egmond acoustic guitar model number 108sb made in korea

There seems to be only slight differences between the two models, it's really subtle. This guitar has plenty of honest playwear, and has aged gracefully over the years. more of checking in the finish but very little actual paint loss. It's durable! The pickguard has a tiny crack or two, but it's very common with the Egmonds of this time period. This one is mostly all original and plays wonderfully! I think the tuners are replacements though. It's set-up and ready to play! You don't see too many of these in the states, so this one is a really cool way to check out a vintage guitar with an interesting look, and a good build quality. I don't really like to deal with 0 feedback, or real low feedback bidders. Notably, there was only one neck-through model offered (the 928), which was a superstrat, unlike the neck-through models that Vantage is now known for (Coincidentally, Samick had built neck-through guitars in the style of those classic Vantages under various brand names during the early 1980s).I'd rather you build up your feedback and then come to me. At first, a new pointy, “reverse” headstock was used, but in 1991, all models returned to classic Vantage headstock designs. However, it was largely a new lineup, mostly consisting of contemporary “superstrats”. Samick kept the classic Avenger X (and later reissued the AV), while re-creating the VLP Spirit as the DL, and the VSH as the 635V. Coincidentally, Samick had a relationship with Matsumoku dating back to the 1970s, where they were tutored by the Japanese manufacturer, so they were a fitting new home for Vantage. MTI cancelled their rights to it in April 1989. Some time that same year, Samick began building Vantages and then purchased the Vantage trademark. This continued until Matsumoku closed in early 1987. By 1979, their guitars were mostly unique designs made exclusively by Matsumoku in Japan.įor more information on Japanese Vantages, see: and.

The very first known model was a re-branded Hondo HLP called the V-100, most likely sold around 1978. MTI was formerly known as Unicord, Inc., which created the Univox and Westbury brands. Vantage was a brand started by Music Technologies, Inc. These are the models that were produced in Korea.
