A question for Rhoaders

[Missiles]

Hi! I know that a lot of people here have either a Randy Rhoads or a ESP KVH ( or something, I think is name is like that ).

So here is my problem: I recently ( six months ago ) bought a Randy Rhoads on a german webpage. It was a RX10D, so it came without case.

A few days ago, I went to a store to look for that sexy Jackson Official Case. And when the tender told me the price, I was like " ". 275 FUCKING EUROS!! Shit, that's too much money for me, and just for a "simple" box. So I left the store running and crying... snif snif...

I haven't got a guitar case yet, but I have seen a cheaper one from Gator ( as far as I know they make good cases ) on the same german webpage. Here is the link.

I was wondering what cases do you use for your RR/KVH, and how much money did they cost ( if they didn't come with the guitar ).

Thanks!

I have 2 Jacksons with moulded hardcases and both of my cases came free with the guitars, but i can tell you to buy real jackson case.. Just ebay it or buy from the US or soemthing.

 

[Thanatopsis]

ebay was the first thing that came to my mind
mine was also free

 

[Missiles]

Yep, case comes free with higher series.

But, if I bought it on eBay, the shipping ( especially from USA ) will be too expensive, because I live on a remote island, near the coasts of North Africa, territory of Spain. The Canary Islands, don't know if you know them. So, at the end, it will cost as if I bought it brand new.

Both my Rx10D and my KV2 came with free cases though, it must just depend on the dealer.

I say if you care for the guitar, go all out and buy a good case...


if not, get the kramer Vanguard case from musicyo.com

i bought my cases used, one from Guitar center, and the other from an independent seller.

 

[nikon87]

Yes , I wonder how can hard cases be so fooking expensive . Mine was 200 euros used.

 

[LedByTheReaper]

What, How the fuck did your KV2 come with a free case and me KE3 which is a higher spec guitar not come with one... And the fucking locking nut sucks.

 

[-Gavin-]

Umm, dude KV2 is a USA handmade guitar....
KE3 is a Japanese factory guitar.

 

[LedByTheReaper]

But they're cheaper... The KE2 costs £400 and the KE3 costs £800... Boy I'm getting pwned or Jackson have cocked up somewhere...

Other way round bro

Haha, exact same problem here, just in my case the problem with the case (what a wordplay...) is that it's sold out everywhere at the moment... There is actually a cheaper one that can, however, be used for all extreme Jackson shapes at a time; it's about 139 to 169 euros depending on where you order it. At the moment, I'm not using a case at all, just carrying the thing round like that... Which makes it impossible to jam with anybody who doesn't have a car. Rrrgh.

 

[Missiles]

Hehehe, good too hear that I'm not alone in the world.

Yeap, I think I will buy that Jackson Universal Case at the end. However, I'll have to live with just one kidney for the rest of my life.

hahahaha......

pretty soon i'll be looking for a case that can fit a 24 fret rhoads

i'll probably buy the cheapest rr3 or rx10d with "case included" i can find on ebay. then maybe sell the piece of junk in a gigbag and keep the case

Just start a thread on Harmony Central Reverse Spam for a case. I got a rhaods case for my White one. A rhoads case is a Rhoads Case, 22 or 24 fret.

 

[Abrasive-X]

have you tried bass cases?

> A rhoads case is a Rhoads Case, 22 or 24 fret.

yeah, maybe with an extra 3/4" of the fretboard sticking into the body.....

 

[HalfpintHenkka]

unless there's a bass out there shaped like a Rhoads a bass case won't help

This is bob, over at Leprosy's house:

My 24 fret rhoads fits snugly in my second case, it's a rhoads/King V case, so it accomodates the 24 frets

 

[delt]

yeah, but like i said, yours has an extra 3/4" of the neck sticking into the body.
