Great guitar and price, in fact, vintage Vintage!
For the price point, this is a remarkably well made, beautiful sounding guitar. Out of the box the set up was good, intonation spot on and once amplified, it had plenty of tone variation across the 3 pickups. The finish is great and I just can't figure how Vintage can make such a classic looking, great sounding instrument so well and so cheaply. Whether you are a seasoned player (as am I) looking to extend the range of guitars you have, or a beginner looking for a great sounding, great looking instrument that plays like a dream, then look no further. This really is a must buy kind of guitar

You probably won’t get the strap
Guitar is great, almost perfect with only a little colour bleed here and there. As others have said, the knobs sit quite high off the body, but it’s not an issue. The one frustration is that, like a number of other reviews I’ve seen, I did not get the strap or the tuition leaflet. If offered as part of what you’re buying, then it should be in the box. Trying to get a sensible answer from Argos has proved to be infuriating. It all comes back to “take it back to the shop.” So it’s likely I’ll have to do a 2nd trip to take it back, have the conversation for the umpteenth time, wait for the items to be ordered, then make a 3rd trip to collect it. Three times the journey time and petrol just because they can’t sort it over the phone. Absolute joke.

Nice Looking Guitar
Nice looking guitar. Pick ups a little under powered.

Great guitar
I iwn several guitars including Gubson and Fender. I really liked the look of this guitar so I added it to my collection. I can honestly say it plays brilliantly. Obviously not the build quality of high end guitars but very very playable. Highly recommended

Great Guitar but Protracted Purchase!
Ordered the Vintage Union Jack Semi-Acoustic Electric Guitar c/w Union Jack guitar strap on 03/03/2026. Received a "collection ready" email on 06/03/2026 and duly collected from my local Billingham Argos on Sunday 08/03/2026. Took the item home, and on subsequent unpackaging found that the "inclusive" guitar strap was missing. I immediately telephoned Argos customer support and, after ignoring exhaustive & annoying web-centric diversions and recommendations, I eventually got to speak with an Argos representative. She informed me that the furnishing of a replacement guitar strap was not possible, and that the only recourse was for me to physically return the item to Billingham Argos. Following this directive, I duly returned the guitar to Billingham Argos where a member of staff informed me that, as specific spare guitar straps where unavailable, the best/only solution would be for me to keep hold of my item and then return with it the following day once in receipt of a text message confirming to me that a replacement guitar was ready for exchange. So (Monday 09/03/2026) I consequently returned to Billingham Argos only to discover that the "replacement" guitar was also bereft of the itemised guitar strap. I was thus offered and accepted a full refund. However, as very disappointing this was, I was given a crumb if hope by Argos employee Pauline who, while not promising a positive outcome, said that she would do her best to obtain the missing strap, and call me if successful. Fully expecting to never again hear from Pauline, I thought that it might be mutually beneficial to email a "heads up" to JHS (the manufacturer/distributor/supplier of Vintage brand guitars) to inform them of this supply issue and who, to their credit, quickly responded with a promise to both investigate and update me of any resultant findings. Now, while to date no such resultant findings have been forthcoming, I did subsequently get a genuinely unexpected 'phone call from Pauline (Wednesday 17/03/2026) informing me that her quest to hunt down this elusive strap had proven successful. I consequently went back same day and re-purchased the guitar. Yay! The guitar? Impeccable build quality,. Perfect, blemish-free paint job & finish. Plays beautifully straight out of the box with no adjustments required. Sounds great, the volume & tone controls (pots) are pleasantly responsive, and the (unbranded) pickups definitely don't disappoint. One caveat, however, is that the control knobs themselves have been set far too high from the body surface. The bridge volume control, for example, hovers at a whopping 6mm while the remainder are about 4mm. As with all my other guitars (including 8 various Vintage models) the normal clearance is rarely more than 1mm, and while this clearance is technically adjustable, it is notoriously difficult to execute on this and other similar semi-acoustic models. In consequence, as such work is the domain of an experienced technician, thus rendering it definately above my pay grade, I'm going to have to live with it. Beautiful instrument nonetheless, well worth both the asking price and the hoops I had to jump through to eventually get it.

Very different to the Epiphone version, physical and visually. But it is unique in its own way and a beautiful looking guitar that plays well and sounds amazing. I own a few epiphone semi-hollows and this vintage semi-hollow is as good as the more expensive guitars i own. I was playing oasis and guns n roses with it hooked up to my boss me-80 effects pedal and output to a pa set up, it was loud, packed a punch. Sounded great. Im sure the neighbours agree!
