Dave Andrews of David Andrews Guitar research said he sold the vinnie vincent design to Jackson. Would be interesting to find out the story and if it is totally true.

i should get this info soon. I have heard it from 2 guitar collectors now that he said it in some book. sorry i keep forgetting the name of the book, maybe blue book? Its a famous guitar collecting book. The one he designed was slightly different to the one Jackson made but close enough.

Cool, it might be redbook or bluebook, can't remember. One is for cars, the other guitars, with average prices etc.

Hello Dave,
I am really curious as to your knowledge of the Vinnie Vincent Jackson guitar design. It is rumored that you came up with it and sold it to Grover Jackson. Any truth to this ??? Can you expand upon this??? Show blueprints, etc... ???

Thanks, Shecky
