“I
had the privilege of being involved in the design process
for these guitars. I wanted to recreate the sound of
an early 12-string that so many guitarists seek for
blues playing. Now I've got the finished product, I'm
amazed that you can replicate most 6-string styles on
the 12-string with ease, which has to be a bonus and...
the sound is like a cannon!”
– Paul Brett
Vintage®Excellence
One
of the world's foremost 12-string guitarists and a respected
authority on the history of the instrument, Paul Brett
has worked together with Vintage to create these twin
signature models. Available in 6 and 12-string versions,
the guitars feature solid spruce tops, rosewood backs
and sides, mahogany necks and rosewood fingerboards.
Both come fitted with Fishman Matrix pre-amps and under-saddle
pickups, as well as being supplied with deluxe padded
bags.
The specs are a culmination of Paul's expertise in vintage
guitars, and his signature models are intended to sound
like those classic instruments of the 1920s and 1930s.
Ideal for blues, jazz, folk, fingerstyle, rock, or almost
any other style you care to throw at them, they play
and feel authentic and modern, with a huge and exuberant,
classic tone.

“What
a big sound for a little twelve string guitar.
It has the rich tonal qualities of a 1920s Stella
that set the standard for old country blues
recordings. And the price can't be beat!”
– Stefan Grossman
"Paul
Brett knows all about 12 strings and the new guitar
