Posted this on the RR fan site too, but I was wondering if one of you gurus was quicker on the draw or had better knowledge
Randy's "Concorde" as the name for his guitar(s) has been thrown around way too liberally over the years, and now I would like to get this straight.
Story 1: Randy began working with Grover on his own guitar, cobbling the design on a cocktail napkin. The sleek design reminded him of the supersonic aircraft he had the opportunity to ride, which became the moniker of his first guitar, the "Concorde". This design was not approved by Rhoads as a production model, and the controlls were re-allocated with neck/body becoming streamlined into the black stringthrough model, Named: (?) that became the approved design of the Jackson Rhoads line.
Story 2: Story 1: Randy began working with Grover on his own guitar, cobbling the design on a cocktail napkin. This guitar earned the name, "Original Sin", as his first creation. The "Original Sin" design was not approved by Rhoads as a production model however, and the controlls were re-allocated with neck/body becoming streamlined into the black stringthrough model. The sleek re-design reminded him of the supersonic aircraft he had the opportunity to ride, which became the moniker of his "improved" guitar, the "Concorde" and is the approved design that production Rhoads models are based upon.
Details not withstanding (feel free to add/make corrections), which of the stories is true? Is the White "O.S." and the black the "Concorde" or is the white the "Concorde" and the black un-named?
