New score - Roope Latvala's Custom Rhoads RR2073!

[RR0849]

Arrived today. Awesome sound!!! Condition is like you'd expect from a 20 year old guitar.
This was Roope Latvala's first Jackson Rhoads (possibly the first in Finland)
and was used by him in Stone until he switched to 24 fret RRs.
I got an email from Roope and he confirmed the guitar's history.

Here are some pics...






I will clean it tonight and put new strings on.

Here are the log entries for Roope's and Jiri's first RRs:
RR2073 ... 9/30, Custom, Blk, Floyd, W/O 1849
RR2074 ... 9/30, Custom, Bk & ?? Bev, Jack, W/O 2176
Those entries are circled together and the next three RRs were made for Anthrax!!! Nice patch there! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Here are live pics of Roope and Jiri with RR2073 & RR2074...



I'm so happy to own the first "Finnish layout" Jackson. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Roope is currently in US touring with Children Of Bodom.
