Jake E. Lee w/ Randy's Guitar?

[Sky]

All 3 really, i have played guitar for 30 years and i have a few including a couple from well known bands, always been a fan of ozzy, I was offered this guitar a few years ago but missed out on it, recently it resurfaced and i bought it, i know the story is true and have a letter from jackson confirming this is the guitar they sent to sharon and ozzy shortly after Randys death, the gig at the scrubs and ozzy giving the guitar to the lag are well documented, the case has lots of provinence all over it and i have some letters written to the prisoner by ozzy which are great and show what a cool guy he is, just keeping in touch with the guy and talking to him about the new album in 86, I wrote to Jake to ask him the question but never got a response, i love the guitar as much for the history of it as anything else, whether its the guitar jake is posing with i dont know, there is no record of him playing an RR1 anywhere, he is well known as a charvel man, it would be good to know, cheers Steve

Just curious, the letters Ozzy wrote to the prisoner that he gave the guitar to, were they dated '86?

Yeah, I thought so. You got a couple of other dates wrong as well.

this guitar was sent by grover jackson to sharon osbourne (then Arden) in 83

Sharon married Ozzy in July '82

... in 86 at wormwood scrubs prison Ozzy handed the guitar to one of the inmates, i believe he was the guitarist of the lags band that jammed jailhouse rock with Ozzys band at the end of the legendary gig. Jake had left Ozzy by then in fact the wormwood scrubs gig was Zaks first gig

Jake wasn't fired until '87.

Any chance of you scanning Ozzy's letters and sharing?

Give me your email and I'm happy to show you them as I have stated to you I am looking for some help in finding a picture of the guitar in action, I don't know everything only what I have researched, I have the letter from Jackson and the envelope it came in addressed to the guy in the prison stating they gave the guitar to Sharon and absolutely not to attempt to fit a term into it .... I guess they must have known Sharon before she became mrs o although they do state ozzies wife and formally sharon arden in brackets I was pretty sure zak was at the scrubs but didn't think Jake was, that could be interesting, that would make sense if Jake ever had the guitar on loan or something .... in the book I have and the metal hammer mag I have interviews with ozzy that details him giving the guitar to the guy in prison signage on the case ties the lag and the guitar together, any thanks for your help fella my search continues !
