Ok, so, Vic, that implies...? Lot 354 was for certain never played with KISS or ?

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
What I'm wondering is how both these guitars look so similar today, when, taking into account a respray, only one could ever be his LIU guitar due to the inlays.
They are like copies of each other, is every pink Jackson Rhoads an ex Vinnie Vincent guitar?

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
So, facts concerning the guitars are still as confusing as they were the day this discussion started ? hehe..
You guys sure has gotten to the bottom of this, but you mean it is still a mystery where the original ( that pink guitar I sat as a 12 year old watching Vinnie play in that "Hockey-rink" in 1983) is still missing ? or ?...still with the original owner ?

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
and in this video, the carvin is in fact...silver... so... maybe we are all way way way off base in our assumptions?

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Yes the Carvin 6/12 is as silver as!
With Vinnie getting his first few Rhoads guitars in '82, it seems by those Jackson charts, that indeed it's a hell of a good chance that none of Vinnie's early Rhoads have serial numbers. When Dino took the pictures of the Hard Rock guitar when it was still in Cardiff, he said there was no number on it. Been waiting for the Hard Rock Hotel in Pattaya where the guitar is now to send me a real close up of the 22nd fret but it looks like Dino was right and there is no serial number on it.
Good work roustie!

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
The description is wrong. The headstock was never refinished while in kiss. Also seems unlikely he woukd change vol control after he left kiss but who knows http://www.julienslive.com/view-auction ... lot/63874/
Out of interest can you show me pic of double neck in silver from the video. Thanks

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
At the end of the video it looks silver to me. Can see why anyone could think it was black though with all the lighting on it, I know I did.
No blue/white/good dress comparisons please!

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
In the carvin ad he has black. I guess it could have just been a show piece.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
he may have also ordered it in black, or specified it that way and it looked too plain, so had it refinished? How far apart are the video and photo ad in a timeline?
also, i wonder if anyone has ever asked G.E. Smith about Vinnie, or his experiences in a band with him way back when...

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Very possible. I think pic was early 88 or late 87 and video summer 88. Carvin never really offered silver and I think vv woukd have had headstocks painted sane color as body if he had ordered it originally in silver so I think it is a respray or possibly a respray

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
He already has over 15 thousand without auction starting. I am now thinking he may get 25k plus

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Buyers are hit with a very hefty 25% "buyers premium" from Juliens too!!! Youcharama!!!!

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
I was at an auction recently and all the buyers paid 16% on top of their bid. 25% is a lot!

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Wow. Shocking someone bid 12500 for a guitar that at best is completely different looking to how it was in kiss.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Yeah, that's a lot of cash for a guitar that can't really be verified in many ways.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
At best it's what it says it is but with added pink headstock never seen in kiss at worst not from kiss at all. Matching photos would be a good idea

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Not sure how conclusive this might be, but this appears to show Vinnie using a pink headstock on the LIU Tour:
Much later obviously, but here's another with pink headstock that Vinnie played at the European expos - not the same guitar, but several similarities. Note the reverse triangle inlays:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExegnOTDbKA
A picture of the reverse of the pink auction guitar would be useful, as it appears the guitars took a battering on the reverse from Vinnie's bullet belts onstage:
None of these seem to help, but interesting all the same:

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Guessing it got a new coat due to the damage..... check the tip chipped off the headstock.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
The photo isn't good enough for the headstock, but it's probably his usual black headed Jacksons. Vinnie has never been seen in Kiss with a pink headed guitar, only in the 90's did they turn up, like that monstrosity he took around with him to the conventions. It looked as crappy as his makeup did back then.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Interesting! Did anyone register with Julien's? Be cool to find out what they went for. If the '92 Pear VVV sold at a good price, I hope Vinnie slings a bit of cash back to Tom. Fresh start....a fresh start.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Thanks, Sammy. Shame Tom's guitar only went for that.
The rest went for about what you think they would have. Congrats Vinnie.

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
So vinnie knows how much the azg's are worth. Not 10k as he believes. We all knew about 2500 was value. Apart from the pear has more value since coming as a vv's own collection. I hope someone here bought it actually. I think the double neck went for more than its worth and the handwritten lyrics are bullshit. Credit to vv for selling to dumb ass people.
Bye Bye
Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
The stage used jackson which has not been proven without doubt and certainly never used on stage with pink headstock and New logo went for 6 times what I think it's worth

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
Well lookie what we have here!!!! With all our waffling on about which guitar is which, we all missed something in the pictures that aeroflott posted....but Eagle Eye Freddy didn't!!!!
This guitar is not the Cardiff/Pattaya Hard Rock guitar!!!!
Regular inlays! Is this the LIU guitar????
Could you tell us where you took the photo or where you found the picture, aero???

Re: Hey Vinnie - Julien's Auction
And again headstock re painted if this is original. I am starting to think a vv fan within the corporate piece of crap restaurant chain. I just saw lick it up record sleeve very faded with vv signiture at Edinburgh hard rock. My guess it's been in hard rock collection since release of lick it up.
I find it pretty odd so much vinnie stuff at hard rock

Can't tell what Floyd is on it though. May well be an NFT Floyd but looks more like a JT-6 Jackson branded one to be honest.
I'll hit them up and see if they are as nice as the staff at the Pattaya HR are and see if we can get some close up shots of this baby!
Pity we didn't know about this last year, as Vic could have got a few good snaps of her!
