bambino68 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I happened to stop by Make'n yesterday to take a look around and they had a beautiful black VectorSN #0664 on the wall. They are asking $2795.00 for it. Seemed kind of expensive.It was in great condition.If anyone wants me to shoot photos, let me know.David
cmatthes Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 That guitar is from September, 1983, not that that matters.
cmatthes Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Not your mistake - the (original) seller was hawking that thing on eBay forever, and claims that's when he took delivery, despite what the factory logs state. Guess his memory is better than the present sense impression made in the books back then...
svl Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Is that the bound body with a trem (Kahler?) on it black Vector?
serial Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Factory logs say its black with a Floyd.I'll have to check the date. #0663 was from 9/83, but that one could have been anywhere between late 1982 and the end of 1983-delivery of four digits was nowhere near sequential that far along (Nielsen's "Gonna Raise Hell" is an 82 & numbered 0658!)

Bobby Marshall Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Love to see the pics!!! PICS! PICS! PICS! PICS! PICS! PICS!
dgstandard Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I would love to see pictures as well!FWIW, #0699 was 06/83
bambino68 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Ill take a ride over there today and take some Iphone shots.
bambino68 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Good Morning.I went to Makin yesterday and was told that I could not take any photos, if someone was interested they should call or email makin directly.Kind of lame..sorry
murkat Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 and that stopped you from doing so?Photobomber!
bubs_42 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I viewed that one enough when it was on ebay. The guy seem like a wacko, and the guitar to me didn't seem worthy of the 4 digit it was stamped with. I'm still waiting to see an actual 4 digit V in person. The photo's i've seen of them are badass. That would be my dream guitar.
Bobby Marshall Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I requested photos via email and waiting for reply . . .
Bobby Marshall Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Unfortunately I don't have a photo account. The store is very quick with replying as I know at least one other person who got the pics. I will also forward them if you want. Guitar is unbound which seems unusual for a 4 digit. The OFR is a non-fine tuner which is cool, Brad Gillis prefers those and is a premier whammyist.Get the pics and judge for yourself. I have decided it is not what I want in a Vector.
zorrow Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Black Vector = COOLFloyded = not for me.Would love to see the pictures though.

cmatthes Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 If it is indeed a 1982, and if it came with a Floyd originally, it wouldn't have the fine tuners.
serial Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Actually, in 1982, Floyds didn't have fine tuners. The "OFR"s were not actually the "original" Floyd Roses. I've had one or two of the early ones. There's one w/o fine tuners in the 1982/3 photo spread catalog flyer with the Cheap Trick backline behind the Hamer lineup.
svl Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 $2700 for that equals EPIC FAILKnock $1400 off and it's a little more sensible...
cmatthes Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Personally, that does absolutely nothing for me. Have at it...
svl Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Okay, knock off $1700 and it's gettin' closer to sensible....
Bobby Marshall Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Glad racing fan beat me to it. Busy day and couldn't figure put how to upload pic to save my soul earlier.Thanks racing fan.
