Do I need to go custom for this ?

Unless you're dead set on the RR1, but I reckon it works better like this because there's no pickguard.

I already said I hate KVs, and the pickguard on the Rhoads looks cool IMO

Like bombtek said, get an RR24 sent to Mike Learn, painted and sent to you.
Get a CS quote too, and compare costs.
If you won't budge on shape, then it will cost, but if you've got the money, go with the CS and get exactly what you want.

I can relate (in a reverse sort of way). I love standard Vs but HATE the offset ones. They are so ugly IMO.

I remember that guitar! The lightning Sky on KV is sweet! more area to paint graphics. You could order a RR1 24 with no pickguard but $$$$ and a little bit of a wait. Call Mike Kotzen to see what the actual wait time is now.

I've said for years that it should be no more work on Jackson to put Rhoads wings on a Soloist neck, but nobody listens to me.

I seriously hope for the owner's sake that tip is still on the headstock
