Vintage VSA500 ReIssued 12-String Semi Acoustic Guitar ~ Cherry Red

Vintage® guitars are designed in the UK and built to exacting standards using only the best quality hardware, pickups and tone woods.

The Vintage design team’s relentless quest for innovation, authentic tone, outstanding playability and great looking instruments delivers true working musicians tool’s. Vintage instruments are the first choice for everyone from the first time player, all the way to the seasoned pro.

The 12 string VSA500 is fitted with a pair of Wilkinson® WOCHB hum cancelling pickups delivering exceptional clarity and versatility whilst capturing the natural, melodic 12 string chime, coupled with an airy woodiness from the hollow, maple body construction.

As most guitar players will be aware, one of the original ideas behind semi-hollow guitars was to deliver the acoustic properties of archtop guitars at louder volumes with reduced feedback, this is where all models in the Vintage VSA500 Series shine.
