We are getting ready to move in Sept, and in the process I have been trying to dump as much surplus stuff that I've accumulated over the past 10 years here as possible. I came across some old magazines and discovered this November 1996 review of the Vantage 635TG & 679V in Guitarist magazine.

Since many here like a lot of the MIK post-Mats models I thought it might be of interest.

Thanks for the review, Barry!
If you don't have enough room for your guitars at your new home, I would liberally bear all costs to ship them in packets to my place! :D

Look, mate.... those Avengers will just slow you down so I think it would be better for your move if you just boxed 'em up and got rid, eh!

Hey... tell you what... I'll look after them until you're settled in! Cause that's what mates are for!!

:rofl:

See, Johann... that's how it's done; he's gonna send them to me now!!

:rofl:

And whereabouts are we shifting to, Barry? Moving to warmer climes.... like Australia?? :D

Another funny fellow! :lol:
Straylia? I wish.
No, but we are moving West and South of here, to St. Catharines, so the climate is a tad more moderate. I still have to deal with &*(*%$ snow though. But, we'll be a short walk to Lake Ontario and short drive to the municipal beach so it's gonna be good....if I survive the move! My wife forgets that I'm 17 years older than she, and 10 years older than the last time I moved. (sigh)

Best of luck, Barry- just moved recently myself, and it's a special kind of hell.
