I put a great deal of time, effort and attention to detail into every guitar that I build. Since I have no tolerance for cutting corners, you can rest assured that you’re getting my best. It goes without saying that I proudly stand behind every guitar that I sell.

VVG has happy owners in countries spanning the globe that can attest to that:

~"A great looking, sounding, and playing guitar! The quality of this Strat is FAR better than equal or higher priced American Fender guitars."

-Virgil’s Vintage Relic Aged TV Mahogany Stratocaster Bare Knuckle Pickups.

~"Outstanding. Amazing build quality and tone. Sounds better than my custom strats." - Virgil's Vintage Relic Aged 1962 Stratocaster Fiesta Red.

~"Stellar guitar and service. QC was phenomenal on this order. I own a Berly, a Nash, Rittenhouse, rock n roll relics, and a palir. Virgil may have out done all of them. The relic is better than all and playability leaves nothing to be desired. Certainly my new #1 t style and maybe my fave overall".

-Virgil's Vintage Relic Aged Early 60s Telecaster Salmon Pink

~"Great communication, really cares about his work and being thorough. In my opinion, it's far better than a custom shop and I've owned plenty and this is a fraction of the cost. Truly an inspiring guitar to play. Thanks again Virgil! A+ Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to playing it."

-Virgil's Vintage Relic Aged 1954 Blackguard Telecaster
