Yes I've been looking into those. Idk they're very nice and all but i'm sort of looking for something more VV style like a Jackson or charvel. More of a sexy style guitar if you know what i mean.
I don't know i just need something with a floyd so i can do some cool stuff and impress the girls and try to learn Vinnie's stufff. haha

Just pick up a cheap RG by Ibanez! 350 or 370 models aren't too expensive and have good build quality.

Dude I haven't heard the name Manny's in 10yrs. Before the days of the internet people ordered by catalog. I ordered all my gear from either Manny's or Sam Ash there. Mannys was a cool ass store. Slash bought the 68 custom from the "Estranged" video there. I had a good friend that worked at Sam Ash one day out the blue he called me and says listen... Joe Satch was playing in the background I got to hear him rip it up over the phone!!!!!!! That rocked.
Yeah, that place was cool, as a younger guy from Sweden, Walking in and
seeing all those autographed pix plastered all over the wall of these
famous musicians sent shivvers up my spine fore sure! The real deal
kinda feeling. Actually, I have a Kiss related story to it other than "Uncle Manny" according to legend being friends with the "Eisen Family".:
A friend of mine walked in on a weekday in 86 or 87 when he was there
vacationing and being the huge Kiss fan that he was got a small shock from
seeing P. Stanley standing by some amps, trying out the new Steinbergers!
He walked up and asked for an Auto and what not but Stanley seemed more
than annoyed at first, not interested in talking/signing at all, then, he quickly
learned my friend was actually from Sweden and that changed everything....
Pictures, Autograph etc no problems after that. Guess NYC fans ranked lower
for him as he was out running errends or something...HaHa..
Those Steinbergers showed up in Kiss shows shortly after this meet at Mannys´.

Oh forgot to mention, as most people here might know already,
just across the street from Mannys you also had "We buy Gits"
and in there you had the Cusano dude working as a sales clerk in about
1977-78. I actually had pictures (long story) of him/the gang at we buy,
which I have since misplaced/lost. sorry. thats prolly where his impetus
for pushing guitars stems from.

Cool story Ollie. Interesting that Paul would treat a fan so hot and cold back then. Back then Kiss were still working hard to be the stars they were in the 70's and it never really happened.
80's Kiss was not super successful and I would have thought Paul would have been gracious to a fan regardless of where they were from.

Hi all .. not had the chance to scan any more of the book and it's now on it's way to Danni so I pass the torch to him if he'd like to scan the other half of the book. Hope you enjoyed what you got so far .. I might even start working on them myself one of these days
We will make monkies of these monkies

AshesToAshes, get a job! Haha! I'm 17 and I work at a dance studio, but sadly, these days my earnings go towards gas for the Caddie and teriyaki for the tummy, and not so many guitar things. However, I'm looking into how to do zebra print and plan on repainting my gothic Flying V to a zebra striped one, much like what Paul Stanley played during Creatures and LIU. Too bad they don't have Animal transcribed, but that's okay, because I already learned it using Audacity to drop it down a whole step to match the tuning of my guitar

agreed doublev! Mandolin is a superb store, I picked up a Martin D-35 there last year.
Salesman Mike was more than a little patient with me....superb service and advice.
Their Guitars are also mostly really well set up and adjusted by their shop, so, their guitars play
a little bit better that they do in most other stores, my opinion anyway.
I think 48 street will unfortunately be completely gone within a few years, real estate
being the biggest culprit to that happening.
SamAsh (who runs most of that street now) will eventually let it all go and some Investment Bank
or whatever will demolish the whole block and put up a new Scraper in its place.(heard it from an emplyee at SamAsh 48th location) Bummer..../Ollie
