The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

only pictures of flying v guitars you have owned or used to own, any brand

Of course! These are ones I own.







I don't have a pic of my Monster VVV.

Do you have any V's?

I'm not super fond of playing them anymore, but love the look.

What's with the black one Vic? Is that a re-issue? It's got the original small shark fins on it!!!

Oh! And you forgot the other V you own too!!!!

I did mention that I don't have any pics, decent ones, of the Monster VVV. When it's reborn I'll do some photos and try using it out with the band, freak out the people around here.

The first one is a Jackson Custom Shop PCS (Players Choice Series) Original Rhoads. It's a replica of Randy's second Jackson, which he only got a few months before he passed away. It has a 3 or 5 piece neck, tall skinny frets and the smaller sharkfins. When they made the next ones the shark fins were bigger, which I actually prefer. I got that one in 2000 and the white one shortly after as more of a player, plus it has a Floyd.

im working on one currently, i need to wait until the neck and the floyd get here. its a cort xv 2v

Cool. I take it you're into Flying V's?

this is my first v that i have owned, ive played many v's in guitar center. i've been into v's since i saw pictures and videos of randy rhoads and Vinnie Vincent on youtube.

They certainly look cool. In the 80's it was Randy, Vinnie, Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett I liked playing V's. All Jacksons.

Rudy Schenker and Paul Stanley played the Gibsons.

im getting a reverse jackson style neck for it. so it's a jackson/cort

I Love Jackson Rhoads!! My favorite guitars on the planet!! They look great & the US made models sound incredible...!

actually I'm looking for the original Jackson gold for my tribute band
I hope I'm finding one soon... The design is incredible

There are 30 USA custom shop reissue Gold Rhoads from Jackson.They were made last year for the 30th anniversary... Check eBay USA now & then you may find one? I have #8... I love that guitar! You should see the gold paint job... Amazing...

Not true V's but this is the closest that I've got

This picture isn't very good, but oh well

What brand and model is that one?

Nice stuff Kevin. I got a Bolt-on (ibanez) VV body. Got to pull my figure out, get a neck, pickups & hardware.

Dannii,
I had a blast putting it together and when I was done I took it to my luthier and he dialed it all in and set the harmonics and intonation. I'm a shitty painter but this fucker plays way nice! Did you buy the body from Deep 9 Guitars off Ebay? This guy does nice Ibanez replacement work, custom work and would probably have a bunch of stuff that Andrew would like.

I don't like any guitars now Kev!!!!!!!

Ooh, maple neck with black sharkfins, I love that look, very cool!

very 80s yes?

With the reverse headstock, yes!!!

this guitar will replace my strat once it is done

I wish now that I had a good auto paint shop friend myself. There was another post on the board in the last year where a dude posted one like ours that he had an auto paint shop paint blue and silver and it came out SWEET! Super glossy and shiny!

Almost Done!!

Cool, do you have the pickups?

not yet. $10 away

Which ones are you putting in there?

Wow, I'll check out that site, thanks!

Almost finished!
just needs to be soldered

I really like that beast !!!

Very nice, good job!!!!

My new signature when its done

my "V'" collection.

Welcome back MP5999!

I have always loved that great picture!

Kev

I'm here every day kev , I just usually don't have much to say!

I'm glad but just so know we appreciate your contributions when your in the mood to talk! You have an amazing guitar collection that many of us respect!

Kev

Yes, that's a very awesome collection of V's you have there.

my black v is now finally finished...BUT the floyd i got for under $40 is a piece of shit, i have only played it for a couple hours, 3 strings popped at the same time, the 1st and 2nd strings cut into the floyd nut. you can clearly see and feel the lines. DO NOT get a floyd rose from guitarpartsonline.com, the necks are good, their floyds are shit, go to guitarfetish.com and get one of their floyds, or get a floyd rose special. once i fix my v i will post a video of me playing it.

Trixxy, Where's your garbage can guitar.

that is on the back-burner till i get a positive money flow. im trying to get my band together more than anything right now

Trixxy, Just snap a picture of it NOW and post it so I can shut up !!!!

i enjoy conversation tho

be patient young padawan
