Version 2.2
Vantage 418T
A korean vantage from the late 80’s early 90’s, a true hairmetal guitar,plays extremely well, but the pickups
are not that good, sound very muddy.
He is equiped with the by me personally hated floyd rose, or something that resembles it, there is stamped
“MFG floyd rose patents”  on the bridge.
These floyds were made under license by  matsumoku and used on their japanese and later on their korean
models, and called bendmaster FT by them.
Offcourse i damned that thing to bits when restringing this guitar, even the fact that i blocked it before i
started didn’t helped at all, kept a hell of a job to get the damn thing in tune.
But whe that was finally achieved it stays in tune very well, this guitar is hardly been played on so the floyd
is in perfect condition, no worn knife edges.
And completely in line with a tradition of Matsumoku,(coiltap/phase switches when possible) the humbucker
is splitable due to the use of a push/pull pot for the bottom tone pot.
