It seems to be a mix of mine and the original black and brass PCS series... my only guess.

Grover had it in his garage up until the early-mid 90's. Rob lane found it, had it completed and I bought it from Rob around 2001. Yeah, crazy huh?

That is probably the Sickest thing ever... I mean, I just about shit myself when I found out I can have the guy who made guitars for Randy, build my custom shop order.... But to actually have a guitar that was built and intended for him? that is utterly unreal!! I would probably slip into a coma as I opened the case for the first time after the UPS man dropped it off... you must have been wicked pumped... I can't even begin to imagine.

When I found out that Rob was selling it, it was like really unbelievable... I thought that I would never get the chance to buy it.... I can't explain what I felt when I actually grabbed it, held it and played it.... magical...

I'd be afraid to play it as I couldn't hold RR's pick, let alone play his guitar. I'd throw the entire space time continuum off or some shit that would bring the world to a screetching halt!

Great story.

Think it was ever touched by Randy? Did he maybe visit the shop when
the body was being made? Or was he dead already?

[SATCH1967]

Very Cool man.

I have one of his picks (tortoise Fender medium) from the Blizzard tour...it's really not hard to hold at all

[86barettaguy]

very cool guitar. almost makes me want one. it DOES make me want one. think I'd better go play with my guitars to get over that feeling...

You mentioned the kahler. Seems like I remember when that guitar was being restored that Rob Lane said something about the neck pitch needing to be fixed or something like that. I bet it was originally made for a kahler because doesn't the neck pitch have to be different for one of those?

I remember when Rob was selling off his guitars. Some people got some really nice ones out of that sale. I wished I wasn't broke at the time!
