New Vinnie Moore Sig Guitar.....Ouch

[wired]

Here's the link: Vinnie Moore of UFO

Wow, does this thing look horrible. Business is business, but going from playing Axis & Silhouette Special models to this thing has to feel like trading in your Porche for a Kia

Not trying to stir anything up or dump on Vinnie, but honestly, this guitar looks ridiculously bad. And, maybe it's because I'm so used to the small EBMM headstock, but the Dean headstock looks HUGE

Looks like a HM [email protected], next.

IMO, "ridiculously bad" is quite a bit of an overstatement. It just looks like a guitar to me.

Fair enough, maybe I was a little harsh. I just think that bright red, w/ the gold hardware screams 80's metal to me & is such a departure from the EBMM models he chose to play. To each his own.

Gahh another person jumps to dean its so dumb i dont get it deans aren't even that good!

Listen Vinnie didnt leave us because he didnt like the guitar...His last comment was I have kids to put through college....its business.......

Do I think Dean is a good fit....Not really...... Do I hope Vinnie is happy ....Yes

Onlyh time will tell. I hope for Dean's sake that he works a little harder.

guys lets keep this thread "nice". i'll leave it open for now even tho its 100% the opposite of EBMM content. but if this goes south ill have to close her up.

im sure you guys understand

I think its a bit unfair to bitch about the guy now he has gone elsewhere. I'll be the first to admit that I said he wouldn't get a sig guitar, well, he has proven me wrong. He now has his own sig guitar, and his products plastered all over deans website, and NAMM soon too.

Good Luck to Vinnie, hope it works out great for him.

We all know that the guitars here are better.

But the look of the De@n is just screaming 80s!

It def. does scream 80's but maybe thats what he wanted. As long as he's happy with it, thats all that really matters. I've seen worse guitars than that. Have you seen the Michael Angelo Batio Model? YIKES!

well i still really like Vinnie's music, always will no matter what guitar brand he lays, but that guitar is pretty ugly. no that our opinion means anything anyway, but i must say it was mighty cool to see him use a Silhouette Special.

 

[Ponch]

seriously..I feel really bad that he leaves Ernie Ball, I have question that always haunting me why Ernie Ball did not make him a cool signature guitar after all these years?..man it's Vinnie..he's one of the greatest guitarists on this planet..man I feel really sad to hear this news.... but it's good to hear that both side has a great understanding..

 

[Ang3lus]

it's really weird that after his awesome debut, he kinda disappeared off the face of the planet.

Dean lol 0_o
He will make it work for him I am sure,just like he did when he used to play ibeenhad?Its in the hands grasshoppers!!

I bet the target audience Dean see him pulling in would not be seen dead with a Dean lol

Ponch I read an article(his website perhaps)where he said there would be no point in a signature guitar for him because the Sil is his perfect guitar

Big TOny Im not pouncing on him just the facts as i see it. I hope for the best for Vinnie Ive said that all along remember he is still a string endorsee....I have known about Dean for quite awhile but figured it wasnt my place to announce it. zIt just is starting to smell like burning flesh so Im closing it
