Vintage has introduced a new version of its V65 Icon Series electric guitar with vibrato. The Vintage Icon V65V is an offset solid-body electric with a distressed aesthetic that recalls a well-played but looked-after classic guitar from the early 1960s. All scuffs and abrasions on the front, sides and rear of the body are undertaken by the team of Vintage luthiers. The V65V is available in Distressed Black or Distressed Tobacco Sunburst (pictured).
Snare Tune-Up Kits from Evans Drumheads give players the tools, materials and instructions to modify, adjust and maintain the most essential piece of the drum kit: the snare drum. The kits are available in two offerings, with either UV1 or Calftone as the centerpiece of the kit. Both kits include an Evans Branded Microfiber cloth, a unique drum key, Lug Lube, hardware polish, Barney Beats Branded ProMark Rebound 5A drumsticks, a Snare Side 300 drumhead and a two-pack sampler of the new Evans EQ Pods. The UV1 Snare Tune-Up Kit is available in 13- and 14-inch sizes with Puresound Custom Pro snare wires for sonic versatility and long-lasting durability. The Calftone Snare Tune-Up Kit (pictured) is available in a 14-inch size with Puresound Concert Series snare wires providing a classic warm, full tone suitable for jazz.
