Vintage V100 Les Paul "Retirement"?  (Certainly as far as we are concerned)

The Vintage V100 series guitars are undgergoing "at best" a change of ownership and at worst "retirement".  Regardless of the outcome, due to the 30 years invested and awareness of the hugely variable quality over the years - some wonderful and some ....well not so wonderful....  I have decided I will be retiring my involvement regardless of the outcome as I know in my heart that I cannot personally continue to invest the energy and passion into a brand that I cannot believe will live up to my personal standards - and every single guitar brand I promote is one of a personal belief and conviction.

If they prove me wrong?  Wonderful - and maybe they would even welcome me back (I remember the same happening with Gordon Smith guitars - very similar circumstances when I think about it?  How odd....)

The good news?  Cort guitars have been a top personal recommendation for 30 years and whilst their guitars are very slightly more expensive, they are in a whole different class of instrument.

I can now enjoy focusing on one thing well than spreading myself between two brands.  I have always had a very personal connection with both brands and whilst sad to see Vintage go - It is also somewhat of a reief I have to say :(

If you were looking for a Vintage V100 Les Paul?  Whilst they continue to give the illusion of all things being "as normal" - I would argue they are anything but and this picture is painted to enable themselves best opportunity of finding a buyer - but I personally dont want to sell guitars which I cannot provide a full manufacturer backed guarantee - or even know how the new ownership would support it if one existed - and my advice would be for you to consider this too.
