Vanquish Custom Build Guitars - Handmade In England

Post by crowhue »

Just thought Id post to see if anyone has encountered Vanquish guitars?

They are built to specification, in Cambridgeshire, not far from where I live. I met the guy who runs the firm, Adrian Hardman yesterday and he kindly let me try a few guitars including the Custom and Classic. Its great to know that there are still firms like this in England, still manufacturing quality instruments at not excessive (from £2350 including case) prices. They compete well with imports (eg PRS, Gibson etc) on price and mostly beat them on quality.

I think Guitarist Mag has had a few for review and given them their Choice award. We need to support guys like this with our next top end purchase and bring manufacturing back to this country!

Certainly looks nice! I haven't really considered getting a custom guitar before but it does sound appealing. You would have to have a lot of confidence in the person/people you trust to do the job though!

I do have a vested interest, but yeah, do support and take interest in the guys who spend their time building beautiful one off custom guitars.

They look like Warrior guitars. Very similar from what I can tell.
