Vintage is a British guitar brand founded in 1995, owned by the Garforth, Leeds-based musical instrument distributor John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd. (JHS). The brand was built around a partnership with renowned luthier and hardware designer Trev Wilkinson, whose Wilkinson bridges, tuners, and custom-wound pickups became defining features across the range. From the beginning, Vintage's mission has been to offer vintage-styled guitars with professional-grade components — quality tonewoods, branded hardware, and thoughtful design — at accessible price points, positioning them as instruments for working musicians rather than collectors.

The product line spans electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, and ukuleles across numerous series. The ReIssued Series (including the V100, V6, and V52 models) forms the backbone of the electric range, while the ICON Series is notable for pioneering factory-reliced finishes in serial production. Other lines include the REVO Series designed by pickup maker Alan Entwistle, the Metal Axxe range aimed at heavy rock and metal players, and acoustic series such as the Statesboro and Historic lines. Signature models have been developed with artists including Thomas Blug, Midge Ure, Jerry Donahue, Paul Brett, Gordon Giltrap, Paul Rose, and Tony Butler.

Vintage guitars are designed in the UK and manufactured overseas, a model that has allowed the brand to maintain its value-driven approach across more than 140 international markets. Key hardware and component partnerships with Wilkinson, Grover, Graph Tech, Fishman, and Bare Knuckle Pickups contribute to the brand's reputation for punching well above its price bracket.

Vintage has 62 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Electric Basses, and Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars. Their gear is featured by 18 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Metal. Notable users include Phil Shouse, Ryan Cook, and Midge Ure. Most Vintage products fall in the mid-tier range — professional-grade without flagship pricing.
