Review – Vintage V160VSB Acoustic Guitar

Here’s the latest review from our sister-site Acoustic Review looking at a Vintage Guitars V160VSB acoustic, featuring…

  • Spruce top with Mahogany back & sides,
  • ‘Orchestra’ body shape with black / white / black binding,
  • Vintage headstock with gold logo,
  • Mahogany, 20-fret ‘C’ Profile neck with white split block inlay fingerboard,
  • 649mm scale length with 43mm nut,
  • Vintage chrome machine heads.

Vintage says...”With a beautiful satin top coat over a gorgeous Vintage Sunburst finish, the Vintage Historic Series Orchestra acoustic guitar, radiates class in every sense of the word. Stunning cosmetic features for this beautiful model also include contrasting black/white/black body binding and soundhole rosette design, classic 3-aside headstock with gold logo design, and attractive split-block, white inlaid fingerboard position markers. With its small waste and larger bouts, the Vintage Historic Series Orchestra acoustic guitar, is the halfway house body size between the parlour and dreadnought, with an intimate feel in the playing position and very popular with players seeking solid low frequencies, punctuated mids and sweet highs. With a lightweight mahogany-spruce construction, and an exceptionally smooth 20 fret fingerboard, the Vintage Historic Series Orchestra acoustic guitar excels as a ‘players acoustic guitar’. For decades, spruce soundboards have been a favourite with luthiers around the world. This is a tonewood renowned for its strength to weight ratio, natural tight grain pattern and the ability to effortlessly deliver a well rounded tonal response and note separation, from the most delicate fingerpicking to heavily strummed chord patterns. Mahogany itself is a superb choice for the back, sides and neck, which widens the tonal range with extended low frequencies, pronounced lower-mids and mellow sweet highs. Smooth action tulip button machine heads, ensure stable tuning and, fitted with high quality USA made strings as standard, the Vintage Historic Series Orchestra acoustic performs and sounds as good as it looks, the ideal choice for home, stage or studio.”

Vintage V160VSB: UK RRP: £179.00
