Vintage V880WK Statesboro Paul Brett Parlour Acoustic, Whisky Sour Overview

There's an aura of 1930's blues about the new Vintage Statesboro' Whisky Sour Series of acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, designed by English guitarist and blues historian Paul Brett.

Harken back to the Great Depression era in the USA, when so many classic songs were written about money problems and job losses, on what in reality, were just functional guitars amiss of luxurious appointments like exotic tonewoods, bindings or elaborate inlays.

The new Vintage Statesboro' Whisky Sour acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, (available in dreadnought, concert and parlour body sizes) all share the same 'bluesman on a budget' theme, looking authentically cool in a satin matt, Whisky Sour finish highlighting the natural grain pattern of the all-mahogany construction and subtle soundhole rosette.

It's Paul Brett's keen eye for design and expertise that's cleverly created a series of acoustic and electro acoustic guitars, that not only have that 'feel it in your bones' innate blues emotion, there's also a modern approach within playability and sound that amateur and professional players will appreciate.

The warm, crisp resonant tone of the handpicked mahogany for example and palm friendly neck profiles, smooth frets and a great action, make the Statesboro' Whisky Sour Series acoustics not merely an emotionally inspiring thrill for blues players, they're also well-suited to a wide range of playing styles

Like all Statesboro' acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars, the parlour model alone has a big sound and is perfect as a travel companion, while both dreadnought and concert models are also available as electro-acoustic guitars with single cutaway bodies and an additional Vintage preamp with controls for volume, bass, middle and treble, phase switch, tuner display and low battery indicator.

I’ve been playing guitars for a long, long time and recently decided to delve into delta finger style blues (Robert Johnson) but wanted a guitar that had a more appropriate feel/vibe than the acoustic guitars I already have. I didn’t want to spend a fortune in case I was awful at it, the idea being that if I was getting the hang of it I’d upgrade to a better guitar BUT I’m delighted to say that firstly I’m having a ball learning a new style and secondly I won’t be upgrading to a better guitar because this one is superb! Build quality and finish are excellent and the tone is rich and warm with a nice, crisp top end. The action wasn’t great but I could say that about every guitar I’ve bought and is easy enough to sort. It’s difficult to believe that you can buy this good an instrument for such an appealing price.

Excellent little parlour guitar at a great price , price belies the quality of this instrument - it’s an excellent guitar for the money - loud and very articulate and a delightful thin and wide neck , ideal for all styles

Insanely low priced guitar considering how good it is. Once I'd taken the action down it's a very easy to play guitar, and sounds great whether picked or strummed, a good bright, tight sound and quite loud too. Recommended.
