Vintage ICON V100MR

Around christmas time I decided it was time for a new guitar. So that's what I got.
My mum and I spent a lot of time on the internet researching different guitars to fond the sort of thing I wanted, which at the time was a slightly downsized acoustic guitar. However, closer to the time I came to the conclusion that I already had an acoustic guitar and what I'd really like was an electric one.

Around christmas time I decided it was time for a new guitar. So that's what I got.
My mum and I spent a lot of time on the internet researching different guitars to fond the sort of thing I wanted, which at the time was a slightly downsized acoustic guitar. However, closer to the time I came to the conclusion that I already had an acoustic guitar and what I'd really like was an electric one.
As a not particularly acomplished guitarist (yet) It didn't seem particularly sensible to go spending loads of money on a hobby which may never amount to anything so one of the top priorities for me when looking for the guitar was cheapness but at the same time value for money (In other words, NOT A STAGG!)
I came accross the make 'Vintage' on a music website, and did a bit of research into the particular guitar I was after - the one I write about now, and decided for definite that it was what I wanted.
I think if you're an immediate guitarist, who's looking for something a bit more dignified than just a beginner set. But at the same time knows they can't afford to pay out for a real gibson les paul, then this is the guitar for you. It has a really nice classic rock sound which can be altered to different levels of clean or distorted. And although I haven't had it long, I can varify that other people who have, (some of which are friends fo mine, others are review writers) have said that it's a very reliable guitar, and very good value for money not just in the short term but in the long term aswell.
It's a very versatile guitar with a very versaile look, feel and sound. It has wonderful playability, sounds excellent for the money, and generally was just exactly what I was looking for. I'd recommend it to any budgeted guitarist! It's a working class gibson les paul :)
