Vintage VE880VB Historic 1920 Series
It is a parlour OO style electro-acoustic guitar inspired by 1920s instruments, featuring a Fishman Acoustic Matrix VT preamp and Fishman Sonicore pickup.
Historic series and 1920s influence
The "Historic" aspect of the name refers to the guitar's aesthetic and design influences. The Vintage brand's "Historic Series" evokes the "traditional aesthetics of the earliest acoustic guitars" and is built with "pre-war US acoustics in mind," which became favorites of blues players. Its parlour size and classic vintage burst finish give it an aged, traditional look. Key features,
- Top: Solid spruce.
- Back and Sides: Mahogany.
- Body Shape: Parlour, which is a small-bodied guitar known for a focused, articulate tone, especially suitable for fingerpicking.
- Finish: Satin open-pore Vintage Burst.
- Headstock: Slotted, adding to its vintage appeal.
- Neck: Mahogany.
- Fingerboard: Rosewood.
- Nut/Saddle: Nubone.
- Scale: 645mm.
- Tuners: Chrome open-gear.
Electronics
- Pickup: Fishman Sonicore undersaddle piezo pickup.
- Preamp: Fishman Acoustic Matrix VT, with volume and tone controls discreetly mounted in the soundhole. This provides a clean, transparent, and dynamic amplified sound. Note that some product descriptions may list a simpler Fishman Sonitone preamp, but the Acoustic Matrix VT is also a common feature.
Performance
The VE880VB is highly regarded for its balance of vintage aesthetics and modern playability. Reviewers note its excellent tone, dynamic range, and suitability for various playing styles, including fingerpicking and blues. It's considered an affordable and high-quality instrument that offers both playability and stylistic appeal.
