After Hours footage question

[AlanF]

Watching it again, I noticed Randys 'Concorde' guitar was on display. Was it a 'spare' incase of a broken string or was it used to promote Jackson guitars.............or (hopefully) used for a song that wasn't shown?

[Shockwave]

Probably just habit from the roadies, they probably had no idea what songs were going to be played possibly. Either way things could change quickly and they could have added another song or two if they wanted. Better to have the guitars ready to go either way.

There are no additional songs, the did play all 4 songs twice though and kept the best versions for the broadcast. The altnernate takes never surfaced and were most likely destroyed.

Damn. If only the station knew what they had at the time, huh?

was it used to promote Jackson guitars

no way it was this as "jackson" guitars did not exist at this stage (well depending on when AF was shot i guess)

as said I would say just habit and maybe a back up (although the V was tuned to eb I doubt it was that either)

Are you sure?

Jackson Guitars originated in 1980 when guitarist Randy Rhoads approached Charvel with an idea for an individualized guitar. The collaborative design effort between Rhoads, Grover Jackson, Tim Wilson, and Mike Shannon resulted in the creation of the Concorde, an innovative revamp of the traditional Flying V. The Rhoads guitar model designs were such a departure from Charvel's Stratocaster-based models that Grover elected to label them with his own name

Grover put his name on Randy's guitars because he worked for Charvel and didn't want to use the Charvel logo on a custom one time project. When Ozzy started taking off Charvel and Jackson re-worked their business arrangement. It's convenient for them to re-write history now that Randy's guitars are so iconic.
