Something a Little Different – Vintage REVO Galactica

If you’re looking for an electric guitar that offers something beyond the usual pickup configurations and conventional controls, the Vintage REVO Galactica deserves your attention.

Designed in collaboration with respected British guitar designer and electronics specialist Alan Entwistle, the Galactica is one of the more unusual instruments in the Vintage catalogue, combining striking styling with an exceptionally versatile electronics system.

This particular example is finished in the beautiful Cappuccino Burst, with a rich cream centre fading into deep brown edges, complemented by a striking red tortoiseshell scratchplate and chrome hardware.

It’s a lovely combination, with plenty of vintage character and a distinctive appearance.

Better still, our example is in near mint condition, showing only a handful of tiny cosmetic marks visible under close inspection.

Alan Entwistle Design – A Remarkable Range of Sounds

The Galactica is much more than an attractive offset-style electric guitar.

Its standout feature is the sophisticated electronics system developed by Alan Entwistle, offering an enormous range of pickup combinations and tonal variations.

Three Entwistle HFS63 mini double-coil pickups provide the foundation, delivering a broad tonal palette with the clarity and definition of smaller pickups alongside the fullness associated with humbuckers.

Rather than relying on a conventional five-way pickup selector, the Galactica uses individual slide switches for the neck, middle and bridge pickups, allowing the player to explore different combinations.

A separate phase switch adds further tonal possibilities, particularly when blending pickups.

It’s an arrangement that rewards experimentation, with sounds ranging from warm, rounded tones to bright, articulate cleans and more aggressive rock sounds.

The Entwistle ATN5 Tone System

Another distinctive feature is the ATN5 five-way rotary tone system.

Developed by Alan Entwistle, this control offers additional tonal shaping beyond the usual arrangements found on most electric guitars.

Combined with the individual pickup switches, phase switching and two roller tone controls, the ATN5 makes the Galactica an exceptionally flexible instrument.

There’s plenty here to explore, whether you’re looking for vintage-inspired sounds, unusual pickup combinations or something entirely your own.

For guitarists who enjoy experimenting with their tone, the Galactica offers a fascinating alternative to more conventional designs.

Beautiful Cappuccino Burst Finish

The Cappuccino Burst is one of our favourite features of this guitar.

The glossy finish moves from a warm cream centre through golden-brown tones to a rich, dark outer edge, giving the body plenty of depth.

The large red tortoiseshell scratchplate provides a wonderful contrast, particularly alongside the three chrome Entwistle pickups and vintage-style vibrato system.

The bound rosewood fingerboard features attractive double cross-bar inlays, adding another distinctive detail to the design.

It’s an instrument with plenty of personality, but one that still retains the familiar appeal of a classic double-cutaway electric guitar.

Quality Hardware Throughout

The Galactica features a solid okoume body paired with a gloss-finished maple neck and bound rosewood fingerboard.

The 25.5-inch scale length and 22-fret layout provide a familiar playing feel, making it easy to settle into despite the guitar’s unusual electronics.

Hardware includes Wilkinson E-Z Lok machineheads, designed to improve string security and tuning stability, together with a GraphTech nut and roller bridge.

The vintage-style vibrato system provides expressive pitch movement, while the roller bridge is designed to allow smoother string movement during vibrato use.

It’s a thoughtfully equipped guitar, with an impressive specification for its original price point.

Condition – Near Mint

This is a beautifully preserved example of the Vintage REVO Galactica, presenting in near mint overall condition.

The Cappuccino Burst finish retains a lovely deep gloss, and the guitar has clearly seen very little use.

There are just a few tiny cosmetic marks that can be found under close inspection, but nothing significant or particularly noticeable during normal viewing.

The neck, fingerboard, pickups and hardware all present very well, with only minimal signs of careful handling and use.

Overall, this is an exceptionally clean example that looks remarkably close to a new instrument.
