The other difference is lack of a flame maple center. That one at Dave's Guitar looks similar to the one on E-Bay. That is to say much better than the one at NAMM. I doubt they would have a Volute on the USA as they are not pancake bodies either.

Reviving an old thread. (sorry)

Grover is finally releasing the vintage style pearl rotomatics

They're called Vintage Rotomatics Series 103. You have a choice of gold or chrome machine heads with the vintage looking pearl buttons.

I was just about to drop close to $300 on ebay for the vintage ones.

Thanks for the info. Back at NAMM when I asked Grover about these they seemed clueless about what I was talking about and they have them.

Update: Grover's customer service emailed me back saying they will be released to the public in mid-October.

Time to start another Ace Frehley project! I'm planning to use a new flamey LPC

I have a triple pickup 74 RI cherry sunburst that can be turned into another Budokan very easily by going with cream plastics and these tuners I have a set of original Grovers with the Pearloid banjo buttons but might have to save those and get these new ones.

Those 74 reissues are great.

When I loaded the one I had with Super Distortions and plugged into my marshall jvm210 with the gain a little past the half way mark, it was pure bliss.

I just didn't bond with the neck but damn I haven't had a better sound since, so I'm thinking I should have learned to love the neck, instead of selling it.

Yes, those 74RI's are awesome! In addition to the triple pickup cherry sunburst I also have a 74 RI in Aspen White which is a 2 pickup model. I play the white one live. Basically these two models are the Ace Budokan and the Randy Rhoads sig models in disguise I did an RR makeover on the Aspen White one already.
