Myself, I just love the Inlays!! I am getting Iron Crosses on my Custom Soloist. Jack.

That model rules and as soon as they start showing up used, I will probably get one. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Congrats. I really like the no nonsense evil look of the Bond Rhoads.

Re: what do they go for new?

I really like it too. I'd get a green one but my wife would absolutely shit about the pentagrams. Skulls, death, flames-she's cool about all that but the mark of Satan would be a bit too much for her [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

She liked The Exorcist though...hmmm

Re: what do they go for new?

The pentagram is about as much a mark of satan as Ronald McDonald. It's a pagan symbol.

Re: what do they go for new?

I wouldn't even care about the pentagrams, it's worth getting it if the guitar is nice, not to mention it's pretty good craftsmanship on it so....I'd get this Rhoads if it was routed for 2 pickups, and if it had like white bevels or something. I'm not much for blood red or green.

Re: what do they go for new?

The pentacle is pagan. Pentagram is Satanic. There is a difference FWIW.

It's a perfect candidate for routing a neck single coil! [img]/images/graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: what do they go for new?

Fuck a single coil, put like an 85 in there :-)

Re: what do they go for new?

I'm not sure about the pentagram either. It would be better if it had upside down cross inlays, and 666 painted in blood on the body too. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Fuck that! If I were to route for another humbucker, the 85 would go in the bridge and a 60 or 81 in the neck. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
