I've always loved the old japanese "extra" that they used years ago. The switches, the pickups all had a "we're trying too hard" look that i actually love. Im glad someone is applying that vibe to some newer guitars.
That Colt HH Hardtail would be perfect with a blade switch! I might be tempted to order a custom pickguard, provided the nut is not wider than 42mm. The other Vintage REVO that caught my eye is the Integra; I wish Vintage Guitars would publish the bloody nut widths!
I love that vintage are bringing something new (old?) to the market, alongside their very capable takes on the “classic” T, S , LP and SG designs. I have 5 Vintage guitars and they are all great. Perfect mod platforms too
Oo Er Mrs! 30 seconds in and Thin Lizzy on the most awesome looking guitar I've seen in a while! Vintage is a brand I love too. The prices will be spot on too.
Yes he has been involved with lots of different companies. Burns, Revelation, Tanglewood etc. I have a Tanglewood 335 a-like with Entwistle humbuckers which I prefer to the PAFs in my Gibson. I kid you not!
Hi Andy - can I just say I love the way you pretty much always post positive "feel good" thumbnails for your videos! The absolute opposite of the angst-ridden click-bait that's become all too common on some major channels. I don't always agree with you, but I always respect your take on things. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you. My channel is based on honesty, positivity and authenticity. It’s the only way I know. I could get more clicks by being different but I’d hate my life. I really thank you for saying that you don’t always agree with me but you respect me. It’s rare to get such an intelligent comment and I really appreciate it
@@TheGuitarGeek Cheers Andy! "I'd hate my life" sums it all up. I built a reputation as an on-line reviewer of scale model kits - and then I hit a point where there wasn't anything new I could write anymore. I really admire the way you've found a balance that works. More power to your playing! 😎
Ok so Quad obviously has caught my eye and it looks awesome in black or white. Massively tempted by one, I sense a trip to Birmingham in my near future.
Under 800 bucks for that Surfmaster Quad? Pretty sure I know what I’m getting ready to trade some stuff in for. It looks like it has everything I wanted to try it one spot T
I have a Vintage Av6. Its a wonderful guitar. The fret ends were not upto modern standards but its a really good strat. The first V100 was a fabulous but heavy LP copy. I hope they do well,but its a very crowded market.
Very crowded indeed Peter. I’ve had a few of their guitars over the years and they were always impressive and even more so if you put some work into them. I really like these alternative designs
I love their designs, just wish the QC was a bit more consistent. I have what's basically their Hendrix tribute model S type (I forget the model name) and setup and fretwork was pretty solid. I bought a V65 (their Jazzmaster type) recently and several frets were rough with a few sharp ends
They should change the name to Cheese Log. It's what they are. A certain '70s Japanese charm, but without the history. A couple of them can give you a headache if you look at them too long.
'unique' resonating spring chamber.. Yes, that'll be early 1970s Hayman guitars... Entwistle is a guitar historian who deserves credit and respect for his dedication to resurrecting bold ideas and designs of the past, and making them affordable. It's a shame the quality control of the factories he's using let him down. Latest Burns reissues have terrible fret work. He should have headed the Shergold revival, to give fans of those quirky vintage guitars what they really wanted.
In the early 80s I owned a Hayman Modular. I didn't know its rarity, and part-exed it against an Ibanez Roadstar, because I wanted a trem. It gets worse: I decided I didn't really like the trem, so I tightened it down and used it as a hardtail, like the Hayman. If I'd kept that guitar, I could retire now! Well not quite, but they're extremely rare and worth quite a bit.
@@TheGuitarGeek At the very least, recent Burns imports equipped with Entwisle pickups, If he was involved beyond that I can't remember right now. But we shouldn't' be too surprised if he was ???. I'm also fairly certain he was behind the affordable Alden retro guitars of a decade or so ago. One was definitely a cheeky Burns inspired design.
@@TheGuitarGeek I think Patrick Eggle is involved in the "New Shergold" guitars. My niece's husband works for a branch of the same company, in Oswestry.
That Brian May type one, is one of the nicest looking guitars I've ever seen.
I've always loved the old japanese "extra" that they used years ago. The switches, the pickups all had a "we're trying too hard" look that i actually love. Im glad someone is applying that vibe to some newer guitars.
The Quad was something extra.
i agree! I wish i'd had more time with it.
That Colt HH Hardtail would be perfect with a blade switch! I might be tempted to order a custom pickguard, provided the nut is not wider than 42mm. The other Vintage REVO that caught my eye is the Integra; I wish Vintage Guitars would publish the bloody nut widths!
Ooh! I love VIntage! I now have two new guitars on my list!

I'm really hyped for these hardtail Mustangs.
Alan Entwistle did some great stuff for Hohner in the 90s
REALLLY? I had no idea that was him
Yes he has been involved with lots of different companies. Burns, Revelation, Tanglewood etc. I have a Tanglewood 335 a-like with Entwistle humbuckers which I prefer to the PAFs in my Gibson. I kid you not!
Ofc you need and deserve one or two of theese guitars Andy. 😊
I do! hahaha Thank you

Reminds me of the old Teisco guitars.
Mmm that colt looks kewl!!!
These look and sound great.
I love the the Brian may looking guitar sounds great
I think so too!
Some very cool guitars!!!
deffo!
I just know that Ryan from 60 Cycle Hum has serious wood for the Quad..
Familiar but different - I like them! 🎸
They are!
Cool. Rick used to live down the street from me in TN.
I really enjoyed talking to Rick. Lovely bloke.
Under 800 bucks for that Surfmaster Quad?
Pretty sure I know what I’m getting ready to trade some stuff in for.
It looks like it has everything I wanted to try it one spot T
I strongly recommend the Vintage 335 version. VSA 500 CR .
Dang! Y’all didn’t grab that triple pickup tele/jag!
I have a Vintage Av6. Its a wonderful guitar. The fret ends were not upto modern standards but its a really good strat. The first V100 was a fabulous but heavy LP copy. I hope they do well,but its a very crowded market.

@AndyGuitarGeek Definitely the time of the offset. I still think that the Gretsch Electromatics are the kings of the 550-800 euro price point.

They make the Thomas Blug guitar, I’ve wanted one of those for awhile!
They should change the name to Cheese Log. It's what they are. A certain '70s Japanese charm, but without the history. A couple of them can give you a headache if you look at them too long.
I have an actual Brian may guitar and I still want one of these!
Wouldn't mind a colt either.
Guitars sound awesome! Thankyou! Are they available to buy now?
They are! link in the video description
@@TheGuitarGeek Awesome Thankyou!
WHat's that tele type one with the p90's looks cool too?
What amp were you using? They all sounded fantastic. Great playing
Thanks, it is the ToneX from Ik Multimedia
Does the Revi Series Vision come in red?
You Could buy 2 for the Price of 1 NEW EPIPHONE !
At least 2 😂
Not after this video lol
Wait a second these are **new** guitars damn
yes, new guitars from Vintage Guitars@@xdendordx
❤💥

interesting but i don't think Alan was involved in the latest Burns releases since they got bought out.

It gets worse: I decided I didn't really like the trem, so I tightened it down and used it as a hardtail, like the Hayman. If I'd kept that guitar, I could retire now!

Does that spring resonating chamber function any differently than the tremolo springs would in a strat?

Too bad the 12 string didn't get a spin.
yeah... I wasn't going to attempt tuning that at a trade show... hahahaha
Once I hear someone use the word, iconic obligatorily, I know I’m dealing with a cheese ball
Once I read the word cheese ball I know I am dealing with a connoisseur
@@TheGuitarGeekhaha perfect!!! Great video thanks!
What a bunch of ripoffs! Or alternatively, what a fun bunch of alternate reality alternatives.
I love the feel of my Brian May guitar but let it be said, It's the most uncomfortable guitar to play sitting down.
