MIJ Vantage guitars. You can still find them relatively cheap. I find my VP-795 has worked it's way up to my number one. It has such a variety of tones. The MMK pickups are ceramic but they get a very sweet tone. It has mini switches for coil split and out of phase. It can get screaming high gain leads, can quack like a Strat, and everything in between. The neck is a dream. It has vintage frets which many don't like but I like them. The neck feels like silk. If you ever see a used one give it a try. You will be amazed. I paid $350 for it.

Kerry,
There have been a couple of these for sale recently here in ON!
I will have to keep my eyes open for one!

Yes.
That alone made the cork sniffers run & hide their heads in the sand.
Oblivious to the sonic bliss that awaits them at every twiddle of the knobs.

That happens a lot: bad press before something even gets off the ground because of a few influential reviews. Then years later, people flood back to it because they realize its strengths. No better examples than Marshalls Vintage Modern heads and Peavey Windsor amps. Dismissed at the start and now you cant hardly score one

Yep basically

Here is a nice Squier ( in fact many who bought them and the Strats said they are so nice that Fender had to raise the prices of them so the USA Fender's would sell) I got mine for like $279 before the popularity hit.

There are some sleeper guitars out there that are not real mainstream but can be favorites as I have 2 or 3.

First guitar was a 1978 Goya GS-40 which is a Gibson L6-S copy. I still have it and love it partly becuase it played such a huge role in my life for so many years. 24 frets, thin, fast neck, 6 position PU selector switch, all maple, lightweight....therefore the Gibson L6-S would be a great sleeper guitar too.

Yamaha RGX612S. 1987. Got it used shortly after that. 24 fret, unique double locking system where you don't have to castrate the strings. Has a lock on top of saddle. Works great, nice design, I added a midrange boost of unkown type. Centre pot becomes frequency of boost, bottom pot becomes amount of boost. SD Dimebag Pickup.
Yes, you can do that with a pedal but I can adjust this on the fly. No longer made, wish I could rememner what type it was.

L6-S. I prefer the black dot markers on the Goya.

I'll second a Gibson L6.

I have but one CV Squire at present.........and it is STELLAR for the $ --and even for 2 times the money

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Here is one of the Butterscotch blonde ones that came out a little later. I believe Squier swapped in Alnico 5 Pickups in it instead of the Alnico 3 in the Vintage Blonde Pine one like I bought.

And Both

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Sorry to post so many VIDEOS, But I really did like these guitars and had trouble deciding between the Vintage Blonde and this 3 COlor Sunburst CV 60's ( no Butterscotch for me)

I also had a choice between a CV 60's and my Faded SG which I got from Music Go Round instead. Man I wish I had gotten both,
Playing Starts at 12:30+

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I totally understand, Adrian, Back when I was adding basses, I had my Vintage Modified P bass, VM Jazz77, and Fender Steve Harris P, I was also open to buying one or 2 Classic Vibe Basses like these.

 

[Jethro Rocker]

I'll second a Gibson L6.

You have one? Which version, if yes?
