Parts for Rhoads guitar

Ethan Vawter — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 05:30:36 +0000

I'm looking to change the chrome hardware that I have on my RR3 rhoads and I just wanted to know if anyone here knew of a place I could find said parts? I want to replace them with gold (or brass w/e is that goldish color) parts, I need a new floyd trem and ive always wanted it to have gold hardware so I figured i would just change all of it and get a gold trem but I am not having much luck finding individual pieces to buy. The pickguard especially is giving me the most trouble locating.
thanks in advance if anyone knows anything

the Musonia Band

Danny Beal — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:51:22 +0000

Mrs. Rhoads was my piano teacher for over six years. I got to take lessons at Musonia for over 10 years.
The Musonia band was my introduction to playing with other musicians. I remember fondly the Friday afternoon sessions Mrs. rhoads directing. Randy on guitar. Kelle on drums.
I have made my living on the piano for the last 33 years.
Thank you Mrs. Rhoads.

Marshall Factory Tour

GlamKeef — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 22:25:31 +0000

I recently visited the UK, primarily to attend the Download Festival. Whilst I was in England I visited the Marshall Factory in Bletchley. It was good to see a 1959RR half stck in the foyer when I arrived. My tour guide Geoff is the Marshall Archivist so I quizzed him on exactly how many of the 195RR's were actually produced at the factory. No exact figures were available but he said "in the hundreds, but less than a thousand".
Further on in the tour there was a Marshall poster featuring Randy Rhoads - the staff were very helpful in tracking down one for me to take home - at no charge!
At the factory, there is a small auditorium with a stage, PA etc for private clinics, shows etc. In the auditorium there was a (larger than) life size cardboard cutout of our man. Here are some photos:-

Mike Shannon talks about Randy's Jacksons-Premier Guitar Magazine July 2011

Roodyrocker — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 21:54:39 +0000

Just came across this today! Premier Guitar magazine has an interview with Jackson Master Builder Mike Shannon about Randy's Jacksons with some cool pix of both guitars. Its in the July 2011 issue which I need to go out and find! Here is the link to the online version I saw: http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2011/Jul/Builder_Profile_Jackson_Custom_Shop.aspx?Page=1

Interesting that even Randy's black Jackson had black tape on the back of it. I'm starting to think the story about the tape on the back of the white Concorde being there per Sharon's request for a dark stage is not entirely accurate. I mean, why cover up a black guitar with black tape if thats the case? Plus, the black tape would really only be needed on the white guitar which Randy used to open the show with. That would be the Les Paul yet it and the Polka Dot V don't have any tape. The article states Randy put the tape there to protect the back of the guitar. I think that makes more sense than the dark stage/dark guitar thing at this point. Anyway, just my opinion.
BTW, the cover features both Jacksons on of Randy's on it

1987 Interviews With Ozzy On The Release Of Tribute

Razzle1477 — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:43:40 +0000

This is the album that is responsible for turning me on to Randy's music and incredible talents. I remember I got my copy from Columbia House in one of those 12 CD's for one cent deals in 92' and that was it. I spent weeks listening to it non-stop and still get a rush from it till this day. This album is very special to me not only for my discovery of Randy but memories of growing up and discovering new music in general.Here are some interviews Ozzy did during it's release I was checking out.

Guitar World July 2011

Roodyrocker — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:53:03 +0000

I just picked up the July 2011 issue of Guitar World at the news stand last night. Randy is the entire front cover and there is an article inside including a pullout poster. I think its great that Randy still continues to be rembemered and graces the cover of guitar magazines nearly 30 years later. Some cool pix in the issue. My only disappointment with it is that none of the shots feature him with either of his Jacksons. On the up side though there is an interview with Zakk Wylde in the same issue and he recounts a story where a young fan walks up to him and tells him he's the best guitarist Ozzy ever had. Zakk tells him no, that would be Randy. Pretty cool!
