Description

The Friedman Vintage S Electric Guitar is a harmonious blend of classic aesthetics and modern versatility, crafted for musicians who demand both style and substance. With its versatile HSS pickup configuration, this guitar offers a wide spectrum of tones, making it adept at navigating genres from bluesy rhythms to hard rock crunch. The Vintage S features a sleek alder body with a historically inspired S-style shape, ensuring comfort for those long jam sessions. Its bolt-on maple neck, carved into a comfortable "C" shape, is paired with a fast-playing compound-radius fingerboard that promises swift transitions and effortless solos.

The guitar's sonic versatility is anchored by the Friedman Classic pickups. In the neck and middle positions, the single-coil pickups deliver vintage spank and clarity, while the bridge's humbucker adds a powerful, modern punch. Aged to perfection, the nitro finish not only looks the part but also feels like an old favorite right out of the box.

High-end hardware completes the ensemble, with Gotoh SD91 locking tuners ensuring stability and ease of tuning. The vintage-style Gotoh 510 tremolo invites expressive playing, from subtle vibratos to adventurous dive-bombs, all while maintaining tuning integrity. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Friedman Vintage S is your ticket to sonic exploration without boundaries.

Friedman Vintage-T & Vintage-S Review

guitar.com

Friedman's Vintage S and T models blend robust design with vintage flair, thanks to the expertise of Dave Friedman and Grover Jackson. The guitars boast innovative features like Zero-Shift Neck Pins and Plek setups for enduring playability. The Vintage-S delights with its versatile tones and hum-cancelling capabilities, while the Vintage-T's P-90 pickups offer rich, muscular warmth. While some might prefer a smoother neck finish, both guitars exude reliability and style, making them ideal for rock and alternative genres. Despite minor critiques, these models stand out as premium, road-ready instruments.

FREIDMAN VINTAGE S | REVIEW - Guitar Interactive Magazine

guitarinteractivemagazine.com

A nod to the past with a modern twist, the Friedman Vintage S combines exquisite craftsmanship and tonal versatility. Its relic finish is a visual delight, reminiscent of custom shop guitars, while the rough neck feel provides an authentically worn-in experience. The pickups deliver a genuinely vintage sound with a dynamic and bold edge. Though it might not cater to the "djent" crowd, the guitar excels in providing vintage Strat tones and hard rock vibes. Its compound radius fretboard and slim neck are built for comfort and speed, making it a high-end workhorse for discerning players.
