VINCENT VF-9C CTM (2022)

VINCENT / 2022 Model VF-9C CTM

A player-oriented modern folk guitar that embodies the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship.

VINCENT is steadily gaining recognition in Japan. Among their lineup, the VF-9C CTM is a custom model that seamlessly blends practicality with musical expressiveness at a high level. The goal was to achieve both “reliability that allows immediate use in both live performances and recording” and “the natural tone characteristic of an acoustic guitar.” You’ll feel this design philosophy the moment you pick it up.
A distinctive feature is the fusion of a YAMAHA L-51-style pickguard and bridge shape with a headstock shaped by James Tyler, a master craftsman in the modern guitar world. This exquisite balance of tradition and modernity visually sets the instrument apart.
At the heart of its sound is the combination of a spruce top, which offers excellent dynamic range, and mahogany, which adds warmth and substance to the tone. It produces a tone with a quick attack, offering breadth and depth in chords, and combining delicacy and clarity in solos and arpeggios. Its appeal lies in its versatility—it faithfully captures the player’s expression, regardless of playing style.
Equipped with an LR Baggs M1 Active pickup as standard, it’s ready to perform on stage right out of the box. Even through a line output, it faithfully reproduces the natural resonance of the acoustic sound, ensuring the guitar’s inherent charm isn’t compromised during live performances or livestreams.
Crafted by listening closely to the player’s true voice, this Japanese-made instrument embodies the essence of a “modern guitar.” Precisely because this brand is still relatively rare on the market, this is a guitar you’ll want to get your hands on now.
This is the guitar I’d most recommend to players looking for a reliable instrument for live performances.
Please take this reliable instrument into your own hands and experience it for yourself.
