Yes. Mike Shannon designed the Jackson vv model in 1985 for vinnie based out of the Rhoads v. The vv model was never officially offered to the public. Carvin , Ibanez , Washburn and pear all made the guitar for vv but non of them advertised it to the public , all one offs. I know Jackson, carvin and Washburn planned to sell to the public but all fell out with vv. The only time it has ever been marketed to the public was last year by azg guitarmageddon guitars of Arizona, however again like all the versions and companies before the relation with vv ended before any sales.

Jackson however did make a couple of hand fulls of them in the 80s , late 90s and early 2000's and ed roman guitars made at least three of their own models of it but maybe a few more. The ed Roman was unofficial but like all the other stories he was supposed to make an officially one until the relationship went sour between ed and vinnie.

Tj monster makes an unofficial version and I would guess he has made more than any other guitar maker .

Basically vinnie could not stay friends long enough with the 7 companies including esp) to put anything out to the general public.

Such a shame for a such a good looking guitar.

Cool! Better $2450 than $1925 as well!

That's more like it. Great news. 1900 was too low. That guitar is a great investment.

Thanks, yeah it worked out for the better in the end! I had a couple of offers on my kiss pinball to but ended up having to decline...

Man, I want that pinball. 20 years ago I was offered one for $500 but had literally NOWHERE to put it. Oh well.

A friend of my friend Mark in Sydney had both the regular and the German pinballs. Mark had the regular one.

I'd love to have the Kiss Pinball to go with the other 3 that I have but if I get one I'm probably going to want to get one in marginal condition and get it restored because this particular vintage machine is especially collectable and go for $3000 to $4000 in the USA.

BB, I hope that you get a great price for yours brother

Just curious, did VV get any $$$ from the release of this model?
Did he have anything to do with it?

Post by **Genebaby** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 7:49 pm

Nothing to do with Vinnie, he just happened to use a very early Jackson guitar while in Kiss and Jackson were celebrating the first five guitars they created with that name, so this run was organised.

It is mostly a classic and awesome Randy Rhoads guitar, nothing affiliated with Vinnie in the Jackson world.

its a Randy guitar not Vinnie.
