  • How many Sandoval polka dots?

    I know, search, search, search.
    Well, I didn´t find it, and besides this is a great chance for the experts to see who´s first....

    I don´t know much about these, how many were made?
    Can Jackson CS build it today with the harpun headstock?
    And so on...

    Thanks
    Kai

    PM sent.

    I thought only 8 in total were made by Karl (including RR's original one).

    There's also the 25th anniversary run and a couple of custom shops, I'd say.
    You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.

          There'll be an alternative soon, I think Shawn. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

            u can always ask him of course (http://www.karlsandoval.com/) .. kind guy, I spoke/mailed him myself a few years back, since I was lookin' to have one made by him, eventually not pursuing due to the high budget involved.. so I got a GMW for $1.000, and they are very nice.
            Besides GMW, the Harpoon Polka V was also released by Fernandes and there are other companies who still build them (abstract, ruokangas, ..).
            I've noticed Karl is selling nowadays blank bodies and necks also.

                  I thought he had built 12 so far? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

                    I recall hearing in a couple of different places that he'll put whatever number you want on them so it's possible that there are 7 S/Ns and 12 (or more) guitars. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                          Here's a better question. How many polka dots are actually on it, and are there the same amount on each one made? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
                          I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                            An old friend of mine used to have what Karl told him was the next guitar he built after Randys. It was white with black diamonds and had a smaller headstock. I'll look for some pics of it when I get home this weekend.
