Hola, soy fan de vantage desde hace 30 años, tengo mi maravillosa 828G del 92 y hace poco adquirí una Avenger 315 del 87, versátiles super estratos coreanas, calidad muy poco conocida en el mundillo.
Felicidades por el trabajo realizado,
Gracias a esta página he podido datar mis guitarras y además se da voz a una marca muy infravalorada.

Meant to ask in previous post, what was the RRP for the 635V, I think I paid £250ish new in probably 1993/4 does that sound about right?

Also I have a yellow sticker that says 635V.WR just below the strap holder on the back, were there other models or is that just the full model name?

Thank you.

Got a cherry red V635 from Merchant City Music in Glasgow mid-90s, still got it here and it's still a beauty, all stock bar one replaced tuner that snapped when it fell over.

Thanks for the info!

Just finished restoring my X77, what a beast. Next is my AV330MX. And one day my AV325. Glad you're still here.

I have a bandaged four string with active electronics. My serial number does not reveal any information on this bass. It takes two 9 volt batteries because it has a preamp. I have owned this base for over 40 years. To pick up, 24 fret through the body neck and a brass nut with a brass bridge. LED indicator for low battery. Wish I could send a picture of this awesome bass.

I just inherited what i think is a vs600 from '79 or '80. The body needs a little TLC, and all new electronics and P'ups, as well as hardware.

I will post videos of the process on my youtube channel, as well as here.

I cherish this guitar with all my heart and was so happy to find this site.

take care!

Mine is a Vantage Avenger X-77t, in black.
I had a DiMarzio pickup installed right next to the original (unknown) one, back in the mid 80's. The new pickup also has a switch for single coil/humbuck, like the old.
Just had the innards and the fretboard cleaned, after not having used it for 37 years.
The sustain of the body is amazing!

I was under the misconception that it was made by the same Japanese company that made (or makes?) the first Squier guitars, so learning about Matsumoku was really interesting.
Thank You for making this site!

Still own a Vantage VS695. First owner, bought it in 1981. Also recently bought a Gibson Les Paul Classic and a Fender Strat but honestly, my good old Vantage offers very versatile sounds and best playability !

Thank you for all the info. I have had my guitar since 16 yrs of age, thanks to this page I now know its a Vantage 310 solid wood. Maple neck. Has sentimental value More than anything. But interested about monetary value.

Thank you to the site owner, Johan, for compiling all this in-depth information. Especially the history of the Matsumoku operation. A huge part of guitar history, virtually hidden until recently. If you found the info on this site useful, then send him a donation. It's worth it to have this resource.

I just picked up an Avenger AV-310 natural for next to nothing. (they had no idea what they had) It's all original and just needs a nut and a good cleaning. Can't wait to get it rockin again!

Today I picked up a Vantage electric bass, but I don't have much information about it. What I know is that it is a 5-string model, the body is sunburst red, has 3 knobs, and has a "MADE IN INDONESIA" label, 24 frets, and a screw-on neck.

I've got a small shop & sold Vantage in the 90's. 2 things I still have and don't see listed. 1- A 6 string bass, may be a 960, but have to check, AND 2- a jumbo acoustic VJA-2CEQ. I also have 2 friends who I sold different versions of the same models to. No serial # on acoustic--no internal stickers or #'s. sticker w/place of origin gone. sticker with model # getting hard to read. Purchased around 2000.

I have a Vantage guitar with made in Korea below the serial number. I found this guitar while cleaning out an attic. Some of the numbers appear to be worn off. Initially I believed it to be VS 1. I realized today, about a year later, it looks like maybe a lower case x before the V and the 1 is probably a 6, possibly a G. Serial number is 94010055. This guitar has blown my mind. Put new strings on it as soon as I got home and it instantly became the guitar I play everyday. Would like to know a little more about it....

I have an Avenger 310 that I got used in Dec. 1981 from Sam Ash in New Haven, CT. Still plays like a dream- low action, no buzzing, frets in reasonably good shape. I've done bad things to this guitar over the years but now it's back in it's original configuration. A little worse for wear with 4 holes drilled in various parts of the body but it's the giving tree of guitars for me. I've learned so much from this thing that I don't think I'll ever let it go. Probably worth next to nothing anyway lol!
s/n 1020135 (earliest one I've ever seen), 22 frets, truss rod adjustment where neck meets the body.
