What Vintage say:
It’s often been said amongst professional acoustic guitar players, that the grand auditorium is arguably one of the best all around acoustic models. It’s here where Vintage, with the superb VE990 ‘all-mahogany’ Electro-Acoustic guitar, with its divine grand auditorium single cutaway body, excels once again in the world of high quality electro acoustic guitars.
With a slightly wider, deeper variation on the standard auditorium shape, the theme throughout the VE990 is of course mahogany, delivering volume and dynamics in abundance with an excellent balance of the bass and treble frequencies. This popular tonewood’s distinct voice is plentiful with tight, deep warm bass overtones, whilst the slender waist helps tighten the midrange, controls overtones and keeps the accent from being too bottom heavy.With a palm-friendly mahogany neck, smooth fingerboard with dot inlays, this gorgeous electro acoustic almost plays itself, while closed-back chrome machine heads, ensure tuning accuracy and stability.
Electro-acoustic players are also in for a real treat, as this superb acoustic guitar features the same Vintage preamp that’s highly respected in the world of electro acoustic guitars. Controls include volume, bass, middle and treble to enhance the natural timbres without colouring the sound. This unobtrusive preamp also features a phase switch, tuner display and low battery indicator.
This superb electro acoustic guitar is stylish to say the least, offered in a skilfully applied satin finish, highlighting the beautiful deep, reddish brown mahogany grand auditorium body. With the VE990 Electro-Acoustic Guitar, Vintage has elevated the whole grand auditorium concept, within construction, playability and tone, taking an already recognised style of electro acoustic guitar to the next level. Perfect for all styles, including fingerpicking, arpeggio, vibrant percussive strumming and solo note runs, the VE990 does it all.
