A solid mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fingerboard are arguably one of the best tonewood combinations for an electric guitar.
With these quality timbers alone, the Vintage VRS100 REVO Sessionman is capable of endless sustain and soaring harmonics, now add custom wired pickups and intricate tone switching circuitry, designed by the legendary UK guitar builder and hardware specialist Alan Entwistle, and this stunning model can effortlessly transition between a wide range of musical styles.
The Sessionman’s tonal capacities are characterised by many key features, these include a pair of Entwistle Neotron high impedance pickups wired via a 3 way selector switch, separate double coil to single coil and Phase switches, rotary controls for Volume, and Warmth which produces a rich warm tone when rolled back, Density control which governs the DC impedance rating of the pickups output, and 5 position control which engages the ATN 6 way tone circuitry.
Stunning on the eye, the Vintage VRS100 Sessionman looks aesthetically pleasing with a high gloss finish highlighting the mahogany grain, multi-layered body and headstock binding, 22 fret bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays, black scratchplate and control panel, hardware includes Graphtech nut, Wilkinson 3 aside WJ44 machine heads and T-O-M bridge.
