Vintage VSA590 - Semi Acoustic (Sunburst)

Big semi-acoustics exude a certain class, don’t they? They’re certainly versatile guitars, with a connection right back to jazz guitars, though the slim-body versions offer a truly resonant and gutsy sound with a sweet-toned acoustic tonality in there too.

The brand new Vintage VSA590 offers the best of both worlds, without a doubt - offering the drop dead good looks of those era-defining 1960’s hollowbody guitars, the VSA590 is actually a semi thanks to the central section of wood running along the middle of the body, which really anchors down those gorgeous twin ‘dog ear’ alnico-powered P90-style pickups, with their highly polished nickel-silver metal covers, matching the nickel plated hardware used throughout on this guitar.

True to the constructional traditional of this style of big semi, the VSA’s carefully arched front and back body is made from a 5-layer ply of maple and birch, with maple used as the top wood. The slim, 22 fret neck design is of mahogany with a smooth rosewood board and is rigidly set into the big body for maximum strength and stability, and just check out that vibrant 60’s style sunburst... Fab authentic trapeze tailpiece arrangement too, and the traditional four-rotary control grouping - two volume, two tone, with a 3-way pickup selector.
