Hello guys,
I got this guitar without hardware last September from Ian... it arrived safely in Italy after a week (canadian and italian posts rule LOL)!!
However, a couple of shitty pics (only the first is good, it was taken by Ian)














I am still trying to get used to the tom, I miss the floyd all the times !

Nice! What's the story on the sharpie?

[levantin]

Signed by Delores Rhoads I guess, cool!

[ekalb09]

That looks SICK, amazing score and happy NGD!

[sixx_ gunner]

Very nice! love the look of that!

[tonesfoyobones]

Oh That's sick bro! Congrats

[WRC]

NICE!!
I loves the top on that Rhoads..
I want to ask about the three small pins/screws? in the nut??
Also what pickups did you go with in it??
Being signed by Dee Rhoads is also very cool, even if your name isn't Micheal..
Congrats!!

Hmmm????.......... a little curious myself. LOL.... I didn't even notice it at first glance.

Thanks Guys, I was thinking about changing my name in Michael Sergio, that would make sense LOL!!
Pickups are Blackouts something, I don't really know the model cause I saw them in our studio and I just traded them for a couple of emgs... they sound great, more like a passive pickup than an active...
Oh, the bridge pickup has a small thing that can be removed to limit the gain (they have TONS of gain, more than I could ever need and use)!

I don't know what type of nut is, however those 3 screws keep the nut in place

It's an Earvana

Sweet! I always liked that one when it had gold hardware, but the black looks great, too.

[WRC]

Earvana Nut Tuning system it is..
I just wondered on the pickups, I figured they were EMGs or Blackouts..

I can tell by the first picture that guitar looks stunning & was a nice project guitar for sure..
I figure over in Italy you don't run across many USA made Rhoads Guitars at a decent price..
There hard to find over here too, At a decent price that is..
NICE!!

Sweet guitar! I love how XTRR's play and feel.

[Sergio]

It's not a normal XTRR, it has the short 24.75 scale and a fat neck, so the feel is closer to a Les Paul than a Jackson... I used to own a gibby Explorer and the neck was very close to the XTRR's neck.
