You must spread some Chris Lawrence reputation around before giving it to Adolfo again

It looks like a cross between the (paul stanley) ibanez iceman and a rickenbacker 4001...to me.

I've always really loved this back cover photograph...

It's a Quest Manhattan M-3...

More info here: http://matsumoku.org/models/vantage/...attan/pg5.html (warning: BIG pic, possibly full scale)

Those guitars were badass...too bad they're ridiculously rare, as the line went nowhere...

hey, cool! thanks! so they were made by vantage? my buddy has a Quest bass (which is the only way i ever identified the one SY used) and we've always wondered about its origin...

GeneticKiss · 04.30.2010, 04:24 PM

I guess. Almost nothing is known about Quest. They're easily one of the most obscure Japanese brands of the early to mid 80s (awesome time for Japanese guitars-Westone, Electra, Aria Pro II...).
