Looks like Jackson guitars are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the RR5FR rhoads guitar which will definately appeal to metal heads and thrashers not so much blues folk.
They have made 150 guitars in five different colors, black with red, gold or white, white with black or red graphics. They have give differen version which are hand-numbered 1 to 30 on the back of the headstock.
It has the classic V shape with maple neck and body along with rosewood fingerboard and diMarzio Tone zon pickups. Combined with a locking tremolo made by floyd rose and a nifty guitar case to boot.
For those that will remember Jackson kicked off in the 80s with the slash design that would become the main Rhoads guitar used by Randy Rhoads.
here is a quick video of it in action.

Taylor creates some seriously cool guitars. I own a full body acoustic by them, that cost me $2000 and I have to say its a beauty. Now Taylor has teamed up with Dave Matthews to produce the Dave Matthews Signature Models. Everyone knows Dave from his band which formed back in the 90s and has a strong following of fans.
Now you can get your hands on an amazingly beautiful guitar.. here is the break down on this beast!
