  6. 12 string vantage

    I’ve got a Vantage VA 12, serial #8912000002. I can’t seem to find anything about it anywhere!!! Anyone got anything good or bad to say about it?? maybe tell me what its worth?

      From: Wayne Davies

      : I’ve got a Vantage VA 12, serial #8912000002. I can’t seem to find anything about it anywhere!!! Anyone got anything good or bad to say about it?? maybe tell me what its worth?

      I also own a Vantage VA-12 guitar, and it plays nicely. When I first saw it, it had a damaged neck at the shoe area. I removed the fret board and the complete neck, made the repairs and put it back together again. It’s played nicely ever since, and has a good flat neck all up the fret board. I noticed a new VA-12 being sold at a music store near me, and it was being sold around the price of $400 CDN., and that was without any type of preamp/pickup installed on it. I laid out another $200 plus dollars and put a sound preamp/pickup on it, and boy did that bring out the sounds through my amp. Nice guitar, soundly made, but watch out for over tightening the strings, as this will damage the neck at the shore area. This is what caused the damage to the one I now own, and bought cheap for that very reason. Luckily, I know how to repair and maintain my own guitars correctly. Cheers Wayne.

    I have recently purchased a Vantage ‘Ghost’ (a copy of the Gibson "The Paul") and have loaded it with new Seymour Duncans but find the tinny high end remains. Any suggestions of any mods I could do that might help, short of experimenting with different strings?

  25. Hi, just bought a very strange acoustic Vantage Guitar. Saw it, bought it. I can’t find any information on or about it, because it has a really nice rosetta and no sound hole. Perhaps you can help me finding some informations about it. I think it’s a really cheap guitar, because of this Hi-Z/Lo-Z outputs I only know by Stagg or something like that. But netherless I would be very happy, when you could help me…

    1. Vantage Guitars.
      Mike Newson

      As with all guitar makers… they have low end and high end models. Unfortunately, you won’t find much info on Vantage guitars online. And since many shops employ people that can’t really spot a good guitar, because they don’t recognize the brand they assume it’s a cheap guitar.
      I picked up my Vantage guitar VS-25SCE in a small guitar shop in Vancouver BC Canada, in the 90’s run by a fellow who played for many popular bands along the west coast down into California. He had all kinds of makes of electric and bass guitars, but only sold Vantage acoustics, simply cause that’s what he loved. He grabbed a guitar off the wall, played it and I bought it. I paid nearly $600 for mine. It’s a solid cedar top with beautiful accents front and back. It sounds awesome still and rarely ever tune it. The pick up isn’t great, but with the right off-guitar mixers and/or pedals, it can sound great too. Unplugged, I would match it up against my friend $1500 Martin any day. So, don’t underestimate your find, if it sounds good and you enjoy playing it, it’s worth more than you could sell it for.
