Well Guys,

My VV Loving days have come to an end & over the next month Im selling the last of what was once a massive Kiss collection. I first started selling my Kiss collection in 2007 and have slowly parted with some truly amazing memorabilia! A contact of mine is listing about 40 products, my Jackson custom shop VV model Gold Rhoads is among the items up for grabs. Heres the link:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KISS-VINNIE- ... 41629d90ff

The guitar is Mint and is # 8 in the series of 30 US made units by Mike Shannon. Let me know if you have any questions.

No it's Mike Shannon's autograph. He made the original Rhoads and Vinnie's Jackson VVV.

On eBay USA you hit "worldwide" on the left column and it appears. I had to list it on eBay oz with w/wide shipping option.

Shram - thanks for keeping my hit count high, you helped keep the guitar on the eBay homepage for the last two days as a most viewed item on eBay :lol: 6 of 12 home page items are mine

Oh that's a newer one. My friend Jeffs is from the first year of production at the San Dimas factory.

First year of production in the San Dimas factory was the early 80's. First year of pre production at San Dimas was the late 70's.

This guitar was built in the Corona facility, after the move from San Dimas to Ontario.

It's a limited run depicting one of the first five Jackson guitars.

It happened to be used by Vinnie in Kiss. The original, not this one.

So is your friends an 05 or 85? 85 is San Dimas though only the PO Box was there, not the shop.

Tapatalk is cool, yeah, I'm using it now.

Is this guitar an actual Vinnie custom or just a Jackson that Vinnie used?

It is just a Jackson Rhoads, like the one Vinnie used to use in Kiss.

It seems so strange to see a brother who lives like 8000 miles away name dropping city names that are adjacent to where I live. I know that your a Charvel / Jackson Historian but have you ever been to Southern California or are you just extremely well read? :D

I just know a lot of Charvel/Jackson history. Ah the good old days.

Not exactly, he got one of the first production Rhoads guitars to use in Kiss. Also, up till 1990 EVERY Jackson was a custom guitar, that's all they did. In 1990 came "standard" models and finishes.

That is early if it says RR950, but not if it says UO950.

It's rr. Jeff borrowed it from the original owner Greg in 86 and Greg already had it for some time. These guys were my mentors. Lol it's funny how much jeff can't stand vinnie yet, his solos sound very similar. Lol jeff opened for vinnie. Seen vinnie getting his hair extensions put in. Was being a general ass from the way jeff explained the gig.

btw great guitar brooklyn. I think its a good feeling to sell shit sometimes. I had about 60 guitars at one stage, I sold em cheap mostly but it felt good. if i had held on to about 2006/2007 i would have made a lot of cash.

vinnie used a guitar similar to this in 82 on the creatures tour. he later sprayed at least one pink.

The guitar is a custom small run inspired by VV's guitar. Not exact but very close.

Isn't it bullshit when someone fucks with your auction and steals a couple of weeks of your itenary? Fuckers like that who bid and can't close should be banned from Ebay, period

So which company made the original VVV. The one that the Vinnie Vincent Model Guitar is based on?

The guitars Dino is talking about are all Jackson Randy Rhoads models, like the one in this thread.

He used some of those models before Jackson made the first VVV model for him.
