Randy Rhoads signature Gibson model

Post by Stewie »

I hit this ebay auction by browsing ( http://cgi.ebay.ca/Gibson-Randy-Rhoads- ... 2eb4e060c0 ) and it has a lot of close up pictures of the Randy Rhoads signature Gibson that has been released. I do not know this seller, I'm just posting this for the fans that haven't seen it up close yet.

Here is a close-up of the body, which has a lot of cracks in it

here are some other interesting shots

Am I the only one who thinks they went a little overboard with the yellowing?

no that has been well disgust and I think most think that, but I like the fact they based it on what randy's guitar looks like in 2010/2011 and not what it looked like in 1982.

It actually shows how much randy played the thing because the wear on the neck is pretty significant for a guitar that was only 8yrs old

Check out a short video I made of my RR Les Paul Aged - which I imported to me in Australia. Let me know what you think.

Great Video! I would love to one day own one of the 100. atm however I'm saving for the 1959rr. I would love it if you could share your story of you meeting Randy and the shows you went to! Lucky bugger, I'd give a ball and a kidney to have been in your position!
btw fellow Aussie here.

Nice vid! Thnx! 8) Looking forward to see you with it live in action!
Though I would go for a non-aged VOS one if I was buying one, I rather age it myself!
btw: what string gauge does that guitar comes with?

Just stumbed on this nice vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6NtGw9F ... re=related
Really good informative review there!

(thnx Stewie too for bringing this up! :) )

Thanks for the questions and interest.

String gauge is 0.010 - 0.046.

Here is a link to a brief summary of the day I met Randy and the 3 gigs I saw him play.
