Speaking of VV auctions , I have a book at home from Sothebys auction house . It is full of stuff from a huge Kiss auction from the late 90's (I can find out exactly when). Anyway, they auctioned off a shit ton of Vinnies creatures era stage wear - boots, outfits, armbands, just a ton of cool ass sh...

heres a copy and past of another post I made that pertains to this stuff. So is there any certificate of authenticity with the guitar (anything on the wall??) or do you think maybe its either one they made thats similar to hang on their wall? Dino - please get the serial # off of it, that will help ...

So is there any certificate of authenticity with the guitar (anything on the wall??) or do you think maybe its either one they made thats similar to hang on their wall? Dino - please get the serial # off of it, that will help me greatly to verify alot of info about it. Or it could be a scenario like...

Dino, I had my wife try via facebook to get ahold of him. He still wont reply. I even had her bait him a bit but didnt mention anything about the VV stuff at all. I was hoping he would at least be curious enough to accept her as a friend but it didnt work.

wowwwww, great stuff. I still remember that tour like it was yesterday. We had no clue until we bought a program at the show that Ace was no longer in the band. Instead it was some cool looking cat with tons of mystique and the most wicked looking guitar ever!! AND he even knew how to play it (unlik...

hmm, think this is good news for us???????????????????

yes slayer, I also love the Pear, but I classify that as the Jackson VV style body (just a little more lethal). No I have never ever besides these pics that have circulated seen the ESP or much of anything like it. I have several ESP's in my collection though and they are very nice. Their custom sho...

Sorry but I like the look of the Jackson VV way better then this ESP body (and the headstock doesnt do much for me either). Interesting though none the less! Dont you guys find it amazing how hard is is to get ANY info on some of this VV stuff ? Surely Vinnie has people he has to deal with occasiona...

haha, I tried. Go check under "news" - I just told the whole story there.

well he did try to sell it to a fan in 96 - it was me. I was going to tell this story on dinos sight but he didnt want any negative shit about VV. I had posted the story on the old pyro messiah board years ago if you remember that. I dont want to cast VV in a bad light (haha does he really need my h...

I dunno, I never seen anything about price, but I have seen a couple posts that mention that $8k figure and wandered if theres more info then I am aware of. The pathetic thing is I would probably give that much for one, even though in all honesty 1/2 of that is more than fair. I cant believe its thi...

haha, good one Tommy. Where exactly did you guys come up with the $8000 figure though?

just so you know, the pic of the blondish haired guy above is the fashion guy from tv, he used to be a correspondent on NBC's Today Show but I have no clue what hes up to now as I dont watch tv in the morning any longer. His name is like Steven Cojoko or something like that.

its a TJ VVV. I had him build it and then I had it professionally painted including the Jackson logo. Plays like an f-ing dream- the action is just perfect. It looks so killer in person, I will sometimes just go upstairs to look at it. Depending on what happens with the AZG/Pear VVV guitar I may hav...

heres a pic of my VV corner (with any luck I will soon have an AZG VV to hang also (fingers crossed)). The one on the far right is #2 of 30 of the recently released "1st 5 " Rhoads V's. If you check out this ebay auction 400134311237 you will see a video of a Jackson employee discussing its relevanc...

well said? no shit- that was epic! I couldnt have said it better myself. To think that he has been right there under our nose for months , is that at all possibly true????!!!! Seriously though, I want to think about this as positive as possible under all of the current circumstances let alone all th...

it would sure be cool to have all the pics up of the guitars like the old forum used to have. I always got a kick out of looking thru them. Or even pics of the various VVV's that are about, I think I remember the snakeskin one that looked badass as well as someone who owned a pink/silver one.

awesome, so thats how I got the f-ing virus that I have been trying to get rid of all weekend!!!

Just curious though, how did you get our email addresses to send out inviting us to this new forum?

I couldnt have said it better - its worth whatever someone wants to pay for it. And I find it hard to believe that someone who has chosen by their own freewill to stay out of the limelight and be forgotten or even never known of by some would be that sought after or in demand in collectors eyes. I d...

wow, you really must be the real VV to think it would be worth that kind of $$

I will bite my tongue from saying anything else as I am sure its a joke.

WTF is going on??? Dino, how are you SURE that it was VV that took over the site?? Couldnt it just be some assclown that has nothing better to do then screw with people? Man this is just nuts. And has ANYONE actually spoke with the Tom Palecki guy from AZG??? I had my wife try (I dont have a faceboo...
