My guitars
I'm pretty sure I posted this on the other forum as I was inspired to make ti by someone there who wanted to see my guitars and I wanted an easy way to do so without flooding a thread with pictures.
So here's a link to some of my guitars. Some newer ones and ones still in Project Mode aren't there.

Vic,
I love those works of art! Thank you so much for sharing. I will be interested in seeing a picture of your Monster Double V once you have finished the modifications. I have about 30 guitars right now and as you say it's difficult to show them in an easy format. I think that you did a great job!

You bastard VIC!!!! I had the chance to buy a 750XL in 89' but I ordered a Jem instead! Not that I don't love my old Jem but the Charvel's shorter scale would have suited my hands better. I know where there is an identical one to your's but the guy won't sell!
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!
Thanks Kev, I put some effort in to setting that page up and it does needs some updating.Slayer wrote:Vic,

The Monster DV has no timeframe, there is a couple of guitars in front of it, but it will happen eventually. I still change my mind about the colour scheme all the time. When the time comes to make a choice I don't know what I'll do.
Ha ha, I am glad i bought that guitar, such a beast. Was my main player for a while. I've seen them around, if you want to buy one still I'll keep my eyes out for you and let you know.shramiac wrote:You bastard VIC!!!!

Hey man, I got a Model 6 & a 750XL (both midnight blue). Got the Model 6 new & got the 750XL second had. Both awesome guitars. The model 6 has the old guitar shaped Charvel logo & the 750XL has the Jackson type running writing Charvel logo. Was so stoked when I found the 750XL. Still up there with being one of my favourite guitar. About two years ago I was luck to get the reissue of a P!NK RR5 Jackson neck thru. Got it cause I’d given up hope of ever being able to get a Vinnie Vincent V. Really hope those AZG Pear axes see the light of day.
Also got one of these, 'http://www.jemsite.com/forums/f19/jacks ... 89812.html'
Just the double v body right now. Need to get a neck, trem, pickups.

Vic, It's gonna be a while b4 i get it together (bit strap for ca$h right now) & I wanna do it right. Got a friend who's got a autobody shop & trying to get him to spray it when he gets time. But yer the 750XL rulez. R U on FB?. Your Forum is cool by the way. Love the set up. Like your alerted on updates, very cool. Saves users lots of time, Great ideas. Been spreading the word on FB for the youngenz to sign up. Know a couple of kidz who are crazy VV fans.
Thanks for the kind words metatron. I have a FB page but I don't do a lot on there.
Spreading the word is good, the more the merrier!
My Monser VVV will also take ages to transform into a Jackson replica, but as they say, good things take time.
An auto shop should be able to spray that for you no problem. The big question is, what colour scheme are you going for?

The Monster is a decent guitar structurally, with a few faults there and it needs a lot of attention in the paint/finish department. Nothing which can't be fixed and then we do the respray.
I bought it from Teej in 2007 I think, he was selling and I won it on Ebay and had it shipped over. It played really good but I've just put it away until it is fixed up.
Part of it's make over will see the headstock made into a proper Jackson one, which TJ Monster wouldn't do understandably, but we can make it happen in the aftermarket so to speak.
For the price I got it for, delivered, I'm happy as I have a great guy to do the work necessary to make it a great player and looker. Still undecided on colour.
Yours is going to look nice, are you planning on having big metal flakes in the paint?

Wow! So many Australian guitarists in this place! Anyone here got a Devries Custom?

Metatron, make sure you investigate it haha. It's actually a joke about some moron that was trying to rip off Australian customers by building these "custom" guitars out of wood used for cabinets, shoddy electronics, and cheap pickups. There's a thread on some Australian guitar forum that is legendary that you HAVE to check out.metatron wrote:Na Wizkid. a Devries Custom? Never hear of it. I need to do some investigating. Got any pix of it. Love your Avator by the way. Very Cool. Also changed my one to reflect the our current status.
They all pitched in and ordered this p.o.s. and then went into to detail (including videos) of showing everyone how horrible of a guitar it is. I laughed for days about it. I'll see if I can find it.

In the 80s, yes my dad had money and he used to write off tax by buying me guitars. I bought most for next to nothing when the heavy metal guitars were uncool. I got one gamer virtuoso and a mint California for $125 as a pair in 91. The Ritz were bought out of bankrupcy. Only the carvin and Robin I paid full price and both were around 1k.

Bernie Rico! Save your money dude! That will probably be dearer than the Pear!!! They do look well made though AND pretty.
