Benchmarking; Setting the Standard

Big, hollow bodied Vintage jazz guitars offer a uniquely traditional playing experience. The VSA750 Brooklyn’s spruce top, for instance, with its elegantly stylised f-holes, accurately reflects the European origins of this style of guitar, whilst the maple body introduces a bright, crisply detailed note quality.

Featuring the traditional 17” body width at its widest point, with a 3” body depth, the guitar’s internal volume is further increased by the gently arched top and back of the body, all beautifully set off by the impressive Tobacco Sunburst finish on all three of the big jazz guitars.

The ‘floating’ mini double coil pickup located at the end of the neck captures string travel at its maximum point, providing a warm and well-rounded output signal. Included in this is a significant amount of acoustic tone from the big hollow body which imparts acoustic characteristics into the overall sound.

Big guitars, big tone.

The Vintage VSA555/535 Series semi-acoustic guitars are capable of a diverse range of guitar duties, from rock to blues to jazz. Slim, double edge bound, f-hole bodies with gently arched front and back shaping feel attractive and comfortable to play, whilst the two double coil pickups push out thick dollops of prime guitar tone.

With their unmistakable looks, sounds and feel, the characterful Vintage VSA850 guitars make a definitive statement about the music you want to play. They’re versatile too, with two double coil pickups and 50’s style lever arm vibrato systems that give your sound an authentic tremolo action. Available in two classic finishes for this style of guitar, a transparent perspex scratchplate also adds to the vintage vibe.

The Vintage VSA850’s are great to look at, great to play – and great sounding!
