GRECO RANDY RHODES RR-55

[mojo hobo]

Hello folks,

Got this GRECO RANDY RHODES RR-55 today with my burny that i posted about in the burny section.
I was hoping that when i brought it that it was a RR-65 with DRY 82s,
I did a lot thread reading on here about the differences between the rr-55 and the rr-65.I decided it was a RR-65 because of the tuners being the same as an old post about the greco RANDY RHODES model,I guess i misread the post or most probadly the specs and hardware was always changing than from the catalogue specs,Throw the rule book out the window.
Thats what i love about MIJ guitars you never know what you have ?MORE FUN THAT WAY :lol:

Fujigen built 84,screaming 82s,Weighs a ton! Utterly fantastic guitar and sustain,I am slowly warming to customs ,just wish it had DRY 82s and that would make it perfect.

Snap! I've got one of them too, fantastic Les Paul, unbeatable for the money I paid.

I too was disappointed when I popped the pickups to see that they weren't Drys.

nice one

how much does she weigh?
glad to see someone enjoys the extras :lol: ..............

With or without strings MIJ :wink:
Lets say she is bloody heavy,I know that becuase when i slung her over my shoulder my back was creaking like a old barn door.

I would say close to 5kg, I do not have any scales in my house so its a guess!

Randy was a small chap.
If he could hack it, so can you!

Great arrivals today.

That's what she said!

But seriously...was it re-fretted Mojo?

 

[mojo hobo]

Hi udo,i am not too sure,I did notice the frets are in rather good condition and are bloody big,I would say no ,They look to me original ,This model did not have fret binding as far i as i know ,Think some of the early models might have had fret binding coming out of the super real transition,Is that why you ask!

They look very similar to the eg59-60 frets,the greco i sold!

Was randy a midget.! :lol:
