SOLD: Upgraded Raygun Vintage V100 LP
Vintage V100 Lemon Drop (Les Paul copy).
This started out as a standard V100 icon Lemon Drop, an excellent copy of Peter Green & Gary Moore's favourite guitar.
It was then sent by its previous owner to Raygun Relics where it was professionally refinished & setup. The wear actually looks totally natural- the photos don't do it justice.
The neck has the traditional heel (rather than the new angled Vintage join) it's been sanded back to wood & is silky smooth and comfortable- despite the sanding it's still a reassuring handful.
I've also upgraded pickups to Iron Gear Dirty Torque & Blues Engine humbuckers- both with coil taps. This expands the range of tones at your fingertips. It really sings now.
Whilst the p'ups were getting done, I also upgraded electronics- pots, wiring & caps.
All the other hardware is good quality Wilkinson stuff- no buzzes, rattles etc, the guitar intonates & holds tune perfectly.
Overall it's a great guitar & one I'll be sad to see go, but I've got two young children & need to make some space.
I'm looking for £250ono- the refinishing & upgrades make this a significant improvement on what left the factory.
Cash on collection from Stockbridge, Edinburgh only thanks... I've had a courier disaster already & am not keen to repeat the experience. Sorry.

If I recall correctly, the stock poly was thinned and touched up to make it all more authentic looking. (The upper bout, back of body & neck being the most obvious places).
It was then apparently given a thin coat of nitro meaning it'll naturally wear slightly as its played in the future. There's some checking etc going on, but it's hard to photograph.
It certainly feels in hand like an older guitar, which I guess is the point.
