Vinnie Vincent Charvel Guitar, EMG 81 pickup, charvel locking tremolo, bolt on neck, low action, rosewood board.  There are many questions out there about this guitar, its seen several owners over many years and has some loyal Jackson and Vinnie Vincent fans who dont like it.  The debate has been over its legitimacy, whether charvel ever made this guitar.  Let me clearly state, I believe it is a replica.  Here's what i know for sure.  The guitar has a charvel neck with a serial number that would make it a foreign model.  I picked it up off ebay awhile back, year of manufacture unknown, but its been around quite awhile.  It had a professional refinish fairly recently under the previous owner, it was solid red and black, now is a metallic candy red and black.  It comes in a modified king V Jackson case that fits the shape snugly.  Exterior of the case is rough around the edges, but works well and protects and carries the guitar fine.  When i got it from its prior owner the wiring was lousy and pickup blown, a local authorized Jackson repair luthier replaced the EMG and wiring and guitar is great now.  There is some usual wear on the tremolo with black peeling to gold in places, theres some swirling on the back plate.  There are no chips or dings on this guitar, the edges, all 4, are perfect. 

Bottom line, its not one of the rare handful of custom shop Jackson Vinnie Vincent guitars....it is a great looking, great playing, attention getting Vinnie for half the cost and better looking and quality than some of the other non-Jackson replicas being offered right now.  If you're bored with King V's that everyone has, this is certainly something different and fun.  For the loyal Jackson collectors who dont like it...i don't care...just cause its a replica doesn't mean its not cool...if you don't like it...don't look.

Shipping is expensive because the case is huge and heavy, sorry.
