[strabbs1]

I went ŵith the epi, great guitar, pickups are slightly muddying at volume guys,check both out first I suggest

[DirtySlapadack]

Just got mine yesterday, walked in from school about to jump into bed and there's this package up against the dresser. Got a knife, swam through the bubble rap, got her out and I've been buzzing since. Awesome guitar.

[timj41]

Never mind guys, I found one, cheers,

[timj41]

is there an AV3P demo anywhere? Thats the semi hollow with 3 xp90's, I am buggered if I can find a demo anywhere

[HolmesIsOnline]

What String gauge and make did you use ?

[vintageshred71]

@HolmesIsOnline they'd be Dunlop 10's

I would like to buy an ES335 type guitar. Now I don't know, which one is better, the Epiphone Dot or the Vintage VSA535. Unfortunatelly I don't have a possibility to make a compare-test. According to Your video, the VSA535 could be a very good instrument!

[Shaguar66]

@vectraguitar i bought it after playing the epiphone dot studio owned by my cousin. i had problems with the pick ups of epiphone guitars and the tuners were not good. But the Vintages VSA535 has become my main stageguitar. after i installed a bigsby i use it alot more than my Gibson SG Standard.

i haven't changed the wilkinson humbuckers cause they sound great. when i have some live videos i will post it.

[vectraguitar]

@Shaguar66 Hi, Thanks for Your opinion. Unfortunatelly I did not have the possibility to try our the Vintage and the Epiphone. Finally I decided to buy the Epi, cause the price was the same here in Hungary. Now I will change the stock pups to Gibson 57 Classics soon. I bought Epi hard case for the guitar. I like this instrument, but do not have lot of experiences, because I have it only for a short time. Thanks for the comment anyway! Cheers:

[Shaguar66]

@vectraguitar hi! i hope you have alot of fun with your epiphone! a hard case is a good decision and the pick ups too. hope you will make a guitar review, where we can see you playing.

enjoy your guitar (semi hollowbodies are simply the best!) and maybe we will read from each other again :)

[vectraguitar]

Hi! Let me tell You, that You are master of the instrument! I like it very much!

I also have a Vintage guitar: I have a VS6 Cherry Red, my Fuzz-Tone FZ-1A video made with that guitar! I like it very much. I bought a Gibson SG standard, and now I don't know, which one will be sold, the Vintage or the Gibson... The neck of the Vintage VS6 is more comforteble, than the Gibson SG...

[guitari666]

you do Freddie and BB proud gav

[vintageshred71]

@guitari666 thanks, but I wouldn't claim to be anywhere near either of them. Unless you meant Freddie Krueger and the BB (Benny and Bjorn) from ABBA....

[MyHeartBeatsRnR]

@vintageshred71 who needs abba?? Im shure he meant BB King:))

[strabbs1]

he looks like the bouncer in my local.

[vintageshred71]

@strabbs1 Don't come in here with those trainers on pal.

[vazon69]

@vintageshred71 Don't you mean "come in here with those tuners on, pal"?

[AlexanderAndTheGreat]

I got one of these on Saturday and I probably wouldnt have given it any attention if I hadnt seen this vid. Recognised it in store, gave it a go and its fantastic. Thanks for enlightening me on Vintage guitars dude :)

[vintageshred71]

Thank you dude, glad I could help :-)

[Athinter]

what is your amp?

[vintageshred71]

That's the Kustom 36 Coupe - 36 watt all valve American built with two 10 inch Eminence speakers

[Baticles]

How does the Kings of Leon stuff sound on it?

[poprostudaniel]

I think different than deep purple. If you buy it it will play Kings Of Leon for you itself :)

[psygodnp]

debating whether to buy this guitar. Will it pull off classic rock ?

[vintageshred71]

Shouldn't be a problem - might not cope with heavier stuff like Maiden, Metallica etc.

[viomartyr]

ordered the VSA555 model just now. can't wait to get it, i might do a review once it's with me.

[jp6l6]

Actually I honestly think Vintage guitars are cheaper but much better than current Epi's

[Bluzer86]

nice guitar I have a Vintage acoustic

[pembo4657]

is this the £200 model dear god help me

[vintageshred71]

Not sure I follow you?

[Shaguar66]

i bought this guitar today and it is just amazing. it looks like a gibson and even feels better than the blue 68 reiusse ES 335 i've played once at a guitar store. thx vintageshred71 for the answering of my questions :).

[vintageshred71]

Happy to help dude, and thanks for buying Vintage® :-)

[jonnygb4]

i have the vintage v100 les paul in cherry sunburst and the tc200 telecaster in blonde but i bought both from GEAR 4 MUSIC and they knoked £99 quid off the Tele and £120 off the les paul. if i was to buy direct from you i would be bancrupt...but i love Vintage guitars they play better than many gibsons i have played. i just dont see why vintage charge soooo much.........PS where are they made?

[vintageshred71]

Hi Dude - Vintage guitars are all made in the far east.

Rgds pricing, as the trade distibuters of Vintage and many other brands WE DON"T SELL TO THE PUBLIC, and I can only quote the recommended retail pricing in my vids and replies, sorry.

[jonnygb4]

I was sure you did sell to the public as my guitar teech bought direct and collected it from the werehouse.

Eitherway- i bought a £85 bigsby b 30 off ebay(mint condition) as i was going to put it on a jaguar copy i am making. anywhoo i decided to put in on the v100 les paul and it looks the tits its a goldplated bigsby against cherry sunbirst. the only thing i need to doo now is buy gold hardware!. ps tell Trev to make a jaguar copy i lov em and you should deffo put a bigsby on the les paul

[vintageshred71]

Your teacher must have got a Keyplayer deal.

Yeah those vibratos look cool - unfortunately they are pants at keeping in tune.

[jonnygb4]

the double roller ones are yes but the single roller models have better staying power...the tone they create is phernominal..i will put it on youtube and i will let you know then i do.

Thanks

[mistersnaredrum]

and i called you the wrong name. i'm a GENIUS!

sorry gav... :o)

[vintageshred71]

LOL Hi Mistersnaredrum - the Iced Tea V100 and the VSA590 should be available in all good stores now. Can't tell you a specific store I'm afraid, but if you contact JHS they will give you a couple of local dealers to try.

Whats a Casino? ;-)

[jonnygb4]

its a type of epiphone semi acoustic

[vintageshred71]

Oh, I thought it was one of those places in Las Vegas ;-)

[tetofthenineteen]

think i got my V100IT from andertons but dont hold me to that.

PS they look much better in person than the pictures on the JHS website

[mistersnaredrum]

hi Gaz, are the iced tea v100 and the vsa590 coughcasinocough out yet? any idea where i can get them?

[vintageshred71]

Hi Millbanger, thanks for watching.

I'm not going to diss anybody else's gear. All I will say is, if you want a guitar that has a name on the headstock, then by all means buy that guitar. However, if you want a guitar that has the best possible spec at the best possible price, then try this one.

[Shaguar66]

great guitar and great playing. i think about bying it and install a bigsby or a trapez tailpiece. i know you are not going to diss other brands but as a expert please tell me: do the vintage VSA 535 feel like the Gibson or is a big difference in sound and handling? greetings

[vintageshred71]

Hi Shaguar66, thanks for your kind comments. To me in terms of actual feel and playability I doubt anyone could tell any real difference. Soundwise, the Wilkinson pickup has been vintage voiced, and is a superb warm 'bucker....but even if you were to replace this with another pickup, you will still save hundreds of pounds!

[Shaguar66]

tanks for your help man. i think i will buy it in a few weeks :).

[millbanger]

man how do u rate these compared to the epiphone dot ?

i cant decide which one to buy
