And sounding mighty fine, too. I was also surprised how comfortable this axe is to play. It only has temporary pickups as I'm waiting for a pair of Seymour SH6's, meantime it has a Jackson J80C in the bridge and something out of a Japanese Greco V in the neck. As with my Soloist posted on another thread, the Floyd has a brass big block (42mm deep - the advantage of a non back-routed Floyd!) round the back.
I gigged the two of them back to back on Saturday night, through my mighty Marshall 2000 (the 250 Watt behemoth from 1981, not the newer JCM2000) and the Rhoads had the edge tone-wise for bridge position rock, although the Soloist beat it hands down on stuff needing neck pickup.
The Rhoads was a direct result of seeing Vinnie Vincent playing his, back in 83 or 84 (and it's taken me this long to find one in any sort of red), although the colour on this one is much more restrained than Vinnie's which looked like lipstick!
