The X-77 body shape is unmistakable and I think it looks stunning in white.
This one's apparently all original and looks great! :wink2:

Speaking from experience, my X-77T (single pup tremolo) has a comfortable and smooth neck and takes you to your happy place very quickly. Hey it's a Vantage!
The only thing I'd change about mine is perhaps the colour, it's black.

So what's wrong with this one?
The same thing that seems to be afflicting Mats products here lately, the price!
CAD$625 :no:
No mention of a case neither.

One week later and no change.
The link he cites is for an Australian music store and the price shows there as $813.29 converted to CAD, BUT it also includes GST (goods & services tax)!

Not too realistic but I guess the seller is gonna hold out for that price! :look:

The good news: It's still available!
The bad news: It's still CAD$625

Seller is delusional methinks. :loon:

I must say, my Vantage Entertainer has the finest neck I have ever played. :love:

It's still available but the seller keeps relisting it every couple of weeks or so.
Still making me drool, just a little, but not at that price which remains at CAD$625. :seestars:

Of course that also means that the URL has changed again:
