Players’ guitars designed for guitar players.

The 2013 Vintage Electrics brochure is chock full of all the oldfavourites, plus a host of new models.

Vintage instruments continue to evolve, with new models,finishes, features and innovation.

Trev Wilkinson, one of the world’s foremost experts in guitarand guitar hardware design, is the creative maestro behind theblueprint and specifications of each guitar in the Vintage electricrange.

Your choice of new guitar or bass is the result of Trev’soutstanding knowledge and worldwide reputation.

With a genuine love for guitars and everything that goes withthem, Trev’s enthusiasm is infectious, and his knowledge of theguitar genre is almost boundless.

With a lifetime of interest in why the best guitars are how theyare, what works and what doesn’t, and what can be done aboutit, Trev’s spent decades asking direct and forthright questions ofthe people who matter. He's worked with the industry legendsresponsible for some of the best guitars and pickups ever made,and artists who’ve played the best guitars ever made.

An innovator since 1981, solutions and cool design are thehallmarks of every Trev Wilkinson project.

The 2013 Vintage Electric brochure demonstrates exactly howmuch effort Vintage and Trev have been putting into their guitarrange, the result of which is a collection of fantastic guitars andbasses, with truly incredible levels of specification, attention todetail and, dare we say it; value.

With guitars and basses inspired by ‘classic’ silhouettes from ourshared guitar history, and unique designs, Vintage instrumentsare enjoyed and endorsed by a host of leading professionalplayers, who choose Vintage because they understand thewhole ethos of the Vintage brand.

The pros understand that Vintage performs, that it delivers –with gusto, which guarantees that if you’re a younger playerfollowing your dream you can really make your mark and you’llnever outgrow your Vintage.

Many major pro players are now using Vintage guitars as theirmain instrument, in some instances even adopting a Vintageguitar as their signature model. Surely there can be no higherpersonal recommendation of a guitar’s abilities?

Players like Graham Oliver, with his two Vintage Signaturemodels, are a perfect example. With more than 10 millionrecords sold in his role as founding member of rock gods Saxon,Graham's as well-known across the globe as much for histrademark crushing riffs as he is for his iconic double cutawayand classic 'V' double humbucker axes. Graham spent hourswith Trev in the Vintage workshops recreating totally authentic

signature guitars to pay tribute to the instruments he used towrite classics like Wheels Of Steel and Princess Of The Night.

Graham says: “These two guitars look good, play amazingly andsound fantastic! But the best thing is that, unlike othersignature guitars, they’re totally affordable for everyone.”

Other players in the Vintage roster include German virtuosoThomas Blug, Mick Abrahams, Big Country's Tony Butler,founding Saxon bassist Steve Dawson, Bernie Tormé, Dave'Bucket' Colwell, John Parr, Midge Ure, the Quireboys' PaulGuerin – and many, many more.

The Vintage ICON series of pre-distressed instruments hit thespot too. They so feel special to play and exude a totally cool,ready-aged vibe, with built-in character shining through anauthentic aged finish. With distressed Wilkinson hardware andvintage tone pickups, ICON series shouts ‘this guitar’s beenplaces, ground through the mill, done some stuff, paid its dues’!

With the patina of playing in countless rehearsal sessions,gigging in hundreds of smoky bars and clubs, working inendless recording sessions and touring at home and abroad,Vintage ICON means you don’t have to remortgage your houseor wait a lifetime to own a classic.

Of course, if new and bright 'n' shiny is your thing, we do thattoo, in spades. The Vintage ReIssued range is a terrificcollection of guitars and basses in all styles, with incrediblespecification and playability.

ReIssued and ICON demonstrate what can be achieved whenthe satisfaction of the player is put above mere commercialconcerns.

How does Vintage manage to offer such incredible instrumentsat the kind of prices that literally anyone can afford?

The magic is in using knowledge for good, and doing it right.Because that's the right thing to do, because guitarists, youngand old, new and hard-bitten, deserve the best – withoutcompromise!

At Vintage, we’ve proven that with care, and a stated intent toprove a point, we can bring all these elements together to makethe end result much more than just the sum of the parts.

What really makes the difference is NOT just to build down to aprice, but instead designing in quality, building up to andachieving an aspiration to excel.

Then, with care, consistency, attention to detail, precision andrigorous levels of quality control, it’s possible to build greatguitars to sell at a price that won’t break anyone’s bank.

Whatever your guitar or bass needs, there’s a Vintageinstrument that suits you.

Players’ guitars designed for guitar players. It’s that simple.

VintageTHOMASBLUGSignature

Over recent years, guitar enthusiasts have admired the virtuosic electricguitar style of Thomas Blug, one of Europe’s most respected players. Inaddition, Thomas’ work as a product development consultant and productdemonstrator for Hughes & Kettner guitar amplification means he is aregular must-see feature at music expos and shows worldwide, alongsidehis own sought-after CD releases and tuition DVDs, as well asperformances with the Thomas Blug Band which includes keyboardistThis Van Leer, erstwhile mainstay of Dutch rock legends, Focus.

Thomas has one of the most recognisable guitar sounds in the world,playing with a fluid, melodic and powerful style, and has over the yearsbecome synonymous with his much-loved and instantly recognisableelectric guitar, a well-used faded Olympic White ‘61.

As a player who has been the inspiration to thousands of players,Thomas chose Trev Wilkinson, and UK guitar brand Vintage, to prove thepoint that it is possible to create in a signature guitar an instrument

“I wanted a guitar that looks cool – like Hendrix's, but with all the features of my signature Vintage Icon V6 guitar,”Thomas says. “And it had to play like all the guitars I usually play: pickups in the same position and not a reversed body.” True to Thomas's requests, the V6MRHDX features the same top quality specs as his treasured '61 and his original Vintage V6 signature, but comes with a reversed headstock and hand-applied graphics created by German artist Daniel Hahn especially for the Summer Of Love.

which faithfully recreates the unique attributes of his beloved ‘61.

With its battle-scarred body, custom electronics and personalisedswitching all added to the already exceptionally well-specced VintageICON Series V6 guitar, players looking for an edge with this iconicdesign, and who also perhaps aspire to emulate Thomas’ spine-tinglingsound, can now buy exactly the same instrument which he uses in hisday-to-day work.

‘Outstanding’, comments Thomas on his Vintage SIGNATURE V6 guitar. “To achieve all this, in an instrument which literally anyone canafford, even a first time buyer, is an unbelievable result.”

“Classic vintage feel,awesome authentic tone

and a cool vibe.”

“...this Vintage V6 Icon guitar looks gloriously f**ked.What we weren’t expecting was the sheer quality thatlurked underneath those finishes.”Total Guitar magazine

Nothing gives off that unique, so-cool vibe like a guitar that’s obviously seen some serious use. Like a battle-scarred warriorthat always gives its best, the instrument’s character shinesthrough the worn finish, saying ‘this guitar has paid its dues’. Its sound has the heart and soul of a thousand gigs in it andyou can feel it when you play it. It feels special to hold, andspecial to play.

But how many people can afford the vintage instrument of theirdreams? That special instrument which displays a unique levelof wear from decades of playing – at home, numerous rehearsalsessions, smoky pubs to working mens’ clubs, gigs and tours athome and abroad? Or how many guitarists can wait 20 yearsbefore their own guitar starts to show that kind of time-relatedcharacter?

Over the last 30-odd years they've also been admired by guys like RandyRhoads, Michael and Rudolf Schenker, K.K. Downing andDimebag Darrell, to name but a few.

They not only have to play good, but look good too, andwhen my Vintage signatures came and I played 'em I couldn'tbelieve I was not playing my originals!

Wilkinson WTB BridgeThis classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 yearsand is still regarded as the ultimate tone machine. Staggeredbrass saddles offer individual string intonation never beforeavailable in a design of this type, still widely regarded as the tonemachine. The baseplate itself is a faithful reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important in a bridge of this styledue to the tonal effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickupmounted in it.

In terms of looks and attitude, few guitars can match the outand out appeal of the Vintage V100.

From the rocking zebra humbuckers and pure swagger of theV100AFD Paradise through to the ICON Lemon Drop's battle-scarred body and wonderfully out of phase tones, there'ssomething here for every taste and style of musician.

Offering an extraordinarily high level of specification, the buildquality and constructional detail of the Vintage V100 includes a

solid mahogany body and neck mated in true ‘set neck’ fashionfor maximum tone-enhancing rigidity. An accurately-carved,gently arched body top adds to the V100’s distinctive look. Themahogany and maple tonewoods are the ideal recipe for thekind of sounds that this style of guitar is renowned for – smoky,sultry, sweet-toned bluesy licks with a warm jazzy feel from theneck pickup help soothe the soul with an emotional calm. Charging to the other extreme with a flick of the 3-way selectorswitch allows the back pickup to rage and rampage throughhigh gain amplification like no other.

The Vintage V100 is a perfect example of Trev Wilkinson’sfascination with tone. While working in California, Trev’sdevelopment work in the guitar industry led him to a meetingwith the father of the humbucking pickup, Seth Lover.

Recognising a kindred enquiring and inventive guitar spirit, SethLover imparted to Trev the exact specification of the legendarypickup units he designed, and that same authentic vintagevoiced recipe is what Trev uses in the V100’s humbuckers toensure you can get that elusive, iconic tone.

The V100’s rock solid chassis allows for positive string anchoringand location with the precision-manufactured Tune-O-Maticbridge and stop bar tailpiece. On the elegantly-shapedheadstock, a set of three-a-side Wilkinson WJ44 tuners offersboth the precise tuning feel and accuracy you’d expect fromthis type of guitar and – of course – the correct look.

Check out the range of classic finishes available on the V100and we’re sure you’ll agree that this is an irresistible package of attitude, power and tone!

Chrome Wilkinson hardwarecompletes the look, and the awesome split-coilWilkinson pickup adds the thunderous, powerfulsounds that give more low-end rumble than amountain lion in a pickup truck.

Tony says: “When I was first invited to try a VintageV4, I was taken by its expensive look and feel. Todiscover its extremely reasonable price was a bonus.For a new bass player to own a quality instrumentfrom the word go is inspiring. After trying it out duringa rehearsal for the last Big Country tour, I quicklydecided it would tour with me. To have a signaturemodel to my live bass spec is an honour!”
