Randy Rhoads is the reason I play guitar. Love this guitar!

[stephencottam]

Man, I absolutely love your channel. I’m a bass nerd rather than a guitar nerd, but I’ve a real love for getting under the skin of instruments. I’m a new dad, and you’ve kept me company on many a sleepless night when our daughter has no designs for sleeping. Thanks for turning out so much quality content. Big love from the UK.

I’m surprised Murphy Lab hasn’t done “stand rash” as part of the relic!!

dayum that buttercream color looks so good

[flamethefirefox]

Randy got the early to mid '70s LP custom when he was with the band Quiet Riot. His band mates gave him the guitar as a gift from what I heard.

[sgt.grinch]

Randy will always be my favorite guitarist.

[JokersWild]

If only Randy had lived a couple more years. He was really just getting out of the gate with his writing and playing. That LP sounds amazing

[Duke_de_Plata]

This one sounded really nice! Maybe it was just your amp tone settings or whatever but I think it sounded exceptionally good.

[bluegrooveracing]

I love Randy, but Tommy Shaw and Wild Cherry were the reason my first Les Paul was a white custom. Had the tuners with flip out tuner cranks. Those are very hard to find these days. Mine was purchased new in 1982.

[brianice]

I have a black custom from the same era with the same tuners and bridge also does not have the 20th anniversary inlay. I was told that my guitar is probably late 74 early 75 having the ABR1 and the Schaller tuners.


I love my guitar and it sounds amazing… seems to get better tone as it ages. I had mine refretted with liking the same threads that are on your reissue in this video. Night and day difference from the original flat frets. Mine also has the skinnier neck and I love it.

Thank you for posting this video because it gave me a lot of information on my guitar and I love your channel

I love the aged white Les Paul custom 😎😎😎😎

[Relayera]

I had a 75 custom. It didn't have high frets, but it didn't have the small 50's spec frets. They were low and wide.

[alexw]

I don’t usually comment…guitar and pickups sound amazing

[MarkTurner-vsuc]

He liked the small frets. He said he didn't like big frets

[silvernuggets]

Imo.
That repetitive checking does not look good.

[sgt.grinch]

Amazing tones, the Super 74 pickups are awesome.

[JONNIE_ROCKER]

Sorry to say, , worst relic/ crackle I’ve seen in a long time.

[larryburwell]

Well i have a 81 cherry burst les paul custom. i replaced all the plastics with cream and the pickups with dimarzios. Paf in the neck and super distortion on the bridge. id not trade it for any of these rhodes guitars ever. beautiful guitar

[Steven-retx]

Randy got it from "Ronno" one of his musical inspirations.
Mick Ronson.

[clownose]

Very nice 🙂 looks very much like jonseys 74, with the witch hats😁
