According several other guitar info sites, the serial number indicates the numbers are as follows: 03030561: According to what I read about Motsomuko company, etc, vantage guitars were being produced even during the early 60's. The serial number on this guitar is 03030561. But many people like the tonal choice off having the "twangier" sound of a single coil, so they tap the coils of the humbucker, sending one of the coils to ground and effectively turning the pickup into a single coil. This also makes for a (relatively) louder pickup with a "creamier" tone than a single coil. This cancels the inherent magnetic hum/noise associated with single coil pickups. Humbucker pickups have two coils that are out of phase from each other. The lower switch could very well be a ground out for one of the pickups (causing it to stop producing sound,) but it seems more likely that it would be some type of coil tap. The middle position has it going through both pickups, but as with any older guitar this may have rewired at some point, so YMMV. When it's all the way down, it's playing through the bridge pickup. Normally, when the switch is all the way up, the guitar is playing through the neck pickup. The top 3-position switch is a pickup selector switch. just wondering if this was a prototype model thats escaped the factory in low numbers before the end times at vantage? any help would be great appreciated thanks guys and gals it has 2 stock vantage single coils, one at the neck and middle position with a vantage humbucker in the bridge position all running through 500k pots. plays like a dream, screams and sounds better than anything with active pickups, it runs passive pickups in the positions as im about to state. Hey everyone i know this is an age old and dead thread but im scraping the bottom of the barrel here ive recently brought a vantage 728 BDT off a pawn shop, i had at the time no knowledge of its sound or quality but brought it on a whim and a good feeling and yes before i go further i said BDT thats right no spelling error now i know a 728GDT exists as it is listed in their production models but this BDT model seems to be an enigma ive only ever heard of one other person owning a BDT Model and that was on a french guitar site.
