If I could custom make it I would have mahogany top as well. No bridge pickup and a fred stuart pa1946 pickup in neck. Best pick up ever in my opinion. Loud as hell and you can get hot paf tone but so much more and a great jazz tone as well. Crazy I was actually thinking earlier this week about a n...

He makes what you want for 2500. he even has legal brazilian rosewood Hmm unless I have read the ban and legal stuff completely wrong... there is no such thing as legal Brazilian rose wood unless cut prior to 92 or possibly re- purposed Although he's having them built in Paraguay I just wouldn't ha...

While I have the deepest empathy for anyone going through health and financial problems I can not in good conscious provide to someone who has the means to provide for themselves but just will not.

THAT IS AMAZING !!

Ok starting to get excited .. thursday its 'THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE LAND" not sure my daughter has seen me geek out on a band before , shes in for a treat LOLL

The angle of the neck, recessed Floyd or not, makes zero difference to the action. I probably like it too low, it's a problem sometimes. Not true.. actually one defines the other. This may help. http://www.tundraman.com/Guitars/NeckAngle/index.php I stand by what I said, as we are talking about gui...

Jeff Beck uses a two point trem and has since they were available, Malmsteen has always used a vintage style trem . There is a big difference in what they can do and stay in tune, be playable and not damage the body. The tremolo was invented by the devil.

Seems like you went in with a bit of a Ace chip on your shoulder ... Not a bad review though and in the end pretty much gave the album a B myself. I think the way he did the album is really the only way he can do one. The days of top shelf studios and producers are over, there's really no money to r...

Dude this Ferguson crap is ridicules, some media moron stopped me at a QT by my home 18 miles from Ferguson and asked me how its affecting my life. I told him other than you guys turning it into a magnet for every idiot with a grudge it don't.

AZG " Arizona Guitars" formally PEAR Guitars is Tom Palecki and has no association with TM1 or Vinnie . Tom is a small builder and graphic artist that happens to extremely skilled and a nice guy who was another in a long line screwed by Cusano.

He reckons neck will hold up alright. It's bolted via 2 threaded inserts in the heel and glued onto the body. Oh yeah it should hold to the body fairly well, the relief is what I was talking about and the neck twisting. There has been a lot of pine used for bodys I believe Dean made a acoustic body...

1031

Thats very cool.... I doubt the neck "if its pine" holds true for long. But outstanding effort for great cause !! cudos !
One of my favotite builds was a notty pine tele white washed... the body was crazy soft though I think you could dent it setting on your lap LOL.

1031

Cool deal !

[/quote]And there's the problem right there. Vinnie isn't friends with anyone on this board, doesn't want to be, and never will be. Any fan of Vinnie's that ever dreamed of being his friend is deluded. [/quote] be·friend biˈfrend/Submit verb past tense: befriended; past participle: befriended act a...

goinblind : I think at first glance it does seem a bit Fanboy gone wrong when you read some of the stuff. But I believe if you back up and look at it in the context of the history some of these guys had with Vinnie it becomes understandable. At least for the long time members of this board, there ar...

The boys in Def Leppard are having a blast on this tour. I guess the dead daisy's are going to open up when I see them later this month. That's Richard Fortus other band when hes not doing the Guns and Roses thing. Plus hes a local boy. My daughters best friend's uncle is taking her and has some con...

It's a tribute the KISS Vinnie Vincent Creatures of the night guitar but not an exact replica.

That always kills me, "its the guitar like Vinnie played !!" well not really but were really close !

It is a sweet guitar though

1031

The guitar industry is definitely in a pickle, there are few if any guitars holding there value. The mega mass production of guitars has killed any serious investment guitars to far and few. Even the vintage market has taken a huge hit in value resale. Sure there are few golden guitars that will alw...

1031

I feel icky. No reason to Rick, Lots of people go through this plus Vinnie has been pretty non functional for a while we all know it. If he is with family, he may actually get some help. He may never play or release music but getting his life back in order just being a normal person. Sometimes that...

Clearwaters was the last people who owned the home.. Diane bought the home in 2004 in 2011 she put Vinnie on the deed with the house. House is only 2 bed room 1300 sq feet and is being set as a attempted short sale basically they agree to sell the home for what they owe the bank. As long as it sells...

1031

Well, it's public information, though, Dino. Anyone could have stumbled upon it. I don't see anything about mortgages on the house and was wondering if it's an IRS lien for back taxes. Is there any chance maybe it was seized in relation to the bankruptcy case? I don't know if any court can seize a ...

1031

So hes for sure gone from that property and stopped paying the mortgage or is try to get a short sale with the bank before it goes full foreclosed.

First a brand new just delivered 120th anniversary Gibson Explorer still had the play dough smell in the case. Now this guitar costs $1,999.00 and the Explorer is one of my favorite of all time shaped guitars. The setup and fret condition from the factory was stupid shoddy, so much I made sure that ...

1031

Great guitar player .. great champion of the blues. Sad but really one of few true american music art forms going one by one.

1031

Thanks for that what a awsome collection

1031

Well it took a few design changes to get things to look and work. I originally wanted to do a run of crazy fabric style but the material was very uncooperative trying to get a clean seam and reacted to one glue bad and another glue not at all. So went with a cool looking carbon fiber. Went with a sl...

1031

A clients but still worth posting.. 1968 Telecaster getting a setup and new nut.. also a little verification on all parts since its going up for sale.. got an extra $7400 it can b yours LOL !

He wont play or release anything .. no one is gonna do biz with him on a music level and a t-shirt isn't really that exciting all things considered . So its really pretty much a wrap until he does.

1031

few cabs in various stages of build ... two of these are gonna be custom coverings living room style cabs . 13 ply birch. Got everything except the custom grill cloth and piping http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc185/rlee1031/10306232_694597707260516_5952385307947169164_n_zpse82155ea.jpg http://i2...

1031

Pretty good set list... wish I could make those kinda bucks playing 13 songs a night.

1031

One of the shops I had done some work gave it to me for saving their bacon on a repair that went sideways.

Always wanted a hollow body, did a fret level and cut a bone nut for it. Not the greatest pickups but still a cool jazz box.

1031

So being paid in guitars for working on guitars has some cool zen like quality to it.. Got this today

1031

sweet ...

1031

One of my favorite mix matchs is a tele neck on a strat ... looks cool plays cool .... great guitar , just love real used real loved guitars.

1031

Finished the Carvin head box.. went with old school fuzzy of the 80's . working with that stuff was like having sex in a pool of eels .. there were some fun moments but don't think I would do it again. But I did get some 13 ply Baltic birch to do a couple cabinets .. one standard 2x12 one oversized ...

1031

Good read.. Dani you have to remember guys like Eric are working musicians. They have to have the ability to think of it as a job "a great job they love" but without that perspective that can't move from band to band.

1031

I like it !

1031

So on June 26th due to the CITES law it will be illegal to sell any guitar or anything else with Brazilian rosewood with out documentation that it was made pre band 1992 but if you had a repair on a 1959 Gibson Les paul "value $100,000 plus" to say the Brazilian fret board in 2010 where wood was add...

... no .. the micro tuning is achieved the same way as at the machine heads by tightening or loosening the tension on the string. There is no dampening. While its can be a pain system to set up properly its pretty efficient at what it does, I get a lot of floyed work and can get the set up about as ...

Tommy is great at covering Ace that's it, there is not one Tommy Thayer lick that any kid on the planet is sitting in there bed room trying to learn ....

Man Vinnie has no shame when it comes to screwing people over. How in the world will Tom get these back or payment with out legal action?

1031

Tom's a great luthier glad hes still working.... you gotta spill the beans on the builds he did PM me the details please...

1031

Awesome !

Vinnie well done this is the way to get fans interested in the Wiz once again !
