Members o.versteer Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 Couple of guys on here endorse them, CSM and MetalheadUK, I think. They're very nice guitars for the money, although nearly all of the ones I've had my hands on have had minor QC issues - but hey, what doesn't these days.

Members tonyv77 Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 ask guys from the UK. It's a big brand over there. Only played one myself. Wasn't setup goo (no fault of the guitars), the finish was not too my taste. Seems like a solid guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 Both metalheadUK and myself not only use but endorse the Vintage LP-alike known as the 'Lemon Drop' ... it's a cheap-n-cheerful replica of the famous old Les Paul 'burst with the 'reversed' neck PU previously owned by both Peter Green and Gary Moore ... and it's a fabulous instrument way better than it has any right to be for the price. MHUK also has a Vintage Stratalike which is pretty damn good ... at least it sounds that way when Marc plays it, but then most things do. All n all, Vintage is the hippest budget guitar brand you can find in Europe. http://www.jhs.co.uk/vintageelectric.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are AWESOME for the price. Trev Wilkinson started the company and makes them in Asia. You get Wilkinson components. I have played a few Les Pauls and SGs they made......EXCELLENT....I would buy one in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flori Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have their 'PRS-a-like' vrs100................. My first guitar and still one of my faves.........kick-started my whole love affair with electric guitar. Quality hardware - awesome pups - final QC/finish a bit suspect but a lot of good guitar for a couple of hundred smackers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Musicscotty Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 I tried a Vintage VSA590 (Casino replica) last week and it was outstanding.

Members scott944 Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 Perhaps we're a little ahead of the curve for once. One of my local emporia - Rt. 60 Music in Barboursville, WV - just picked 'em up (hello Paul). Saw them today, but didn't have time to try.

Members plasticscouse Posted November 5, 2010 Members Share Posted November 5, 2010 Vintage is a great brand, been going for quite a number of years, Trevor Wilkinson got involved in them 4/5 years ago. In fact he's probably got in volved in the whole JHS distribution brands I've heard good things about them and they have a bit unusual line up Eric Clapton Fool SG The Lemon Drop (somewhere on this forum about it) Casino Replica (semi hollow not Full hollow) and they're coming wouth with SG jrs and specials. Yes I read theire magazine it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
