I told the story in my last post how I lost out on a great deal on a Fender Telecaster, and how I satisfied my GAS with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom.
GAS has a nasty habit of resurfacing, though, and it wasn’t an eon before I was ready to adopt again. It made things a little easier that Cameron was still taking lessons at the anonymous music store in the west end of town; for an hour a week I could sit and chat with the clerks, and play around with some of the pieces they were selling.
One guitar I liked playing around with was a well-worn Vantage VS600 “Witch”, a Japanese model manufactured in the early 1980s.
It played pretty well, and I liked the looks of it, and they were only asking $250 for it. So it became the fourth member of my collection.
Random Thoughts of an American Male 
The Vantage VS600 was my first guitar. The one you have pictured was the exact color pickups, covers and knobs. My parents got mine a used one back in ’88, although like a dummy, I traded it with someone in the mid 90’s. I’ve been on the hunt to buy one for a bit now. If you ever decide to sell it. Let me know. –jeff
