Everyone wants to find that special acoustic guitar.A guitar which subtly invites you to pick it up andplay as you walk past it, even though you didn’teven mean to stop... A guitar that you only meantto sit down with for five minutes, but you’ve beenplaying for over an hour now and there are a hundred other things you should be doing, but it’ssounding so good...

That special guitar with that combination of looksand sound that makes owning it such a pleasure,and constantly reassures you that, boy, did youmake the right choice when you bought it... Most ofall though, it’s that special guitar that seems tounderstand exactly how to interpret every strummedchord, every arpeggio, every fingerpicked passage,every seemingly meandering chord sequence... Andnot only understand it, but is able to present thesemusical thoughts with a smooth and resonant tone;warm, responsive and totally musical.

But that special guitar will feature premier qualitywoods, traditional craftsmanship and a real understanding of what turns a guitar into that special guitar...it’s going to be expensive, isn’t it?

The range of Vintage acoustics and electro-acousticsoffer exactly the levels of specification, materials,options and playing performance to make sure thatyour special guitar is somewhere in the range.Tone-enhancing, premier quality solid spruce topsfeature as standard on every acoustic and electro-acoustic, alongside superior tonewoods which makeup the back and sides of each individual guitar,whether in a carefully selected laminate, or a solidtonewood such as mahogany or rosewood.
