this and a Randy Rhoads custom will be mine soon

Trixxy

there is gonna be some awesome shit happening very soon involving a new band, maybe a cd, so please check either my flying v's facebook or http://www.facebook.com/Holoflash it wont be for a couple months but once it does you will be the first to know and hear

Trixxy

nothing is wrong, i just want a more retro look with the v, its going to look like it came straight from the Kramer factory when i'm done, the mighty mite would be a backup just incase, but i wont know until i get back to nebraska, get the neck and finish the guitar and put it under tension, if all ...

Trixxy

im replacing the mighty mite neck with a kramer neck, im also going to change the finish that i'm going to use, so no pink and silver. its still going to look and sound awesome

Trixxy

its going to go along with the name of my band that is in the making, i cant say the name of the band cuz it will give it away, Hint #1 Kramer
its not a guitar, its going on the vvv

Trixxy

i know its taking a long ass time to get the guitar finished and displayed, but some family shit happened and i had to go to CA, i will be there until June unfortunatley, but hope is not lost, i came up with a new idea and it will be absolutley kickass, this is just an update so please dont shoot th...

Trixxy

i'm kind of a Chris Holmes fanboy, if i was wearing my leather and had my black v i would be a twin, except he's taller...and drunker

Trixxy

well my band, being me at the moment brings big hair, leather, fog, lights, stage presence and purple Kramers

i'm a little jealous

Trixxy

my fog machine is in nebraska

Trixxy

$30 stage lights

Trixxy

i use stage lights that i got from the flea market, and a fog machine, and alot of hairspray

Trixxy

what do you use to make your show better?

Trixxy

i might have to settle with a guitarfetish floyd, theres an original one ebay for 100 bucks but thats money i dont have

Trixxy

once it is painted i will show many pictures of it from all sides,

Trixxy

i wanted to wait until it was finished and strung up to show it off but i decided to give you guys a mental picture of what it looks like now, besides it would spoil the complete badassness of the guitar if i showed it early, the things holding me back are paint, hardware, and an ORIGINAL floyd brid...

Trixxy

Google, it wasn't supposed to take this long to finish but money got tight and now i have to find a job otherwise it aint gettin finished

Trixxy

This is the v's current condition, imagine that theres a filler line on the bottom right shadow fin, the neck has a black reversed headstock and the floyd holes are filled, this is not the actual guitar but it is very close to what mine looks like now

Trixxy

time for the jackson rrvvv to step up to the workshop floor, silver flake with purple flake stripes? yay Van Halen!!!!
ps, i gave the v to my friend in exchange for his unfinished rhoads body

Trixxy

well this just in, the owner just told me EXACTLY why he abandoned the v in 89, some guitar tech told him that it was made from cheap ass PLYWOOD and that it wasn't worth the time and money to fix....FUCK, but not all is lost, the guitar was free and i have a vinnie looking alternative being made, b...

Trixxy

pictures and a video once its done

Trixxy

he doesn't want his name on the internet until he gets enough experience and starts up his business, he originally didn't want to go near my V, but i convinced him to try and fix it, atleast its free

Trixxy

Trixxy

i would but he doesn't have internet yet, besides, waiting is part of the fun

Trixxy

the owner said it was fucked up when he got it minus the fin crack, as for info, i dont have much, he wanted to resell the guitar after he fixed it. i asked him who vinnie vincent was and he said who the fuck is vinnie vincent. and thats all i know, as for pictures, the guitar is in my friends shop ...

Trixxy

its not that bad, the lines are straight, the neck pocket would be covered by the neck, the only bad thing is the crack in the fin

Trixxy

well that sucks, the owner said that he got rid of the neck because it was split in the middle, the neck pocket is a bit messy, its still gonna look and sound awesome though, ill send pictures and a video once its done

Trixxy

it will be ALL SYSTEMS GO with the restoration once the shadow fins are fixed

Trixxy

i am going to try and use a lefty jackson neck or a mighty mite copy, as for the pickup i am going to use a vintage emg h2a, 1 vol, 1 boost, 1 tone. sometimes prototypes had bolt on necks i knew someone who used to have a prototype jackson king v with a bolt on neck, it got stolen unfortunately

Trixxy

the owner said that some dude with black and pink hair gave it to him from a bus window in late 86 or early 87. he tried to find someone who could fix it and gave up in early 89, a couple months later the sewage line broke and the breaker box shorted out causing a small fire. he decided it wasn't wo...

my friend is going to call the owner today to find out where the guitar came from.

Trixxy

i was working with someone to clean up a building that was abandoned in 1989, i went into the garage and found a big dumpster, it was in the corner covered by furniture and other random crap, i cleared off the top and opened it and that's when i saw the top fin sticking out of the filth, the guitar ...

Trixxy

cant its in the shop unfortunately, the fins were cracked and most of the paint was gone

Trixxy

pics will be revealed once it is repaired. i will tell you that the paint used to be pink and silver, 1 pickup
