Though the concert shots might be from gigs with close together dates (?) limiting the timescale for possible damge, the Rhoads that stayed gold seems to be in very, very good condition in all the photos I've seem of it on the LUI tour! Curious???

i think most are europe as stages are small (not many big arenas in europe back then due to the fact basketball/ice hockey wasn't as big as in states, now big ones in europe). Also VV changed his hair for us dates. I am not so sure he used gold one in usa. thats my guess as i don't recall seeing it. I have seen the black in usa though.

And Freddy with the icing on the cake!

So....................in the March '87 Guitar World, Vinnie said he had 6 Rhoads. If the white dot neck is a different guitar to the black neck, that makes 6!

2 x Gold (one resprayed pink)
1 x Pink/regular sharkies
1 x White/dot neck
1 x Black/dot neck
1 x Black/dot neck hardtail


Maybe????????????

Good memory.
Vv with a hard tail is like having a dry stomach.
My guess for v shaped guitars..6 rhoads. 2 jackson vv. 1 carvin vv. 1 ibanez vv.. 1 washburn vv 4 azg guitarmageddon vv. 1 pear vv. 16 v guitars he has been seen with or known to have.
I personally would love to get my hands on the pear at moment. Am I correct in sayong pear ran an ad in early 90s?
Too bad vv can not rent out a venue in nashville for a day. Charge say 50 bucks and have a vv day where all his guitars are on display along with photos etc and an acoustic set plus electric set and even a band set. Vinnie Day!!!

Unfortunately hiding all this shit from kiss may mean his guitars dont surface for a long time.

Still a question mark if one of the pink reverse inlay ones is rosewood or ebony. I can not remember what freddys verdict was?
