VG is an original brand crafted by Terada Gakki, a world-renowned, long-established musical instrument workshop.
As you can see, this model is inspired by the Gibson ES-335.
It features a distinctive double-cutaway hollow body.
Inside the body, the central section where the pickups and bridge are mounted is solid wood, known as the center block. The sides are hollow, featuring violin-style F-holes.
This structure, intermediate between a solid-body guitar and an acoustic guitar, defines the semi-acoustic guitar style.
The appeal of semi-acoustic guitars lies in their superior feedback resistance compared to fully acoustic designs, making them perfectly suitable for rock music.
Indeed, many artists use them in rock bands.
The body features a classic combination: maple for the top, sides, and back; mahogany for the neck; and rosewood for the fingerboard.
The design featuring F-holes combined with the sunburst finish gives it an old-school look.
It's equipped with two humbucker pickups.
The sound is rich and sweet yet maintains a tightness.
The semi-hollow construction and thinner body provide good feedback resistance, so it handles distortion well.
This is a high-quality instrument, reflecting Terada Gakki's deep expertise in hollow-body guitar craftsmanship.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod and neck condition are good.
The body and finish show overall sun fading, with some dullness on the metal hardware.
The pickguard has black linear scratches, and there are scratches near the neck pickup.
There are dents on the cutaway, elbow area, near the bridge, and near the endpin. Paint cracks are visible on both neck joint areas on the body sides.
Additional dents and scratches are present, with similar marks visible across the entire back of the body.
Dents are also present on the headstock top.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were observed.
