A Giant Secret Of The Small Bodied Guitar World – The Vintage V300 Parlor   by Jim Bruce

Sporting a solid spruce top and eco-conscious nato wood neck, the Vintage V300 acoustic parlor guitar is a great introduction to playing full size instruments. Its straightforward no-frills sound and classic looks have a lot to offer guitarists of all abilities.

The V300 Parlor from Vintage was recently voted best guitar under $1000 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine and it really lives up to the hype. For a cheap acoustic, it has a suprisingly great tone, with a mature sound. The wood is good quality. The top is spruce and a nato wood neck which is fast to play. The bridge is rosewood and it has twenty frets with 14 accessible.

The action needed some adjustment because I found it too high but this was not such a big deal. It came in a card board box, and was adequately. My initial impression was that it was well put together and looked quite beautiful (I went for the cherry sunburst model). I additionally chose the VE300, which features Fishman electronics with a tidy little tuner on board, which is an essential for me. This is a great little blues guitar.

The sound is surprising. It seemed to me that the high end is more dominant, which is great for cutting through ambient hubbub if you happen to be playing acoustically, but some might prefer better bass response. That said, for the money it over delivers. I play blues guitar, and this instrument picks well. It is quite loud,with good sustain. The sound is really rich at the amount of money. It shouldn’t be criticized really. Amplified, it delivers a solid sound with bags of class.

The finish doesn’t appear to scratch easily if banged – an inevitable thing for a travelling musician, and it stays in tune well enough. The tuning pegs are Grover lookalikes and appear to be high quality. This is the kind of thing that becomes apparent after some years.

The Vintage Parlor shouldn’t really be compared to a high end Gibson or Martin. Musicians with one of those guitars will notice straight away that the Vintage is missing something in the bass department, but of course you may pay twenty times more for one of these high end instruments. The question is – is it worth the extra money? As always, it depends on what you want and what you can afford. In my opinion, this is a fantastic guitar for around £180, an asking price that I still think is amazing. If you want a blues guitar, or prefer folk or jazz, you really can’t go wrong.

Dtar Sadducer Undersaddle Pickup for Nylon-String Guitars $80.5 The D-TAR Sadducer under-saddle-transducer for acoustic guitars uses 6 discrete piezo crystals one for each string. Discrete piezo crystals have better string-to-string balance and offer increased responsiveness to a nylon string guitar top’s vibrations for great tone.

The D-TAR Sadducer is exceptional for melody players, especially guitarists who play over the entire fingerboard.

That means no batteries required. This nylon string pickup is optimized for acoustic guitars with string spacing of 2.25 to 2.42 (57 to 61.5mm). The Sadducer pickups thin height and narrow width permits optimal saddle placement in the bridge slot generally without a need to modify the slot.
