I know he used a KV1,is the RR basicly the same guitar? Would it be hard to make a "fake" KV1? I dont mean the V with the same length points...

No... a KV and an RR are different.
The KV 1 does have the same length fins.
The RR has the off set size fins.

Here's a KV1

Big difference.
As for faking one... anything can be faked.

I think only the PU config on both guitars are the same specs.
Almost all things are different.
22/24 frets; jumbo/medium frets; Floyd(TOM)/Kahler etc...

Yep, ask Ed Roman.

You got the right!

In addition, the top fin on a Rhoads is significantly longer than the fins on a KV

No mention of the blue Rhoads from the studio parts of the "In My Darkest Hour" video? I believe it was a Student model with pink? bevels.

So Roman quit? What's the deal with that?

It's in the "first guitars" section:

Looks like Jani thinks black bevels, not pink. I have the video on tape from a compilation. I'll dig it out over the weekend and have a look...

Edit: my mistake, you both think pink and you're both right!
