Ed Roman's Reaction To Vinnie's guitars from NAMM
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:53 pm
Well ,I can honestly say that with respect to Tom and Vinnie, Ed Roman was pretty fair here and we know how DICKY he can come off to people.I like how he knows Tom yet can't spell his name. 
Also, I always felt that the tension was more between Paul and Vinnie being that Paul can be an insecure bitch. My buddy was Kiss' tour manager a few years ago and Paul through a hissy because my friend fucked one of his road skanks.
Without a retort from Vinnie , people are left to listen to other people's opinions about the guitar- right or wrong.
How about it Vinnie? You have come up with a masterpiece now back that fucker up and jam out already. Say it with words or better yet WITH YOUR PLAYING !!!

At the 2011 NAMM show in Anaheim, Tom Pilecki of Pear Guitars released the Vinnie Vincent Guitar !!!
Prices are starting at $9,000.00 Which is $5,000,00 higher than "The Ed Roman V Twin" starts at.
The guitar actually looked pretty good from 8 feet away. It did not measure up to the level of quality that we are doing on our V Twin Model. In fact it doesn't measure up to the Jackson model that was discontinued 10 years ago. I am a bit surprised, I know Tom Pilecki & I know he is capable of better quality. I suppose cost issues & royalties to Vinnie Vincent may play a part in this.
If you want to buy one do it quickly because, Ed Roman predicts that they won't be doing it for long. In my past experiences with Vinnie I am aware of certain issues that will likely trainwreck this instrument. If you want details contact the Jackson Custom Shop, they will tell you why they discontinued the original model.
I sold Vinnie Vincent a guitar back in the 70's when he was playing with Felix Cavaliere from The Rascals. Vinnie is a excellent musician who penned some of my favorite Kiss Tunes he also plays great guitar.
Vinnie had a great stage presence, he had a great all around look, It's too bad that the ego crashes between Gene Simmons & Vinnie caused the breakup. Even though Ace is an old old friend of mine & I love him dearly. My favorite Kiss lineup on stage was with Vinnie.
In the case of many multitalented individuals there are certain eccentricities that cause them to become their own worst enemies. I am and always will be a fan of Vinnie's work but working with Vinnie was very unproductive for us.
