The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

TJMonster

looking at the video the shadow doesn't look as stubby. maybe the lens on the first camera made the guitar look slighly squashed (wide angle lens). I got to say the necks and paint look immense. the head stock too. i think these are extremely well made. i take back the 4k thing.. maybe 6k is a bett...

TJMonster

As I said, if anyone buys it and is not happy with the set up, I'll set it up for free. Just ship it here and back.

TJMonster

if he was smart ( and i know your reading this vinnie so get your self a pen or pencil ) he'd email or call GFS (thats guitarfetsh.com) have them make you your own VV model pickup for you guitar then you could have your sound , since youd be the biggest artist theyd have ....im sure theyd work with...

TJMonster

Like I said, I'm no guitar player, but just because a guitar contains 'quality' components doesn't make it a great sounding guitar. I liken it to putting "Rolls Royce" engines on Qantas Jets.....sure, every one know Rolls Royce make quality engines, but hey, every time a Qantas plane engine blows u...

TJMonster

it wouldn't make any difference in tone. its all cosmetic for the most part.

TJMonster

they are close. but I still feel the shadow is just a hair thick at its base. I took the V and shined a light on it to get an idea of how the actually shadow would look. Thats why it doesn't look right to me. thats all. If it was $4g I might buy one.

TJMonster

Those are NOT the jackson dimensions. Those are not even the carvin dimensions. Those are new dimensions. I have looked and measured this guitar a hundred times over the last 18 years. These are the FIRST to ever have the same dimensions. They are very well crafted though. Tom is a great luthier. Th...

TJMonster

TJ , I have to disagree. The dimensions are damn near perfect even though I do like the variations in wing length I've seen on other guitars. Vinnie listened to his fans that preferred the "Jackson look " instead of the early 1990's Pear sleek look. Those of us are stuck on the Jackson because it's...

TJMonster

aaahhhh hmmmmm. "Q: Has Vinnie played the guitars yet? A: No, he's only seen pictures." Im really biting my lips.............Seriously..........really.............really.... OH FUCK IT! HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON SOMETHING YOU HAVENT EVEN TOUCHED!!!!! Sorry, i have had a bit to drink toni...

TJMonster

After close inspection of the pics, Sorry, I feel that the shadow v is too stubby looking and so it the head stock. Even though, YES its the official model. In my eyes is just doesn't flow properly. just my opinion.

TJMonster

WOW! Those guys are pretty brutal. ESP isn't much better with their custom shop pricing though.

TJMonster

From what I understand, Slayers wife paid for one and never received it.

TJMonster

nope, thats a floyd pro.http://www.gpdusa.com/Floyd_Rose_Pro-Fl ... ome_1.html

TJMonster

Yeah im Dino on this one.

TJMonster

Its driving me nuts I can't see the inlay shape!!!!!!

TJMonster

Yeah, Ive got to get some GOOD pics together. I hope to get a really good pic of one of those guitars. Looks like tom did a really great job on them.

TJMonster

oh I was just joking Dino. With the whole TM1 TJM, ya know....

TJMonster

I dont know, I think he used my dimensions......

lol.

TJMonster

a quote from facebook after seeing the photo of the 4 vv guitars.
"Daniel Threadgold Firewood series..."

TJMonster

take that back, like a quarter an hour! wow.

TJMonster

You can't hand make a guitar for 1k. Just not happening. You'll lose money on a quality built neck through guitar. You'd have to work for $2 an hour.

TJMonster

We know you couldn't teej. Lol j/k bro.

TJMonster

Well, from building less than 30 guitars and repairing probably over a few thousand in my life. If anyone buys this guitar, and doesn't like the way it plays, I'll fix it for free. I can make a tesco play like a prs. All you would have to do is ship it here and back.

TJMonster

4K is a good price for a custom guitar. Its a fair price. The vv is very hard to make and SUPER hard to paint as the paint likes to run in certain spots. So if he sells them for 5k, Id say thats fair. I only charged half of that but, Im not out for profit and mine have nothing to do with vinnie. I j...

TJMonster

3 to 4 weeks to get the catalog you just paid $50 fucking dollars for!?!?!? God, how long is the build time on the guitar? 3 years?

TJMonster

It's not me guys. Good luck too him.

TJMonster

Hey wolf, Im waiting for Bill to give me the go ahead on the paint. Ill get some pics up this week of it.

TJMonster

oh, and prices are guitar specific these days. Anywhere from $1200 to $3,000.

Sorry haven't been around, my job sucks. If I can sell more guitars I can quit! SO if you wanna help me out Ill help you guys out. Getting on this site with an iphone isn't very entertaining.

TJMonster

Just incase anyone is interested, I have another VV ready for paint. 1 pickup, reg head, Identical to Clints just not painted. Has a carvin neck though. Contact me for price.

TJMonster

Yeah, we are all cover right now. That was "your love" by the outfield. I think the only songs I had solos on were the songs our girl sang and we dropped all those. If you go to the account, there's a lita ford song I do a solo on.

TJMonster

Here is some eye candy. The blonde in the red skirt. To bad she smoked...

TJMonster

There was a chick there with a strap on. I threw a condom off my guitar at her.

TJMonster

What? It's not like your ever gonna pay a cover to see us. I don't think any of you live near south bend Indiana.

TJMonster

This is our show from saturday. The lead player is Greg Dewald. He basically taught all the guitar players in town. Except me, I'm magazine taught lol.

Matt may have edited the ball flight. I hit 3. 2 went right that one was straight. I'd been hitting really bad duck hooks all week but choked on camera though lol. I actually practiced the tiger woods through..

TJMonster

Synister Gates is currently my biggest influense.

TJMonster

Ha, well I was actually trying to hook it into the woods. Ended up about 280 in the center. The group that played through while we were taping stole my ball too.

TJMonster

Shramiac, this ones for you buddy!

TJMonster

Not a very good one. The fingerboard is redwood, not ebony. My friend Jeff has a first year production gold rhoads in near mint condition. O have fondled it many times! Lol

TJMonster

Well, bad comparison I guess. Bowling balls understand their purpose and know how to stay in the bag, under the nudie mags in the closet. And when you wear out bowling ball holes you can have them redrilled.

TJMonster

Well Gene, they don't go with logic very well. My ex is super hot, she has the logic of a bowling ball.

TJMonster

anything interesting? TJ Is Walnut strong enough for a neck? I wanted a maple body with a walnut neck to kind of warm up the maple and get an ebony fingerboard, I was thinking of a Kramer Tele thing or I was thinking of a reversed body Rhoads V if thats not too strange to play.. would something lik...

TJMonster

For Christmas, I want all guitars I'm working on out of my house!

TJMonster

Private carrier is the way to go. If you can find one.

TJMonster

Www.ibeamcases.com

TJMonster

I'll post a link to his site as soon as I can get to a real computer.

TJMonster

What does proven mean specifically?

TJMonster

Sorry, I have a guy that makes them. Not a hut lol!

TJMonster

I have a hut that custom makes cases for $250 and they are form fitted. Sorry I haven't been around, I had to play bass for a band last weekend and had to cram songs over the last 2 weeks.

TJMonster

Trust me genebaby, it's a safe place if your doing your job right. As I said there was sign there in which depicted a man getting smashed by the machine and to stand where he was, you have to grab the sign to get there!
