I have been watching this entry for some time (like 4 months), and today was able to determine exactly what model it is - the TOP model in the VA series - thanks to fox54!
Unfortunately, the axe has been totally messed up with (condition itself is near mint) with totally revised electrics
- EMG's (81 and 85 Kerry King active/passive setup), original boost circuit and coil-split switches removed (claims to still have the switches - somewhere). He wants WAY too much for it (I'm sure he wants to recover the conversion costs...but...). With original case.
I wrote him again as he asked if I was interested (who, ME
?), giving him a bit of history and the results of modifying but then asking collector prices and what I paid for my near mint Thunder. I wanit, but not for a grand! The EMG's are a fairly good (many say this setup is GREAT) and I listened to some sound bits thru a DARN good set of speakers, so I have to agree, but... in a vintage VANTAGE?
