I just checked a few Jackson catalogs from 1986 to 1990. I didn't find anything about Vinnie or his VVV model, except this picture :

The V inlays is a great idea, but I think I should have taken more time to do them. They look OK on the pictures though, or a few feet away... I'm thinking about reco...

I've just learned that Gibson made a superstrat in the eighties : The U-2! It seems to be rare.
There's one on sale these days, someone offers 300 $ approx. 3 days left until the end of auction.
The guitar is not in a great condition.

Re: Whammy bar technique-FLUTTER

It's less obvious than on Animal, it's true. Maybe the '83 trem he used was tired and didn't flutter a lot, like some Fender Jazzmaster with a floating trem (flutters, but very discretly).

Too bad Vinnie doesn't talk about this directly...
