Challenge VP (often written as VP Challenge) is a budget guitar label that has appeared on affordable copies of classic American designs since at least the 1980s. The brand's catalog is dominated by beginner and entry-level instruments — Stratocaster- and Telecaster-style electrics, Les Paul copies, Jazz Bass-style four- and five-string basses, classical and dreadnought acoustics, and small practice combo amps such as the CH-GA 10 P guitar amp and CH-BA20 bass amp.
Little verified information exists about the company behind the name. Instruments have been sold through European and UK retailers, and individual examples have been documented as being made in South Korea, with later production often attributed to Chinese factories. The line is typically treated by resellers as a generic or house-branded import rather than a boutique maker, and the label has no well-known official presence or signature artist associations.
Challenge VP instruments turn up most often on the secondhand market through sites like Reverb, eBay, and Audiofanzine, where they are generally discussed as serviceable starter guitars and basses rather than collector pieces.
Challenge VP has 1 product cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses.
