Vintage is one of those books which is exactly what you expect. It has a glossy, expensive looking cover, with a model clutching a bottle of champagne, its title and author splashed across the middle of the cover in bold, gold lettering. It looks to be a glamorous, sexy read, and it does indeed deliver on its promises - and a little extra something added in there too.
Vintage follows three women who enter the man's world of wine-making, well champagne making to be exact. Madeleine Arsenault is the daughter of a French champagne-maker, and is left his vineyard when he dies. Madeleine wants to produce a vintage wine of her own, and is determined to prove her critics, who don't believe a woman can create a great wine, wrong and to rise to the top of her game. Kelly Elson, a chambermaid in a hotel is also left a vineyard in a will, but ...
Advantages: The Wilkinson hardware. The playability. Good value. Disadvantages: The blue finish hides the flamed maple veneer. Tone+Volume knobs. Serial number format.
Vintage VRS100
Well first off I paid £150 for this. Ex-demo, so not new, not second hand, think in-between the two. This is a PRS copy and Vintage have pretty much nailed the body shape! It's a Double-cut. Vintage says the VRS means "Vintage Rock Series".
The finish I chose for this guitar was the "through blue". A very dark blue finish on the front with a lighter greeny-blue on the back and neck. This finish is semi transparent (you can see the wood). Through blue is now a discontinued colour.
For the body 3 pieces of Eastern poplar have been used. A bookmatched flamed maple veneer is glued on top. The top of the guitar is carved while the back is contoured for comfort. The neck is nice and chunky set neck and is made up of 2 pieces of maple with a 1 piece rosewood fingerboard. Upon the fretboard are 24 medium frets ...
Advantages: Sounds excellent, good value for money and looks really good Disadvantages: May be slightly misleading, It doesn't sound exactly like a gibson!
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 ...
