Built in 1983 for Eric von Theumer of Blitzkrieg who was at that time a Charvel/Jackson employee. This was the first custom guitar he built for himself.
Original Floyd, and Prototype non Floyd-spaced Jackson J90 humbucker that was added in 1985.
Matching reverse head and VERY unusual 1 7/8" width at the nut, like a classical acoustic. Rather odd looking with the R2 Floyd nut used!! If I recall correctly, R2's were the only nut width Floyd offered at the time. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here...but I can't think of another reason to use this nut on this neck.
Thin lacquer finish is heavily yellowed and has a few cracks here & there.
Schaller tuners and finished Flamed maple neck with ebony skunk stripe!
Followed shortly after by RR0150, his Red & white Jackson Rhoads (this guitar was previously posted in the 'Show me your V's thread) which was being built at the same time but took much longer to complete. Obviously he had a thing for Red/White guitars!!

I thought Blitzkrieg was a British band that did the song Blitzkrieg that Metallica covered.
