VINTAGE® ELECTROS NOW WITH FISHMAN SYSTEMS®

The recent Frankfurt Musikmesse saw JHS promoting the European re-launch of their acclaimed range of high-spec acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars.

Designed to offer all the levels of specification, materials, options and – most importantly – playing performance expected from guitars which belong in much higher price brackets, Vintage continues to offer a comprehensive selection of fine-looking, fine-playing instruments which any guitarist would be proud to own.

Tone-enhancing premier quality solid tops are a standard feature on all Vintage acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, alongside a choice of superior tonewoods which make up the back and sides of each instrument. Whether in a carefully selected laminate or a solid tonewood such mahogany or rosewood along with elegantly-shaped and crafted instrument necks, Vintage guitars are designed to offer maximum player comfort.

And now, upping the value factor even more with no attendant retail price increase, all Vintage electro-acoustics in the range will feature pickupo and preamp systems from legendary American acoustic amplification experts, Fishman, fitted as standard. For many years, Fishman's unwavering goal of acoustic excellence has resulted in not only their heralded position as the world's #1 pickup and preamp specialist, but also no less than 30 patents awarded by the US Patent Office.

The impeccable, acoustic-friendly performance of Fishman systems will prove the ideal complement to the sweet and responsive tonal qualities of Vintage guitars. Fishman acoustic amplification's acclaimed transparent tonal qualities are perfectly suited to the crisp, full-toned note detail that marks Vintage instruments out as impressive performers in any musical style, whether played fingerstyle or with a plectrum.

“We are very proud to collaborate with JHS on their Vintage range of electro-acoustic guitars," is Larry Fishman's enthusiastic response to the new Vintage/Fishman collaboration. "The JHS team has created a line of instruments that are well suited for any performance application and deliver great value for money," he continues, adding, "We are confident that the Vintage/Fishman partnership will yield many more fine instruments in the future."
