Gibson to Reproduce Classic Randy Rhoads Les Paul!

Breaking News From The GIBSON Website:


"It is one of the most iconic guitars in rock history: Randy Rhoads’ 1974 Les Paul Custom. The guitar that Ozzy Osbourne sideman Randy Rhoads drove to stardom on the landmark albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman has been one of the most requested re-issues ever. "

"Now the Gibson Custom Shop is pleased to announce the release of this legendary axe. The guitar that drove “Crazy Train” off the rails will soon be available in stores. Check back in the coming weeks for more details!"

Custom Randy Rhoads Limited Run Guitar

Limited to only TEN, these guitars were crafted by Mike Shannon, who was involved in creating Randy Rhoads' original black Jackson guitar. Mike is a Master Builder at Jackson Guitars, and he has hand-signed and numbered the back of each headstock. The truss rod cover is also etched with Mike's signature. Each guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity and a cd with photos of the building process.

There is also a non-signature model of the Custom Guitar, for about a thousand dollars less.

Documentary Trailer - Watch It Here!

As many of you know, in March of 2007, Director Peter Margolis began filming a documentary about Randy Rhoads.

Although the film is not finished, a trailer to that documentary was recently leaked. It was on the internet, for a day or two, then pulled. Apparently, Margolis did not have clearance for all of the images on the trailer and threatened to halt production of the film, if the trailer was not removed.

The trailer has resurfaced and you can watch it here !

Official Randy Rhoads Forums Shut Down...Temporarily!

The "Official Randy Rhoads Forums" and the Myspace profile for the "Official Randy Rhoads Film" have been shut down, temporarily. The forums and MySpace profile for the Official Randy Rhoads Film were not run by Peter Margolis, who is the film's director. They were run by someone who is a professional musician/web developer/Randy Rhoads Fan. It appears there is some discord between the parties, and for now, the sites are shut down.

A new website and myspace profile are in the works.

The old banners will remain on this profile, and will be updated with the new banners/links, as soon as they become available.

Ultimate Randy Rhoads would like to thank S.A.B. for all of the hard work he put into the sites.
