The history of Vintage®
The Vintage® guitar brand, guided throughout by the remarkably proactive team at JHS® situated in Garforth, Leeds, England, has achieved more respect in 25 years than some brands could only hope for in twice that time.
Vintage has earned an excellent reputation with musicians around the world since the launch of the first Encore® Vintage Series VC1 in 1995, receiving first class magazine reviews commenting on their outstanding build, quality, playability, sound and above all…price.
As a brand name, Encore®, the ‘Precursor’ to the Vintage brand, has started millions of guitar players on their journey. Today, the Encore brand, which covers acoustics, electrics, and basses, is sold alongside Vintage in over 140 markets around the world.
Dennis Drumm JHS Managing Director comments, “So, how did it all begin?... Since the heady days of the beat boom in the mid 60’s with the birth in 1965 of the firm John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd., (now commonly referred to as JHS®) the creator, owner and worldwide distributor of the Vintage® brand, has been at the forefront of bringing affordable guitars to the market.
The company’s founder, the eponymous John Hornby Skewes, was a driven ‘ideas man’ with a keen eye on quality and value, who in the early years was responsible for bringing some now quite funky and collectable 'early days' electric guitar brands to the UK like Kasuga, Terada, Zenta and Hondo which were made by factories which went on to become the producers of some very famous brands, some still active to-day.
