Charvel '80 Vinnie Vincent Masterbuilt Electric Guitar

A Vinnie Vincent Charvel Strat electric guitar built with hand-chosen components by Vincent. Vincent was inspired to build the guitar after trying Eddie Van Halen’s Charvel. Van Halen explained that he had built his guitar with custom parts, which included neck, pickup and body. Vincent tried Van Halen’s guitar and liked it so much he spent the next few months customizing a similar guitar to Ed Van Halen’s. The result was this one of a kind Charvel. The guitar was used by Vincent to record KISS’ Creatures of the Night album in 1982. The guitar, which still has its original strings from the Creatures album, was used on the songs “I Love It Loud,” “Killer,” “War Machine,” “Keep Me Comin’,” and “Saint and Sinner,” among others. The neck joint plate is numbered “65520 1,” back plate absent. Accompanied by a side-loading hardshell case.
