Steve Vai 'swirled' guitar - UK

[Don1]

Anyone know of any for sale in the UK? I know about the Glasgow one, but the Mrs says NO!

Cheers all...

[Don1]

Cheers all - I managed to find one and pressed 'buy' - this is on it's way over....


Edit - it's a 1990 UV77MC. Signed by the man himself as well. (God I'm sad...)

Thank you. No idea if I should stare at it, frame it, or play it.

[Don1]

Cheers dude - it's arrived, but I can't have it until my birthday. Ho hum!

[Don1]

She brought it, she can tell me what to do.

[Don1]

Simply stunning things. I'm fairly sure it's your collection that got me back to thinking about them!

Collection - nothing special, but a very time capsuled look at some of my taste! I'll post some pics when all four are together.

Washburn N2, JEM100 and a SG currently are in the rotation. A Brian May special, JS Surfing 20th anniv, a JS Chrome and a white Vai with monkey grip would complete my fantasy list.

[Don1]

I'm still not allowed it (harsh, but fair), so I have stolen a few of the sellers photos to show you lot. My own poor attempts will go back into the 'show us your guitar' thread.
Hope you like! (This is like a water torture for me!)

I was going to aim high with 'the audience is listening'...

Wife - turn it down

Don - ha good one

Wife - no turn it the fk down...

As Metallica said - Sad but True...

[Don1]

Lovely! What are you using as wall mounts?

[Don1]

OK< I have got it, it's amazing, but HELP! The Tremlo is locked down - how do I raise it to the normal position? Is it take the back off it?

Edit - ignore me! In my excitement I didn't realise all the strings were totally slackened off for travel...

Cheers! Now to tune it properly and play it (work got in the way).

[Don1]

My word. Amazing noises come from this thing. Feels bizarre, but amazing. Those that don't have, you need a 7 string in you life.

[Don1]

The collection, obviously one stands head and shoulders above the rest!



I really like the direction this thread has gone - should we continue in this vein?

[Don1]

Thank you. I'm not sure I'll ever do this guitar justice, but it's going to be a lot of fun to find out!
