The V59 ICON is capable of providing a multitude of musical tones from a simple array of pickups and controls and often the answer, when we are stuck for song writing inspiration or to complete that all so important lead line. Offered in Distressed Black and Distressed Sunburst, the V59 Series models with double bound Eastern poplar bodies, hard maple necks and fingerboards, look for all the world like they’ve spent years in the studio and on the road.
