Egmond was never bought by Martin, they just ordered guitars to their own specifications. They bought the Swedish Levin factory and saw in the Netherlands an opportunity to build guitars on the basis of the reasonable price and quality of these Alpha guitars. Martin was looking to expand his production capacity in Europe. Alpha was already a brand of Egmond in the seventies, a series of generally nylon string guitars. After WWII it was brought to it's heights in the sixties by his 4 sons: the Egmond brothers, when they made 200.000 guitars a year with 200 workmen. The factory was already founded in 1936 by Uilke Egmond. Most sold were the Toledo's, cheap beginner guitars, the first guitars for many young boys like George Harrison and Brian May. These rejected guitars were not destroyed by Egmond, but received a plastic Alpha sticker on the headstock, which made the Vega logo invisible.Įgmond made a lot of guitars and many many models in their time: acoustic and electric guitars. Many guitars were already rejected by a controller in Holland who was trained in Nazareth. Only a couple of thousands Vega guitars left the factory in Best and were send to the USA in those years. It does not store any personal data.Between 19 Egmond made "Vega" guitars for C.F.
