Vintage VGA990 Acoustic, Natural Overview
With a slightly wider and deeper variation to the standard auditorium shape, the VGA990 gives an abundance of volume and dynamics, with an excellent balance of the bass and treble frequencies.
The classic, solid Spruce top/Mahogany body voice is plentiful, with tight, deep warm bass overtones, and a tighter midrange due to the slender waist, which also helps controls overtones and prevents the tone from being too bottom heavy. A superb Mahogany neck, and smooth fingerboard with dot inlays, add to the excellent comfort and playability, while closed-back machine heads, ensure constant tuning accuracy and stability.
An excellent acoustic tone and timbre is standard issue with this guitar, however, electro-acoustic players will not be disappointed as this superb acoustic guitar features the same Vintage preamp that’s highly respected in the world of electro acoustic guitars. Volume, bass, middle and treble controls enhance the natural timbres without colouring the sound, ensuring that the inherent tone is faithfully reproduced when the guitar is amplified, and can easily be delivered to external sources such as a mixing desk, amps, monitors or PA systems.
FeaturesPerfect for all styles, including fingerpicking, arpeggio, vibrant percussive strumming and solo note runs, the VGA990 does it all.
