Vintage V65-30TH Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Offset Electric Guitar – Ventura Green
The offset electric has always been the guitar of choice for players who don't particularly want to follow the rules. Angular body, unconventional controls, a vibrato arm that invites mischief — it's a shape that has defined the sound of alternative, indie and experimental guitar for decades, and the Vintage V65-30TH is a genuine celebration of that tradition.
Built to mark Vintage's 30th anniversary, the V65-30TH is a limited edition instrument that brings together an American alder body, a pair of Alan Entwistle X90A soapbar alnico pickups, and a long-arm vibrato system — finished in Ventura Green, one of those colours that looks simultaneously retro and modern, and suits the offset body shape perfectly. It comes with a Vintage 30th Anniversary Deluxe Guitar Bag.
The Pickups
The Alan Entwistle X90A soapbar alnico pickups are the tonal heart of this guitar, and they're a well-considered choice for an offset instrument. Through a clean amp they produce the jangly, clear, slightly hollow character that offset guitars are known for — bright and articulate without being harsh. Push more gain through them and you get cutting, punchy overdrive that responds well to dynamics and pedals. Via the three-way selector switch and CTS pots with ATN5 selector, you have independent volume and tone control alongside three distinct pickup positions to work with.
This is a guitar that takes pedals particularly well — walls of fuzz, tremolo, delay and reverb all feel natural through the V65-30TH. It's equally at home playing jangly indie chords, drop-tuned alternative riffs, or feedback-soaked noise rock.
The Vibrato
The long-arm vibrato system is one of the defining features of the offset body design, and the one fitted here is a Vintage offset unit designed for hypnotic pitch manipulation with genuine tuning stability. Intonation is adjustable per string. Combined with the 43mm Graphtech NuBone nut, which minimises friction for smooth, reliable string bending and vibrato use, the guitar returns to pitch cleanly and consistently — something that offset vibrato systems don't always manage at this price point.
Neck and Feel
The neck is a one-piece maple with Vintage's classic soft C profile — comfortable, quick and familiar in the hand from the first moment you pick it up. The rosewood fingerboard runs at a 10" radius with 22 medium jumbo frets and dot inlays, and the 25.5" scale length gives you the classic, snappy string tension that suits the bright, clear character of the pickups. The Wilkinson WJ55 E-Z-Lok machine heads deliver reliable, stable tuning with a simple locking mechanism.
Who Is It For?
This is a guitar for players who want something genuinely different — not a Strat, not a Les Paul, not something they've seen a hundred times before. Whether you're into shoegaze, post-punk, indie rock, experimental music, or any style that benefits from the offset's inherent tonal character and visual presence, the V65-30TH-VG is a compelling, well-specified instrument. The 30th anniversary branding and Ventura Green finish make it a limited edition worth paying attention to.
