As such, any Thomas Blug signature guitar had to be capable of producing a wealth of tones and timbres. As well as his finely-tuned auditory abilities, Thomas is famed for his innate sense of expression, his touch on the instrument, and the varied influences which inform his world-class playing style. The task was set to produce a guitar that provided both an expansive tonal palette and the high level of playability and versatility required in a professional electric guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eThe V6MRTBG is the result of a collaborative project between Herr Blug and the Vintage design team; a signature guitar, tweaked and refined by a finite degree to satisfy the most discriminating ear. The V6MRTBG combines the looks and feel of Thomas's long-favoured '61 guitar, with a series of contemporary design tweaks and modern technological advancements. Authentic 60s style aluminium shielding under scratchplate reduces hum and static noise, while Thomas' 'Bukka' switch provides access to extra tones via a push-push tone control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e“Outstanding,” says Thomas. “Designing and tweaking every part of this guitar has been labour of love. To achieve all this, in an instrument which literally anyone can afford, even a first time buyer, it's unbelievable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cb class=\"\"\u003eV6 Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cb class=\"\"\u003eBody:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003eAmerican alder body provides resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort, enhanced with correctly radiused contoured body.\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cb class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003eVibrato:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003eThe Wilkinson WVC vibrato bridge featured on the Vintage V6 is a masterpiece of detail.
