Here we have another fine example of circa 1970s-1980s Japanese craftsmanship. Vantage was one of many brands to come out of the Matsumoku plant and, I believe, made for the Canadian market.
There is a lot to like about this Vantage guitar that has been "rescued" according to the seller with upgrades including EMG pickups, Bigsby Tremolo, LSR roller nut, etc.
In my experience these guitars are great players when stock original so I suspect that this one would be even nicer.
Currently Listed for $450 Canadian.

- Solar Powered Lazar Beam Guitar. Jagster In Red
guitarz.blogspot.com: I cannot quite read the headstock on this Jagster. Duncan? Mincan? It looks like a nice enough and affordable take on the design. Just $225. I'll let the seller explain the rest: "Solar Powered Lazar Beam Guitar! Never used,...
- Rickenbacker 4001 Clone Bass Made In Japan. Matsumoku? Ibanez? Greco? Snowman?
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here is a really nice example of a Rickenbacker clone just hanging out in the snow. I'm not sure if it's a testament to the Japanese build quality that it can endure the Canadian winter, or if the seller believes...
