Great pics, thanks for the share rog2002 ! I saw them at the Patriot Center (George Mason University) Probably not too far from here. Freddy I was also at the show in Fairfax at the Patriot Center...but I was way in the back in a seat for that one. That show was about a month before the Hampton sho...

FREDDYB3

From what I can remember, it was good at the 2 shows I attended. There was a percentage of
fans that were there for both Alice and VVI . What percentage that was, I have no idea and I am sure varied from show to show.

FREDDYB3

Their best line-up IMHO

Great Post Kev and again awesome Guitar collection. Love the stories that go with each of these instruments
Thanks for sharing !

FREDDYB3

Great Job Sammy !

They certainly knew by the night of the Hammerjacks show in Baltimore that the band was falling apart.
That night was the 1st time I heard substantiated talk of it happening. Vinnie's "new" manager at the time, was with him that night at the show.

FREDDYB3

Great pics Thanks for sharing strangeways

with all that said, Genebaby just put in his top bid.... J/J Vic

Hi n3p, happy new year my friend.

Someone posted in another tread (not sure where) that the Hard Rock in Cardiff did close down.
To my knowledge, it's unclear what happened to the guitar on display there.
Maybe Dino has some info on that ?

FREDDYB3

A couple of points for thought: The one factor that has never been mentioned is builders use of "fretboard dye" all wood grain and color is not the same (i.e one piece of ebony will not have the same grain or color as another) Fretboard dye is used to create the consistent even color and is used mor...

FREDDYB3

Awesome Timstar ! Great guitar too ! Thanks for sharing

FREDDYB3

My top three...in no particular order: Lick It Up Rock N Roll Over Love Gun And in reference to the "why" conversation going on: Well Kev, The worst of the 2 for me is Carnival of Souls. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. Jungle is a pretty good tune and probably the best song on the record for m...

FREDDYB3

My favorite is the Jackson. Since seeing an unobstructed version of the Carvin(Palecki), I have really grown fond of that as well. It still bothers me that someone butchered the silver/purple (originally pink/silver :wink: ) guitar with that neck pickup. Even the ring mount is hacked. Agree ....how...

Yes it is all a matter of opinion Dino... They are all a little bit different...there really aren't any 2 exactly alike which kinda makes the guitar a unique thing. Not all bad.... Great pic of the Ibanez though !

FREDDYB3

The bottom fin is a smidge too small. there are 2 basic keys to getting the design "right" ..this model misses them both I see it Freddie but could you elaborate ? Hi Rick, Happy New Year Bro.. Well of course they are all a little different... I guess it is my opinion that the Carvin design looks t...

FREDDYB3

Oh oooooooooh, Fred is talking about Monster Guitars now! :-) :-) :-) (I can't have 4 smiles in a row) :-) I really wasn't trying to get you to go there for the record as I have always respected where you were at and where you were coming from on the topic. Do you feel comfortable sharing what you ...

FREDDYB3

They used that ending on both the Creatures tour and the Lick it up tour... From my understanding Vinnie came up with that ending for the song.. Maybe that is why they scraped it..or they just didn't feel it fit anymore. That ending gave extra time for them on the tank turret / riser as it turned an...

FREDDYB3

Well Slayer.... That is the one it is trying to emulate, except everything about it is wrong and the workmanship is, well, you know !!! LOL... Sorry, did I say that out loud ? It is truly one of the biggest things that has irritated the living crap outta me over the years, if someone is trying to re...

FREDDYB3

Hell erg2 ..... that Starcaster kicks the crap outta my 1st electric guitar ...
a Global Les Paul copy... Best wishes to your son !

FREDDYB3

Have I ever said how much I love the Carvin VVV ....Just a beautiful guitar!

FREDDYB3

I know.... i understood the point totally. I was just teasing and laughing along ... no harm meant

FREDDYB3

Dino, don't i count ? I might have been one of a few, but i did take my avatar pic live at the Bayou in Georgetown. I have proof.. i was there ! lol J/J

FREDDYB3

ouch that was some quick math calculations Brainsaw... lol
sorry couldn't resist..the comment

FREDDYB3

Great rehearsal pics .. Thanks Rick and Dave for sharing.... I don't believe Dana's Arbor bass had a trem on it ?.... I think the light blue thing is the colored jack plug... unless someone is seeing something I am not. Okay, yeah the purple Carvin.... sorry misunderstood, i'll shut up now... :lol:

FREDDYB3

I know I am late on this topic... but just picked up my copy of it today on CD..
I think it sounds great ! May not be of interest to everyone, but something every true fan/collector should pick up.

FREDDYB3

Again... I have known David since '84... at least a full 2 years prior to VVI
Just a clarifaication... David and I lost touch sometime after '88-'89 and went years
without speaking. We re-connected thru facebook within the last year or so.

FREDDYB3

Dino, I haven't used either of the non fine tuning Floyd's on a guitar yet. The red "strat" that I put together has a Fender synchronized trem on it. I am in agreement with Slayer, I am not real found of it. The original Kramer guitar, that it started as, had the original Floyd on it. Hope that is c...

FREDDYB3

On the the hammerjack's video subject.... I believe they recorded all their paid concerts and it was a simple stationary video camera stationed right next to the sound board on the 2nd level. Several other videos shot there exist to this day

FREDDYB3

Yes, I agree Rick ....I think they would have filmed at least a portion of the VVI set... if nothing more than a test. I would be shocked, if something didn't exist. Finding it is another issue altogether. Iron Maiden also put out pro shot concert footage from the time that VVI was with them. So.......

FREDDYB3

LOL Getting it late , is better than never getting it at all Brainsaw.... Happy New Year to you my friend !

FREDDYB3

Well Shram, I have 2..... can you set up a meeting for me ?

FREDDYB3

Also, the guitars body never changed, only the necks changed

FREDDYB3

Just to clarify again... the last pic in the line of 4, is an altogether different neck then the 1st 3 pics. the 1st 3 pics are all the same pic, just enlarged 2 times. Does that make sense, seemed obvious to me ? As I said before the 4th pic maybe a altered Charvel logo, the 1st and the 2 enlargeme...

FREDDYB3

just as an fyi.... I still have the original Kramer 300st neck and loaded pickguard (wired) if anyone is interested in having them for parts or any other purpose.

FREDDYB3

Thank you Vic, my 1st "build" lol
Kev and all the guys here have so many great guitars... thanks everyone for sharing all the great pics.

FREDDYB3

Yes Sir Grand Massa Poon, fully scalloped 1 piece hard rock maple neck ! Thank you very much Uncle Kev. Cardinal Red to be exact , nitrocellulose lacquer. It really needed to be properly buffed out, unfortunately I do not own a electric buffing wheel. 1st attempt for me with the nitrocellulose (spra...

FREDDYB3

Okay, it not actually a Fender, but here is some pics of my latest edition.. A year or so ago, I purchased an old Kramer Striker 300st basically for the original non-fine tuning Floyd that was on it. Then I decided to rebuild the guitar as a project. Here are a few pics of what it was originally and...

FREDDYB3

Obviously these are 2 different necks, by the fretboards alone. The logos may be the same, only altered with a black marker, possibly. However, I think if you look closely at entirety of both logo's you may conclude that they are indeed different. See what you think ?

FREDDYB3

As previously mentioned it is my belief that the Red "strat" style guitar being discussed here had at least 3 different necks on it in a relatively short time period. I have posted some close up's previously of one of the maple one piece necks, and it's logo as well as shots of the neck with the dar...

FREDDYB3

@ heavystef ..... just an fyi.... I have done business with the Stratosphere before and they are very fast and reputable. I can give a good recommendation of them, if you are still thinking about purchasing parts from them. Just a thought... Good luck on your build.

FREDDYB3

Just wanted to wish everyone at the VVFF a very Merry Christmas,
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year !

FREDDYB3

never mind, i can see them now....

FREDDYB3

Yes Rick, I believe the Jackson logo on that 1 piece maple neck is of the early handpainted variety... The one with the large "J" and large "K" similar to the logo that is on the headstock of the white Concord V that is in the pic of Randy that you posted. For some reason the pics that I posted are ...

FREDDYB3

I agree mylittleguitar does a awesome job on these..... On the Jackson logo, I think it was one of the 1st Jackson logo's ...I'll check my pic file to see if i have a better, mofre clear shot of it.... but if you look close, I think you can see it's not the Charvel logo

FREDDYB3

In my opinion that red "strat style" guitar that he used on the C.O.T.N tour had at least 3 photographed different neck changes. The pics I posted show 2 of the 3 .... The pic of the 3rd one I have on a poster and it doesn't look like a Charvel or Jackson logo but it's a logo that I do not recognize .
