Samick kept the classic Avenger X (and later reissued the AV), while re-creating the VLP Spirit as the DL, and the VSH as the 635V. Coincidentally, Samick had a relationship with Matsumoku dating back to the 1970s, where they were tutored by the Japanese manufacturer, so they were a fitting new home for Vantage. MTI cancelled their rights to it in April 1989. Some time that same year, Samick began building Vantages and then purchased the Vantage trademark. This continued until Matsumoku closed in early 1987.
By 1979, their guitars were mostly unique designs made exclusively by Matsumoku in Japan.įor more information on Japanese Vantages, see: and. The very first known model was a re-branded Hondo HLP called the V-100, most likely sold around 1978. MTI was formerly known as Unicord, Inc., which created the Univox and Westbury brands. Vantage was a brand started by Music Technologies, Inc. These are the models that were produced in Korea.
