This lucky chap was treated to a new acoustic guitar by his dad. Having trawled the market for a suitably sized, highly playable, quality instrument he settled on the Vintage V300 sunburst model. This was voted by Guitar magazine as the best guitar under £1000 - a big claim and you'd have to test one out yourself to see whether you agree. The specifications for the money are very good and the guitar performs extremely well and we are sure that this young man will have years of playing pleasure.
His dad has another brand of guitar that cost a lot more money; he says that this Vintage sounds and plays much better. As can be expected, this size of guitar has a very bright sound but there is plenty of depth to it too. The neck is good; nice action and it works well with a plectrum and for finger picking. We believe it is great value for anyone wanting a decent acoustic guitar without spending the earth.
