Vintage VSA500

VSA500 Semi-acoustic

VSA500 has a Maple body with Maple top with a Mahogany neck. Maple body with maple top provides resonance, tone and ‘correct weight’ comfort.

VSA500 features Vintage's unique, offset double cutaway evolutionary body shape, ingeniously-designed offset heel and enhanced treble side cutaway to improve upper fret access and playability.

VSA500 comes in a variety of colours, and finishes. From Bluesters and Big Banders to Bubblegum and Britpoppers, the sonorous voice of the semi acoustic has endeared itself to players of varying styles throughout the history of the electrified guitar. Sporting two WOCHB double coil pickups, the VSA500 is equally adept when comping smooth jazz accompaniments as it is singing out single note blues lines, while its chambered body carries the sound of strummed chords all the way to the back row and beyond.

VSA500P models use Twin MW90 pickups in Natural Maple or Vintage Sunburst finishes. Fitted with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and trapeze tailpiece, a pair of Wilkinson® MW90 pickups deliver warm, sparkly, single coil characteristics played clean, or play dirty for that unmistakable punchy, mid-range, overdriven single coil bite with the snarl of a humbucker

VSA500-12 is the amazing 12 string version of the VSA500 and comes in 2 colours. The 12 string VSA500 is fitted with a pair of Wilkinson® WOCHB hum cancelling pickups delivering exceptional clarity and versatility whilst capturing the natural, melodic 12 string chime, coupled with an airy woodiness from the hollow, maple body construction.  As most guitar players will be aware, one of the original ideas behind semi-hollow guitars was to deliver the acoustic properties of archtop guitars at louder volumes with reduced feedback, this is where all models in the Vintage VSA500 Series shine. 

The VSA500™ is an original Vintage® ReIssued Series guitar, designed and created by Trev Wilkinson and the UK Vintage design team
