I own one in Tobacco Colour , they sound amazing, those Wilkinson Double Coils Trevor Wilkinson worked with Seth Lover PAF founder, one of the many great things about the V100 you don't need any upgrades, it plays great out of the box, but I will mention its great to see reviews, the other You Tube folks rather plug other brands, to me this one the best LP under a grand ,
I recently got a steal on a second hand V100 reissue, paid £200 for a honeyburst with a Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and legit Grover rotomatic tuners. I was suspicious it was gonna have something wrong with it but arrived and plays and sounds incredible. My advice to anyone looking for a cheap LP alternative is to go with a second hand Vintage V100 (or a new one!) the value for money is unbelievable and in my experience Vintage is far superior to Epiphone LP's (I've had 2 epi's and they were more expensive than my V100 and had way more issues, plus stock pickups on epiphones sound muddy as hell)
JHS/VINTAGE brand is like Aldi's, they take awesome stuff, replicate it to perfection and do it for a hell of a lot cheaper! What they do for the money is incredible and ive not found a brand that can compete with them in the £300-£400 price bracket. Wilkinson hardware and pickups are flawless. I have a V100 and a V6(strat) they sound epic and hold tune forever. Im currently saving for the V52(tele) in butterscotch having recently played one at my local store, the bridge pup is a beast of a single coil, should try one out if you havent!!
Yes! Got mine on the way from REVERB/CAPITOL GUITARS and $500 in upgrades that include new wire&pots with SD whole lotta humbucker pickups. Awesome!!!!!!!!!
This is the best review i've seen for this guitar, great quality video and you seem like a nice dude :) subscribed so i can watch more of your content. Cheers from Chile!
When all the hype over Harley Benton and Sire etc subsides Vintage will still be plodding away making fantastic guitars for not a lot of money. I just got a v100 tobacco burst. It's 10 or 11 years old and looks, sounds, and plays like a proper grown up guitar. There's plenty of nice cheapish guitars around from ibanez, ltd, epiphone, and squier but my v100 feels like a gibbo for 10th the price. I also have a Vintage Tele that's prob 20 years old (mine for 16 years) that is no great looker but is sounds, plays, fantastic. Action and tuning stability is awesome. Look no further kiddies!😁😁😁
Does it look nice? You bet! That's gorgeous! Does it sound nice? Definitely! Sounds great! What a great guitar. Can't go wrong with a white LP haha. The best guitar in the world, the Gibson LP bumped down another notch? 😉😂 Great vid mate
These Vintage Guitars are marvellous. I hope Vintage are aware that rumours are about that their very high quality is now not so good. Please Vintage, keep up your standards. Also there are other nasty rumours about JHS ( the parent company) dumping them. Vintage Guitars is the best thing that ever happened to guitars for the people , electric or acoustic . Professional standard , amateur prices .
I've got a v100 I brought second hand, I don't know if it had work done but it was set up beautifully, shaped out the pickups for irongear and locking tuners but the neck never moves the action is low, I really want a custom style now
I got this guitar for £239 brand new on amazon 4 years back, now they have doubled in price, which is disappointing, as I wanted to buy the paradise version.... My only problem was that these guitars are heavy, and the fret access on the higher notes is difficult, mostly due to the Les Paul design.
Great looking guitar , I've been hanging my nose over the AFD version for a while , I think the first thing I'd do on that one would be to take the finish off the back of the neck and maybe smooth the transition shape a bit but other than that it's great
White Les Pauls always look great, and so does this one! There are too many nice guitars around at the moment! Would be good to see and hear a comparison with a Gibson, not sure if you could oblige?? Also, pardon my ignorance but what is the 'reissue' in it's name referring to?
Hi. Vintage do two series. The 'reissue' and the 'icon'. The reissue often gives a nod and a wink to familiar looking guitars from the past. Ones that often you may have seen your (or wilkinsons) guitar heroes playing. Or perhaps like their tele style V62 etc. Designed to look and sound like a 62 tele. I guess 'reissue' is a nicer word than 'copy'... Their icon series see models along the same line, but given that 'roadworn' look....and usually at no extra cost... or very little. Hope that helps.
Vintage Guitars are fantastic! I can say that after owning 6 of them now.
6! Which six?
2 V100s 25th anniversary models....2 V1OOAFD Models.... 1 V100 Artic white US Pro shop model...1 V6HSVB 25th anniversary model.
Would you recommend the vs63 the one with 3 humbuckers
I am big fun of Ibanez and recently I bought Vintage V100. It is an amazing guitar for its price range, with good mechanic and lovely voice.

Great video. I have two vintage brand guitars and I use them all the time.

Thanks mate and hello Chile. Bit of a shame I have to give it back. It looks so good!

Great review - and I love your style and prowess playing it!
Just bought the Vintage V100 reissue Peter Green lemon drop, fantastic guitar 🎸 love it, its a keeper!
Same thing on my v100M perfect. Pickups are heaven .

Just picked up one second hand, near mint , well chuffed !
Can you tell to us about hardware gold? Do they fade, lose their colors along the time? Nice video :)
Thanks for the wee review. Maybe a bit less reverb next time?
Beaudifull ordered 1 for sunday night
Love your playing sounds tremendous 😑👌
White is beautiful...Amazing playing by the way.,,( Subscribed )
It's sounds great for the price quite a lot of guitar. 👍
Dude very nice playing
How does the fretboard feel I’ve had a Peter green one on my wishlist for years but the fretboards always look a laminated to me?
I've got a v100 I brought second hand, I don't know if it had work done but it was set up beautifully, shaped out the pickups for irongear and locking tuners but the neck never moves the action is low, I really want a custom style now
I own 5 Vintages for a reason
Awsome guitars

I love the weight. Stops them feeling like toys. I'm no youth either!
Great looking guitar , I've been hanging my nose over the AFD version for a while , I think the first thing I'd do on that one would be to take the finish off the back of the neck and maybe smooth the transition shape a bit but other than that it's great
I’m torn between this and the Peter green lemon drop distressed model.. which would you go for if you had to choose? Great video and very informative.
Probably the lemon drop because the pickups are amazing
Are the pickups alnico or ceramic on the v100s?
Alnico v
I think maybe because they sent it you to advertise the gave it a setup before sending it out.
how much it weight?
Plenty! It feels like real thing and not a budget copy.
Sounds great. I'm interested in V100 or Epiphone les paul.
We did a shootout on that recently. They’re similar
Get the Vintage. Lot less money. Winding back...try them both and buy the one you like best!!
Is this one made in China or Vietnam?
I was looking at getting one of them or Harley Benton sc-custom ii vintage. Or sire l7 if can get more funds
I did the same but got a 10yo v100. Super pleased with it!

@@tomdimple Brilliant! Thank you GC!
I wish Mr Phero Tone would have weighed it. Every Vintage I tried weighed more than its Epiphone 'counterpart'.
Payed more for an ornament !
I think that a proper review for a guitar can be made only after a few years of heavy usage .
A bit Vince Noir @1:16
Argh! Tune your guitar.
