Hey, Cosair!

I want my guitar to play like that!

Welcome to the forums Jammo!...if you like that guitar...then you'll really get serious GAS, when you see all the other "Uncle Mats" that were made . Enjoy your new axe!

Hey, Skylark41!

Thanks for the welcome.

As a long time sufferer of GAS, I'm well aware of what triggers it. Seeing your beautiful guitar as an avatar has given me the sweats.

Hi Jammo, as if you didn't feel welcome enough yet, another warm welcome from me .
The Vantage VA900 and the Skylark 2588 are very closely related. I am lucky enough to own both, and I can't say I prefer one over the other.
Here you can find more on the Skylark: http://www.guitardir.com/specs.php?Node ... &Context=3

Hello from Austria. (No - we're no Aussies )

Welcome here! As for cases : my VA900 is sleeping in a 104cm long (inner length) square "Rockcase" made by Warwick.
Fits like a glove. But I'm sure you'll find other cases for longscale guitars on eboink. I've finally found one for my 106 cm long VA912! (don't ask me about "inches" )
Out of the case my 900 looks like this:

Talking 'bout GAS: I'm a case fanatic! At the moment I've got more cases than guitars. Empty cases are useless - but I've got a plan!

GD K9 - That Skylark is beautiful! The glossy finish is fantastic!

I see my Aussie friend is now back home from Canada/Alaska with his VA900B..... to go with his 900 and 912.... I may have to kill him.

Hey Corsair
Did someone mention my name

Hello Jammo and welcome from the Aussie with the 900 and the 912 and also the 900B

Finally, pictures!

I want to thank Henry "Dixie" Howard for his professional cleaning and setup to this guitar. http://www.guitarworx.biz/
