There's a good reason there's no strings! The Floyd is missing! Well in the case of this particular guitar, the Jackson JT6 "Floyd" is missing.
The control knobs are missing as well. And to add, the Floyd was given a route to facilitate pull ups on the bar, just like what was done to some of his Rhoads and the Mom

The condition of that VVV student guitar reminds me of the movie "Christine".

Didn't that bridge end up on one of the Jackson RR V guitars for the auction ?

The JT6 ended up on the Hard Rock Hotel Rhoads.



Sorry, I was so tired when writing that post that I sent it before I'd finished writing it!

The "Mom" ending was supposed to be main Jackson VVV.

Good eyes. Vv loves to rip his guitars to pieces. What's the bet that guitar is for sale.

Just perfect !

"Video featuring VV"...
That could have meant anything and my expectations were low I must admit.
I suspected old footage/photos and that would have made that statement true.
That's how it started and I thought I was right....then BOOOOM

Fucking nailed it Vinnie !
A perfect tease !

I think he's looking great from what I can see.

Well played to all involved, especially the V-man

Whats the point of showing up with scrapped guitar ... we all know he has several other VV guitars I don't get it. He has the Carvin a few of Toms guitars and at least one functional rhoads .

Who knows man, maybe it's the lure of it being a pink/silver Jackson, though not one he was known to use and certainly not one that's been played in a LONG time. Would have been much cooler to see him with a guitar in nice and playing condition, to indicate he still does play.

Don't forget the vvi official press line and what vv said in interviews at the time was that at the end of the iron maiden tour vv ran over his pink Jackson vv with their tour bus due to the color and the fact he wanted to change vvi's image. He most likely added the white tape to it to go in line with that story while the pink guitar was being repainted. These types of lies were very common and acceptable back then. Your label would encourage it at the time.

I really don't think the guitar in this expo promo was ever used on any tour. I have seen one picture before the first your with it but never live.

i remember someone telling a story about finding a pink VVV on a dumpster and that was V's guitar that was ran over by the bus,
maybe it was just to complement that story.

He may have made sure a guitar with no strings so he wasn't asked to play. Some guys don't like being asked 'play me something'. I kind of understand

Remember he said he talked to vv outside the whiskey . Then the guy disappeared. The funniest one was vv had joined Simply Red and was writing all their songs and recording in Rockfield studios in Wales (where Queen recorded there albums).

He might've got away with it nowadays, but in '87 they weren't having it.
I would think it would be the other way around.

Sammy! :P :lol:

Hoping he got himself fit and looks in great shape...his eyes still look young to me!

Also note that the Bill Evans "flip-over" lock nuts have been replaced by standard lock nuts....but that doesn't matter since there's no wang on there to string up! :P
