Nice!!! Is that an Axcess on the right? What are the circles around the volume controls? How painful is it to pick with the middle pickup in the way on the Ace models???

Nice collection man.
I do have a Monster VVV, the first one he built, it used to be Teej's.
I've seen Kissteria many times. Are you guys doing any Sydney gigs anytime? Could come and meet you. I have played as Ace but not in make-up.

The Epi on the right is brand new in the pic, they are switches for single coil pickups thats all( its just paper around the dial ), also has a Floyd Rose fitted, i use it for Creatures with all that whammy Kiss stuff but im more an Ace fan.
Were looking to come to Sydney this year, we also have a tank turret drum riser with cannon ! ( i built that too ) i saw Kissteria few weeks back at Hurstville.
Could i get you to show me yr VVV ?

Coo, let us know when you play Sydney, would love to see your stage. Maybe we can get you guys in Canberra?
There is a pic of my VVV in TJ Monster's area, I haven't taken any shots of it yet, it's getting redone before I use it.

We have EAO as our booking manager ( Steve Pickett ) so he is looking to tour us on the east coast this year perhaps with a GnR tribute as a double header style gigs, still not in concrete yet though.
Oh just Pmed the guitar maker here re a double V with bolt on neck ( easier to ship in a box assemble here ) with the classic Pink look from the 80's, its one ive been looking for.
