I found this page on Vinnie which a music site in Aus posted back in 2002, then updated in 2003 as they needed to repeat an article and they chose Vinnie's as it had some updated info since the last time. It's for a section called "Where are they now".

This has incorrect info stating that Vinnie was given the rights to the Rhoads Jackson design, which is simply not true, the Rhoads family owns this. I have seen people say this before and maybe this is where the wrong information came from?

i remember that. yes, i think they get the roades v and the vv mixed up.
