Vanzandt STV-R2 ~Fiesta Red~ #10510 【3.44kg】 Made in Japan 【GSB019】

The model we’ve just received is the STV-R2—one of Vanzandt’s most popular classic models!

It features the classic ’60s spec with an alder body and rosewood fingerboard, but its craftsmanship clearly sets it apart from other manufacturers.

The Main Conduct neck, crafted from hard maple, is exceptionally sturdy and resistant to warping thanks to unique rod installation techniques.

Not only is it resistant to warping and built to last, but it also prevents string vibration from escaping, resulting in rich harmonics and sustain.

This delivers exceptional sound quality.

The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is so thin that even the slightest impact can cause a scratch. It also has the same texture as a vintage guitar.

Because it is so thin, it maximizes the wood’s natural resonance, and its overwhelming response—especially in clean to driven tones—is something that’s not easily replicated.

The neck also features the same lacquer finish, giving it a smooth, natural feel as if you were touching the wood directly.

We guarantee a fast and stress-free playing experience.

As for the all-important sound, you’ll experience an overwhelming and exquisite tone the moment you strum a single chord.

The 100% handmade, hand-wired BLUES pickups deliver a sound that’s both full-bodied and crisp.

With a midrange that’s more pronounced than the VINTAGE PLUS, and an exquisite blend of power and sustain, it’s the perfect match for bluesy tunes—just as the name suggests!

Of course, when you crank up the drive, it produces a tone that’s both edgy and rich, with a smooth, resonant sustain—it feels so good you’ll want to keep playing forever.

We can confidently say this model is worth trying for anyone looking for an ST-style pickup.

No compromises were made on the aesthetics either; the glossy finish—clearly thin—creates an outstanding vibe.

This model features the incredibly cool “Fiesta Red” color—a fiery red!

Unlike the metallic reds found on cars, it strikes the perfect balance—not overly flashy.

Surprisingly, these are quite rare, and this is our first shipment in several years.

Please be sure to try out a Vanzandt guitar—the pinnacle of Japanese-made guitars.

We look forward to your inquiries.

[About Vanzandt]

Guitars on the market can generally be divided into “Vintage” and “Modern” styles.

The good old vintage guitars still produce sounds that captivate us, and it’s no wonder that renowned artists are desperate to get their hands on them.

Modern guitars offer ample power to withstand even the heaviest music scenes, along with sturdy construction and distinctive looks…

Furthermore, manufacturers continue to release a variety of ambitious new models that thoroughly pursue the comfortable playability sought by live performers, aiming to become the new standard.

If asked to choose one style for Vanzandt guitars, they would be classified as “Vintage,” but their overwhelming level of craftsmanship makes it a shame to simply label them as “Vintage-style guitars.”

The craftsmanship team’s relentless obsession with “sound.” They pour their utmost dedication into each instrument to achieve nuances and a response that rival vintage models—even in brand-new instruments.

In a sense, these are “Neo Vintage” guitars. Here lies their answer to the question of what an “electric guitar” should be.
