2017 Vines Artisan, Malaysian Blackwood/Carpathian Spruce
Silk-smooth playability and velvet in the voice make for a fine instrument. Our 2017 Artisan from Tony Vines fits that bill to a T. Tony’s chops as a player have molded his guitar designs from day one, and this particular model is tuned to the fingerstylist’s frequency with crisp note separation and a slim neck carve for deft left hand work. The mousse-dark set of Malaysian Blackwood for the back and sides with black inking catches the eye, and Tony paired that with a creamy Carpathian Spruce top and Bocote appointments for a soft study of dark and light. Bound soundport in the upper bout for a little boost for the player’s ear, and gold EVO frets for longevity.
This Vines Artisan is practically new, already smooth and articulate and colored by soft overtones in the upper register. A dyed-in-the-wool fingerstyle guitar.

Sweet trebles and smooth playability are the name of the game when it comes to our 2016 CX from Tony Vines. The classic combo of Indian Rosewood and Cedar gives the bass and mids an extra warm boost, and the voice overall has a lively energy to it that translates well into altered tunings. Tony’s CX design nudges the bridge to a sweeter spot on the top, giving the player extra color in the trebles that’s great for fingerstyle compositions and singer songwriter accompaniment.
This beauty is in excellent shape: nary a scratch on her. There’s also an arm bevel and soundport for creature comfort, and stylish hardshell case for protection that looks good, and keeps the CX looking good too. If you like slinky setups, this 2016 Vines CX has a delightful neck that plays very easily, even with a 25.5” scale. Available now!

Tony Vines has been building guitars for 26 years, and after a sabbatical he’s back with a vengeance. In 2000 Tony rededicated himself to playing the guitar and attributes his latest improvements in his instruments to his greater ability as a player. This guitar was custom-built for our shop with gold EVO frets, polyester finish, and Tintul bridge pins, and Tony insisted on passing through numerous sets of Indian Rosewood until he found the exact pair for this guitar; which he calls a perfect set. We elected to go with the Cedar top to add richness and beauty to this masterfully-built instrument, and the result is even richer and expressive than we’d hoped.

Tony Vines found some beautiful Honduran Rosewood, put it together with a rich-looking Redwood top, and out came a guitar with lots of spank and sparkle. This baby’s got great balance and rich tone. The side soundport give the player a little more of the sound. The Honduran has great figure and lovely sapwood drama. The Redwood top has lots of medullary rays and is well quartered for tone.

Here’s a great player from Tony Vines. The Quilted Sapelle is just beautiful and it’s matched with a sweet Cedar top to round out the tone nicely. The multi-part mahogany/maple neck adds another dimension. With this one I particularly enjoyed playing light fingerstyle or digging in for some bluesy vibes, but she also holds up to a vigorous strum. Quite versatile.

This is a very special custom Bella from Tony Vines Guitars. It is crafted from Malaysian Blackwood and premium Lutz Spruce. Lutz Spruce comes from the Kleanza watershed in British Columbia and is a hybridization of Sitka spruce, White spruce and sometimes Engelmann spruce. This unique wood has amazing clarity, warmth and color and features tight, consistent grain. The Malaysian Blackwood here has a natural center strip of sapwood down the back. Add to these stunning woods a carved neck heel, florentie cutaway, full vine inlay and an abalone top border and you have a very special custom Vines guitar. But this one also has a side soundport and a Baggs Dual Source pickup system. Wow!

Here Tony Vines has created a guitar that seems to embody the power of a 000-18 along with the refined fingerstyle sensibilities. Tony has made a name for himself building fine guitars with lovely touches. Here we have stunning figured Beeswing Mahogany, Adirondack Spruce and an armrest bevel to set this guitar apart from the pack. I also love the dramatic headplate and elegant cutaway. Most of all though we love the voice, it’s strong and clear with just a hint of growl when pushed hard. A beautiful Vines guitar.

Guitar making is a rewarding expression of art and craftsmanship. Talking about guitars and the process of guitar making is always a joy and pleasure. After nearly 30 years, my passion for tone and artistry is expressed in every hand-crafted guitar I create.
Being a musician myself, I have spent a lot of time playing and recording my own guitars. This musicians perspective has been the single most influential force in my guitar making career. The unmistakable playability and voice of the ARTISAN CX and Colorado models are a reflection of my artistry as both a craftsman and musician.
After thirty years I am more excited about guitar making than ever, and I invite you to experience Tony Vines Guitars.
Blessings, Tony
