20 May 09 - 07:09 PM (#2637039) Subject: RE: Vintage Guitars-Any comments? From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker ..if you mean "Vintage" brand guitars by JHS; then there is a consensus of opinion that they can be very reasonable quality, excellent value for money instruments. As good as, or even better than, some overpriced 'name' brands. I own several of their different models of solid body electrics, and will continue to collect/use even more, as often as I can find them at bargain 2nd hand or 'B' stock prices. Consequently, I'm willing to overlook any occasional minor finish flaws or dodgy wiring/screening. ..also, the bodies and necks offer excellent potential for modding and customising.. |

A very big sound, lovely full tone and I was impressed. He'd recently bought it and asked me to guess how much he'd paid....I guessed £350 but I was wrong by a factor of nearly three....at around £120 it's an absolute steal. The shop even put on a new set of Elixir strings.... |
