[5] In 2016, Vincent formed a power metal band called Cry Venom with bassist Niko Gemini, keyboardist Colton Majors, lead vocalist Aleksey Smirnov and drummer Wyatt Cooper.
His first model was a 24 fret neck-thru superstrat in a solid purple finish with a Floyd Rose Special bridge and EMG pickups.
[14] Vincent is currently endorsed by Kiesel Guitars and plays their Vader model[15] that has been fitted with his favourite Di Marzio Evolution pick-ups.
Being headless means that there is less weight to support so he can concentrate on his left hand technique and a Dimarzio John Petrucci strap[16] gets the instrument high enough to play at speed standing up.
Vincent has stated the reason for doing so[clarification needed] is to eliminate any extra hand and wrist movements, making his playing more efficient.
[18] Vincent cited influences such as Paul Gilbert, Michael Angelo Batio, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker, Shawn Lane, Allan Holdsworth, Brett Garsed, Frank Gambale, Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Rusty Cooley, Andy Timmons, Scott Henderson, Derryl Gabel, and Rick Graham.
[19][20] Vincent also stated that his biggest influences as a child were his father, brother, and bands like DragonForce, Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody of Fire, Galneryus, Heavenly, Dragonland, X Japan, and Angra.
Since 2013, he has been a regular contributor to Guitar World magazine by sharing his playing styles[27] and has produced detailed videos complete with backing tracks, fretboard mapping and tablature.
