The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

mp5999

boring day at work today so I am here contributing to my fave forum!

heres a pic of our Lotus Exige. My wife drives it mostly but I drive a fairly boring Volvo (S60R) so you dont wanna see that.

mp5999

and heres a "Malmsteenized" strat I have , I love surf green!

mp5999

ok , bored at work and thought I would add some stuff to the forum today.

This is a lefty explorer I thought was really cool looking as I had never seen one. No I dont play left handed, but this thing looks really neat hanging next to the righty!

mp5999

thanks, just realized I put these in the "Vinnie corner" post , I will move them to my "my collection" post instead (Doh!!)

mp5999

thanks for the kind words. Here are a couple pics of some more toys.

I have been toying around with selling it as I never ever play it but I had to have one because when I was a young kid I went to see Judas Priest and I fell in love with Tiptons (dont much care for the one they made for him after that though) .Man it took FOREVER to find one , I wander how many they...

mp5999

just wandering, during the last Kiss vs. VV court battle (it was within the past couple years) do we know if VV attended the hearing? Shame theres no pics if he was there. That would at least shed some light on his health as that would be the last time we could verify he was out of the house / alive...

mp5999

Exactly. Those guitars should have been 110% perfect. Lose some sleep for a couple days prior the the show if you must to get them fully finished , and then get them properly wetsanded and buffed. TJ , if you were premiering a guitar for the world to see at the annual biggest muscial instrument show...

mp5999

TJ , I have a few bottles of the Alsa Ghost chrome, I will send 1 out with your package this weekend.

mp5999

plus I call bullshit that these guitars are not going to be sold. Someone ( Tom Palecki, VV's father in law, whoever) has invested a few bucks between the 4 guitars and the NAMM booth space and are going to want to at least recoup part of their investment. Even if they see they wont be profiting lik...

mp5999

well if this is truly the case he is even more schizo then I had feared. Did he expect to sell a hundred of these things and get paid in full over the weekend? Seriously, he gave hardly any notice or warning about the NAMM prevailing. Not to mention the guitars were admittedly not even finished, cou...

mp5999

so who would you think do I talk to get a real world price on one of the 4 guitars now ?

mp5999

Dino, I agree- - how are we to buy into this new guitar with literally nothing concrete tying it to VV. I would quite possibly buy one of the new guitars but I would need a little bit of ass kissing on their part. Either a signed coa w/ pic of VV holding the exact guitar I was buying perhaps? Or a p...

mp5999

any chance if I paypal you the $ you would get me a catalog???

mp5999

you know, maybe there will be the brochures there at NAMM , and they might even be free to truly interested clientele. And maybe they dont plan on being back to the office from NAMM in full force until the following weekend so thats why they said the 22nd?? Probably just my wishful thinking...

mp5999

ok, we ALL need to call that phone number repeatedly and tell them we want to buy the catalog but need to know their paypal address. It shouldnt take to many turned away buyers for them to set up a pp account, and it doesnt take but a few minutes to set up.

mp5999

we now have 50 registered members! anyone know how many we had on dinos forum or pyromessiah???

mp5999

teej, whatsup with this one? Is it available??

mp5999

ok, whats the story from these? any info? any other pics or details?
I remember seeing / discussing these on the old forums but I dont remember much that was said.

mp5999

I dont know , was wandering that myself though.

mp5999

well they are all framed except for the 2 posters in the past 2 pics. I just got them from ebay in the past couple weeks and havent been to the picture shop to get them matted and framed yet!!

mp5999

haha, ok . hey I will even cover postage!

mp5999

man, only 1 guitar. I feel bad for you and would be willing to give you not only both my Lynch Kamikazes, but I would be nice enough to throw a few other guitars in as well ! Wouldnt that be awesome, get rid of that silly snake looking pointy guitar and get several other guitars in trade???? when ca...

mp5999

teej, why dont you post yours guitars up also? I love the eye candy. the Lynch Kamikazes are ok, f-ing heavy as hell though , not really my bag. Years ago I had an ESP custom shop one made , then made one of the bigger mistakes of my life by selling it. I finally tracked it down thru the internet re...

mp5999

well slayer - I have never touched the moderne or the explorer, I only bought them because I just always thought they were both so cool and I just wanted them. I am manily turned off by the rosewood fretboards though to be honest , plus besides a properly setup Les Paul custom I dont care for Gibson...

mp5999

sorry Chris, I think I am the one who called you the "kiss ass" as I kinda figured you were just some new guy on the old board that was working with VV.

mp5999

ya, I dont think much of anything would surprise me with VV right now.

mp5999

no no no , I was saying wouldnt that be a crazy twist scenario if Tom Palecki jumped off the quickly sinking ship so then VV decided to have TJ build the guitars instead?? How ironic would that be. You were right though, very odd yet interesting that the chris bickley fella seems to be a big TJ Mons...

mp5999

well make sure your not confusing this one with the red/black charvel as its been on the bay alot lately and its a bit questionable. As you can tell by my collection I am very partial to ebony fretboards but for some reason - maybe it just goes well with this color combo, I dig the rosewood board on...

mp5999

Tom Palecki probably realized hes about to lose his ass if he builds any of these guitars and has to sell them for a huge figure and only get to keep a small percentage so VV or Chris Bickley or some other VV butt kissing ass hat is gonna get TJ to build them now !!! Well I doubt it but who f-ing kn...

mp5999

yes I agree . The mirror thing is cool but not for that guitar. And I dont think those inlays are right for it either.

mp5999

the purple and silver Jackson VVV with the rosewood fretboard? Surely someone on here knows where it is, right? I just wander if its available.

just do a google search for " jackson vvv " and it will be right there.

mp5999

wow, I was just on his site looking at this guitar like 4 seconds ago.
what an insane collection of badass guitars.

mp5999

hahaha, man I knew I should have cropped that movie out of the picture. No I am happily married, those are actually my wifes Roland TD 20 drums in the foreground of the 2nd to last pic. Unfortunately (in this scenario anyway) she is a bit younger then me and doesnt understand my whole kiss fascinati...

mp5999

thought you guys might enjoy some of these as they are mainly either guitars of my heroes or just ones I thought were pretty cool when I was younger. I have other guitars throughout the house I will have to get pics of later. As usual sorry for my crappy picture taking, double click any to enlarge. ...

mp5999

I guess I assumed meth was something only used by the white trash of the midwest??

mp5999

haha, so you stopped buying stuff, BUT you just bought some stuff within the past few minutes! I think you might be in denial like I am!

mp5999

do you have a rough idea of the timeframe? I have hundreds of those old guitar magazines in my garage.

mp5999

ya , I am addicted to it. One of the only vices I have is ebay. My wife freaked on me at tax time this year , she and the accountant did the math and between all of my ebay from 2009 (which included probably 10 or more guitars so that added up) and my gunbroker auctions (its like ebay for guns) I sp...

Ok, here are some pics with info from the 2000 Kiss auction. Please note , I was told that the prices were estimates that Gene came up with which are fairly ramdom as some were way low but most were quite high (especially Genes stuff!!). Anyways, I bought a book today from ebay that lists the actual...

mp5999

nope , no pics of the 2002 although I hope someone does it it sounds interesting.
I will try to get pics of the 2000 VV auction sutff tonight and start a new post on it with pics.

mp5999

I know streetbeat, I probably should have started a new sublect with the 2000 auction, I didnt mean to hijack and change the thread, sorry.

mp5999

heres a youtube vid from the auction house. I havent watched it for awhile (this is #1 of 3) but I know at the very end you can see VV's creatures costume on a mannequin.

mp5999

Mike Shannon would be the person at Jackson that I would think could be helpful - he was there from the beginning. Grover is of no help whatsoever these days as we have seen.

mp5999

Christ, do you guys ever stop and think about all of the f-ing mysteries we deal with on this guy??? Seriously, I am enthralled to no end that in this day and age (computer age) that I think there is less drama, scandal, mystery, etc than at area 51 !! We should make a movie, but I would be afraid n...

mp5999

the only catch is, IF (and I would bet my entire collection of guitars that this isnt the case) that guitar were somehow the original gold one from the Creatures tour, then its possible that it might not have a serial #. It is a known fact that that particular guitar was one of the first 5 guitars t...

mp5999

So another person that has the chance to make some good $ but would rather not???
Actually I honestly bet hes probably scared to death VV will sue him if he does have an email or telophone conversation about the guitars.
