  • LTD Body Material, warrenty and other question

    Actually I have a several questions. First of all though I’m new to this site and really hope I’m posting this to the correct forum. My name is Jerry Eakin. I've been playing guitar since 1984. I play a Randy Rhoads limited Addition #46, A RR3R, A RWR , a Kelly, and a pair of 80's import Charvels. (Among other guitars that I’ll not mention here [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

    So my question is, I have one of the Jackson Randy Rhoads Limited Additions. I was curious if anyone knew what the actual body material for that guitar was. So far all I have heard is "Well it might be alder or it might be this or that" which doesn't help.

    Next question is about the warranty info. I literally drove to the post office when I sent my warranty card in, but I was never able to verify that Jackson received it. When I emailed them a couple years back they put me through to a Shawn or Shannon in the custom shop who answered the phone, sat it down to 'check' when I repeated my question about the warranty card and an hour later the phone got hung up with out anyone ever coming back (I wasn't happy about that) So is there someone I can contact to find out if they do in fact have my warranty info. It's probably not a big deal 13 years down the road but, it's a question I would like answered.

    Question about the RWR(Roswell Rhoads) I have one and I recently saw something that said it was a limited run. Was it in fact a limited run or did it just fail to sell and get discontinued? Right now the guitar holds little value to me, but if there's anything special or worth while in keeping it I will.

    Randy Rhoads question. Is there anywhere outside the Jackson custom shop I can get a replacement pick guard for a RR guitar. I have a serious issue with the current set up of it (I actually use my toggle as a kill switch and it would be put to better use in the slot where my neck pickup volume is. The holes are all different sizes, I could just drill it out but I’d also like to get a different looking pick guard anyway.

    thanks

    Good question dude. I have 6 LTD's so I should know, but I can only guess also. Anyone?

    If you want to sell your LTD, email me. I'm looking for two more. Thanks.

      welcome!

      the LTDs have a maple center with alder wings.

      the aluminum roswells are rather collectible, and go for around 3k + on ebay. unless you're newc and have a horseshoe in your ass. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

        For the pickguard....check out our own Budman of JCF fame. He makes super high quality replacement parts (pup rings, control cavity covers etc.)

        I am sure that he could do whatever you needed him to do for you.

          The Roswell Rhoads you have is a very unnatractive, unwanted model that sold very badly. I can help you get rid of it if you like.

          Also, Randy's White V was meant to have maple sides, along with the maple center. That's what it says in an 84 Guitar World centre spread on his two Jacksons.

                          I just wanted to avoid any more confusion. I'm actually not looking to sell the RWR. It's already promises away to someone (If I get rid of it at all.) I wasn't sure if this guitar held any real value or if this wooden version was a failed model. Like I said, someone had called it a limited run which made it sound like it was rare is a positive way [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

                          Thanks for all the info on the LTD.

                            Put it on Ebay and watch the fight ensue - I got a Grover Jackson Roswell for about $450 with case last year (made for the Japanese market only, had a pointy headstock and dot inlays), and then ran across a wood Roswell (Japanese made for the US/Euro market, crop circles and Roswell headstock) for the same price [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] It nearly killed me to throw that much cash out in such a short time but I'm glad I did [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Both versions play like a dream - Drake is soon to be in receipt of the Grover, BTW [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                            And yes, I had a horseshoe up my ass when I got an aluminum Roswell for $645 shipped (it had a broken neck) and then found a genuine replacement neck for $350 [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
                            But after a few swigs of prune juice I dislodged the horseshoe and missed the $355 USA Korina King V with broken head which would have cost ALL OF $250 to fix [img]graemlins/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                            Ah well, they say I can't have all the good ones [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
