Re: Need Help Identifying a Rhoads

The fretboard looks like rosewoodized maple or mapleized ebony to me, hehe... seriously!! Doesn't it look weird to you guys?

Could be pao ferro or some other exotic wood.

It's at the bottom - note Daffy's leg?

Good eyes Sir! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
So now that it's documented I'd say 2.5 K USD upwards. Here is my Spitz pair:

The original Spitz guitar was seen on "Got The Time", "Bring The Noise" and "Hy Pro Glo" videos. The turtles is a replica I bought from Hawaii.

I too would be interested to buy this duck graphic RR but I haven't heard the stores name yet... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You must have x-ray vision to have spotted that.

Re: Need Help Identifying a Rhoads

the fretboard looks like mahogony

Re: Need Help Identifying a Rhoads

Not sure if that was just being humorous, but I doubt a positive ID can be made from seeing "Daffy's leg" at the bottom of a pile of guitars. I think this still needs some investigation. Anybody write to Danny or the webmaster at Anthrax's website?

Reverse fins and blue logo between Dans legs.

...that and the color of the fretboard. I'd say that's a fairly positive ID.





It looks like it has JT6 trem post inserts? Was this common, even with a custom artist guitar that wanted a real Floyd?

Sorry man, not trying to piss in anyone's cheerios, I'm just trying to interject a little bit of caution. If you guys are convinced, then fine. I'd personally look for more solid evidence. I'd hate to see someone rush into this, spend a lot of money just on the Spitz-factor alone and then get burned. Again, I may be erring on the side of caution.

While I think it's a pretty positive ID, I agree that I would like to see a better picture to document it. To me, part of the fun in seeing an artist's guitar is seeing pics of it in action. An obscure pic on a pile of leaves just doesn't do it in this case. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Still very cool. Did Danny sell off a bunch of his guitars or just a few that he wasn't attached to?

Re: Need Help Identifying a Rhoads

Dan gave away all of his guitars when he quit playing.

You are of course right, I wouldn´t call it evidence yet, I just pointed out what I could see between Dans legs.

Re: Need Help Identifying a Rhoads

I don't remember seeing that one, but here's the Donald Duck guitar with maple board that I think went to the Hard Rock Cafe.
