The only other wood we can see, the fingerboard, is actually something called Lignum Rosa, a name created by experienced guitar designer Alan Entwistle (the man behind the Revelation brand) for this multi-layered wood construct, which is ‘quarter-sawn’ so the layers create a grain that’s at a right-angle to the face. It actually looks like a rosewood, although the fingerboard here is much darker in colour than the V100’s. Mahogany body provides resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort. The Vintage V120 features a unique, evolutionary body shape, with a graceful descending bass side shoulder and an ingeniously-designed offset heel providing improved access to the upper reaches of the fretboard. One piece Mahogany with classic Vintage ‘soft C’ profile for instant comfort, speed, accuracy and great feel.

These are rather difficult guitars to evaluate. First off, they feel in a completely different league to any new Vintage guitar we’ve ever played and reinforce how a lower-end guitar, properly set up and revoiced, can really perform at a much higher level than its original price would suggest. Wilkinson GTBCR compensating bridge provides superb intonation all over the fretboard in a fixed bridge. My live help facility isn't just for people who want to buy guitars but also people who have bought guitars. I am here for anyone who needs the help, most hours of the day, most days. I always say "If I am in, its on". Thats the general rule.

Whether you're searching for your first guitar or your last, every member of the Vintage ReIssued Series is a keeper. Play on.

If you have bought a guitar before you will know all too well that not every guitar feels or plays the same. You may also know that due to the nature of the major component of the guitar (wood) that they can feel great one moment and awful the next (say for example after traveling half way around the globe on a boat - from some factory in the far east to the UK!)
