          That was actually from his last photo shoot I believe. I don't think he got the chance to use it live.

            I read that it was the photographers and Randy just used it for the photo shoot.

                I remember doing an oil of that pic in high school. I think I gave it to a high school crush, who never gave it back to me (she was really into Ozzy and Randy...and that painting won her over for a while....well...got me laid anyway...LOL!)

                  There is an interview with that photographer in a 1987 issue of Guitar (player?)... I'm pretty sure he said the acoustic guitar seen in the same shoot was the photographers... the LP was Randy's. Why I remember this... I have no idea.

                    I remember reading in that '87 interveiw with the photographer, that it was indeed his very last photo shoot, and the accident occured maybe a week after that.

                        A friend of mine was given one of those to him by his Dad (a lefty Les Paul). Such a nice guitar but he ended up destroying it by using the neck and pickups for his own custom guitar which turned out really bad. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                            I have that pic, it's from an '87 Guitar World about the 5th anniversary of the accident and coinciding with the release of Tribute.

                              Randy had recently purchased that guitar prior to the photo shoot. It was a '59 with changed pickups.
