Vintage VE990 Electro Acoustic, Mahogany Overview
With a slightly wider and deeper variation to the standard auditorium shape, the VE990 is constructed of Mahogany throughout, giving an abundance of volume and dynamics, with an excellent balance of the bass and treble frequencies.
The Mahogany voice is plentiful, with tight, deep warm bass overtones, and a tighter midrange due to the slender waist, which also helps controls overtones and prevents the tone from being too bottom heavy. A superb Mahogany neck, and smooth fingerboard with dot inlays, add to the excellent comfort and playability, while closed-back machine heads, ensure constant tuning accuracy and stability.

Volume, bass, middle and treble controls enhance the natural timbres without colouring the sound, ensuring that the inherent tone is faithfully reproduced when the guitar is amplified, and can easily be delivered to external sources such as a mixing desk, amps, monitors or PA systems.
FeaturesPerfect for all styles, including fingerpicking, arpeggio, vibrant percussive strumming and solo note runs, the VE990 does it all.
