Excellent guitars, so unique.

On those factory pics you can see how the later VH logo was more "substantial"

Re: Something interesting...

You've sure got enough upper fret access on the VH logo guitar [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Something interesting...

A little piece of info.
A couple employees from the shop at the time these were made only remember two ever being made? Neither one of them remember a earthquake where they had guitar damage? But who knows?
So maybe the one with broken horns was repaired and repainted also maybe the knob was relocated? But only two were ever made by Jackson/Charvel.
I like the tele too but that fret access bugs me a bit, but makes since.

Re: Something interesting...

There must be at least 3. The one Mike Shannon is holding in the small pic above looks like the strathead in Ian's original post but the strathead pictured just above is clearly different, both body & neck. Add the pointy and there can't be less than 3.
