Nashville Rocks with Vintage guitars
Nashville's name has been synonymous with great music for decades. This requires great guitarists – and a number of formidable players are using Vintage® guitars to keep the riffs and licks flowing in style.

Exclusively distributed worldwide by John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd., Vintage guitars have the authentic sounds, playability and looks demanded by today's professional gigging musicians – and all that without the hefty price tag.

One of the longest running groups in the Music City, The Don Kelley Band has been rocking crowds since 1981. Kelley began playing at the iconic Robert’s Western World venue in the mid-1990s, and some of the best players who’ve been part of his band include Brent Mason, David Byrd, Paul Cook, Sid Hudson and Johnny Hiland.

The current lineup is Dave Roe (bass), JD Simo (guitar), Artie Alinikoff (drums) and, of course, Don Kelley (rhythm and lead guitar). Don himself plays a Vintage V100MRPGM Lemon Drop, while JD Simo rocks the beautiful, mysterious and exclusive Vintage VS6MRF 'Fool' Guitar. Dave Roe's groovy basslines are all handled on his trusty fretless Vintage VJ96MRJP.



Although born in England, Michael Spriggs spent years playing in Nashville as lead guitarist for Eddie Rabbitt. He played guitar on Rabbitt’s first four albums and received a Naras Super Picker Award in 1979. In total, Spriggs played on eleven number one songs for Rabbitt. He has also played on over 5000 live, radio, and televised shows. Spriggs can currently be seen rocking his distressed butterscotch Vintage Icon V52MRBS.



Matt Lee is a Nashville-based guitarist with more than 20 years' experience. Currently playing lead guitar in the much-tipped Travis Mann band, Matt coaxes his melodies out of a Vintage Reissued V52BS in butterscotch.
