Montelovesco Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 So this is the Vanguard I recieved two weeks ago. Bought it via CL/Vancouver from a real nice guy for under 1k CAN$ (shipping included and with shipping a fair price for Germany, especially because you don't see this model around here that often). He even crossed the border to ship it via USPS, so we saved 200 CAN$.The guitar is in very well condition (of course not THAT mint as stated from the seller, but I guess that's normal). Some minor dents on the neck, some scratches on the back. Setup was not sooo good, the neck pick up caused some dead spot since he wasn't adjusted right. The finish is cool, makes you wanna go "disco!".After correcting the PU the guitar plays and sounds great. Not so 'heavy' and 'in the the face' as my P90 Special from the early 90ties which I probably gonna sell now, but more 'open' and 'lighter' (I am sorry, I am not so good in that sound describing lyrics). But I am still waiting for the Lollars to put them in. We will see (or hear) what they can do.The mid boost is cool and works quite well even if the switch is not placed very practically - IMO to close to the knobs. But anyway, that on is a keeper. For now ;-)
Disturber Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Gotta love the Vanguards. I have one exactly the same. It's a work horse, no bells and whistley, just 100% tone.
specialk Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Great one! Glad you found somebody who would ship it to you and that it made it there in one piece.
ghamerinfrance Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 A loverly one, enjoy the quality of the sound only an artist can produce...
