I'm not sure I would call the ESP Hannemans "lesser known" - but that's JMO

How about the old Vinnie Moore Ibanez models? Those are pretty rare.

I know, but I would love to have one of the ones with the German Eagles or whatever they were on it. I think from a few years ago!!

Fucking hell Thunderhead, that looks really really sexy!

I tried to "pick up" a Vandenberg a while back from a junk shop locally Holy Diver, but the knob-end wanted £500 for it! It's still there, I don't forsee it moving in a hurry, and it has nothing like the look of this one here, it was just a plain black one.
I would have been willing to furnish the man with 200 shiny poounds Sterling for it.

the Fernandes Buck Tick BT-120 and the Stabilizer! check them out!

I once had a Takamine Violator which was the Voivod signature. Never seen another one though. It looked real cool, but it wasnt that great of a guitar. But yeah, it looked great.............

was it a bolt on?

Peavey had some bolt on versions a couple (4 ish) years ago.

all the neck through ones (V-Type) have the binding

Couldn´t it have been an actual Vandenberg and not a V-Type? They sure didn´t have all those Louis XIV abalone trimmings, and came in both bolt-on and neck-thru.

I suppose yes, and original neck thru Vandy (as opposed to V-Type) wouldnt have all the binding

I'd say the Vandenberg you saw in the shop was an American. Im taking the price as a guideline...

If notthat salesman deserves a puch in the face ... 500 quid is a rape for a Korean one...

And again...It probably is an original and the price is normal as far as i know.

There was once a Tommy Shaw signature model. Only seen one in my lifetime.........

Yes, it was made by Silver Street guitars. My old guitar teacher was friends with the guys in Styx and used to build guitars for Tommy. He was a part of that guitar company and the store I took lessons at had a handful of them...

How about Neal Schon's own model from the late 80's. Kinda of a whacky shape with an over size Jackson headstock. Only ever saw one in real life, was for sale in a music store for about year.
