JimiH Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 This kid bought VR’s MX Hamer. Vernon says there was a black and white version also, wonder were that went?
Studio Custom Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Actually I thought there was only the black and white one, no idea on where it is. Try Peter's house.
Jeff R Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Neon Pink turned a stale orange over time. Must have used the same pink pigment found in the Dimarzio bobbins on original floral print Jems?
Jeff R Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 These pics shows what I'm talkling about, faded vs. unfaded Dimarzio bobbin pigment pink, on the same guitar. Ibanez apparently used a different pink pigment on the knobs. Look at the magazine cover photo in the original shadow case photo. Back when the MX guitar was pink.
HAMERMAN Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 What a shame - I always loved that neon pink. Did he add a sustainer at some point? Weird how the writing is completely gone - it looks a bit strange with it missing. Definitely a cool axe, I hope the guy didn't buy it to keep it in that display case.
Jeff R Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Added a Roland synth pickup, look between the bridge and the 'bucker. I think the writing was a Sharpie that VR added impromptu ... and likely removed when it started wearing/sweating off haha. The neon purple on my old VR has faded to orange over time too, for what it's worth.
JimiH Posted September 16, 2019 Author Posted September 16, 2019 Wow Amazing how it fades, I would be tempted to refin it back to its glory days with the writing 🤔 especially if it’s now a display piece only.

Studio Custom Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The fading out with these colors was very common on the Barney Rubble SS's, they did not like UV light or the sun.
stonge Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Ron's Guitars in Groton, CT had a pink SS hanging in the front window that bleached out really quick - they sent that one back to be refinned according to Ron.

DBraz Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 I just love the tumbling boomers. Such a cool variation.
