Victory-BK Classic Series : Super Cheap Vee

7 years ago

I have always fancied a Vee but I was reluctant to spend a lot of money on one as the genre of music I play at my small club and bar gigs is more Folk and Country and the image of the Vee is not exactly suitable. Never the less, at home I like to rock out and the shape appeals to me.

I have several Harley Benton guitars and they have all, with one exception been very good value for money so on a whim I ordered the Victory-BK classic. When it came, I was shocked. It is beautifully made, light, has a first class paint job and low, fast action. Even the strings were good although not a name brand. The neck shape is chunky but not overly so.

I sounds nice clean which surprised me a lot and when I add distortion, it rocks like a beast!

Two things I would change, the Tuners are effective but generally poor as you might expect and will go. I think some serious pickups would improve the tones but I am not sure about that, it sounds pretty good with the stock pups.

One regret, the headstock design, I don?t hate it but if only it had a point design, similar to the original Vee type it would be amazing.

If you are thinking about a Vee, buy one of these, it is unbeatable for the crazy low price.
