Mike Shannon & Chip Ellis Jackson USA Custom Shop Randy Rhoads Concorde Relic Tribute Electric Guitar
This is the Mike Shannon & Chip Ellis Jackson USA Custom Shop Randy Rhoads Concorde Relic Tribute Electric Guitar. Finally It Has Arrived!!! There are Only 60 World Wide!!! I got 2 of them and sold the first one already. Someone please buy this before I keep it for myself. There will be no more of these made.
That is right, 60 world wide. 30 of them are going to Europe and 30 are staying here in the states. This guitar is probably one of the most iconic guitars ever made. The Jackson Concorde was built by Mike Shannon who worked as a builder at Charvel for Grover Jackson. The Concorde was the first guitar to bare the Jackson name. And it was specifically built for Randy Rhoads. Grover thought that the design was so radical that he didn't want to put the Charvel name on it. So that was how Jackson Guitars were born. The Rhoads family gave Mike Shannon and Chip Ellis (Who relic'd this guitar and the EVH Frankenstein guitars) access to Randy's guitar. Mike and Chip painstakingly rebuilt Randy's guitar down to every nick and scratch. It even has the black non-reflective tape on the back of the guitar that Sharron Osbourne made Randy put on the guitar on the Diary of a Madman tour so that when the lights were dimmed before the show started Randy would flip his guitar up so that it would not reflect any light to keep the stage totally dark or feel the wrath of Sharron. Retail pricing is based on Randy’s birthday, which is December 6, 1956. Retail is set at $12,619.56.
This guitar comes with all the case candy including signed COA by Delores Rhoads, Mike Shannon, & Chip Ellis, pics, and other goodies.
