All-Mahogany Construction
 
The Vintage VEC501 comes equipped with a mahogany top that offers a natural compression, creating strong fundamentals with a clear, direct focus.

Additionally, used as back and side panels, the mahogany delivers a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles. This sonically-pleasing mixture of tonewoods produces a rich, full-bodied acoustic sound, offering warmth, and resonance with a powerful response.

The tone produced is able to accommodate numerous genres and playing styles with ease, from rock, pop, indie, folk, roots music, and country, as well as flatpicking, western, and slide techniques.
