Re: Vandenberg fans - Behold!!
I wonder if the necks are thicker on the new 'V' type' models. I've seen an original Vandenberg with the truss rod pushed clean through the back of the neck...

Re: Vandenberg fans - Behold!!
From what I've read on the net these ones don't have a particularly thin neck profile. Once I clear it through customs in a few days I should know for sure

Re: Vandenberg fans - Behold!!
Woohoo!! Finally got it today. It's raining cats n dogs so haven't had a chance to plug it in yet, but it looks awwweesome. Neck profile is a good in-between one, very similiar to the Charvel Model 6 that I sold to DaNextSlash. Actually, in general it seems to be a super-pimped abalone clad take on a Jackson/Charvel soloist, the neck heel feel is fairly similiar if slightly improved and less blocky. Pretty light body too.

Save up, who knows? Either this or the Dime V will be going when I get back to Chch, methinks. Can't afford to keep both of em when my Ash guitar is finished.

Re: Vandenberg fans - Behold!!
on oldie, but a .. um.. crappie..
An aeroplane (with 4 props) took off from Japan to fly car parts to American, and very shortly the pilot radio'ed to say he was loosing power on No 3 engine, control told him to throw out some boxes to lighten the load. Half-way through the journey, the pilot radio'ed that he was loosing power on No4 engine. Control told him to throw out more parts, at that time they were flying over Ireland. One of the residents remarked " Would you look at that Michael, it's raining Datsun cogs".

No, not quite. But the tiny little nameless practice amp I borrowed off a mate for the summer means that it would have made precious little difference plugged in or not during the heavy rain...war-wolf wrote:eh?you living on the streets or something?It's raining cats n dogs so haven't had a chance to plug it in yet, but it looks awwweesome.
Have you seen the '08 BCR catalogue yet? Stealth is back finally albeit with the wrong headstock in the form of a Schuldiner tribute model, Ironbird is back as a production model too.

Re: Vandenberg fans - Behold!!
