A selection of the very popular Vintage ProShop guitars, also air themselves at Guitar Summit this year. Expertly and authentically ‘worn’ in all the right places by hand, the only way the skilled team of Vintage luthiers know how, these superb models are totally individual, as one-offs featuring quality tonewoods and time-tested hardware.
Whilst the word ‘unique’ is often misused when describing an instrument, it’s safe to say the new Joe Doe 2023 Limited Edition series of electric guitars and basses by Vintage®, designed by Ben Court with an Americana theme, are without doubt, seriously unique. Constructed from selected tonewoods and high quality hardware, the full range on show will include the Gas Jockey, Gambler and Hot Rod guitars and Lutetia Bass, all models have a fascinating non-fictional back story written by Court himself along with detailed case-candy.
In conjunction with the world renowned British guitar builder and designer, Alan Entwistle, Vintage have launched REVO Series (Retro Vintage Originals), a brand-new line of electric guitars and basses for 2023.
Superbly crafted from excellent tonewoods and available in a range of stunning finishes, the Revo Series features classic retro themes running throughout the range of intriguing solid, big-bodied, semi-acoustic, thin-line and offset body designs. All models feature a range of Entwistle designed low-noise, custom pickups for extreme tone and output, along with a host of onboard switching facilities.
