Rhoads Neckthru info

[rrric]

I ran across a Rhoads for sale in local paper. The pics he emailed me showed it was a neckthru, but had dot inlays. Any idea what model this might be? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

It could be an old Student, or an RR2...I can't remember if RR2s were neckthru or not.

RR2s were bolt-on. So yea, probably a Student model

There was a neckthru Rhoads Pro with dots too. Is there some largish writing after the logo that could say Professional?

Could be a Rhoads STD.

Yes, thats a Rhoads Pro Neckthru with dots!!

Re: Rhoads Neckthru info

That kinda what I was guessing. Hadn't run across one without sharkfins before.

Re: Rhoads Neckthru info

It's highly likely it is a Rhoads Pro Standard like the one above, but it still COULD be an 80's custom built Student Rhoads model. A custom shop guitar without sharkins and binding. RacerX has one.

J+6 numbers - Japanese made [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
The USA models all had J+4 numbers.
I've not seen many import neckthrough/dots either.

And the custom Rhoads will have an "RR" before the four digits. So just find out the serial number and it will really solve the identity issue.

Re: Rhoads Neckthru info

I had him send me some more pics and there appears to be a crack around the radius of the neck where it meets the body. Doesn't look very wide or deep. Should I avoid this guitar?

Re: Rhoads Neckthru info

The seller informed me that it has been sold, although I think the neck would be a problem someday. Oh well, thanks for the info anyway guys. Til next time.

I have a couple of Rhoads Students (same serial number scheme as Customs of the same era). Click here to see detailed pics of them all.
