Gibson Les Paul Custom 74 Randy Rhoads VOS (2010)

Randy Rhoads' 1974 Les Paul Custom is one of the most iconic guitars in rock history. The guitar with which Ozzy Osbourne's wingman rose to fame on the seminal albums "Blizzard Of Ozz" and "Diary Of A Madman" was one of the Gibson Custom Shop's most eagerly anticipated reissues. The guitarist, who sadly passed away far too soon and was honored with an impressive two songs in the Top 50 best guitar solos of all time ("Crazy Train" and "Mr. Crowley"), showed up to audition for Ozzy Osborne in 1979 with a practice amp in one hand and his beloved 1974 Les Paul Custom in the other. In 2010 the Gibson Custom Shop released a replica of that very guitar: an instrument modeled after Rhoads' own Les Paul Custom and limited to just 100 aged and 200 VOS guitars. The guys at Gibson worked very closely with the Rhoads family on this to perfectly reproduce the rich amber color of the original guitar. But it's not just the look of Randy Rhoads' '74 Les Paul Custom that has been faithfully recreated, the specs that are indicative of Randy's original guitar, such as the Slim-D Rhoads neck profile, the gold-yellowed hardware and the Gibson Custom Super 74 pickups have also been taken into account. So, not only do you get a beautiful looking guitar with an iconic factor but also a merciless Rock guitar with the best playability that is just itching for you to elicit those old familiar solos from it. We are happy to offer you this really special Les Paul in mint condition without any playwear on the frets.
