Full Description
View Full DescriptionEMG 81 & 85 Pickups
Featuring high output active EMG 81 and 85 humbucking pickups, the Eric Peterson Old Skull V delivers a sharp attack and a beefy rhythm tones when in the 81 bridge position, and a warm and dynamic tonality when in the 85 neck position. EMG pickups are a first choice for many professional musicians such as James Hetfield (Metallica), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society) and Matt Tuck (Bullet For My Valentine) as they provide incredible tone, reliable active circuitry and low noise.
Mahogany Body & Neck
Constructed from a mahogany body with set-in mahogany neck, the Eric Peterson Limited Edition guitar has a medium weight and produces a warm and balanced tone with plenty of bite and grit. Additionally, the V shaped mahogany neck provides a smooth playability with plenty of definition in the lower mid range.
String Thru Body
The Old Skull V incorporates a string-thru body construction to provide improved tonality and sustain by transferring vibrations and resonance from the string to the body as it goes over the tune-o-matic bridge and passes through the body.
