Very cool guitar bro. This is the first time I have ever even heard of one. I think I need to get one. Bad..

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

They are cool. Funny thing about those, is no one really cared about them when they first came out, which is odd since they kick ass..........

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

The really funny thing is that there's no sign on the guitar whatsoever that states it's a "signature" model. You would think that Ibanez would have somehow inscribed the words "Vinnie Moore" or at least "VM" on the head. Nuttin! It's commonly referred to as the "Star-4" and they only made 50 of them from 1989 to 1991 if I recall correctly. 25 in the plain white and 25 in the "splatter paint", with the "splatter" being the more expensive of the two. I'll be bringing this one to Vinnie himself when he comes up for his gigs in NY and NJ next month. I'm sure you all know he's the guitarist in UFO now having replaced MS. I've personally known Vinnie since 1999 and we email each other on a fairly consistant basis. Nice guy.

I remember seeing the ads in Guitar World when they came out. Very cool guitar. I was a big Ibanez fan back then.

Very cool, but is it missing the Locking Nut? Jack.

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

Dinky, this one actually ended a few days ago. 23 bids later~

This is my fifth: XV500, Prestige 3120TW, RG470, WRB-3, and now the VM-1 [img]/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

Good question Jack. The VM-1 came equipped with Sperzel locking tuners. No need for a clamp. Are you familiar with them and how they work?

[fullshred]

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

Not trying to be sarcastic there, just didn't want to be redundant [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] It's my first time seeing them myself. Pretty ingenious...

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

The one Vinnie originally had made for him had the Floyd w/ no fine tuners and no locking nut - in some interviews he has stated he thought it (dbl locking steup) affected the tone too much, and the fine tuners messed up his picking hand position......
Cool score - been wanting one since they were first released by Ibanez...

Re: VM-1 Vinnie Moore Ibanez came today ===>

Thanks for that insight Wayniac. Good to know...
