Anybody Remember the Rhoads Limited Run....??

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

Anybody remember the Rhoads limited run....w/fat necks like the original Rhoads guitars?? IIRC they were black & gold/brass....Gotoh tune-o-matics like the RR1Ts (not like the originals or the JCF-01s) ....anybody remember which dealer did these?? They were listed on ebay for awhile but can't find 'em now!!

Thanx in advance!!

Were those the semi-recent Shannon runs? Within the past 5 years or so....? So far, all I'm finding was that it was through Musician's Friend.

That is them....THANX Sully!!


& had to laugh @ this from their description: "Construction-wise, this one comes with six strings" .... !!

Shouldn't the overall rating be an average of the other ratings?

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

Well....I did remember the guitar & specs correctly....but not the asking price....yikes!!

Chuck, IIRC there were two versions. The Shannon-signed limited run (pricey) and unsigned (not so pricey).

I have one of the unsigned. I was a little hesitant when I heard it was a thick neck but it turns out that "thick" to them means "perfect" to me

I have one of the Shannon built/signed ones...plays amazing and very light...

Was there any difference between the two other than the signature? Did they pay any other extra attention? I seem to remember that the signature was a significant up charge. I wish I had one of the signed ones though. It would go well with the Shannon soloist.

pjg or daisp (or anybody that has had both) have either of you had a JCF-01 too & could compare the necks (same size/profile) ??


Thanx in advance!!

I've played a JCF-01, it may have been slightly beefier. The guitar was heavier than this one too..pretty similar otherwise I guess

[pjg]

I have never picked up a JCF but I remember someone describing it as being a baseball bat. This isn't even close to a baseball bat. ( to me) if a JCF is only slightly beefier it might up my interest in one. The baseball bat description scared me off

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

That's what I was hoping to hear....thanx again!!

I wouldn't let that description scare you off. My JCF-01 Rhoads have a "Baseball Bat" neck yet is extremely comfortable to play.

Agreed. I owned the JCF-01 that is at Music Zoo now... Its a huge baseball bat neck but very comfortable to play
