Elliott wanted to, and continues to, corner the market on shredders. That's why I also presented Vinnie Moore and Chris Impellitteri to the company. Vinnie wasn't happy with Sterling and Chris liked what he read about the company. They both contacted me directly. I didn't contact them. Michael was already onboard with Dean (again) after he left the company, back when Dean used to be based in Chicago.

If VV contacted me I could possibly arrange an introduction. I say that here because maybe he reads this forum

i too have my contacts with dean guitars i will say they are aware of Mr cusano. i cant say for sure youll have success with that since they know his history from way back when before kiss. lets just say that might not go over well. VVV - you can inquire mention his name to a couple of guys you might find hes well known due to some CT natives working for the company

i agree buy a monster its the only sure way your gonna getthe best and not get ripped off and killed...

tj rules

everyone knows vv's history. its a big problem for him.

i know this is so old, but why is he charging so much with the rep he has?? crazy.

If he offered a package that included a 3 hour guitar lesson, a video tape of him handing the guitar over to the person buying it plus some other stuff he maybe able to get 4k but I doubt it.

Buy a Monster and be done with it.

I wonder what Vinnie's next update will be? More news on playing live? I wonder what guitar he will play? What amp will he use?

All we have left for Vinnie is hope.

Unfortunately you are right Rick, but you never know? Vinnie may still surprise us I would be happy with new music releases of old material... Not asking much...

I've got my fingers crossed that he will play.
He was promising a yr ago the guitars, and well, he actually delivered, and in Fall as he said.
Not exactly in the way we all hoped but it was still a positive step.

I thinks it's all too obvious that even if you were a buyer at 9k, seeing him shred one up live would help you decide whether you would even head down that track.....and maybe Vinnie is thinking it's a good business move to do this.

It's a no brainer, Vinnie will create LOTS of interest by reappering after all this years !
