Vintage Semi-Acoustic Guitars
VSA750ATS
Tobacco Sunburst
£549.00

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.
