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 forgot to add my serial #! smh...

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.

I have a vantage made in Indonesia with a model number Vis-4G/ could you tell me the statistics
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 bought a Vantage Avenger in the early eighties. Not sure which model it was .Similar to the AV 310 natural finish but with 2 Humbuckers, master tone , volume and 3 way switch. Coil split, hard tail bridge and brass nut. Still have this guitar after 40 years .Recently refurbished still plays well.
Vantage e 705357, cant find any information can you help model type, year....
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.
