Original Robb Lane Posting Classifieds - Photos / Prices 1990's

[AIC70]

Just drooling over this ad. Am I getting this right? Rob Lane was selling Big Red - a double rhoads - and it had a serial number of RR 0454? If this is correct, are all the original (not 25th, not JCF02) double rhoads given RR numbers? I can't find a database for RR's. I checked audiozone, but don't see it. Anyone know offhand?

Not sure if this was from late 90s or early 2000's. For those of you that have been here as long or longer then me, will recgonzie this right away. Not sure what made me print it back then, but glad I did. Every once and a while I take a look a these and remember what the old days were like......

Yep, The original (Robbin's) Big Red was there the night I made my choices.....I chose 3 others and Big Red was sold the next day to another collector.

I just didn't have enough cash to buy 4 of Robbin's guitars that night or i would have...

I had cash, sadly there was nothing there that interested me. Robbin's taste was vastly different than my own. Besides, I had recently acquired my black strathead, I was fully content.

I wish Jackson still made them that nice...

I remember playing the Scott Ian RR and Bill the Cat at DCGL. Sure wish I would have been in a position to buy something back then.

The one thing that's really sad is that now when you look through a Jackson listing, they're not all wonderful USAs and CS guitars... you have to wade through piles of sewage just to see a common USA or lackluster CS guitar. Back then there were so many unique pieces everywhere....

Couldn't agree more.

And the few truly unique pieces are priced out of sight nowadays.

Considering I wasn't a member here at that time, this thread is confusing. Also, I can't get the PDF to load properly on two computers.

Putting two and two together, I take it: a guy named Robb Lane had a ton of cool Jacksons and had something in his life that forced a quick sale at bargain basement prices and that is the PDF he used to sell the guitars? Where did DCGL fit into the equation? Did they buy and resell a lot of his guitars?

As far as I remember, many of his pieces sold backdoor to members before they were offered publicly. Then all the rest were sold off publicly. I don't remember the details, though I did get PM'd a big list after a few of the members got their dibs.

I totally agree about the cool, unique J/C's being unobtainable anymore. I think the bonanza on eBay ended a couple years ago.
