This is a large photobucket file but is worth the wait as it shows all of the great beauties I have recently attributed to my ongoing egas epidemic. Enjoy these awesome Electra and Uncle Matt beauties.
Any help in getting an ID on the Vantage model would be appreciated as I have not found any matches for it.

Wow! What a pictorial Arthur. VERY nice album.

As far as the Vantage it looks to be an Avenger with a variant electronics package.

Are you on the Mats forums? If not I'd be happy to post over there for you directing them here for a gander. Someone there must have a better idea than me on it.

I was thinking an Avenger model but did not find an exact match. The electronics look original but may have been a pro mod not certain. It is on the heavy side but plays great. I am not a member so any help is appreciated. Thanks for the comments. Arthur

My initial thought was Avenger as well FWIW but the electronics made me bite my tongue.

A crosslink over to a thread I posted over at the Matsumoku forums asking for additional eyes. Hopefully one of the gents there will have a better idea Arthur.

While posting there it crossed my mind that it might be a later model after Samick began building them. Plausible?

Is that an AP II PE 1000, or a 1500??

That is an astonishing line up, Arthur... absolutely astonishing! Where on earth do you find them all??
The Corsair looks good, as does the X165(?).... Ah, hell, they all look good!!

Not sure if you are directing this at Arthur or not, but it is a 1000 he picked up from our own Dr. Dave.

Now as far as where Dave finds these beauts... ???

Yes that is a beauty of an Aria 1000 I scored from Dr Dave. I have gotten several great guitars from him and he always finds the good stuff. The Electra Rick came from our own McBrat and that beauty of a X165PW anniversary came from Ozark Cannon. I have score several great instruments recently from our own forum members including a nice X420VS from J.D and the Jaccarunda prorotype LP and others from Mikes awesome collection so I am the lucky one indeed as I give them all thanks for giving me the opportunity to own such awesome instruments. The best stuff is always found here on the forums most times but you have to pull the trigger fast before they are gone. Thanks again to all. I am thinking of moving some of my none Electra guitars to finance more egas on my part so will post a few later in another post if anyone is interested. It is always hard for me to part with any instrument as I enjoy them all. Thanks again Arthur
