VVG has happy owners in countries spanning the globe that can attest to that: ~"A great looking, sounding, and playing guitar! The quality of this Strat is FAR better than equal or higher priced American Fender guitars." -Virgil’s Vintage Relic Aged TV Mahogany Stratocaster Bare Knuckle Pickups. ~"Outstanding. Amazing build quality and tone. Sounds better than my custom strats." - Virgil's Vintage Relic Aged 1962 Stratocaster Fiesta Red. ~"Stellar guitar and service. QC was phenomenal on this order. I own a Berly, a Nash, Rittenhouse, rock n roll relics, and a palir. Virgil may have out done all of them. The relic is better than all and playability leaves nothing to be desired. Certainly my new #1 t style and maybe my fave overall". -Virgil's Vintage Relic Aged Early 60s Telecaster Salmon Pink ~"Great communication, really cares about his work and being thorough. In my opinion, it's far better than a custom shop and I've owned plenty and this is a fraction of the cost. Truly an inspiring guitar to play. Thanks again Virgil! A+ Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to playing it." -Virgil's Vintage Relic Aged 1954 Blackguard Telecaster Visit me on Instagram & FB: Virgil’s Vintage Guitars
