Yes, they did, and I assume stiil do, make a fine guitar! Warped necks; the very thought makes my teeth itch, eh! They are in a cool corner, and under cover with silica gel bags in each case - they haven't moved so far!
The Vantage range encompassed basic to exotic, and whilst I played a VA 900 onstage for 20+ years without backup, nowadays I'd take the P90 Avenger because it's light, handy and eminently playable!
The lap steel is a Made in NZ Commodore and was made in the late 50s... I think! It had a really weird, oddball output jack that I replaced with a standard 6mm jack but is otherwise OEM, and a real beast! I use it in C6, E9, Em or G11. Being a six string limits it a bit, but it's still great fun to play!!
