Extreme sonic flexibility





Guitarists who want to coax a multitude of tones from a single instrument will find plenty of room for sonic exploration with the Friedman Vintage T, thanks to its versatile pickup configuration. In the neck is a Friedman Classic P-90, which was inspired by the golden age of rock 'n' roll for a snarling tone with loads of presence. At the bridge, you'll find a Friedman Classic, an Alnico V-loaded pickup that deftly combines the best of vintage and modern humbucker tones. The Vintage T includes two 500k volume knobs, two 500k tone knobs, and a 3-way pickup selector toggle switch. Sweetwater guitarists have yet to discover every tone that the Vintage T is capable of ? its sonic potential is unlimited.





Rock-solid hardware





The Vintage T is replete with high-end hardware. Its Gotoh SD91 locking tuners combine vintage styling with modern reliability, making string changes a piece of cake. Its vintage-style Gotoh 510 tremolo not only facilitates the gamut of expressive sonic textures, but also enables you to unleash screaming harmonic squealies and subterranean dive-bombs with tuning stability that rivals a double-locking trem. The Vintage T also includes an eye-catching PVC pickguard and classic witch hat knobs.
