Why do we love vintage guitars?

At Regent 7 we believe the magic lies in the subtle (and not so subtle) variation and imperfection that ensures every guitar has its own unique voice and character.

Our guitars aim to capture some of this magic.

Our necks are carved by hand and whilst following classic profiles from our favourite vintage examples, the final carve will be tailored to the particular vision for that specific guitar. This also extends to the amount of fretboard rolling, clay dot and celluloid colour and fret choice. We use premium period correct tonewoods for our bodies and necks which are selected for their weight and grain.

Our pickups are handwound by us at Regent 7 HQ which allows us to tailor them specifically for that guitar.

The guitars are finished in unplasticised nitrocellulose with all tints and colours mixed by eye.

The hardware and plastics are aged by us to compliment the level of aging required for that guitar.

When all these factors are married together we believe the end result will inspire you and your playing.

And thats why we love vintage guitars.
