They sound great bog standard , the v100 it , is a great bluesy sounding guitar , its NOT a rocker ! You want a mick ronson for that / something with similar pickups , some people are just messers !

I could pick one up for about a grand, would you say it’s worth it? Thanks!

Hi don't know if you'll see this msg but my wife just bought this guitar for my 40th birthday. I couldn't be happier, I think the fret inlay on 3rd fret has been covered with some sort of sticker. I was going to take it off and explore but just wanted to get your opinion on it if you think the same . I agree with you it's doesn't bother me because the guitar is great but I'm just curious 👍

i have 81 year model ;) same color.

how much for this guitar?

how thin is the neck compared to other guitars? would you say it's a slim neck or more wide feeling

All the people in comments saying these were shite maybe should have took them for a set up or learned how to set them up. I have a white SSS one with maple neck.

Better than Gibson.

I have the cherry red version with switched out humbuckers (still have the original rails as well) just put some new snares on it and it plays just as smooth as a modern ibanez or fender. Great guitar for it's time an underestimated vintage gem imo 👍

I picked up the exact same guitar last year for a £160 quid shocking how good this guitar is, build quality sound feel, I have another Vintage V6P with 3 P90s picked that up with the paper on the strings for just 120 quid, lucky for me and other's people have no clue how good these guitars are, even my guitar tech loved my V100 in his own words this is as close to a Les Paul as you can get , electrics most Asian made guitar use the micro pots, as for the caps they do one thing store energy depending on the values, the Humbuckers Double Coil Alinico 5 pretty decent you mention Iron Gear heard great things and there is Tone Rider, but I am seriously thinking of going hand made,there is a place that sells a set for 200 quid, Vintage is a brand that the big names like Gibson and Fender hate, you don't see big retail chains like Andertons carry them most likely Gibson and Fender would read them the riot act since they are both authorized dealers of those brands, great review,

It's strange, I got a v1003 about a year ago and a chunk of the binding on that was overpainted as well (in the same place). It must be a manufacturing issue they have. I've considered scraping it off but that would mean it looking very white next to the yellowed lacquer on the rest of the binding.

These Vintage Guitars really are attractive to me 👍

Hi Mr 2many. I have picked up a Ninja strat for buttons. Can't find any gen on it but it shares the same angled neck pickup and skunk stripe as your Marlin. The body is very heavy and the neck is superb and highly crafted. Any details you know on these ?

Just realised that I twiddled the wrong control knobs for delay there, my glasses must need updating 🤓

is it a flame maple veneer on a maple cap?

I was so excited to get one of these back in the day, brand new, silver one, got one as a present I had to chip in to it lol, I can't remember the price but it was not 'cheap' for the time, to be really honest though, it was shit, very heavy, terrible sound and always out of tune then the selector wasn't working and the rest of it, I can't remember what I did with it but I picked up a used Jedson for £20 that blew this thing away, I loved that Jedson until it got broken by someone else and I was devastated even though it only cost me £20, I'm not really a guitarist and this is my own view of my experience not to say people out there wouldn't enjoy one of these (I probably didn't know what I was doing with it and it may well have been badly set up, the shop I got it from wasn't a specialist place, they sold all sorts)

Lovely sounding Les Paul, did I hear out of phase in the middle?

This is a very good Les Paul copy with its stacked Wilkonson somehow P90 PUs. Looks beautiful, sounds clear and warm, has a very good finish and most of all is a guitar a lot of people can afford, if they want to, like all Vintage guitars. Bought one last week new for 420€.

I'm sure these never came with a Floyd Rose style bridge... if that's a genuine Floyd, it's probably worth more than the guitar! The early Sidewinders were made in Japan and the DDR and later made in Korea (Samick). I have an early Japanese one and it's suberb... they all needed a setup before they were playable... but as a low end guitar they got many a budding guitar player started and were a 'good bang for the buck'! If you can find a MIJ one... then grab it!

Its about a 78 not a 74 Cause Ace didn’t get his 3 pickup les paul until later in the love Gun era around 77

Very interesting because I have a Marlin Sidewinder guitar. I think they are underestimated by some. A good budget Strat type instrument.

How do these feel to play in comparison to a glpc ?

Very nice!

Hi which version is better the ‘older’ ones prior to 2005? Before they put the Wilkinson pickups in? Basically non branded pick ups on the vs6...are those ones any good? Or should I look for the ones with Wilkinson pick ups in? Thank you

This was the third guitar I ever owned. I had a Marlin State of the Art, but swapped that for this exact model. Played and sounded great. Replaced it with a Hohner ST Viper II in coral pink.

Loved these guitars as a teenager. The warehouse was just down the road from me in Caerphilly. They also made Hohner guitars.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I had one of these in 1986, got it by saving up from my first job at 16 yrs old, crap it was that long ago.

Ive just bought one of these as my first guitar for my 30th birthday with a copy of rocksmith and a yousicion account

I have one, apparently their quite valuable mine is a 97.

it looks great!!

Thanks for doing this in clean sound, beautiful guitar & sound so awesome!! I'm digging this guitar now. Cheers.

My VS6 left handed SG sounds absolutely great !! Only problem terrible feedback effect when playing with loud volume. You have to wax potting your pickup

Good review Geordie I enjoyed that. I take it you found a buyer?
