Hi all,

A friend of mine has a prototype electric guitar made by Vanden for sale. It's a solid body PRS shaped with bookmatched flame top and flame neck even and a set of active EMG's in HSS config. All pickups are individually switched and the neck is gorgeous. Previous owner has abused the guitar so many scratches and dings etc.

It appears Vanden specialises in making for Martin Taylor these days and only acoustic instruments feature on his site. So how does an older electric with active EMG's stack up? Is it worth anything? My friend is asking for £850...



Mike Vanden's instruments are classics. He designed the Mimesis pickup which was sold to Fishman and became the Rare Earth. He has made jazz guitars, solids and some other stuff. He's very highly regarded and the instrument is probably worth rescuing.
