Vintage V100 ICON Series - Lemon Drop (Peter Green inspired)

[Popmuseum]

Hi,

is there anybody who played the "Vintage V100 ICON Series - Lemon Drop (Peter Green inspired)" (http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/f...oduct_id/20028) and can tell something about this guitar? Is it worth buying?



... The reverse-fitted neck humbucker and out of phase centre position wiring created one of the most recognisable guitar sounds of the genre – real “Black Magic”. ... "When I was young and in a band, we supported the original Fleetwood Mac to play at a gig we'd organised. Fleetwood Mac let us use their PA, and Peter Green even let me use his amp! He wouldn’t let me use his guitar but he was always my favourite guitarist....” (Read more: http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html)

See you,

See you,
Popmuseum

Yes, I've got one.
It's my favorite guitar among the others: Fender Strat-plus, Ibanez AM73T hollow body, Epihone Black Beauty with three pickups and Bigsby tremolo.

I love the Lemon drop, it surely is worth the price.

See and hear me play the instrument at you tube:

We also did Need Your Love So Bad, but sadly not (yet) on YouTube.

Anyway, judge the guitar for yourself. I am really pleased with it, especially regarding the price as compared to Gibson.

Just forgot to mention:

The only thing lacking is my ability to play as subtle as Peter Green did/does

Thank you for your detailled answer. Now I'm going to judge the guitar for myself. Hope I'll get to see one soon.

Nowadays even Peter Green doesn't play as subtle as he did long ago.

You're doing a great job. I wished I could play the guitar as well as you do.

dolphin music sells them for £244.00 GBP inc VAT [= 309.- Euros] (other shops sell them for £349.00 GBP inc VAT ).
In Austria und Germany you have to pay between 444.- and 495.- Euros. A big difference.

I tried to order at Dolphin Music, but it took way too long before there was one available. Finally I got one at one of my local musical instruments stores. The selling price being 499,- Euro's I only paid 450,- Euro's (I got a 10% discount being a regular customer).
If you're not in a rush, try Dolphin music.
I just took a glance at their website, there seem to be 5 in stock.

You could test the guitar you bought, we've got to buy a pig in a poke (I've been told every guitar is different so you've got to test them first. I hope mine is a good one).

Ordered on Monday, delivered today. The axe seems to be fine. Great. Thanks to Wouter for this recommendation.

By the way: Dolphins Music got no "Lemon Drop" in stock anymore: 0 lemon drops left.
