Description

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this limited edition guitar is a faithful re-creation of Rhoads's iconic instrument, offering the same classic features that made his performances unforgettable.

The 22 medium jumbo frets and ebony fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, offer a smooth playing experience that complements both intricate solos and powerful riffs.

The guitar's aesthetics are completed with gold hardware, Schaller M6 tuners, and a zinc Tune-O-Matic bridge, ensuring both style and reliability. Whether you're a dedicated fan of Randy Rhoads or simply an enthusiast of high-quality instruments, this Les Paul Custom offers a piece of rock history with every strum.
