Vintage used to be cheap "no brand" guitars you would get in local music shops, but they're coming out with some really good stuff recently. Especially with the higher end parts.
I have Alan Entwistle designed Nemesis AFG's on my Hamer XT, which makes me look at anything Alan Entwistle is associated with as something to listen to. The Surfmaster is a great guitar!
I have been a big fan of Alan Entwistle since fitting a pair of HV58 pups to my old Epiphone Les Paul. I had been imagining my perfect Les Paul sound and it was right there soon as I plugged in after the swap. I have been obsessing lately how to get that great gretsch sound without spending 'vintage correct' Gretch dollar... Turns out Alan's got my back again..!! Thanks for such a fantastic demo. Nice 👌
Really interesting and versatile guitar. I like that Vintage are branching out more into their own designs. But what I really came here to comment on is how good your playing is, slipping easily between styles. Nice.
Great review and with a nice, not too dark tone. Could you also do the model with the 4 pickups? I wonder how they sound, if they are true single coils, etc.
