Never heard of the Vandenberg, what is special about it?
That or an 80's metal themed ad for Pepto Bismol
For me, the guitar means a lot cuz Adrian Vandenberg was my first guitar hero. He made them look so cool on MTV with Whitesnake (though little did I know at the time he only played one solo on the 1987 album) plus I got big into his old band Vandenberg.
Like Bronco said, it's not a holy grail guitar or anything, but they are really good. Unique during the time with the 'violin-cuts' in the body, very playable natural finish neck, plus the pickups were more medium output allowing the guitar to play more than just metal. Very Stratty tones in the neck pickup and classic rock crunch from the humbucker. I'm more likely to play it today vs. my Charvel Model 5 which can pretty much only do metal.
Cool, thanks for the info. I don't know much about Whitesnake, only heard their songs on the radio. I have their 1987 album on my CD wish list (but that is a long list). I will have to head over to grooveshark and preview some Vandenberg and Whitesnake.
