RX10 Lighning Sky graphic
Ok, I'm gonna ask this because I've never seen one. Did they actually have an RX10 with a Lightning Sky Graphic? the reason I ask is that, I stopped into a guitar center in Knoxville and saw one in their used section, that's what the tag says yet, I know GC doesn't always tag them with the right name (Once saw a DK2 tagged as a SL1)
This one was in really good shape. they had $249 on the tag.Last edited by Robert Hendrix; 02-01-2012 at 07:51 PM.

It looks pretty good in person. like new. It still has plastic over the truss rod cover and back plates.. I freaked out when I saw it. I always wanted a lightning sky soloist or DK1 but as far as I knew that's all you could get em on. The graphic isn't quite as good as the USA's are but for an imports at that price, it had me tempted for a mnute. If I had the throw away cash, I would have snagged it, but my daughters getting married in april so I'm saving money for a trip home to Texas.

It was done for American Musical Supply. According to the original description, Lightning Sky was the most popular graphic for the RR1.

I've always love the Lightning sky graphic. I wanted a Nightswan when they came out so bad, but back then I couldn't afford a REAL guitar. LOL Originally Posted by Axegrinder87

It's silver with black bevels and celtic style inlays. Pretty cool looking guitar.. sticker on the back says "Made in Indonesia" though, not sure if that's a good thing.

Those GC exclusives are essentially JS guitars.

Typing in RX10D in GC Used search bar yields 2 results, this, and a black one."Today, I shat a brown monolith ..majestic enough for gods to stand upon" BillZ aka horns666
