Vester VDN 735

It's a Korean-made acoustic!! Vester guitar from about 1990, Dreadnought body.
It has a cedar top, not sure whether solid, as it has a soundhole binding. The top is only raw polished and extremely thin and matte lacquered. The sides and back are made of a wood I know as Palisander, which here is laminated. Neck has 20 frets and a beautiful rose inlay made of whatever. The bridge is moustache-formed and has a split string rest. The strings are fiddled through the bridge instead of suspended with pins. Tuners are encapsulated and gold-coloured. The pickguard is very thin and slightly transparent red, with a marble pattern.
Modest black body binding. Neck consists of 2, head of 2 further pieces.

The Vester needs hard strings, 0,13" to be precise, and then it sounds top. Hard, deep, energetic bass, chords vibrate like Pavarotti singing, bright, hard and penetrating treble, very resonant body.

I find the string height a bit too high for the hard strings you have to deal with. When you look at the details of the wood you know it was not made of top material, 4 pieces for the neck and head, middle inside binding only for optical reasons (stops shortly behind the typical glimpse-inside-area, branch errors in the wood of the bridge and a lot of glue to look at inside.
However, the outcome is brilliant. You look at the guitar and fall in love with it, you play it and want to have it, that was the case with me.
I compared the sound to almost 20 other guitars, and there was only one extremely expansive Jumbo whith a horrible intonation that could make an equivalently wonderful sound.

Due to the special few-polishment and the thin, matte lacquer you don't see any damages. I don't see any. It's 12 years old and was used by a professional player before me, and it looks absolutely new.
And if there's as much glue between the pieces of wood as still stands out inside, I have no doubt it will resist a lot of torture... which I won't expose it to :-)
One of the tuners is a little sloppy now when there's no string attached, but if it's mounted, you don't feel or hear anything.
Holds tuning really well!

Does the company still exist? Has it ever existed?
AFAIH it's only a label for a cheap Korean manufacture that now builds something else.

I think I would not find another one of these rare things, and if I ever sell it, I'll buy that fat Jumbo. No, honestly, I love the sound, though the guitar is a bit hard to play, it intonates well, is loud, intensive and beautiful. I've ownes several acoustics and still own, and the sound is my absolute favourite. Maybe one day, I'll have the bridge remade so it will swallow three unwound strings, but on the other hand... I can use the electric one for bendings.
