Re: New Randy Rhoads Model!!

I thought they were old and made quite awhile ago. I remember reading about them somewhere but have never seen one.

Wasn't Karl Sandoval the man who made Randy's axe like that?

OH! MY! GOD! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] That is SOOO cool!! Check out the case!!! and it has 21 frets, like the original. Fernandes made some cool replicas in the early 80s but were made to stop. I wonder what the deal is with these? It looks like they may have got Mrs Rhoads' permission?

Funny thing is, I could get one from GMW for a LOT less, not as cool a case though.

Yeah, Karl made Rany's Original. I don't know how Randy used it, with vintage trem and no truss rod.

Re: New Randy Rhoads Model!!

Well, Randy did go out of tune occasionally on stage, as can be heard on "Tribute". Great player, though.

Re: New Randy Rhoads Model!!

Why get a replica from GMW when you can get one from Karl himself? I saw him make a replica for some dude and lemme tell you I dont really like v's all that much but it looked sweet. ****er charged me $60/hr to work on my amp & guitar tho, so I only used him about 3 times. I think he has a website at www.sandovalengineering.com Maybe thats not it I 'member it was sandoval somefin..... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Cause it would cost a LOT more once again. Karl doesn't make them like Randy's anymore either, they don't come with Danelectro necks and no truss rod. These are improvements yes, but it's not exact so go where the quality and price is the best, GMW.

I just noticed the red handle on the case, what's up with that? [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

DUDE $60 an hour aint bad. the only thing i dont like about sandova's are the lack of truss rod unless his new ones have them, randy's didnt

Sacrelige on the JCF I know but isn't the polka dot kinda hmm "gay" I love V's I love Jacksons but Randy is a monster but the polka dot always looked gay to me.

FYI, Sandoval will make one with a truss, I've seen and played one, a guy local to me has an original Sandoval along with a PCS and an LTD, they were for sale at one point, not sure anymore tho...
