Vintage V6mrhdx Summer Of Love Strat

For well over 130 years, the cute little ukulele has ignored and survived all musical fashions and trends, and is more popular today than it’s ever been.

The ‘take it anywhere’ size and portability concept and the fact that you can play just about any musical style from traditional Hawaiian music to classical, blues, country, jazz, bluegrass, funk, punk and rock along the way, has seen the ukulele outsell all other popular stringed instruments over the last few years.

Offered in a smart Natural finish and complete with handy accessories that include pitch pipe, pick and carry bag, it’s no wonder why the VUK20N Vintage Soprano Ukulele is our best seller.

The soprano is the smallest and lightest model in the ukulele family, with the VUK20N offering exceptional playability with a comfortable to play neck and a smooth 12 fret mahogany fingerboard. This superb little uke has size defying volume and with a sapele tonewood body, chords and fretted notes, effortlessly bark with that unmistakable percussive chime.

The VUK20N arrives in an attractively, designed brightly, coloured gift box as an extremely affordable and yet valuable, well thought out present and with these essential accessories, you’re ready to go.

Whilst some would say the ukulele season is almost upon us, others would say they juke their uke all year around, especially if it’s a Vintage Uke. Play on.

The V6MRHDX is a psychedelic tone machine that evokes the spirit of rock and roll in the late Sixties.

Thomas Blug explains; “I wanted a guitar that looked cool, like Hendrix's, but with all the features of my modern day signature guitar.” In keeping with Thomas' requests, the V6MRHDX is equipped with the same top quality specs as both his treasured '61 and his original Vintage signature V6 guitar; meticulously aged parts simulate years of wear and tear, while the 7.5” fingerboard radius, sophisticated switching and hum-cancelling wiring of Blug's Vintage signature is replicated. Authentic 60s style aluminium shielding under scratchplate reduces him and static noise, while Thomas' 'Bukka' switch provides access to extra tones via a push-push tone control.

Imbued with the sense of freedom for creative expression that embodied the age by which it was inspired, the V6MRHDX 'Summer of Love' also features a reversed headstock and eye-catching, hand-applied graphics specially created by German artist Daniel Hahn.
