Dave Scepter Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks for starting this thread Zorro, I for one really appreciate it and would love to see even more members come out from the shadows & post pics of their Vectors... I don't care if they have broken necks, no paint, ugly paint in various stages of completion or whatever. ..C'mon let's see them! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story of what it was and where it came from are legend and I kick myself regularly over this one that got away. Last seen in Jacksonville, Fl in 1994 with a Floyd in it. Yup yup, I'd have to agree with Zorro, a rare bird indeed... I too would love to hear the story~ Thanks for sharing, too bad about the Floyd mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy p Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Damn! This turned into the Vector appreciation thread quick. My V desire has been stoked up by @bruce919's red and korina ones. Both prime examples of exactly what I would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTMN Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 B/W one was made for Michael Schencker who gave it to Dave Hlubek who pawned it at Ralph's Pawn Shop in Jacksonville, Fl. Summer 1982 and never came back to get it. I put on 60 day layaway in October '82 the day it came out of pawn. Traded it for an amp in 1986 just cause I could I guess, cause I have no valid reason it happened beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic look, but built to Rawk. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorch Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Wow! That’s a pretty sharp thread over here. It would make a great Vector Appreciation Thread. I don’t think we have one, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is purely rhetoric, but I call dibs on it —well, this is actually a reminder, as I’ve called dibs on this one countless times, of course. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornjulio Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Cheers! It's a cat's head and some fishbones. They are based on linocuts I had printed and Mike managed to turn them into inlays (amazing!!!). My DIY label is called evil river records for the occasional music I put out (is based on a mistranslation of my last name) my idea was to imagine the neck as as a flowing river (dead fish and one hungry cat 😉) Goes well with the blueburst me thinks... Really beefy neck which I had asked for when trying a couple of different necks at Mike's place before my guitar was built. It took some time to get used to but now I wouldn't want to miss it. The neck pickup is splitable which gives me some very intersting options soundwise. Best guitar I ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
