Ultimate Rhoads

That's funny, I finally saw the first "Scream" for the first time just a couple night ago. I really enjoyed it. It's not just a senseless slasher, and it had a real classic feel to it. Not surprising since it's a Wes Craven film, which I didn't even realize until the end credits. I actuall...

Good story! Hope you have a great time at the show!!

Do you think it's possible she feels guilty enough to spring for the 'Meet & Greet' package too, that's going for $1,000?

Thanks for the info Matt! My wife is getting me a subscription for Christmas, but it'll probably start a couple issue from now so I better start looking for it at Chapters! She was going to get it for my birthday in August, but they said it would take 3 months to start getting it?! :? But when I rec...

Just a heads up.... I was talking on the phone with the guy who is handling the eBay auction -- he's acting as a middle man for the luthier that's making them. He said this guy is planning on making Concorde copies too! They won't be reliced, but at least they won't cost 5 figures either. Mine's in ...

Ok, this is odd. And this is actually legal tender permitted by the Treasury Department: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Randy-Rhoads-2-Dollar-Bill-Mint-1-Ozzy-Quiet-Riot-/380283099645?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588aa399fd So you can actually get some real cash printed up with your own face on it if you ...

Extremely frustrating yes, but it certainly has not made me care any less. I will say one thing about Randy's family. I think it's great how they have been so in touch with the fans over the years. Countless interviews, tours of the school, making their way to the memorial every years and chatting w...

awesome axeman!!!!!!!dont forget to have someone tape it so we can check it dude!!!!!!!congrats man!!!! Yes, definitely try and get some video of it for us! That way, if something happens to you after you get famous, then family and friends can hoard it and fight over it for 30 years before what fa...

No worries, I was only joking about the relicing. I know I wouldn't have the heart to put a scratch on that beauty! :wink: Tinting is done by coloring clear lacquer with a dye, such as alcohol-soluble aniline dye. A small amount of the 'vintage amber' of these stains might do the trick: http://www.s...

Looks great!! I wonder if you could just spray some tint coats over top, along with a few protective clear coats, rather than stripping down and refinishing? You'd still have to wet sand and polish after though. Could always put a cigarette burn in between the knobs, and well as take a scraper to th...

Compared to one of the 50 signed/aged Jeff Beck Oxblood Les Pauls at $25,000, it's actually a bargain I suppose...

We are a materialistic bunch!

Our RR wine is finally supposed to be arriving this week, so we can christen the PDV with that when it arrives!

You could try temelo stabilization:

I haven't tried any of the possible options out there, so I can't comment on it at all.

You got it! I don't mind being the guinea pig with it... I'll take one for the team on this one!

You're right though, can't hardly go wrong at that price!

Depends on the model -- it's an original Floyd Rose tremelo on the RR1, but the Japanese model I have it's a Jackson made tremelo licensed under Floyd Rose.

:lol: :lol: Oddly enough, I didn't even have to crack the wine open, let alone put on any Barry White, before getting the green light from the boss! Makes me nervous... it's gotta be a trap! But how can I possibly resist with bait like that! :fish: Actually, it really helped that I turned her into a...
