General

It may be clear that the V100GT is modelled after the American single-cut model. Fortunately, it's price is much lower than that of the original. Make no mistake however, because despite its modest price, this is a full-grown guitar that is bound to appeal to fully grown guitarists. Especially considering its price, this guitar's specs are nothing short of impressive. For instance, the V100GT has a solid mahogany body with an arched mahogany top, and is fitted with pickups and hardware designed by Trevor Wilkinson. Wilkinson is a household name in the guitar-making scene, and his hardware and pickups are renowned for their excellent price to quality ratio.

Construction

On the V100 GT, the iconic single-cut body features a comfortably bevelled heel, which allows you to reach even the highest frets with ease. The mahogany body and set-in neck ensure a warm tone with plenty of sustain, while the two ceramic P-90 single-coils handle the amplification excellently. These pickups are more powerful than standard single-coils and offer more sparkle than a humbucker, making the guitar suited for many types of music, ranging from smooth jazz and blues to raw punk rock. In the hardware and tone departments, this Vintage carefully follows the American example's blueprints.

The Vintage brand

Vintage's history can be roughly divided into two periods. In their early days, they made cheap, hardly noticeable copies of American originals. This drastically changed when Trevor Wilkinson - known for making high-quality guitar components and the high-end Fret King guitars - tied his name to the brand. Not only did Vintage's hardware division receive a shot of quality, the wood selection and construction methods were also vastly improved. Since then, Vintage have become known for their excellent price to quality ratio. The brand has been holding its own among the ferocious competition in this price range.

Esta es la tercera guitarra que compro a Bax Music y sin duda no será la última.

La atención postal y el envío ha sido como en las veces anteriores: excelente. El paquete llegó en el plazo previsto sin ningún problema.

En cuanto a la guitarra, llegó ajustada y quintada de factoría y no ha sido necesario tocarle nada. El mástil es muy cómodo. Se toca muy bien y las pastillas me han dado una sorpresa. Son al parecer una especie de P90 mejoradas por Wilkinson. Suena clarita y brillante en limpio, y con distorsión tiene el crunch característico de las P90 pero sin meter tanto ruido. El acabado es bastante bueno con algunos fallos de pintura pero no hay problema con eso. En definitiva, una goldtop muy pero que muy solvente, poco que envidiar a guitarras que cuestan el doble. Tengo también una Gibson Les Paul Studio. Adivinen qué guitarra estoy tocando más.

Vandaag (5 december) deze prachtige gitaar thuisbezorgd gekregen, prima en snelle service van Bax, uiteraard zou ik zeggen.
Hij is behoorlijk aan het gewicht, maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Zeer netjes afgewerkt op een paar kleine schoonheidsfoutjes na wat betreft de palisander toetsen, maar dat zag ik pas veel later.
De afstelling is perfect, goede snaarhoogte ook en zelfs de stemming/intonatie is perfect, dus inpluggen en spelen. Ik maak gebruik van een Marshall versterker MGCFX-serie en een Vox StompLab IG.
Hij speelt gemakkelijk, soepel, snel. Als ik dit vergelijk met mijn Fender Telecaster is dit "heaven".
De Wilkinson P90 elementen doen uitstekend hun werk en inderdaad er zit een geweldige sustain in deze gouden gitaar. Natuurlijk is het geen Gibson, maar voor deze prijs heb je echt een prima gitaar.
Het einige minpuntje, als je dat al zo mag noemen, is het setje snaren. Ik weet niet wat voor merk er op zit, maar die ga ik in ieder geval wel even vervangen.
Al met al een echte aanrader.
