VVV guitars collection part 2

[mylittleguitar]

Well, you may think that I'm crazy and I guess you're right. To finish my work on the VVV collection, I plan to create a Facebook page on the upcoming days with the pictures of my miniatures and Vinnie with the guitars and add some basic informations about each guitars.
Here is the specification of each, if you can complete and correct when I'm wrong, it could be cool.

As I make all the guitars as highly detailed miniature replicas, I spent time on drawing each body. So I made a kind of blue print of each guitar then I overlay them 2 by 2 to show the differences. The common point is the bridge pickup. It's not perfect but it shows the evolution of the models

JACKSON
1986
After his departure from KISS, Vinnie Vincent was looking for some changes. After using the Jackson Randy Rhoads model during his KISS years, he turned to Grover Jackson to work on something new. Came the idea of a double V, for Vinnie's initials.

JACKSON Student model

The first model made is this « student » model. The « student » model is a first model made with classic material, hardware to see if the design works well before making special fretboard, material and paint job.
The color is a light Candy pink with silver wings. I guess it was too flashy for Vinnie and that's why he added some white tape on the body to see what it looked with just the edges of the wings in pink.
