The Ibanez VM1, also known as the Ibanez Star-4, is a signature guitar model of American guitarist Vinnie Moore. It is the only Vinnie Moore series model Ibanez made. It only appears in the 1989 catalog, but production presumably started as early as 1987.
The VM1 is based on the 1986 Roadstar model, a shape Ibanez abandoned for regular production models after 1987. It has an ebony fingerboard and DiMarzio pickups. Unique feature is the Edge II tremolo, a non-locking version of the original Edge. It was the first signature model featuring the All Access Neck Joint. The VM1 was available in two finishes: white with a black pickguard and a "Splatter" finish with a white pickguard. See additional specs below.

I am selling some of my collection and have put up for sale both the “white” version and the “splatter” version of this guitar. I purchased the white version back in 2009 and the splash version in 2010. Both have been kept in my collection in cases and are in excellent condition, the “splash” in particular is in dead mint condition. There are no other VM1’s for sale online to my knowledge. I’ll sell individually or as a pair for $9500.

Product Details:

  • Only Twenty-Five of Each were made, for a total of FIFTY in the world.
  • White VM1 is in excellent condition with very minor wear
  • Splatter VM1 is in dead mint condition
