The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Too bad Vinnie lost his sense of humour. A good laugh every day would be the best cure for him.

Nice guitar, I like it. Those lines remind me of 80's designs (Ace's AF-40, "Delorean automobile"...). Do you still have it? Do you plan to do Mini-Vinnies for real?

I was thinking of these hair worms...http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/2152 ... Worms.html
Ghost BC made me think of Dario Argento, and then this famous scene of Suspiria.

I'm no legend, but I will accept to exchange mine with a Jackson VV. Those guitar don't sell... grab the opportunity!

I didn't know him until now. He's got interesting and clear guitar lessons on youtube. He didn't get stuck in the eighties like VV, and keeps evolving. He makes me want to listen to Gene's last solo album too, as he has collaborated on it...

Let's call Dr Who, he'll create a Jackson VV for each of us!

Just found this, as I was looking into an old topic... He asked 8000k and didn't sell it.

I wanted to check Paul's solo album on youtube (never heard it). I found some of it and didn't really like it, then I got this amazing version of "A million to one" live that you've already talked about here... What a voice!
Too bad Vinnie wasn't there!
I like Moreira though

This one was so cheap, I couldn't help buying it (220 US $). It's a real Fender made in China, brand new. The pots need to be changed, but the rest is fine. I love those P 90's. I would't have bought it for its original price (700 $ approx.). Strange world : China making cheap instruments, then big ...

Jackson prices seem to have increased : last year it was possible to find a black RR1 for 2000 euros, and now it's about 2800 euros. Why can't we find US models for 1000-1500 euros?

He looks and sounds like Iggy Pop.
He should sing "I wanna be your dog"...

Vinnie should breathe air into plastic bags or coke bottles, and sell them signed.

Lots of dust in this house, and on the guitar too. Was it flea powder or simply dust?

Don't sell it to Vinnie, Genebaby!

Hello Spacewig,

Oh, be careful doing anything at the bridge, you may kill the eclectics. I tried to have my action adjusted there by a luthier but it wasn't possible to make a dent in the height, it was too far gone. Ok, thanks Genebaby, I won't destroy that guitar... I did once lower a bridge made of wood on an a...

So sad. But what about that guitar.. Should somebody get that before a new owner trash it. I mean, it's still Vinnie's guitar. It is in safe keeping. :wink: The keeper has to be careful with that guitar, Vinnie might sue him... Wasn't it that guitar Vinnie was allowed to keep after his bankruptcy? ...

As we were talking about chicken picking in another topic, a question came to me, about the following exercise :

What note did Vinnie strike with his middle finger? When does he generally play "chicken note"? Right before the beat? On the beat?

Joel Hoekstra does some kind of chicken picking with two or three fingers. Very interesting. Vinnie did chicken picking with one finger if I remember it well.

What is the neck like on this guitar? Would you say that it is more the feel and shape of an electric guitar or more like an acoustic? It is a beautiful instrument either way!

Nice collection, Kev! Which one do you prefer? Which one has the biggest value? When I hear the word "Telecaster", I always think about Keith Richards.

Yes, I saw De Palma’s movie on TV in 89 I think. I didn’t know then it was a remake. I’d like to see that movie again.

Chinese guitars don't have a good reputation, however their quality seems to get better. Mass production guitars with no soul?

Those nice guitars look like japanese guitars (Matsumoku). Were they made in Japan?

please note that those are made of aluminium so the sound may change.

Those trems are interesting, thanks. And cheaper than the ones I put the pictures of.
I think I'll keep the idea for another guitar, because the Vantage will certainely lose its famous sustain if I put a trem on it.

There's some trem made for Les paul guitars that works fine and it doesn't require any major routing.......... I saw these on the internet (stetsbar and schaller).
