Howdy everyone.
I was recently in the Western part of the U.S.A. and HAD TO stop by and shake hands with master guitar luthier Tom Palecki (Pear Guitars, AZG Guitars, etc...).
He built quite a few guitars for someone we know. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
He still builds some great instruments and I think it would be a good time for YOU to think about having him custom build YOUR next guitar.

Google the man. Find him on Facebook. GET IT DONE !!!!

i love his 90s Pear and I had my eye on a strat he made in the 80s. I wanted him to make me a Bigsby / Les Paul hybrid too and he also makes great 3/4 size guitars perfect for kids at a good price.

does anyone remember about 2006/2007 when we tried for months and months to figure out the brand of the Pear guitar. It was a huge breakthrough when we figured it out.

Yes, it was. So much for Vinnie advertising the guitar and brand in exchange for the build. Nobody in the world heard about it!

only reason why anyone knew what it was was because Ed Roman was using the image. We all thought it was an Ed Roman guitar until we noticed the logo on headstock. VV did use the Pear in a fan club package in 1995 but you would have had to be a crazy guy like us to spot it.

That's cool.
I wonder whether Tom Palecki is still talking to Vinnie.
I hope Vinnie'd solve the issue because he has burnt enough bridges already.
In order to comeback (even if it's no music but just business presence), he need to build good relationships with industry people.

Tom hasn't seen Vinnie in over 20 years. Tom hasn't spoken to Vinnie in approximately 3 years.
Vinnie has taken those guitars from Tom in an unlawful manner and shows no signs of compensating Tom for his guitars.

Spread the word to all to avoid buying the newer Guitarmageddon Guitars. They are simply the AZG Guitars that Tom Palecki made and funded. Vinnie had the headstocks redone.

That's terrible.
Sounds like a potential lawsuit.
Vinnie should not pull that kind of stunt especially on those who believe in him.
When you burn all the bridges around you, you drown!
Why on earth is he burning so many bridges in such a manner?

No lawsuit will take place but things will be dealt with respectfully.

Man Vinnie has no shame when it comes to screwing people over. How in the world will Tom get these back or payment with out legal action?
