Yeah man! Some of these Vintage guitars are built sturdy as hell. I have had all sorts happen to my VS6 and it still looks as gorgeous as ever, not a dent or chip to be seen! These guitars are not even half as expensive as the Gibson ones, and sound just as good.

Yeh, Vintage = one of the best electric guitar companys.

Anyone here played a V6 (strat copy) I'm interested in buying one cos i want a whammy bar.

Don't bother.
Strats have useless tremolo, and they sound horrible for anything except blues.

Besides, tremolo is annoying to tune and restring, even with a Floyd Rose III double locking.
Goes out of tune in 2 days and is the worst thing ever if you're just learning.

No its not. It's a pile of shit compaired to the ESP LTD series.
Whatever, those guitars are only good for heavy stuff and nothing else.
I had one, it sounded crap for stuff like ACDC and Slayer, sounded allright for Slipknot etc though, but it was retarded for staying in tune and tuning.

why get a poser? Doesn't have to be a gibson..could have been an epiphone.

Buying knockoffs is a good way to look at a company.

If they can't come up with anything original and have to just make knockoffs, then they aren't someone id buy from.

Well... just because they copied that design, it doesn't mean the factory isn't good. I bought mine a couple of days ago and believe me, it could knock off most £300+ guitars I've seen. Why the heck should I buy a crappy Epiphone (they're owned by Gibson, not built by Gibson) when there's a cheaper alternative with better quality?

This guitar feels much better than the epiphone version, plus some of us can't always afford the gibson originals.

Its only real competitor is Gibson's SG, and believe me the Vintage axe has its own virtues. For instance, its neck is better than Gibson's: everyone who has used an SG knows that its neck is quite thin and tend to bend in solos made on the first 6-8 frets,thus messing the whole tuning. VS6 has a solid thick neck, pretty much similar to a Les Paul. The result - a neck that doesn't bend - equals a perfect tuning stability: not the case of an SG (I suspect Tommy Iommi's guitars have extra carbon fibre truss rods in their necks, in order to cope with this problem...).
Besides that, Trev Wilkinson's PAFs, made after the receipe given by Seth Lover, are potted with a better wax than Gibson's, hence then specific PAF microphony, which can be heard on any all-tube amp above 50 Watts, has vanished.
Don't ignore Vintage: it's the make of the moment. Although I don't understand very well their marketing strategy (with labels such as "Reissued", "Icon" and "Advance"), although there are some products who show up the cheap labour behind them, Vintage guitars are really good. And, what's more important, you can gig and record with them, no matter where and on which equipment. Don' forget we're talking about 250-300 euros. That's quite rare nowadays.

I tried an Epi G400 before getting my VS6, it cost $70 more, and it weighed about twice as much, the neck felt like it was coated in glue and the pickups were pieces of crap, I've actually never heard such a muddy guitar. XD

Dear fellow: what do you mean when you say the bridge has moved when you replaced the strings? The entire bridge, or only the stopbar (which is supposed to move , since it's not attached to anything)? Stopbar's guidance screws can't be switched unless you use a screwdriver, so it's virtually impossible to change its position only by replacing the strings.
What do you mean when you say the guitar's neck isn't set at the correct angle? It's a set neck : if the angle was wrong, then you would have noticed it instantly when you purchased the guitar, because a wrong angle makes the guitar hardly playable (or unplayable in most cases). You've just said that the music shop's setup was good, everything changed when you replaced the strings. Did it occur to your mind the idea you have no idea about how to handle such an instrument? And, if you aren't experienced enough to replace the strings without damaging the setup, why do you write reviews? What's the big experience you are ready to share with us?
... Yet, the guy rewarded an 8,6 overall to the axe he pretends to have a major construction flaw (wrong neck angle) and countless average and minor ones. Remarkably indeed.
