  • Rand Eye Candy

    It's been a few years since I've posted anything on Rand guitars so I thought that I'd share a few pics that I took late last summer...the first time that I actually photographed all 7 of them together. If you like obnoxious 80's shred guitars, enjoy!










    And some smaller groupings:








    I actually sold the white one not long after I took these pics...I just didn't play it anymore and didn't want to hoard these when others could be enjoying them. In fact, I may let a few more go...not sure yet. I never set out to collect them, simply to have backup to my original purple one.

    I still contend that these arre the best "Super-Strats" ever built...I have yet to play anything that compares for big, fat tone on a Floyded guitar and the playability is unsurpassed. The original 27-fret shredder

    Those are beautiful guitars. Wasn't there some talk a year or so ago about Rand returning? Would love to have one, but I have never been a "Strat" body guy.

      Awesome collection. I don't know much about them, but I've always been very curious. If you do decide to part with anything, keep me in mind...

      How does the neck feel? Is it similar to a Jackson, or some other brand? What wood(s) are they made of? How old are they?

      Hope you don't mind all the questions!

        I've been getting a bunch of questions lately (probably as a result of a Rand popping up on ebay) so I thought that I'd share what I know. A few years back when Rand Havener started building again we began chatting about his return to the business. I took the content of our conversations and...

                    RacerX has one of their V's if you aren't a superstrat guy.

                      Damn! Those are cool. For some reason, I really like the single hum orange one. Thanks for sharing all the group pics.

                          Yes, but I'm not selling

                          I have a feeling mine is one of the few Rand Vs - if not the only one - he ever produced.

                            Sweet Aunt Juniper in the garden shed with a power tool! They're (See Racer? I CAN use a contraction correctly! ) indescribably beautiful. 2 things: you need a neon green one and I still think Californians are better. Been around a lil' longer, I think.

                              If you like Rand guitars, try our Abstract Caligula model. Couldn't help myself.
