Vestax offers high quality guitars including one model that echos the classic designs of the 1940s and 1950s, as well as a semi-hollow electric model. The D´Angelico-Vestax Phil Upchurch model is a single cutaway New Yorker-style acoustic with bound body, two bound f-holes, bound headstock, three-per-side gold tuners, 22-fret bound ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlay, raised rosewood pickguard, adjustable rosewood bridge/´stair step´ rosewood tailpiece, floating humbucker pickup. Vestax´s Superior Limited Series semi-hollow GV-98 looks like a double cutaway Strat or PRS design, but features hollowed out tone chambers under the flamed maple top. The GV-98 has a Wilkinson VSVG (GG) tremolo bridge, two single coil/humbucker pickups, and 22-fret fingerboard.
