If the purpose of a copy is to provide a taste of the real thing at a way more affordable price point then both these V100s pass that test in some style. Nothing to complain about though, any minor imperfection with these reliced guitars just adds to their mojo. This is really a guitar where you’re not going to be too troubled if you accidentally thump it off your desk!

Trusted Shops I honestly have no issues here; the guitar plays as well as any budget guitar I’ve owned, and the sound quality is excellent. Of course, both guitars are based on the Les Paul Custom, so we should really have ebony ’boards and rectangular inlays, rather than the more Standard-like style here. That said, inlays on both are pretty sharp. I never thought I’d actually go to a Les Paul before my beloved strats! Can’t praise this Lemondrop enough really! With the exception of the maple top of the MP, no wood is visible on either guitar apart from the fingerboard, which is made of something called Lignum Rosa (a name coined by experienced guitar designer Alan Entwistle, the man behind the Revelation brand). It’s not rosewood, though it certainly looks similar; it’s a multi-layered wood construct that’s ‘quarter-sawn’ so the layers create a grain at a right angles to the face.

That Vintage logo might not be the coolest we’ve seen, but it’s not a deal-breaker and we’d strongly suggest you try either of these alongside the obvious competition, not least Epiphone. Do they hold their own? We think so. Specs

The Trev Wilkinson-designed Vintage V100 features a unique evolutionary body shape with a graceful descending bass side shoulder and an ingeniously designed offset heel providing improved access to the ‘dusty-end’ of the guitar’s upper frets and opening up your playing. Whether you're searching for your first guitar or your last, every member of the Vintage ReIssued Series is a keeper. Then play on.. This easily beats out the Epiphones in my opinion and the unique look and sound is something you simply wont find unless you spend several thousand on a Gibson. If you have a google around you will see lots of people singing the praises of these instruments. Genuinely a lovely guitar at a bargin price and I'm really sad to let this one go but downsizing my collection so alas it must. The V100™ 'Lemon Drop™' is an original Vintage® ReIssued Series guitar designed in the UK by the Vintage® design team. The combination of the lip on the stud tailpiece’s threaded body inserts and that relatively low tune-o-matic means the break angle from saddle to tailpiece is slightly flatter, too, which may be a good or bad thing depending on your taste.
