  • hope to see these finishes on the vintage someday: les paul custom alike, telecaster double bound and a silverburst v100 would made my life, i love my vintages .... :)

  • @DonPagz But this was 2008, haha.

    But im getting mine for christmas, so they might reduce them abit more :D

    I hope they reduce the AFDParadise, that would be amazing!!

  • Reidys do them from £199.99 to £214.00 depending on which colour you want and if you're left or right handed

  • @DonPagz Reidys,co.uk are selling this for 200

  • how much is this guitar?

  • @TheGpaFilms UK RRP atm is £329, but I'm sure you will be able to find it cheaper than that.

  • I@vintageshred71 I wanna buy this guitar, the problem is I'm in Romania and I don;t know if this vintage V100 it's like the vintage V100 Flamed Ice Tea

  • @TheGpaFilms try our Romanian distributors - M&C MUSICAL INSTRUMENT DISTRIBUTOR SRL BUCURESTI TELEPHONE: +4 021 456 12 90 - regarding you other question, if I understand correctly, This is the Tobacco Sunburst, but the spec is exactly the same for the Iced Tea, it is just a different colour.

  • @vintageshred71 Thx! I've saw the vintage v100 on m&C . I'll buy it for my birthday . Cheers!

  • @vintageshred71 Thanks for clarifying that! :) 

  • @vintageshred71 what amp are you using?

  • @jethro2309 its a Kustom Coupe36 - great valve amp.

  • does this guitar sustain well?

  • @krajnovic10 oh yes.

  • @krajnovic10 I have the same guitar. This has the best sustain in this price, that I've ever tried. And its sound very close to the original Les Paul.

  • @krajnovic10 I have the same guitar. This has the best sustain in this price, that I've ever tried. And its sound very close to the original Les Paul. Thanks for the Wilkinson humbuckers... :)

  • gav you are a great guitarist! make me buy another vintage!

  • @Shaguar66 Lol,thank you :-) \m/

  • How the sound is compared to a similar gibson one?

  • dang, Bob Seger has an accent ??

  • Hi, Gav! I saw this video demo of Vintage V100TSB for hundred times, and I bought one... and I'm happy, 'cause I love this guitar. I try to send you a video response, I played the best Gary Moore song with it, the "Loner". Cheers, and thanx for this demo! :)

  • @malikg1973 Cheers - I've approved the video response good job dude.

  • @malikg1973 LOL i did the same and i bought ice tea model =). then i changed the bridge pickup to a seymour duncan alnico pro II great sound :D

  • are you playing over the kustom coupe 36

  • @petertorro Yes, I'm using the Kustom Coupe 36 in this video - fantastic all valve amp.

  • Can you please tell me what is the output of those pickups? I own this guitar (icon series) but I don't know this. : )

  • @Skullbastard OK sorry for delay with replying, I have asked our technical department about this, and they say that if you put a peak reading, true R.M.S. voltmeter onto the unloaded output of a guitar and wallop the strings, you will easily get 10V output. No one can give you a definitive figure; it depends on how the guitar is set up, and how you play it

  • @vintageshred71 Thanx for the reply :)

  • Could you get the sound Jimmy Page has out of this guitar with just a Marshal valve amp with this??

    I am after something like he has on the How The West Was Won album

    I couldn't really tell in this video with all that fast picking and pinch harmonics because he plays different to that

  • @68SSCAM shouldn't be a problem, although I'm not sure what guitar/s Jimmy used on that particular live session - don't forget he also used Tele's and Danelectro DC59's.

  • @vintageshred71 I am sure that it would be the LP. The Danelectro was only used for White Summer and then for Kashmir and In My Time of Dying. The Telecaster was used in his early work and no so much later on, although it did make some appearances. But the sound on all the heavier songs on the CD are very similar and it sounds very much like the LP and it's form 72 when he used it commonly. If I know for sure I can get the same or similar sound our of this guitar I would very much like one.

  • @68SSCAM @68SSCAM in that case no probs

  • Hey, thanks for the video!

    I'm holding exactly that guitar right now, I just bought one, but I'm having trouble keeping it tuned right, because it goes out of tune pretty fast. I don't have that problem with my fender strat. Do you have any advice?

    Thanks, and keep on rocking

  • @TheArcticMonkeyz hmm, unusual, especially for this model. You could try changing the strings, as if it has the original strings on from new, they could be a few weeks old, or If they are new strings, make sure they are stretched in. If this still doesn't work, message me.

  • @vintageshred71

    Thanks for the fast reply, I'll change the strings.

  • I have that one!!! ojeahh

  • I've gone from wanting a white LP to a Cherryburst LP to a black LP to the Tobacco Burst LP, all of these are Vintage V100's, why? Because they're all so awesome and I've only heard good things about the playability. This will be my second guitar and although I've had chances to get Epiphone's for a good price, I've always said no as after trying one of these it beats the Epi hands down.

    Christmas is but a couple of nights away so hopefully I can get myself a TSB as I have set my heart on it :)

  • I think Vintage makes the best looking Les Paul copies, I think i'm gettin one, where are they made? Does anyoen know'??

  • @Macsk8ing usually China, but some do come from Korea or Indonesia

  • Hey you guys at vintage should release a V100 with a non-plated Wilkinson pickup in the bridge position!

  • @YodaVanGrindey95 watch this space......

  • @YodaVanGrindey95 As in Jimmy page?

  • can u tell me what's the diference between a icon and standart ???please

  • @20zd main difference is that the Icon series are artifiicially aged to make them look old. However on the V100MRJBM and V100MRPGM Icon models there are other differences such as nickel silver pup covers and alternative wirings.

  • Should i buy this Guitar...? Its soo Hot but is it good enough for 300€ ??

  • @KISSisHetero it's the best you can get for 300 €. i play the Vintages VSA535 (ES 335) and bought it for 450 € and i play it more onstage than my Gibson SG Standard. the pick ups are really good but your vintage will sound ace with a DiMarzio, like the rhythm guitarist in my band plays on her vintages V100 lefthand.

  • im going to sell my kramer assault 220 and buy one of this

  • yeah but this one is icone or standard?

  • Standard or icon, i need to know, please 

  • @ImKraush I'd go for the Icon series, but for no other reason than I like the looks.

  • @ImKraush

    what is the difference ???

  • I'm left handed so I'm limited in my choice. I can choose from either this guitar or the ICON Lemon Drop.

    Apart from the custom pickup layout and the ageing, what else do you get for your money on the Lemon Drop version? Is the action any different? are the necks the same?

  • @gecko1010101 the lemon drop has the nickel-silver pickup covers, and also the out of phase wiring in centre position. But in my experience the necks are the same on both models.

  • If you where to choos betwen  a Gibson and a Vintage witch would you choos couse i'm having a hard time deciding.

  • @Kyosho445 vintage

  • 1:12

    wow, i thought i was hearing a Gibson.

  • What type of finish does the neck have?? Matte or gloss?

  • @SlaughteredDecay it's a gloss finish.

  • @vintageshred71 Thanks for your help!

    Cheers

  • How come the truss rod cover is black on this? Some come with white?

  • @jazzy639 well spotted sir! It should indeed be white on this model. Ihave no idea why...perhaps the factory had ordered too many black ones and were trying to slim stocks down...

  • is this a good metal guitar?

  • @thenaked2rist yeah I got one

  • @thenaked2rist dude, it-s a good guitar for all, you just need to know how to play it,,,, excellent for blues and jazz, very good for rock, very good for metal, and very good for Punk, don-t go for the icon series, cuz its more 100 $ and its all the same, just de looks changes, sorry for my english =]

  • is the guitar good for any style of playing  ???

  • @MilosLP4EVER Pretty much, unless you need a single coil tone for something like funk rhythm etc.

  • @vintageshred71 im gonna buy this guitar !!!

  • @MilosLP4EVER Cheers :-) \m/

  • what is the difference between v11 and v99 ??

    plz respond

  • @hrefnajon I'm assuming you mean the V100 and V99? The V99 has a bolt on neck, the V100 has a set neck.

  • Comment removed

  • I've had this guitar for 3 months now and i cant fault it one bit. Much better than the epiphone and if it wasnt for this review i would be stuck with a fender, thanks a bunch.

  • price and quality = vintage ?

  • Comment removed

  • are the tuners in plastic or chrome/gold?? from here tuners look plastic...

  • @ivncdo0809 metal tuners, with plastic buttons - pretty standard.

  • I gonna get the Vintage V100 BB (Black gloss with gold hardware) in a few days - I just ordered it. When I first tested LPs I was so "omgwtfBBQ-punches-in-the-face­" when I heard this guitar in Crunch and Lead Sounds. Clean I find it not THAT great but still good-ok.

    It just sounds so full, warm and singing - I had to get one.

  • Hi! I bought a V100TSB in january. I saw your video about 1000 times before I went to the store, I read many forums, and I agree: it's the best Les Paul model in this price!

    The sound, the playability, the quality is very good. Sorry, I can't write more, I have to pick my "beauty" and play guitar! :) God bless you all and Vintage guitars! Cheers, and sorry for my english!

  • how much for that guitar?

  • @millwer The UK RRP is £299

  • @vintageshred71 i got mine for £199 go on dolphin music.com for cheaper & its well packaged.

  • @millwer at today £204 i'm thinking to buy it...

  • @cicalone70 i know, i checked the shop! and its 199 pounds, im might be getting it next week!!

  • i'm getting a vintage, probably a v100(les paul) or a v6 series (strato) which one you think it's better??

  • @ivncdo0809 Horses for courses - all depends if you want single coil sound (V6) or humbuckers (V100). I prefer humbuckers, but it's all subjective really.

  • Does the pickups have a golden finish on them?

  • Does it have a chrome or a golden finish on the hardware?

    Looks golden but i think it might be the reflection or something.

    Thanks!

  • @Jehenes Hi and thanks for watching. It is gold finished hardware on this particular one.

  • Is this guitar good for the "dirty" Jack White sound?

  • @CubeableGame

    ooh yes

  • Hi Gavin

    I've got a V100 in the cherry burst colour and it's a great guitar and I love playing on it.

    It is a bit heavy though. A friend of mine also has a V100 and he said his isn't that heavy at all.

    It is possible that some V100 differ in weight or am I the one that needs to grow more muscles? :)

    I also look forward to buying a Vintage V6. I tried one and ist teriffic.

    Cheers Gav!

  • Greetings,

    Thanks for a beautiful video. I am interested in buying this particular model.

    Kindly let me know. Thanks

  • this or esp ltd ec-200qm?

  • This one has the proper body wood. If you're after a Les Paul sound. This is the one to get.

  • How do you do those harmonic screaming sounds? I've always wondered..

  • Look up "pinch harmonics" demos here on YouTube...

  • Haha yeah I actually did today anyway when I was trying to learn the solo for Beat It.

  • Hope you got it sorted - not an easy thing to explain in a comment!

  • No certainly not lol. Out of curiosity, how long have you been playing?

  • Started as a bassist in my teens and switched to guitar in my mid twenties so about 24 years in total.

  • Now that sounds much better then the VS6 demo. Nice job.

  • Cheers dude

  • Hi! I have a question. I already have v100tsbs, but I was thinking of buying the V100 lemon drop, so is there much difference between the two of them.

    I also watched your video where you played Rainbow stuff. You really rock man! :D Cheers!

  • Hey thanks man! All I can say is try out a Lemon drop, you won't be disappointed.

  • Thanx, that why I needed to hear =)

  • @vintageshred71 i was dubious about the vintage range, but the strat, 335 and now this paul sound amazing, but would you serously recommend them based on there playability??

  • @strabbs1 Without hesitation - they are seriously good guitars. You might have to spend a little money getting one set up exactly as you want it, but at these prices you can't really go wrong.

  • do the vintages have a better quality than the epiphones?

    btw I really like your accent :D

  • Lol, thanks - it's a West Yorkshire accent if you are interested. I am not going to diss anybody else's gear, but I like to think that we provide the best possible spec in this price bracket. Now where's mi' flat cap and t'whippet gone.....

  • Hi Gavin

    Admit there are differences between the standard Vintage v100 and the vintage v100 icon ?

    Sorry for my bad english

  • Just the artificial ageing, except on the V100MRPGM Lemon Drop, which has nickel silver p/up covers and out of phase centre position wiring.

  • Hey man I left a message with the link in your home page here it is regarded as SPAM

  • Nope, I don't seem to have got it?

  • Well I just found out a picture of a lemon drop, sanded and it is all mahogany. I guess the only way to know for sure, is to look into the pickup cavity. Still sounds great. And has a long tennon. That is a nice feaure

  • you got a copy or a url for that pic?

  • A real maple top of about 1-2 cm's? Or a veneer over mahogany?

  • To my understanding it's a proper maple cap with a flame maple veneer - to use a full flame top would obviously be prohibitively expensive, its one of the reasons the Lemon Drop model is over £100 more at RRP.

  • i brought a Gibson Les paul traditional about 3 weeks ago, and saw one of these hanging up on the wall, compared it to the traditonal, sounded really good, but not up to the fat tone of the gibson trad, a nice, fairly cheap, les paul. If you can't get a Gibson get this

  • Okay wannabee, post a video response of your LP Traditional then...

  • ok, when i get a camera, ill send u a message and you can watch. I'm 13 btw with blond hair if you dont belive me, save this comment and ill message you when its up

  • Hey little boy, you found that camera yet? huh?

  • Come on little one, we are waiting ...

  • @SaulHudsonGibson You find that camera yet? go on show us yer gibbo ...

  • heres also the shop i went to to buy it, i didnt buy it off the website, you can alos find the model there

  • Come on show us your hot licks on yer new Gibbo then...

  • Gonna show us your chops on yer new paul then? We're waiting ...

  • I love this guitar its amazing. Its cheap and way better than most epiphones that you would have to pay 3 times more for the quality you get from a v100. If anyone is thinkin of buying a les paul style guitar get this its brilliant.

  • What amp will by good for this guitar ?

    Roland? Marshall? Peavey ? all 30W.- i wont rock-blues sound!

    I wont buy V100TBS

  • Which V100 have minihumbucker ? which version .. all or ony TSB ?

    ?

    because i wont buy normal humbuckers and changs

  • Hi - only the V100WR (wine red) has the mini humbuckers at the moment.

  • had just the same today...thought of an epiphone, because i couldn't affort a gibson anyway. I was already fine with a epiphone les paul custom until my girlfriend suggested this guitar.

    and it' just amazing. it's so much cheaper and sounds so much better.

    i think my english's good, too. xD

  • But that amp would be able to let a broom neck plays!!! Check out with a practice amp to show the real guitar character...

  • i think it's better than epiphone les paul standard because, vintage is cheaper and sounds much better, i played epiphone standard and vintage v100 and you can see the difference. P.S. My english i s also not so good

  • I have v100, it's great guitar much better than epiphone lp standard and much cheaper.

  • Yes I've a V100 cherry sunburst, but is it really better then the Epiphone :D??

    Sorry for my English

  • I have tried one now and I LOVE IT. It sound great and is so easy to play, and the mics are fantastic :P

  • What is the difference between a Vintage V100 guitar and a Epiphone Les Paul model.

  • You get more than what you pay for with the Vintage and you get ripped off with the epi.

  • in your opinion - which is a better guitar - the v6 or the v100?????

  • You can't really judge one over the other as they are totally different guitars - however I prefer to play V100's simply because of the humbuckers.

  • Hey dude could you please try and tell me what the difference is between a tobacco sunburst model and a flamed iced tea model ?? Thanks

  • its the colour

  • hey this looks like an amazing guitar for its price and the sound quality you get. I'm thinkin about buying one in the iced tea colour if possible. Cool video youre a great player.

  • Hey thank you for your kind comments - The maple top on the Ice Tea has a "flame" wood grain, as wel as being slightly lighter in colour.

  • Hey thanks ive checked em out and i think im gonna go with the flamed iced tea finish one =) Thanks for the great video

  • Got one! Muahhhaaha! :) Not in TSB as I wanted. It is in HoneyBurst which is much cooler than I excpected. Look at my videos to see some sound check i've done. A very VERY mature instrument in fact, not to even compare to other sh..t in the same price level IMO.

  • It sounds like i can play some Guns and roses with it... that right ?

  • Should be great for Slash tone, yeah.

  • i've ordered this model ( V100TSB) at local music store, and already been waiting for 3 weeks for it to come. Driving me crazy. I hope it will be worth waiting and will be much highier quality than my current Tanglewood strat copy :)

  • Is it good for playing Whitesnake tunes? It sure has a nice sound.

  • Oh yeah, especially the earlier (and, IMO, better) Moody/Marsden material.

  • I've got this guitar and it rocks so hard. and you sir are very very good. If you have any time, could you please check out my vids and advise me on how to get a better sound out of this guitar please? I would appreciate it so much if you did. please

  • Thanks dude, I'll check out your vids no problem :-)

  • Thank you so much man, I love it when there's someone on youtube really talented and stuff and still answers all his comments so well! Thank you again really!

  • oh nd another thng are these guitars gd 4 high intemediate cuz iv been playin 4 3yrs nd i wana no if it is at my level

  • Well, if it helps I've been playing in bands for over 20 years - everything from small pubs to medium size concert halls. I've been using Vintage guitars since about 2004, with no complaints.

  • thnx dude they must b top notch guitars btw hav u eva playd at a place called the pitz in milton keynes

  • do u play in a band and if u do do uuse this guitar mainley plz reply

  • Hi dude I do play in a couple of bands, but I mainly use a Vintage VRS100C, a Vintage VR2000MD or a V100MRPGM lemon drop when I play live.

  • hey this is an odd question bt i might gt a vintage frm GAK the music site soon nd i was wonderin if u knew if GAK ship 2 england orders cuz im english so....

  • gak is an english shop in brighton

  • plz reply im trying 2 decide wether 2 gt a vintage or an epi lp 100 wt i realy wnt 2 no is are these guitars the real deal not a nok off of a lp at the mo i wnt an lp 100 mre cuz its mre wel nown nd its a lp bt i saw these guitars nd i cnt decide plzzz reply

  • Can somebody advise this gentleman?

    I'd be just accused of favouritism, even though the Vintage V100 has all the Trev Wilkinson hardware, vintage voiced pickups, full mahogany body and mahogany set neck with maple top.

  • Hi, does anybody know the website for vintage guitars

  • Yes, it's part of the JHS website - link is on the video - and there is a users group on facebook.

  • No, it's purely cosmetic.

  • Is there any difference between gold hardware and chrome hardware on a guitar ? I want to buy a V100 and i can't decide between TSB and CS

  • alright G-man... happy new year

    any idea what the output of the pickups is? i can't be bovvered to take mine apart to measure them... :o)

  • Blimey dude....I'll email the Guru and see what he says!

  • Hi loved your playing and am interested in this specific model but have a few questions.

    How thick is the maple top? On some of the other models it appears to be a flame veneer and a veneer usually affects the tone slightly compared to a solid top.

    What is the difference in the pickups between this and the lemon drop model?

    I have lost interest in epiphone because they use a maple alder laminate top and this model sounds less muffled.

    With regards

  • Hi dude, and thanks for your kind comments. The difference between the pickups on this model and the Lemon Drop is the LD model has nickel silver covers, rather than chrome, and the neck pickup is reverse wound and wire for the out of phase sound in centre position. I have no idea how thick the maple cap is I'm afraid.

  • Nice demo, but these guys charge almost £100 more than anyone else, I got mine for £159 with full setup and guarantee, these guys want nearly £250 for same thing lol

    Shop elsewhere they are robbing sods.
