Hi,
So this is just a pre-cursor to a longer thread to come. I've been hunting for an original Randy Rhoads-esque Les Paul Custom for about 10 years, off and on. I've owned a great '89 Custom Black Beauty that I've dubbed 'The Road Warrior" bc of the heavy, natural wear on the back & back of neck. I've had that one since 2010, & I love it, but it's not the Grail
I've started recently to have bad GAS for a real '74 - '75 white Custom, like Randy's. The prices recently have been escalating, so I figured it was a now or never scenario.
With some very helpful assistance of a some of our esteemed members, especially dwagar & roodyrocker (thanks Rudy!!!), I've managed to source my absolute dream, holy grail Les Paul. This will soon be transformed into a RR lookalike, but these are some pics in mid-transformation.....more details to follow. Also, if anyone is interested in the '89, please let me know. I have to sell a few to make this work
