I was wondering about that cause I read the sheet before, but I had always heard that he had a Super D in the bridge.

well the spec sheet says 2 PAFS 1 for the bridge and 1 for the neck but from the pics of randy and his guitars he loved to change out things he changed the bridge on the PDV it use to be crome when randy got it but changed it to a black bridge guss randy was not digging 2 PAF so he changed the bridge pickup to a super distortion

PEACE OUT

Yes, sorry :) , I edited that post at the last moment... => I was going to say I either thought it was like you said a picture of the japanese doc or a picture someone shot in the hall of fame / rock museum (dont remember what it was called) where they displayed some real Randy stuff.

Man and everyone thinks lacquer is the way to go. If that was urethane it would be in ALOT better shape.

Lacquer allows for the vintage aged look over time. That guitar looks like hell because it was on display in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.

Yes I know it was in sunlight.

No one wants a vintage look on a custom job. It's fine for an old guitar that's single color or burst.. But not anything with graphics or custom paint.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

I just noticed that the white polka dots are Turing a cream color like Randy's Paul

Interesting


Wonder if Sandoval will ever ask to measure Randy's and make a true replica version
A relic version would be nice too

The people from china that make $500 replicas

It would only make perfect sense too buy the most accurate replica and copy every inch of it and put a $400 price tag on it


People would buy it and then Sandoval would have to bring down his prices
