As JHS gears up for a landmark 2025, celebrating its 60th anniversary alongside the 30th year of its acclaimed Vintage guitar brand, it’s unveiled a significant addition to its popular Coaster Series: the offset-bodied Vintage V50 electric guitar.
Coaster Series Guitar Packs
This exciting new model joins the existing Coaster Series Guitar Packs, designed to provide aspiring guitarists and bassists with everything they need to kickstart their musical journey.
However, the V50 is also available as a standalone instrument for those who prefer to build their rig piece by piece.
What’s in the Pack?
The comprehensive Coaster Series Guitar Packs, now featuring the V50, include:
- A Vintage branded padded carry bag for safe transport.
- A guitar strap for comfortable playing.
- A guitar cable for connecting to an amplifier.
- A guitar pick.
- A clip-on tuner for accurate tuning.
- A spare set of strings.
- A Kinsman 10-watt combo amplifier, featuring connectivity options, gain control, push-button drive/clean selection, and a 3-band EQ.
The Vintage V50: A Closer Look
The V50 itself boasts a striking aesthetic, available in Boulevard Black, Vintage White, and Gloss Red finishes, complemented by a 3-ply tortoise shell scratchplate and black control knobs.
Key features include:
- An offset solid basswood body offers a comfortable playing experience.
- A rosewood fingerboard for smooth playability.
- A hardtail bridge for enhanced sustain and stability.
- A pair of Alan Entwistle X2C Double Coil pickups, delivering a wide range of versatile tones and rich harmonics.
Value and Quality
JHS emphasizes that the Vintage Coaster Series offers exceptional value, particularly with the addition of the V50. “With so many excellent appointments normally found on guitars, and accessories at much higher price points, the Vintage Coaster Series Guitar Packs offer a lot more than just an exciting choice as a first ‘serious’ rock guitar outfit,” they stated.
