Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Vinnie should come out and explain the reason behind him changing at least 3 rr v's after kiss to pink headstocks just to clarify when and why. I think in boys are gonna rock video he had one rr v with pink headstock.. That's the one he threw I think. I could see him changing one for that video to match the vv model one he was using.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
If anyone can get a clean still from guitar at end of boyz are gonna rock video ( one he smashes and puts into amp) this may be the florida one. It's been made to look like vv model but it's an rr v with pink headstock and fake shadow v
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Now this is even weirder. Reverse shark inlays but black headstock with new logo. The others had gold original logo
I have close up but dont have time to upload

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
My guess is this is not a gold one. I think vv may have had one more reverse inlay one but maybe he got it after he left kiss. Or for this ad jackson wanted new logo and changed it. If that's the case why did he change headstock 3 times?

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
It would be so easy and nice to know.
P.S. No one in that ad could be proud of the clothes they were wearing!!!

i liked Vinnie's jacket, he said it was sold years ago.
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
To me pink on the jackson ad is same as pink on the hard rock/juliens ones. However the first 3 pink ones from liu to me seemed to be a warmer more red pink. Could just be light temperature though.

We should start a new thread about that official pink color!

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I think there is a picture of vv with a pink headstock dot inlay jackson somewhere to add to the mystery. I think it's from namm 84 or 85 after he left kiss. Can not find it just now.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
The '96 KISS convention Rhoads had a pink headstock, though it was missing the neck p/u but that's no biggie.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
By 96 Vinnie's Rhoads guitars were suspect to me. I always thought to myself, where the hell did he pick up that guitar from? I did not associate it with his 80's guitars, it looked like some crap he picked up super cheap at the time.shramiac wrote:The '96 KISS convention Rhoads had a pink headstock, though it was missing the neck p/u but that's no biggie.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
clearly 3 vol controls and a pick up selector. Not sure florida hard rock has that
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Without a doubt this from juliens has never been photographed in kiss. Not the same vol controls

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
So, we have never ever seen Vinnie again with black headstocks after KISS, right?
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Yes never but he was never photographed with those rr v's after kiss apart from kiss expo. Never in vvi or publicity
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I am no expert but to me in the live shot it's one vol control and 2 pick up on off switches but could just have lost the controllers.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I don't believe that juliens guitar has ever been photographed in kiss. I see no vv guitar with three vol controls in a line like that.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Vinnie like to sell his guitars to Hard Rock Cafes... I think he bought ten or twenty RR1 in the nineties and sold them occasionally to get some cash...

yes that's very possible
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Shram so what or which is juliens one? I see no matches at all for that one, not even close
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I am not so sure in 90s too many reverse inlay necks around though
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Shram the one you think is in hard rock is different as well
Different vol controls etc. Liu one has screw in plastic scratch plate (ok wrong name)

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I see no matches to liu guitars at all. I only see two liu / creatures reverse inlay rr's and one non reverse. All black headstocks and all with different controls
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Shram I am now convinced that the pataya beach and juliens jacksons have never been photographed or played in kiss. As for florida hard rock I will have to look again but I am sure not from kiss either

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
If it's pink resprayed headstocks, then who did the job? It seems to be well done, Vinnie couldn't do that by himself.
I'd say those pink headstocks have never been resprayed. Maybe Jackson offered those to Vinnie during VVI days?

Why he has never been seen with black headstocks again?

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Well I have spoken to jackson about the one in Cardiff and they told me not even a real jackson unless they were fooled by something, so I don't think it's from vvi era
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
It's clear that all the pickguards are different to kiss ones, all controls in different places or different configurations or different controllers, different paint jobs, different logos, all have non original tremolo and I think pick ups are not original either. What's really sealing the lie to me is he says the juliens guitar has original concert played strings in it. So for that to happen he woukd have had trem removed as it's 100% certain he never used that type of tremolo that's in the juliens guitar, then had pick guard removed, then had position of vol controls moved around, then holes filled, new pickguardand new paint, change color of headstock and hardware .... But then after ALL THAT he decided to put back a used set of strings from the last kiss showche played. So firstly why make changes if putting back old strings? Why spend all that money to have it just sit forever? The original strings claim seals the deal that the juliens guitar is one big lie after another.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
What we know 100% is vv never had fine tuning tremolo in kiss or vvi. What we know is he never had pink headstock in kiss and I believe that he never had any guitar with same control set up as juliens guitar (and hard rock ones too). So based on that (I know vv told juliens he had hard time with tremolo so switched to the fine tuners one on juliens but this was never used or photographed with kiss) so then we believe he had paint changed, tremolo and controls changed after kiss which is true. Like i said never seen in kiss. So to put original stage played strings back on after all these mods is total bullshit. Complete lie. I will hopefully find owner of this guitar and pass on the info. Then they can do research.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Even if just one of thrse mods like changing tremolo or headstock paint why would he go through trouble of looking after stage played strings and putting back on? If he never intended to play it again I coukd see maybe putting old strings back on but if he didbt intend to play why do all the mods? It's totalling ridiculous and fraud. It's fraud on two counts. One he did not claim this guitar or any in juliens auction in his bankruptcy declarations and two it's fraud because the description is not correct at all.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I say the owner sends it to grover jackson for inspection.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Exactly Dino, none of his guitars are just as they were last played in KISS. The trems on them were not made until 1987 either.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Yes so concert played strings put onto a post 1987 tremolo. Total bs. My theory that he had some bought to smash in boys are gonna rock video could fit. He made that one look like a vv model with fake shadow fin. He smashed one and put one through an amp. Most likely bought some cheap rr v's for boys are gonna rock on video budget and had them painted to.match his vv model with pink headstocks etc. I find it hard to.believe he smashed his prototypes for that video
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
F FOR FAKE!! Slim chance it is the skeleton of a kiss guitar but I really doubt it. Even inlay markings don't match
