The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Juliens are auctioning off a couple of VV owned guitars in their upcoming RnR Icons and Idols Auction:

Thoughts on the descriptions????

Well, well, well! Both have had a pull up route added (the first one looks huuuuuge) but they both appear to be sporting old NFT Floyds and appropriate pickups and controls! Hmmm... we may well be onto some genuine stuff here.

Good pick up Dr.

Looks like the real deal on both counts. Both even have the NFT Floyd on them . If Vinnie was still strumming, one would think he would be hoarding the NFT bridges. Maybe the auction house forced him to put the authentic stuff on them after a few VVFF members called them ?

Hah!

NFT Floyds are back in production, so no need to horde them anymore.

True but those look like the original trems. Something to be said for the real deal.

So the prices of these guitars start at 4000$ and 10000$. I still don't understand how come the AZG went for 2000$, even though the starting price was 5000$. Are those starting prices for real? Anybody can explain?

maybe they lower the prices if there are no bids

Sorry, I call bullshit. It seems every Jackson Vinnie ever touched went back to Jackson for bullshit reasons, some even twice.

Where is he finding these guitars?

There is NO way Jackson would have performed that nasty trem route on the dot inlay guitar, that is beyond a joke. And of course when they repainted it, for no reason, and put in that swimming pool trem route, they updated the logo, cause guitars are like cars, when you bring them in for a service you get the logo updated, like when your car gets its software updated to the latest when you bring it in to the dealer. I know I can't wait to get my headstocks redone when I take them to my guy for a setup.

The second guitar we know could not have been used on Creatures, he only had reverse sharkfin guitars on that tour. So saying it went back to Jackson first to get painted pink is crap, and therefore it probably didn't have to go back to get the headstock/logo redone either, as it should be a black headstock with a white logo for the Lick It Up/All Hell's Breaking Loose guitar.

And then, a quick search finds this thread: http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/26434- ... s-question

RR0213 is not anything like this guitar it seems??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How can he sell two original white rr v's through juliens? How? He now had two white? Pictures please? Sorry I agree with vic. If these are real the others are fake.

Someone send both white one he sold and re sprayed white to grover jackson. I can not believe he is saying that he had two white. We need to see photo supplied with white one that sold as in description. Bag of SHITE!

Weirdly poor display room

What's this a new auction with different guitars?

Yes. Possibly the LIU Rhoads and the other is the dot neck Rhoads that was used in the CotN promo photos when it was white. Both have been hacked up a bit especially the dot neck one.

All these auctions make me highly doubt he plans on recording anything new. Purely speculation of course, but if he's selling all his guitars off, kinda seems like he gave up.

If I could've afforded any of these though, Id've gone for the Pear. Whoever got that is one lucky bastard. I'm surprised the IRS hasn't raised a stink, didn't he claim not to have any of these in his bankruptcy proceedings?

Sold

$ 6000 and $ 20000 respectively.
Vincent got $ 26000 cash

Serious? Who would pay 20k?

Hopefully a big chunk of it will get sent to Tom! Clear debts and the deck, Vinnie. Clean slate, fresh start.

Sammy, did the dot neck price move at the auction? I looked the other day and it had an online bid of $6000 pre auction I thought? May have been $5000 though, hence me asking. Either way, it was too high for me.

With the ''LIU'' Rhoads going for $20000, I would have thought the first dot neck Rhoads ever built, would have gone for a touch more?

Yes it moved but now im not sure since i started looking from 10 lots earlier...i don't remember
But yes it sold

Happy for him that he has a little monetary cushion. We can hope that he would make amends and do right by a certain people but we have wished for those things for many years. We have asked for a retirement statement, apologies to certain fans and guitar bulders, etc...
To do so anymore would be spinning the wheels of our crazy train even further.

Let's just be happy for the Vinnie and continue to put forth positive energy towards him and people like Tom Palecki. We will get Mr. Palecki's work out there and drum up some well deserved business for him .

i can help Tom with a guitar showcase only website.

This is funny! Look at that neck PU : same one on both guitars! The screws are in the same position!!!

Good eye, i noticed the same, so he swapped the VVV PU to the dot inlay, he is sold it with the wrong parts.

I have to admit that your detective work is impressive. The PU Ring has the same bow to it as well.

Nah. Low E pole is different.

???

Hah! I was looking at the wrong p/u! D'oh!

Yes, the poles look the same on the neck p/u on the dot neck as they do on the VVV bridge p/u.

Those two pink ones are in quite bad condition. It looks like the metal parts are rusted.

So I bet silver double v is without a neck pickup at moment

Yes, and he might be looking on his old items what to fit in there, we might see them go for auction soon

on the pink one there are three holes near the top right of the scratchplate.....two adiacent ones and,lower, another one on the top right of the pickguard,plus you can see the pickup routing hole on the top between the tip of the pu ring and the fretboard.......like the neck pu wasn't properly placed...

It may not have sold. 2000 may have been hugest bid but didnt meet the reserve price? 2000 was a good deal

Lot closed - Winning bid:$2,880
Estimate:
$10,000 - $20,000

http://www.julienslive.com/view-auction ... lot/63871/

Awake up call to VV on value and what fans are willing or can afford to pay
Boom there it is $2800

I wonder who bought it. You know it may say sold but it may not have. Many factors like it may say sold for everything that doesn't meet the reserve etc. I don't think we can say 100% the guitar sold.

What about Vinnie buying his own guitars?

I can't see that, that's what happening here. Very happy that Vinnie is getting some serious dough for his old fleet of guitars. I'll be ecstatic when Vinnie sends a decent wad to Tom for his hard work!

Well intended genuine thought but ...........................

Pmsl luv it

Has anyone ever figured out how many Pink Jackson RR's Vinnie owned? The more I read on it, it gets more confusing.

Now Snowden says he has one of them.

Yes, my brain has gone to mush now too!

If Snowden has one we have to see.

It was pointed out to me that one of the Pink RR's sold last year had a Kahler trem cutaway and not one you would have for a floyd. This really brings up a new batch of questions about one of those guitars.

its all a mystery. i think one is real but i have no idea about the others. some are for sure not described correctly.
