VVV Carvin white and gold

Here is the last VVV miniature I made, the bodies for the Washburn and the Ibanez are waiting for an order to be completed.

So, this is the Carvin, one of the last VVV model made and we know that Vinnie still ownes it.

Comparing to the Jackson, the shape of the body is a slighter big, the fretboard goes more onto the body to let the neck pickup fitting perfectly. The lower part of the body is also "fatter", to let the cavity under the bridge be.

Gold hardware, white and gold sparkle finish. The fretboard is ebony with no binding, unusual, with large square inlays.

For this 1/4 scale miniature guitar, I created 138 parts and used 28 mini screws. The strings are hand-twisted with electric wires.

One small difference I noticed — the original has a second switch where the replica shows a third knob, but it’s an incredible replica. I don’t know how he does it... are these for sale?

Thanks for your comments and I reply to your questions
About Eric Carr miniature drum set, I do it on demand but it's expensive. All the photos are here https://www.facebook.com/KISSEricCarrDrumset/
If I'm commissioned, I can do all the different Spector basses used by Gene.
On the real one, the third knob is missing, that's why you think it's a switch.
And yes, you can order each of the VVV, even the Washburn and the Ibanez if you want an amazing Christmas gift. Send me a pm for that.

Merci Thierry for the info on the drumset. Happy to know I can order it when ready.

You're welcome. For the miniature guitars, the payment is in 2 times, one to confirm and start and the rest when the guitar is ready. And for a drumset, it's in five or more times.

Can you PM here the cost of Eric's drumset ? I already bought a mini VV guitar from you, so I don't need another one. I would love an Ace and Paul mini guitar.

Thierry,

Pour les minis guitars de Paul et Ace voici les 2 que je voudrais (photo).

Pour celle de Ace j'ai un doute sur le nom du modèle, donc je joins la vidéo de "fire & water" pour qu'il n'y ai pas de doute.


Est-il possible de les avoir à l'échelle 1/6 comme celle de Vinnie que j'ai déjà ?

Translation for those who might want to know what I am saying : I am Telling Thierry these are the mini guitars I want. I have a dout about the name of Ace's model so I posted the video. I am asking if I can have them in 1/6 scale.

Well I’ll be... I zoomed in on my picture and you are correct about the missing knob :)

Very interested but may need to wait a bit — lots of expenditures going out right now. But I really would love one!

HEY RIP, your post made me think of something today. I watched again all the gifts Vinnie sent me, and guess what, I found them a special place in my house. I have to prepare everything. They will look great there. I found out I had 2 new spare frames that I bought some time ago. So, I will put all this together with the mini VV guitar and my VV figure. I also have a VV blanket that is on a sofa in my bedroom. Well some funny work to do !!!
