From Two of the Most Respected Names in the Business
The Vintage T comes to you from the mind of amp guru Dave Friedman, and the hands of legendary guitar builder Grover Jackson. Both men have been working with music's elite for decades designing the gear they rely on day in and day out. With the Vintage T, Friedman designed a T-style instrument that utilizes the tried and true tonewoods of ash and maple. From the first time you play it, you'll revel in this guitar's resonance, chiming highs, defined mids, and strong lows. And a pair of Classic 90 single-coil pickups ensures that your Friedman Vintage T sings with the sweet tone that the name Friedman proudly stands for.

Two long legacies of quality instruments
For decades, Dave Friedman has been modding and building music equipment for such luminary artists as Eddie Van Halen, Jerry Cantrell, and Steve Stevens. And Grover Jackson has been building high-performance guitars for thousands of players around the world. Both of their meticulous attention to the needs of the artists and details of their designs have culminated in some extremely popular gear that can be found in studios and on stages around the world. These Vintage T guitars share that same passion for excellence, allowing you to own an instrument designed by the best, crafted by the best, and that the best would be proud to play.
Legendary design
The T-style, slab-bodied design was one of the first electric guitars ever. Over 60 years later, that body's shape is still one of the most popular throughout the world. The simplicity of the Vintage T's contour delivers a streamlined look and feel. Its voice is balanced and defined, thanks to its alder construction. And the maple neck bolts firmly into the body for the unmistakable tonal spank that can be found in almost every Sweetwater guitarists' arsenal. And because every guitar is Plek'd from the Friedman factory, your Vintage T is sure to play like a dream.
Custom, handmade electronics
The Vintage T's electronics were engineered to be a straight-forward affair, with tones that can go from chimey and clear to a full-out snarl for a wide variety of styles. The two Friedman Classic 90 single-coil pickups wonderfully blend the punch and personality of other single-coil designs with higher output and a humbucker-like midrange grunt. You'll have full control of your guitar's voice from each pickup's own volume and tone controls. And the internal CTS pots and Orange drop capacitors deliver the purest signal possible.
