Vintage VGA900SB Sunburst electro-acoustic steel-string guitar
Product no: 9000-0020-1732 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

In addition to the natural model, the Vintage VGA900SB is also available in this Sunburst version. The guitar has the Grand Auditorium shape of a well-known American brand. In this case its body is large and rounded with a slim waist and an elegant Venetian cutaway. The VGA900SB is comfortable to play whether you're sitting or standing. Its body and sides are made of laminated mahogany with a solid spruce top. A beautiful abalone rosette and tortoise pickguard complete the picture.

Vintage VGA900SB: Fishman Isys+ preamp

Thanks to the combination of wood types used, the Vintage VGA900SB has a full and rich sound with an excellent balance between warmth and clarity. These properties are retained even when amplified. That's thanks to a Fishman Isys+ preamp and a Sonicore piezo pickup. Whether you're in the recording studio or on the stage, the VGA900SB is there for you. The preamp with controls for volume, bass and treble, a phase button for controlling feedback and a built in tuner can all be found on the side of the guitar.

The Vintage brand

Vintage Guitars started out as a budget brand that didn't gain the best reputation. However, that changed drastically when Trevor Wilkinson, famed for his affordable yet high-quality guitar parts, attached his name to the Vintage brand. Not only did Vintage's hardware division receive a shot of quality, but the wood selection and construction methods were also greatly improved. Since then, Vintage has made a name for itself by offering excellent value for money, and now more than holds its own among the ferocious competition in this price range.
