New V2 Guitars, Basses from Vaccaro

June 06, 1999

The Vaccaro Guitar Company is launching The V2 series of electric guitars and basses with suggested retail prices starting at $665.95. The initial V2 series line will include The X-Ray guitar, Generator X guitar, and X-Ray bass. Vaccaro plans on expanding this line further with a 5 string version of the X-Ray bass and other new models. All V2 series instruments feature the patented Vaccaro encased aluminum V-neck proprietary to the Vaccaro line, which Vaccaro says delivers greater note definition, defined tone, and improved sustain over conventional wood necks.

"We felt it was the time to bring our break through technology to the masses. Competition is strong and buying trends are towards easily affordable priced instruments. Our innovative design stands alone at these price points." states Henry Vaccaro, Jr. President of Vaccaro.

The V2 series will be debuting at the Summer NAMM show. Also expected to be on display is the Highwayman acoustic guitars featuring the V-neck.
