Randy Rhoads

The Marshall 1959RR is a great head! Very loud and has classic old school Marshall tone. When is yours arriving?

Are you getting one? My local dealer had a full stack and man was it beautiful! A buddy of mine that's a tube amp whiz is building me a Plexi clone with a push pull pot that will activate the cascading mod like what is in the RR head. Mine will be 50 watts with a Master volume though. I can't imagine a 100 watt head and no Master volume! Considering Randy had several of those things blaring behind him it's no wonder Ozzy can't talk anymore! HA HA!

Has someone ever seen a pic of the Sandoval V that Lynch had?

I was thinking the samething! I'd love to see a pic of that guitar!

Not sure.

You can tell a 1972 LP because the pickups have "Gibson" embossed on them.

The 1974 I heard was an aniversary, which should have had a special inlay on the 12th fret saying "20th Aniversary" or something link that.

I know for a fact Randy's Paul didn't have the gibson logo on the pickups, unless he changed it. I agree with the '74 anniversary model, but I know a huge Randy fan that owns a '74 Cream Les Paul that's not and anniversary, just a standard custom.
