The Vintage V400 guitars offer numerous advantages to anyone interested in owning a good all-round acoustic guitar. The V400’s full size dreadnought shape body gives an appealingly well-rounded sound thanks to its large internal body volume and solid spruce top. The guitar offers good projection of sound coupled with an equally impressive depth of tone and a well defined crispness in the treble range. This open sound lends itself well to almost any style of playing, from a pleasant resonant ring to a lively, attacking tone during plectrum use, to a warm, responsive clarity if played fingerstyle.

With a neck shape which will suit most hand sizes, the edge bound rosewood fingerboard feels smooth and easy to play, thanks to the fine gauge frets. And on the unfussy, straightforward headstock shape, the chrome plated, enclosed gear tuners are both stable and accurate in use with the high quality USA made strings, further adding to the highly enjoyable experience of playing a V400 acoustic.

With a choice of attractive colours available, including a natural finish left handed version, a V400 is the ideal choice of guitar for anyone who needs a versatile acoustic guitar with an impressively full and open sound.

‘The V1500 is a bold, sonorous performer, with a rich low-end follow-through’
‘Presentation quality is also enhanced by excellent build tidiness and good timber selection’
‘...the whole quality of tone and texture is one you’d associate with a more expensive instrument’
‘To be able to buy into a more upmarket rosewood spec at this kind of money, and on an instrument so elegantly kitted out, is a real find’
Jerry Uwins – Guitar & Bass Magazine
