So There’s This Thing...
/
You want a vintage guitar—almost everyone does—but they can often be kind of “ragged.” Many times part of the deal. Okay.
But you want yours to be awesome and an excellent performer—of course, who wouldn’t?
And even better, it should sound and look like the best vintage guitar you have ever heard or seen—even if it is gig-worn.
And wouldn’t it be so great if it also played extraordinarily well, with beauty and grace and flow—like almost effortless.
Well...!
And once you’ve played one...
Yep.
This Black over Tobacco Burst, Icon projects the most gorgeously authentic and lush vintage single tones ever heard, courtesy of a balanced set of our richly wound VA-series pickups—staggered, alnico magnet pole pieces.
All the “spice” you are looking for from this style of pickup, done in a full-bodied vintage way.
And yes, it is true that true single coil pickups can hum—but did you ever listen to Jimi and enjoy the song less because of it?
Probably not.
But still, if you think that 60-cycle hum could keep you, and the engineer, from fully bonding with original style single coil pickups, this In-Distress, Icon is also equipped with a hum-cancelling system—built specifically to counterbalance the 60-cycle wave form from this style of pickup. We have several artist that really love this setup.
Where is this one going: Headed to Sound Pure in Durham, North Carolina. Yes, we have said it before but it is so true, these “guys” really do have a knack for ordering some of the coolest guitars ever.
