'I
am proud to put my name to this guitar
and for it to be part of my musical legacy'.
– Gordon Giltrap
Vintage®Excellence
Highly
regarded as one of the worlds greatest guitar players,
Gordon has been at the forefront of acoustic guitar
playing since the late 1960's and has released more
than thirty albums in his four decades in the music
business.
Designed in conjunction with respected master luthier
Rob Armstrong and Gordon himself, the crossover Grand
Auditorium/000 style Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap
Signature electro-acoustic is based on a hand-crafted
instrument that Rob made back in 1980 and Gordon plays
today. Featuring a high grade solid North American cedar
top, with mahogany back and sides, the signature ‘small
waist’ body is complemented by Rob’s trademark
headstock design.
The bridge is high grade rosewood, with a gradually
compensated natural bone saddle providing excellent
intonation, whilst the mahogany neck comes with a top
quality rosewood fingerboard, with genuine abalone inlays
and side dot markers.
Electrics are provided via a Fishman Presys Blend preamp
and Sonicore pickup system, which features a built in-microphone
with mic blend control, notch -– anti feedback
control, phase control button, three band EQ and volume
control as well as a built-in guitar tuner, with flip-top
easy battery access.
Gordon comments "My original guitar has a very
strong treble with a sort of springy and expressive
sound to the bass end. The new Vintage guitar has all
of this combined with an overall warmth and balance
to its tonality."

Guitar Legend and the next generation
of keyboard wizardry join forces for a new record!
March 2013 saw guitar legend Gordon Giltrap and
keyboardist Oliver Wakeman (following his years of touring with the classic progressive rock band YES) release their debut collaborative album 'Ravens & Lullabies' on the Esoteric Antenna label.
The album is a 13 song collection of hard hitting memorable rock pieces coupled with thought provoking lyrics alongside acoustic duets featuring their fine instrumental interplay.
