Here is a Vintage VRS110c electric guitar in gloss black. It is in very good order. Good straight neck, no fret or fingerboard wear. Some very slight scratches, hardly noticeable.

Current RRP = £289.

Here’s what Vintage say – The fixed bridge VRS110c guitar features a tidy and efficient intonated wrap-over bridge/tailpiece combination. This robust style of bridge system has seen a resurgence of popularity in the last few years thanks to its authentic tonal quality, the simplicity and effectiveness of the original 50’s design possessing a unique and individual appeal.

The tonal powerhouse of the VRS guitars is the Wilkinson® double coil pickups. Meticulously designed by Trevor, their classically-voiced, meaty double coil tone will capture the heart of even the most sceptical of guitarists. Using straightforward volume and tone controls with a 3-way toggle switch, these versatile guitars move from fruity-toned neck pickup sounds to flat-out bridge pickup excitement – VRS guitars pack tone with punch!

GIUSTOZZI ORGANETTO – MELODEON – BUTTON ACCORDION. HANDMADE ITALIAN

mannings — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 21:39:57 +0000

Here is a melodeon made by Giustozzi, Castelfidardo, Italy. It is in the key of A. It is in fantastic condition, with its original case. It is a three voice instrument, which is dry tuned (LMM). It has one stop to remove the low note. It has 12 keys in total, the three on the second row are repeat notes in reverse, ie, on the pull instead of the push, and vice versa. Very handy for complicated runs. Also all three together on the pull give the arpeggio chord of A, handy to finish a tune with a full chord, when you’ve run out of air on the push!

It has two built in microphones, which work well (connecting cable included). The tuning is spot on, i know, i tuned it! I am the UK’s only maker of cajun accordions, and also offer tuning services to my customers. Note, the very first low note, (the one you don’t use!), does not have the low voice, it was made that way.

I could go on, i have been to the workshop in Castelfidardo twice, and all the accordions they make are excellent. If this is for you, you will not be disappointed.

Overall, a fantastic playing melodeon, fast action, with a fat, loud sound for its small size.

Weight = 2.35kg.

Dimensions = 9 1/2 ” x 5 1/2″ x 11 1/4″.

Price = £495.
