I need to know about a Vantage classical guitar that was made in Korea ( bought there) Model VC 20CE and serial no. 01100006. What's the value and authenticity? Any good buy?
Thanks, Moira

I have just bought one of these amps second hand. I am not sure what the two gain controls are for or how to use them. Can anyone help me with how to set the controls? i.e. what knob does what?
Park amps were an off-shoot of Marshall, back in the 80's. Discontinued with the introduction of the MG series of practice amps.
Anyway, the pre-gain is considered your distortion gain. Turn it up, and turn the post gain down. For a "classic" overdrive tone, turn the pre gain down, and turn the post gain up. Post gain is basically a master volume.

Can anyone advise whether it's worth spending say £300 on improving a Jap strat, or should I just put the money towards buying a more expensive USA strat ? Is the quality of the Jap strat fretboard/body good enough to benefit from new hardware/pickups ?
Japanese made Strats were all the reissue models (50's, 60's, etc), and are actually very nice. The parts are all made in the US, and shipped to Japan for assembly. Rather, WERE shipped, they don't do the Japanese models anymore. Yes, the quality is good enough to benefit from new pickups, but if it's a reissue, then you probably won't need to.
Hi, you seem to know a lot about Jap Strats. I've got one, with a Floyd Rose-like tremolo bridge but with the inscription FENDER on it. Also on the head there locking-screws to lock the strings. Do you know this model and if so, is it possible to replace the bridge with a different one, because this one is not 100%.
(the series nr is E694872)
Thanks
You've probably got either an HRR Strat or a Floyd Rose Classic japanese model. YOu can swap the bridge out for any Floyd Rose style...even for an Ibanez if you want. It may require a change of the bridge posts, so make sure whichever model you get comes with them.

The inventor of the Electric Guitar is Mr. Terauchi Takeshi. His father was an electrician and he was tinkering with the radio set to connect it with the guitar. I do not know the exact date but it was invented in Japan. I just met this guy last week.
He was 64 and still playing concerts. A really kind and nice guy who thinks of others before himself.
I did not read the follow ups so I do not know if you already knew.
the bottom part of my classical guitar broke off the part that holds the strings together, i have reason to believe its been tampered with, but i was wondering if any one knew what kinda of glue i could use to put this part together. thanks

I suggest you check out ebay's auction to see if there are some gears like yours for sale, so you can have an idea of the current price they have on the market. You can also check on Harmony Central's gear classifieds. Also be aware of the weight of your units because as it affects the total price when shipping.

I'm not sure, but could anyone tell me if the serial number CY98109766 is a fender, or a squier, or is it just fabricated out of thin air? If anyone could help me, I'd appreciately it greatly.

Is it correct to measure the quality of a tube preamp by the quantity of the tubes it possess? I mean, a tube preamp will in every case, be better than other that contains less tubes?
no ya don't just count tubes, it's all about the design and tone you are after, are oranges better than apples just cuz ya have more of them ?

pre and post gain.

Play with them, you'll see what I mean.

Re: repairs
I have an ovation guitar, how do I remove the freat board with minimum damage
Re: repairs
just use superglue on the bridge, make sure you scrape off all the old glue first
to remove the fretboard use a heat gun or hot blowdryer and 'peel' it off with a wide wood chisel
