Hey everyone,

MY name's JT and I own a music store in Minnesota. Because of that I found the Mat site and was instantly hooked. I started my collection with 2 Vantage VS600's (one black, one nat.). But what I really am proud of is that I have 2 of the 3 Skylark models and just found the third one this morning to complete the collection. I'm gonna have that nervous/excited feeling until it arrives and I set them side by side. I'll post pictures as soon as I have all 3. I'm glad I found this site and that it seems that membership keeps growing. Very cool.

Hi JT, welcome to The Forums :)
I have to agree with your taste in guitars ... this week, I got me my 27th Vantage, and I believe I'm the only one in Europe that plays a Skylark 2588 :P
You'll have to take your time to take in all the info the guys here have gathered over the past few years. Enjoy!
Kees.

Welcome & hello! Because of being made for the american market only, skylarks are extremely rare here in Europe.
I would like to see a pic of all three of them together!! :wink: :look:
