Thanks Vic! I envisioned it would happen some day.; it just look longer than I (or anyone I'd imagine) expected. I'm simply grateful that he's okay.

Maybe one day he'll strap it on and play it since I'm not even sure he owns an original anymore. I put an email into his attorney to see if he might be interested but haven't heard anything yet

Well, if ever there was a chance, that time is now!

Good luck with it.

Can you believe Vinnie M. is saying it's ugly?

I reminded him that if his Eagles ever won the SB he said he'd give me #1 proto VM Dean (I actually have it in writing). This way he can show me (once again) what a "beautiful" geet looks like

There was sudden silence lol

Ear ear!



Yes it’s a 1987 factory model. Only one of two pink/silver models, other than the two that Vinnie was given, that were ordered by a public customer. This is also the only VVV that was made with “Rhoads shoulders”. I guess that the guy who placed the order asked for this mod?

Drew’s like mine, has a factory fitted neck pickup. No other original run models have twin pickups. Not that I can find anyway. Allegedly 28 Jackson VVVs were made but as of today, I’ve only found pictures of 13. The only other twin pickup Jackson VVV was built in 2005 for a large Guitar collector. It’s pretty cool too!

Drew, do you still have the picture of the original owner? I remember he was playing it in front of a Randy/Ozzy poster.

I don't have that pic on this computer but it's around. He (Paul) promised me if he ever found the receipt and build sheet he'd sent it my way:

"Wow Drew, it`s a relief to me that my girl is in good hands and well respected. The night I let it go I cried, it meant everything to me then. It was not a choice that I wanted to make. I had some awesome years with that guitar and every place I played, the lights were on it. You noticed a chip in the paint on one of the wings, that was my first time playing it out of the case. Hit a mic stand. Vinnie is strange but because of him I`ve developed a way of playing along with and of course, Brian May. In the late 70`s I built his guitar ( Brian ) myself with tech advise from Gretch with whom my uncle was a tech with. I used the neck from my Strat, looked funny but it worked out. It was stolen along with stage lights at my first battle of the bands in 79. Anyway brother thank you so much for finding me. Oh by the way, I just may have that invoice. I am in the process of moving but I will look for it and send it to you if I find it. I did order it through Zapfs music in, I believe Pennsauken NJ. I`ll keep in touch on that. Paul"
