He's the original owner and said that he might have the original invoice.He ordered it in 1987 from Sapf's in Pennsauken, NJ. It closed its doors in 2000 and morphed into music123.com. He can't believe he located it after all these years and is glad it's in good hands. I'll post a pic of the invoice...

Thank you sooo much for doing this. I can't believe I finally have one of these.

Cool score

It's really heavy stock, isn't it? What number did you get?

VVV

Hey All, I'm in Melbourne for a couple of days and today I met the guy who was going to open the KISS World Store. He still has a bunch of the Vinnie Vincent signed Lithos for sale as well as a number of Vinnie signed pics of him from both the Creatures and Lick it Up Eras. He's asking $110 for the...

VVV

Thank goodness he didn't wear a huge belt buckle back then!

Looks like those are home photos with friends in the background and not shots taken from live gigs.

VVV

Yeah, how did you get those photos? Old school. Keep us updated. OK, sure. There was an 2" x 4" service tag in the guitar case. It was from an old, defunct guitar shop. He left it in there and it had his name on it. When he pawned (or sold) it to the broker, they kept it in there. Without that, fug...

I will, thanks Rick!

Skwint wrote:hopefully he gives you some info.

Yeah, I hope he's into sharing it. He's a player and a fan of the '80s scene. Maybe he's got the original invoice somewhere too.

VVV

After 11 years, I've FINALLY found the previous owner of my VVV. I sent him a message. And if THAT fails, I know where he works & lives :wink: http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/19546_1103029076324_1844641215_211796_2031625_n.jpg http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/19546_11030...

They're back together again without Free and with a new album.

Listen to 'Tear Down The Walls' from the free audio clips.

Tell me the riff isn't a ripoff of Bonfire/KISS' "Sword and Stone"

So has anyone been able to order a VV guitar?

I haven't read anywhere of anyone ordering one. No dealers are advertising them; no reply from an email I sent to "order1@vinnievincentmodelguitars.com"

VVV

"If you want details contact the Jackson Custom Shop, they will tell you why they discontinued the original model." Let me guess. VV wanted $5,000 a guitar? No guessing allowed here. Just the facts. :D :D :D OK, so why did they discontinue :?: I probably heard it before, but let's hear it again :mr...

From Youtube channel : NAMM 2011 PROHIBITS ANY SALE, CASH AND CARRY OF AN EXHIBITOR'S PRODUCTS, WHETHER IT BE THE CATALOG, T-SHIRT OR THE ACTUAL PRODUCT ITSELF. A t-shirt ??? !!! I'm surprised that he didn't charge to look at them, let alone feel them up (the GUITARS that is) :mrgreen: And no charg...

Then I guess Vinnie "owes me one" on the marketing-end

No more free rides then Cusano!

VVV

I'd still take my Jackson over any of these. No mojo, no Vinnie, no Tom. These are copies no better than TJ's. He could have at least signed the back of the heads and issued a certificate for each one! Again, Vinnie doesn't know WTF he's doing. The prices are an insult to his fans and he's dreaming...

Streetbeat wrote:YES; NEW VV MUSIC IS PLANNED!!!

AMAZING !!!!!!
CHECK YOUTUBE !!!

Could be some music penned by him for other artists as well? Not quite sure what to make of that.

VVV

Yes, thanks for the posts and info. Tim!

VVV

With the way this was rolled out, you would think Vinnie is dead.

Reminds me of how the Rhoads family turned out for the latest RR model presentation. Maybe that was the templet for the marketing.

At least we know Randy actually PLAYED his guitar.

VVV

aaahhhh hmmmmm. "Q: Has Vinnie played the guitars yet? A: No, he's only seen pictures." Im really biting my lips.............Seriously..........really.............really.... OH FUCK IT!

VVV

Strange for VV? No, I suppose not. Just about on par with not even showing up to promote at your own booth

VVV

Price sheet:

$650 for the cases

No sign of the bass or the 6/12 double neck.

VVV

Vinnie in 2010 I suppose?

VVV

I really can't call or text him now. They're doing MAB's sound check for later today/tonight. I'm crossing my fingers he shows up tomorrow~

VVV

No VV today. Maybe tomorrow. Got a price sheet. 8 page catalog is $50

VVV

OK, I've got a friend (MAB's guitar tech for this run of shows) heading over there.

VVV

So who is at the booth? Will he be there I wonder? What's the dealio?

VVV

"Since the beginning of the guitar announcement (on the old board) I stated Im going to buy one of these guitars. Hell, maybe even two"

Gee, now I know who to contact first if I decide to sell!

VVV

I just posted news to the 'net about Adrian. All I can say is "Finally!"

VVV

They would have to pre-announce it somewhere, imho. People might not recognize him walking around. We are a small group. We know the guitar is coming. People showing up at NAMM will be like "WTF is TM1, and why am I in section "E"?" Remember that pic from 2005? It vaguely reminds me of him and that ...

VVV

I'm SO glad I released those infamous pics. It must have made Vinnie's day! lol

Oh OK. I checked a couple of weeks ago and I got a deleted message. I'll check the new version, thanks.

That's "cryptic" fwiw

Vic, is there an "edit " function here somewhere? Thanks

VVV

Sure. Look how crytic he was with that youtube video about the Paleki guitar- "It's Alive" Then it was pulled. Now this- a phone number where no one answers. A website that's not activated. An email where I'm sure replies will not be written. NAMM starts in 15 days. The lack of transparancy and pr a...

VVV

The more I think about it the more I am almost certain he will be there. Tom doesnt own the company and vinnie has no employees. If its not vinnie at the booth it will be close family, but I think he will be there In order to prove that it's an actually "Vinnie Vincent"- approved and designed model...

VVV

This reminds me of what Aristides did last year with Adrian Vandenberg. They came out of nowhere, got AV to endorse them, tried to sell $6500 guitars in a crap economy, and they sold how many guitars

VVV

I breathed into it really heavy and said I was........."ready"

VVV

Has anyone spoken to someone at the other end of that phone number??

VVV

That first pic looks like an Oreo cookie with Dana as the creamy filling
