The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

I’ve just found a Washburn RR today (looks like the RR 12V model, but red and white). I’ll get it next week.
...with the ultimate wonderbra

See Bob on the ad :

Ahh, the 80's....I saw something like the WT-24V in the black/red at a pawn shop a long time ago. I just left it alone as I didn't know much, but now it's older so possibly more interesting.

Looking forward to pics of your guitar when you get it!

80’s, yes...
Still hunting for an AF-40...
I’ve seen Brian May played some RR 12V:

Wow, all kinds of people played different stuff. So strange to see Brian with a V of any kind, or even just a different guitar, though I knew he used a Fender before.

Yes, 1980s guitars are still very popular!!! Those "certain" guitars, I mean!!!

Here´s my Washburn 11-V, pics AND video ( playing the VV REH lick...)

Very nice! So 80's. I think if I saw that with the case it would be hard to resist.

Thanks!
Notice the strap, so eighties too!

Does it have a phenolic fretboard like my G8-V superstrat? I have a white version with the Washburn branded Floyd Rose III....the FR sux ass btw!

I don’t think so. I’ve got a B70 Rudy Sarzo Washburn bass that seems to have a phenolic fretboard, and it’s very different. I’d say rosewood here.
The wonderbar is so much better than a crappy Floyd. Kind of exotic, huge, I like it.

Yes, it does look like wood from what I can see in the pics. My brother had a cheap Charvel/Jackson copy guitar which once I got into guitars myself I realised it was not a wooden fretboard. That was a Session guitar.

I've not heard great things about the Wonderbar, but it's cool you are digging it. And if it's in good working order that's a bonus!

Yes, I meant some licensed Floyd are terrible. A good Floyd is by far superior to the wonderbar of course.

Ahh, your wording made it sound like you thought all Floyd's were crappy and the Wonderbar is the bees knees. Now I get it. Yes, I am no fan of crappy Floyds. Give me a top quality Floyd or give me death!

I've read the Takeuchi (or TRS) Floyds are actually pretty good! They were made in Japan to a high quality. They have an old style screw-in arm though. Replace with a Schaller or a push-in arm and they'd be great!

Takeuchi Floyds, that sounds good.
Floyds have to pass the flutter test. Most of licensed Floyds fail at it, partly because of a loose trem bar.

Takeuchi Floyds were on some 90's Japanese Jacksons and Charvels. I avoided them.

Very nice!!! I would buy one, if I'd find

260 $ shipping costs included, that’ s how I like to buy japanese guitars from the eighties!

That's a hard to resist price for that for sure!

True! 350 and above, I pass, except if it’s a very good instrument.
But it’s fun to collect matsumoku-like guitars for cheap. That Roadstar Ibanez RS 100 for 60$, with case for example...
