Vintage V100 Electric Guitar Review by Rikki's Music Shop, Edinburgh

http://www.rikkismusic.com/Vintage-V100-Electric-Guitar
A tribute to the legendary Les Paul guitar, the Vintage V100 electric guitar combines a high level specification and build quality to produce exceptionally impressive tones and screaming lead runs.

No prizes for guessing that the Vintage V100 is modelled on the timeless Les Paul design classic. But don't believe this is just a cheap replica with no substance. On the contrary, this guitar is loaded with features and an irresistible performance to match. The mahogany and maple tonewoods are an ideal recipe for smokey, sultry, bluesy licks with a warm jazzy feel while charging to the other extreme allows the guitar to rage and rampage through high gain amplification like no other.

Vintage V100 Main Features Include:
- Solid mahogany body and neck mated in true "set neck" fashion for maximum tone-enhancing rigidity. An accurately carved gently arched front gives the V100 its distinctive look.
- Rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets offers positive feel. Trapezoid neck inlays help to guide your fingers and enhance the overall appearance producing a classy looking instrument.
- Three way selector switch toggles between Rhythm/Treble. Lay on some gain and you've got a great grungy crunch. Lean it off a little and you have that classic blues rock sound.
- Twin humbucker pickups provide incredible sustain which will not disappoint.
- Tune-O-Matic bridge helps with the sound intonation and maintains strong tuning.
- Four rotary controls allow you to alter the volume and tone. These are paired to control the bridge and neck pickups.
- Available in the following amazing finishes: Flamed Honey Burst, Gloss Black, Cherry Sunburst, Flamed Ice Tea, Tobacco Sunburst, Arctic White, Gold Top and Wine Red.

Are the orders from Rikki's Music Shop only for the UK, or can I order one in the US?

[RikkisMusicShop]

@ContrerasSnake Hi, sorry but we can only send to UK and EU destinations. Hope you manage to find one closer to home. Regards Graeme

@RikkisMusicShop will you guys still have this guitar in store around may time for im planning on purchasing one for my birthday

[RikkisMusicShop]

@GrantMills246 We've currently got the V100 on special offer at a very reasonable £199 (only in Cherry Sunburst, Flamed Ice Tea and Black). After these have gone then we can make a special order but the guitar will be at a higher price. Cheers, Graeme

Just out of curiosity, where are these guitars made?

[RikkisMusicShop]

@LittleEmoBoy001 We wish it were simple ..... Depending on which V100, they are made in South Korea, China, Vietnam, sorry ....

i have a v100 iced tea,not bad for 200 quid but be warned the frets are soft as shite.

chocolate wrapped in tinfoil would probably last longer.

[Tom7953]

I have this guitar, it extreamly good value for money and I would recomend it to anyone, no matter what genre of music you play.

This guitar any good for Sex Pistols Ramones Exploited? Basically is this guitar good for Punk Rock, Hardcore Punk and Horror Punk? Thanks

[sammeister1]

Very nice model indeed! they're currently stocked in several colours by Fox UK Music where I personally tried it out. Absolutely amazed by its sound and overall tone. Recommend looking up the store and ordering through them as they'll guarantee a great deal.

@bigwy100 Epiphones are made in China too you know

[bigwy100]

The V100s are garbage, they use cheap ceramic pickups made in China which sound muddy and cheap whereas Epiphones actually use real alnico Vs which sound much better.

[MaxNathanielJames]

These V100 are better than the Epiphone standards for lower the price.

I'm getting one for christmas, I recommend to anyone!
