Shramiac - Yeah, I'm still waiting for the Floyd Trem to get here so I can use it for the correct dimensions. It's been on order for a couple of months now. Hi Tom, I'm wondering about those correct dimensions. They say on Floyd or Schaller ads that the space between the two Floyd holes is 74.3 mm....

15 €, that's not too expensive. I'll get one next time I order something at Thomann. They have a nice Rickenbacker 620 MG for example...

tukoztukoz

Thanks!

I will play something when the guitar Will be done, promised.

I'm still busy with the filler. The new hole with fiberglass is ok now.

I've had an idea about the fretboard inlays. It's not done yet, just the V Holes. Meredith sent me Susie the termite from Hell to do
the job

Sad news, yes. He died in his sleep on the bus while on tour with Adrenaline Mob. The "Mob" boys are pretty upset at the moment which is understandable. He was also due to start recording with former Frehley's Comet members Tod Howarth and John Regan in May in May too! R.I.P. AJ! [youtube]http://ww...

Cool! Is it the guitar we had pics with T.J.'s name?

Come on, Vinnie, let's sign some contract with Tom Palecki or Jackson to make a few official VV's! Don't let chinese people be the only VV builders!

Once again, I wouldn't say anything against Vinnie's style because I love it, and i think the licks he shows in this video are brilliant, too. However, I think what roman14032 writes is interesting, because the Vinnie aspects he criticize are qualities after all, strangely... "WORLD CLASS VIRTUOSO O...

I used to listen to this album a lot in 2001 in my car, when I went to work in a place I didn't like, 60 miles away from where I live... I think it suited the situation perfectly!

Carnival of souls sounds like Alice in Chains, that's a fact. I remember Gene said in the nineties that he listened to Beck a lot (not Jeff Beck, but the Beck who sang "I'm a loser babe so why don't you kill me..." Must not be grunge, must not be grunge, fits like a glove... I wonderwhat Vinnie thou...

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEyYGNX_TP4[/youtube] The 484 comments on the video are still interesting to read. Are some of the negative comments an explanation of why he stopped making music? Of course, for me, Vinnie is still interesting to watch and listen to in this video! I wish he c...

I thought there was no flutter on the Lick it up album. I was wrong, Vinnie uses it at 2.09 on Gimme more for example, and on other songs too (I listened to that great record today...).
Nice pictures here on this video...

tukoztukoz

Yes, I think it is too much expensive too. While doing some research about Harpejji, i found the following discussion about unusual instruments. The conversation is in french, but most of the videos are in english. There are some real crazy instruments... Amazing! http://forum.onlybass.com/index.php...

Vinnie as a diva and Ace laughing beside him. Then comes Gene, throwing some $ at them. At the end, Paul arrives and proposes a cup of coffee to everybody before going to Panda Express.

Great! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Tukoz you may be the bravest guitar dude on the planet? " I think I'll buy the Jackson Kelly for a grand and then go get my chainsaw".

Since I noticed several defects on some of my guitars, I thought about putting it here, to find the best solutions... The idea is to name the guitar model, show a picture of it if possible, and then propose a solution (if there is any...) I'll start with my Jackson Gold 30th anniversary I already sh...

Yes, you're right... Enough butchering!

I'm wondering what brand of Matsumoku guitar is the guitar I used for this project. I would say a Westone, as I found that pic on the web:

Nice Ibanez, Slayer! While seeing Tom Palecki's great job on Wolfi's RR I got a bad idea : there's a Jackson US Kelly2 eerie to sell at 1000 $. It's really tempting to buy it, and then cut it and transform it into a VVV, with nice piecesof wood and a pro painting... Technically it would play the sam...

Just checked about Rogers on Wikipdia : On August 26, 2006, the Yamaha Corporation of America announced that it had acquired the intellectual property rights to the Rogers Drum Company at the BMMC bankruptcy court-ordered auction. "Opportunities to acquire a well-respected brand, that is so treasure...

Nice!
I learned some basic drums in the nineties, and still play sometimes. Even in my car I often stomp with my feet when I drive on the freeway... I own an old Rogers drumset (not in a very good condition), a Roland TD-7, and a kid drumkit.

What was this anger management treatment for Vinnie ? Was it like eating Snickers, because "you're not you when you're hungry"?

Yeah, that is not even close.

Thanks for the compliment!

This is going to be fascinating to see what the finished product looks like and sounds like. This may be the first attempt known of a guitar modified into a Double V? Can't hardly wait for you to finish this project! Kev Someone already did modify a guitar into a double V : http://guitar-dreamer.bl...

Hey, tukoztukoz. Before I ask this question, let me state what you have done is brilliant. But I'm just wondering. Wouldn't it been better to slice off the whole neck, as in you'd end up with a neck thru situation and then attach the wings instead of jigsaw puzzling the thing together. http://vvfor...

It was like working as a dentist on a big tooth today, with a dremel as dental bur... Wolfi knows about that!
Still have to sandpaper it

tukoztukoz

The neck profile is fine, I think it's a C shape. Unfortunately I'll have to paint it, because wood is not very vinnyish...
This neck is also strangely narrow : I'll have to work on the locking Floyd piece to get the first and sixth string on the frets...
Dremels can do anything!

tukoztukoz

This is really so creative. Never in a million years could I have imagined doing something like this but this really looks cool. How did this guitar play before you modified it? I have no idea... A friend found it in a trashbin and gave it to me. It was half of a double-guitar. I think it'll sound ...

Screws are done. I did another back piece, because the other one wasn't ok.

But a Sure Claw is for setting the springs' tension easily, which is different from a tremsetter (hipshot). Am I correct?
Anyway I definitely have to try one of those tremsetters!

I find it strange that people like Steve Vai use a tremsetter. Aren't Floyd always supposed to stay in tune ? the idea behind a tremsetter is to stabilize tuning when you break a string or when you are making double bends(ala country style). The way a Floyd-or any kind of floating -trem works, when...

Oh, tukoztukoz, stay tuned. VVFF elders have some Guitar Hardware that will literally make your head spin. I'll be very happy with it... It's funny that I've been playing the guitar for almost 30 years ( :shock: time goes so fast!) never really caring about guitar hardware, and now it's been three ...

Still love this guitar, but I think they could have made a better job on the frets/binding: the E-string sometimes gets stuck between the binding and the fret (frets one to five), producing noises
