VINTAGE VS6 ICON - DISTRESSED CHERRY RED

40yrs old, Had a Strat for the last 20yrs though haven't played in some years. Decided on a wee treat, a new Guitar to rekindle my interest in playing. The first think I'd recommend after reading all the reviews is that you remember - You ARE NOT buying from Amazon! You are buying from varying firms selling VIA Amazon. This may account for some of the varying reviews. I bought mine from "JunctionMusic".It arrived strung with 10's and reasonably in tune considering package and transport. I think it is a stunning looking guitar, Mahogany body, set neck, Wilkinson hardware - it has some quality going on as well. If I had to pick on a weak point, Id say the pots felt a little on the cheap side. The FIRST thing you should do though is put on fresh strings. Always. Then you'll get a feel. A bit of gain and the guitar was singing - very very rich in sustain.If you have never heard of Vintage Guitars, they are made by John Hornby Skewes in England. And should be mentioned in the same sentences as Epiphone if not Gibson itself. Check out this youtube comparison - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjk2rdFXx2M ... I think the majority prefer the Vintage over the Epi though you may have a different personal preference.In short, yes the Gibson is probably the best but its 4 times the price. This is really a fantastic wee guitar !!

I'm honestly stunned by this product, I've played all sorts of SG's (except for Gibson) it is a really wonderful design it gives a lot of quality parts for a decent price but I have one issue with mine.when I bend the g string it catches making this little noise which bothers me but otherwise I'm very happy with the guitar.

Delighted. Arrived in a couple of days, packaged so well that it came out of the box in tune and ready to play! Must agree with all other reviews, this is an excellent guitar for the money. Must also give a big thumbs up to the seller - Hot Rox UK Music - who did a sterling job.

guitar not balanced and selector switch does not work

Not what I expected,

vintage make amazingly good guitars at a very good price. I've owned two now and they have both been awesome. This VS6 is really good to play and the sound is great. Highly recommend it!

Never heard of Vintage Guitars before I saw one advertised and decided to take a punt on it first thing guitar was immaculate second thing unbelievable guitar sound ,weight, hardware and quality of build is just unbelievable these Guitars have be up there with Gibson I prefer it to Epiphone any day infact I am now buying a Vintage VSA 500 look at the video on YouTube its getting compared to a Gibson and it comes out head first.

I've picked up a 2nd hand one of these, and it is the loveliest guitar I've played before you start getting up near the £1000 mark. I am not a great guitarist (picked up after many years) but it makes you want to play. I've been going to a band practice space and it has been admired by a few people. Ignore the low reviews, this is a great guitar for the money.
