PP peeps,

I normally post over on PM:X but I thought this might be of interest to some of you as well.

I am selling a one-of-a-kind customized JACKSON RANDY RHOADS guitar, used by Frank Aresti on FATES WARNING's 1988 'No Exit' album (mixed by the legendary Max Norman who worked with Randy Rhoads on both 'Blizzard of Ozz' and 'Diary of a Madman'), one of the all-time progressive metal classics.

Frank is pictured with this guitar on the inner sleeve/CD booklet of 'No Exit.' This is also the guitar Frank played in the 'Silent Cries' promotional video that aired on MTV at the time. Watch the video here . Frank sold the guitar in early 1989 when Fates scored a BC Rich endorsement deal and it has only had one owner since, i.e. myself.

Specs:
Jackson Randy Rhoads (U.S. made; all original parts!)
- Serial Nr: RR 2012; Year built: 1987 in Ontario, CA
(varify at http://www.jacksonguitars.com/support/serialnumbers_productdating.php ; look under 'Randy Rhoads Neck-Thru Body')
- custom metallic silver paint job w/ Chinese dragon painted above the bridge; has a couple of chips on the upper horn and headstock tips but otherwise in excellent condition
