Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2013 Friedman Vintage S Electric Guitar with an Aged Candy Apple Red Finish! The Friedman Vintage S is an easy-playing solidbody electric guitar with a sonic versatility that can’t be contained within any genre. This classic-styled axe displays a belly-hugging S-style alder body matched by an uber-comfortable bolt-on maple neck and a lightning-fast compound-radius fingerboard with 22 medium-wide frets. A trio of Friedman pickups in a versatile HSS configuration equips the Vintage S with everything from single-coil spank to humbucker crunch. The Vintage S also sports a vintage-style Gotoh 510 tremolo that gives rise to gentle textures, out-and-out pitch pyrotechnics, and all points in between. This Vintage S also brandishes an aged nitro finish for a worn-in look and feel. Players hunting for a tonal chameleon with a classic look and limitless playability will get all that and more with the Friedman Vintage S — it’s bound and determined to be your new number one.
High-level players with a penchant for vintage styling will love everything about the Friedman Vintage S. This solidbody electric is built around a balanced-sounding alder body sculpted into a historic S-style shape. Its bolt-on maple neck is carved into a comfortable “C” shape with a low-drag natural satin finish. You also get a fast-playing compound-radius fingerboard crowned with medium-wide Jescar frets. Beyond that, this Vintage S features an aged nitro finish, ensuring that — from the first note — this axe will feel like an old friend you’ve been playing for decades.
Guitarists who want to cover a wide breadth of genres using a single instrument will find plenty of room for sonic exploration with the Friedman Vintage S, thanks to its versatile HSS pickup configuration. In the neck and middle positions are Alnico III-fueled Friedman Classic single-coil pickups, arming you with vintage-tinged spank and pronounced mids. At the bridge, you’ll find a Friedman Classic double-coil pickup, an Alnico V-loaded pickup that deftly combines the best of vintage and modern humbucker tones. The Vintage S includes a 500k volume knob, a 500k tone knob, and a 5-way pickup selector blade switch.
The Vintage S is replete with high-end hardware. Its Gotoh SD91 locking tuners combine vintage styling with modern reliability, making string changes a piece of cake. Its vintage-style Gotoh 510 tremolo not only facilitates the gamut of expressive sonic textures, but also enables you to unleash screaming harmonic squealies and subterranean dive-bombs with tuning stability that rivals a double-locking trem. The Vintage S also includes an eye-catching PVC pickguard and classic S-style knobs. This guitar is in excellent shape, rated at 9.5/10. All original, missing the backplate and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is a gig bag and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net!
