I always try and show as much as i can of any imperfections, blems, dings, dents, flaws, lacquer checking imperfections or anything that i see on every guitar i sell however i am not perfect and even though i do my best to show everything i can sometimes things can get by me after all i am human, That being said... This guitar has lacquer checking on it all over and it will continue to advance and have more checking as it ages i am sure that is how checking works. This guitar is hand crafted and has also been played and USED a lot and has flaws, blems and dings marks etc. and it definitley has Nitro Lacquer checking going on which was done by design and i am sure it will continue to check which is normal for a Pre-checked guitar. If you would like even more current pics please feel free to contact me and i will gladly take and send more pics to you.., Pre-checking process: the checking was designed to occur all over the guitar to give the look of being aged, it even has some checking on the headstock (it did not show up on the pics of the headstock i posted so i will be adding new pics and try my best to see if i can get the pics to show the headstock checking) along with all the other areas of the guitar, that's how i did the process of pre-checking. I tried to show as much of the checking as i could find at the time of the listing and i do my best every once and a while to take and post newer pics so please check them out.
This is one of my own personal Tribute guitars used by me in the studio along with on demos. it is all hand crafted by myself.
📌PLEASE NOTE... This guitar has lacquer checking on it! It has been Pre-checked... Which means it Has accelerated Lacquer Checking by design to simulate an aged checked guitar and will continue to check more over time!
" I built this guitar all by hand the "Old-School Way" in my shop for my own personal use, however you can't keep them all, so I have decided to sell this one out of my collection, it's a great player guitar with looks to match. I am a Huge Randy Rhoads FAN and set out to build an V model that would serve as a proper tribute toRandy.
Well Over 100-Labor hours were put into this one-off guitar.
* in the demo video anthony says there is a Nightcrawler pickup in the bridge position but its actually an EMA pickup in the bridge.
*NOTE-This guitar has been used and played by myselfat and for video demos and may have some blems/flaws/dings etc. it also has some accelerated real nitro Lacquer checking which was by design to make it look aged. Note- Pre-checking- is a process during finishing that accelerates the natural aging/checking esthetic process by using special lacquers and heat and cold compressed air (essentially hot and cold) to create an aged look.
