It later appeared in the Masters of Heavy Metal book edited by Jas Obrecht. It's strange how this guitar out of all the RR guitars has been kept under lock and key and has never made much press or been seen since. I know it was Randy's favourite guitar and think that's why Delores wouldn't want it to go missing or in the worse event being stolen.

I agree with you that's probably the reason she wants to avoid any risk losing that guitar......
Thanks for the info!

I'm sure all of Randy's stuff is locked away. When the documentary comes out you'll get to see the Les Paul and the Marshall.

Randy's mom, from what I've been told by friends of the family, has a hard time around Randy's stuff, because it all brings back difficult memories.

I dont like the fact that the PDV has been repainted most likely. I dont see any of the damage that was on the japanese documentary when they video taped it. That paint was badly peeled.

Whoever painted it though did a good job making it looked aged

It has been talked about before and you'll see it mentioned in this thread.
