Full Description

Beautiful blends of tonewoods

This model features a solid spruce top that yields a crisp and articulate tone with a broad dynamic range, providing the player with a sonically versatile soundboard. It also offers a sparkling high response and a tight, clear attack, perfect for pronounced players. This has been complemented by maple back with mahogany sides, which offer a unique construction with stunning tonal qualities.

Its maple back adds a bright attack with long-lasting, ringing sustain and plenty of bite, whilst its mahogany sides produce a rich, full sound with plenty of resonance and emphasis to bass and treble tones. With its unique tonewood combination and incredible attention to sonic-details, Vintage and Paul Brett are able to provide the player with an instrument made to sound like the big blues machines of the 1930s era.

Stunning acoustics

Vintage have given this model a classic and authentic-looking parlour body, which provides a comfortable playing experience throughout both seated and standing performances due to its compact size and nipped in waist. It also offers a resonant tone and projects an acoustic volume that belies its compact size. When gently played, it delivers plenty of overtones and harmonic content, whilst strumming it hard, provides you with an incredibly resonant tone and lots of sonically pleasing ringing sustain. Furthermore, the Paul Brett Statesboro 12-String is ideal for the more traditional blues picker but is also well-suited to roots music and other more alternative playing styles.

Ready for stage and studio

This model comes equipped with a quality Fishman Rare Earth Humbucker, which means it becomes ideal for stage and studio use. In addition, due to the pickup being fitted with cutting-edge neodymium magnets, the pickup is able to project a warmer, more natural-sounding amplified tone. This incredibly accurate pickup has been re-voiced and fine-tuned to ensure a smoother treble response, exceptional string balance and sparkling clarity. With this, the Vintage Statesboro 12-string is perfect for the gigging and recording musician that craves a full, warm, humbucking sound. Simply plug-in and play straight out of the box.
