‘ACOUSTIC GUITAR OF THE YEAR’VE2000GG

Highly regarded as one of the world's greatest guitar players, Gordon Giltrap has been at theforefront of acoustic guitar playing since the 1960s and has released more than thirty albums in

his four decades in the music business.

Designed by respected master luthier Rob Armstrong and Gordon himself, the crossover GrandAuditorium/000 style Vintage Gordon Giltrap Signature range is based on a hand-crafted

instrument that Rob made back in 1980 and that Gordon still plays today.

New for 2013 is the the GG Deluxe model, which comes in Gordon's favoured wood combinationand features a USA-made, top of the range Fishman Rare Earth pickup.

Gordon says: “My Deluxe GG Signature model has all the sonic qualities of its earlier cousins and more, giving a wonderful warmth to the tone with the featured solid

rosewood back and sides and the crispness of cedar, with the luxury of ebony for the fingerboard. The choice of wood is my favourite combination –

the warmth of the rosewood and the immediacy of the cedar make for a wonderfully crisp, bright sound that suits

my playing style perfectly.”

VintagePAULBRETTSignatures“I had the privilege of being involved in the

design process for these guitars. I wanted to recreate the sound of an early

12-string that so many guitarists seek for bluesplaying. Now I've got the finished product,

I'm amazed that you can replicate most 6-stringstyles on the 12-string with ease, which has tobe a bonus and... the sound is like a cannon!”

PILGRIMbyVintagePaul Tebbutt’s unique line of bowlbackPilgrim electro-acoustics caused a real stirin the 70s and 80s, winning numerousawards and accolades, and originals haveachieved cult status among collectors.

Pilgrim guitars featured the then-innovative method of guitar building, mating a meticulouslyselected solid cedar top to acontoured fibreglass back to produce the ultimate blend of tonal excellence,function, and form.

Pilgrim by Vintage – a collaborationbetween Paul and the Vintage designteam – keeps the spirit of those pioneering early Pilgrim guitars alive, with a narrow waist accentuating the pronounced body curves, the use ofselected close grain cedar tops, premiumquality timbers for the neck and fingerboard, and a superb overall buildquality to achieve stunning looks, easy playability, projection and superlativetone.

The success of the Pilgrim by Vintage guitars has inspired the team to create aseries of Pilgrim by Vintage banjos, mandolins and mandolas. Paul, an experienced, celebrated musician himself, has thrown his decades of instrument building experience into the project, and the results are nothing less than sensational.

With classic designs and organicfinishes that will appeal to players of all abilities, these exciting new models feature fine tonewoods and premium hardware appointments, accurately reflecting Vintage’s reputation for performance and value, along with Paul’s unending passion for quality, playability, tradition and tone.
