I'm quite taken by this guitar:

Does anyone have any experience with Vintage in general or indeed this guitar? I really like the styling of this one, and it looks like I could finally fulfill my dream of installing a Bigsby on summat!

Yes.

HerbieTheRadDorklift · 04-01-2009, 04:55 PM

The Advance series are even better.

I've got the V100 Les Paul. Quality for the price. Vintage range gets good reviews.

Very good but try before you buy http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html

the advances i've tried have been pretty variable. i'd want to try before buying (which means you can't get the much more attractive online prices

).

I though the icon strat was ok, but I liked the peter green guitar a lot.
I would like one of those

Robbie Gladwell has his own range of "signature" Vintage guitars now. I've been in the workshop when he's been setting them up ... and he does a lot of work to make the fresh-out-of-the-factory guitar play properly. Mind, he is a perfectionist!

Not played the semi but I was well taken by the strat and LP copies.

I think they are better than they used to be. The few I have played weren't up to much, beginners instruments, and it showed. It seems they have a hefty advertising budget behind them these days though, judging by the pagecount in all the magazines. Their endorsement adverts make me laugh a bit, I'm sure all their endorsees are top notch players, but they're hardly in the upper echelons of "fame".
