Progress Pics Of A Randy Rhodes


Recommended Posts

I searched for the old topic but I couldn't find it. So sorry to the mods.

My plan was to make an upside down RR copy with 2 Humbuckers an on and off switch, and no knobs. That has changed a little bit. It's going to be 2 HB, and one single coil. Each pickup will have an on and off switch (these switches will be placed out of the way on the side)and a master switch (placed by the knobs like an SG) and 4 volume knobs (each pickup plus one master volume), these knobs will be placed on the top like a LP or SG would have them. The guitar is going to have a mahogany body with a flame maple veneer dyed blood red with back sides and back. A maple/purpleheart laminate will be what the neck is made out of, with a rosewood fingerboard (24 3/4" scale) with a guitar pick inlayed across the 11th, 12th, and 13th fret and white side markers. The bridge will be a black TOM wraparound tailpeice. I'm not sure about strap buttons yet. The neck will be bolt on.

thats the virtual pic of it. (crappy imitation of the pick inlay)

heres the body about a third through the sanding of the edges. I never knew it took this long to get it flush and even.

That's cool.. I used to have a hondo that was a reverse Randy V. Had a Kahler and grovers on it I think, with a white finish and black pinstripes.

I don't like the concept of the electronics setup, but that's completely subjective and personal. Other than that, I never thought an upside down RR V would look any good, but it does! I like it.
