The prototype was created, but it never got off the ground. Can anyone verify this? Are there pics on anyone's hard drive?

These days, info like that is lost in the void of time. Remember, prototypes are usually a close guarded secret !

And since Vinnie is playing the role of Howard Hughes, I'll guess I'll just keep holding my breath for that shop employee. Thanks for the reply and insight Captain~ Fullshred Username: Fullshred Registered: 07-2004 Posted on Saturday, November 25, 2006 - 2:38 pm:    Captain, as pointed out by a member of the Vinnie Vincent 'Pyromessiah' board, you can see it at 4:08 in the Vinnie Vincent Invasion's 'Love Kills' video where Vinnie is moving his Freddie glove down the neck of his VV Ibanez! http://www.youtube.com/watch_fullscreen?video_id=j8kGqDWi2cg&l=289&t=OEgsToPDskK 6SdLD24tlf28xtUDkV2yD&fs=1&title=Vinnie Vincent - Love Kills Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Saturday, November 25, 2006 - 6:58 pm:    Fullshred what year was this guitar supposed to be made? I may be able to get an answer for you. Fullshred Username: Fullshred Registered: 07-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 26, 2006 - 1:29 am:    1988 I believe. I'd also love to know where it is today if VV didn't take possession of it, but ANY insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes it takes a little while to get a reply so be patient! Fullshred Username: Fullshred Registered: 07-2004 Posted on Thursday, November 30, 2006 - 10:38 am:    We'll be waiting, thanks.
