The RR Concorde without the pinstripes... new custom shop RR model from MusicZoo.com

Also available in black or gold

not feeling it
but then again, I'm used to seeing it with pinstripes so that could be a reason.

Looks nice but I like having the pinstripes too.

Honestly I prefer the block inlays over the sharkfin inlays. I dig the sharkfin but those block inlays make it look so bitchin.

Maybe if it had the 'Tree of Life' inlays...

They made them with pinstripes, but they are all sold now, the one's without the pinstripes are the ones that are left. That's probably because most people agree they look much better with pinstripes.

they also made them in polka dot....which I think look AWESOME

Same deal there. Polkadots fits better on a Gibson style V

Jackson said the pinstripes are reserved for Concorde replicas only, t's a greed thing... they make good money off replicas and don't want to lose that.

Personally I wouldn't buy any guitar with a pricetag over $800.

I like the white guitar with black dots. It is not shown but that one, I think looks great. They did have a "white" Concorde with the original pin striping when they first released these last year. So it looked like Randy's but was white instead of cream. I thought that one looked really good. I would need to have the frets changed out though. I don't like the vintage frets. I need some meat.

I think I would also change the brigde pickup, change the Duncan Distortion for a Duncan TB4.

Yeah, I agree with that. I have not been a fan of the Duncan Distortion.
