Check These Beauties Out!
In the ever-evolving world of musical instruments, some guitars aim to be practical workhorses, some seek to emulate past glories, and a rare few dare to do both while carving out something fresh, exciting, and undeniably cool. Enter the new Vintage REVO Series, a collection of instruments that seamlessly blend the best elements of vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge playability and performance. These guitars and basses bring together meticulous craftsmanship, stunning finishes, and versatile sonic capabilities, making them an exceptional addition to any musician’s arsenal.
Now available at Musicmaker, Dublin’s renowned home for musicians since the early 1980s, the Vintage REVO Series introduces three particularly striking models: the Integra Electric Guitar in Amberburst, the Superthin Electric Guitar in Cherry Red, and the Callan Bass in See-Thru Honey. Each one boasts its own unique personality, distinct tonal character, and design flourishes that set it apart from the pack. Let's take a closer look at what makes these instruments stand out.
The Vintage REVO Series Integra Electric Guitar – Amberburst
With its offset double-cutaway design and eye-catching Amberburst finish, the Integra is an instrument that exudes a bold, modern edge while drawing inspiration from classic guitars of the past. It features a seven-piece tonewood body, combining ash, mahogany, and maple, ensuring both stunning looks and rich, resonant tone.
The satin-finished neck, constructed from three-piece maple, provides an exceptionally comfortable playing experience, while the 22-fret jatoba fingerboard, adorned with distinctive block inlays, adds to its elegant aesthetic. But what truly sets the Integra apart is its pickup configuration—a pair of Entwistle low-noise, coil-tapped double-coil pickups, paired with ATN tone circuitry, offering a vast palette of sounds from sparkling cleans to thick, powerful overdrive.
Designed for musicians who crave both versatility and reliability, the Integra also features a Wilkinson hardtail bridge, a GraphTech precision-cut nut, and Wilkinson machine heads, ensuring impeccable tuning stability and smooth intonation. Whether you're a session musician looking for a flexible instrument or a gigging guitarist in need of a robust and stylish axe, the Integra delivers on all fronts.
The Vintage REVO Series Superthin Electric Guitar – Cherry Red
For those who appreciate the elegance and resonance of a semi-hollow electric guitar, the Superthin in Cherry Red is a dream come true. Boasting a double-bound okoume body with a mahogany set neck, this guitar combines lightweight comfort with a powerful, full-bodied sound.
Its 22-fret bound jatoba fingerboard, featuring intricate patterned inlays, ensures smooth and comfortable playability, making it an ideal choice for players who enjoy expressive lead work and intricate chord voicings. Underneath its 3-ply scratchplate lies a trio of Entwistle HFS63 mini 'diamond' double-coil pickups, offering a broad spectrum of tonal options. Each pickup has an individual on/off slide switch, along with a bass-cut switch, allowing for an impressive degree of sound-shaping potential.
Further elevating the Superthin’s retro charm is its vintage-style vibrato system, which invites expressive bends and shimmering chordal textures. Wilkinson tulip-button tuners and a GraphTech nut ensure that tuning stability remains rock-solid, even when putting the vibrato through its paces. If you’re looking for a guitar that captures the magic of 1960s hollow-body icons while offering modern reliability, the Superthin is ready to steal the show.
The Vintage REVO Series Callan Bass – See-Thru Honey
Bass players are in for a treat with the Callan Bass in See-Thru Honey, an instrument that embodies both timeless elegance and raw power. Designed to cater to a wide range of playing styles, this bass combines an ergonomic body shape with carefully selected tonewoods, resulting in a bass that is both sonically versatile and comfortable to play.
Though specific details on the Callan Bass remain somewhat elusive, its inclusion in the REVO Series suggests that it will offer the same top-tier craftsmanship, premium hardware, and impressive tonal range as its guitar counterparts. The See-Thru Honey finish highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain, making this bass as visually stunning as it is sonically commanding.
Whether you're laying down punchy, articulate basslines in the studio or delivering thunderous grooves on stage, the Callan is designed to handle it all. Expect a fast-playing neck, dynamic pickup configuration, and rock-solid construction, ensuring this bass can go the distance in any musical setting.
