This 1980 Vantage VS600, also known as "The Witch," is a rare solid-body electric guitar produced by the renowned Matsumoku factory in Japan between the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is highly regarded by collectors for its high-quality Japanese craftsmanship, versatile electronics, and distinctive "string-through" body design that provides exceptional sustain. 

Specifications and Condition

  • Condition: Very Good showing normal players wear, scratches and chips but overall presents nicely
  • Body: Mahogany with a laminated maple center block and walnut stripes (earlier models may lack the walnut stripes).
  • Neck: Three-piece laminated mahogany or maple, detachable (bolt-on) with a comfortable C-shape profile.
  • Fingerboard: Rosewood with 22 frets and a 25.5-inch scale length.
  • Pickups: Dual Vantage #450PF custom-engineered humbuckers with Alnico magnets.
  • Controls: One volume, one tone, a three-way pickup selector, and a specialized coil-tap switch for "metallic" single-coil tones.
  • Hardware: Chrome-plated two-way adjustable combination bridge/tailpiece and sealed Vantage tuners.
  • This guitar sounds great, the neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been set up low and comfortable. The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from abuse and it plays beautifully up and down the fretboard with no dead spots or fretting out.
