I did not know these came Kahlers, I thought RR used floyd rose.


RR's Jackson V's were hardtail. The Concorde & Polka V were fulcrum non-lock.
Were talking before FR was even a thing. And the first floyds were non-fine tuners only locked at the base of the bridge.
Brad Gillis still uses one of those on his Red Strat.

Not sure about Kahlers, but RR's Polka Dot didn't have a Floyd,

One lucky, then, teenager


Contact Sandoval about the specs: karl@karlsandoval.com

I emailed him a few months ago inquiring if he still did repairs. He replied, < 24hrs, stating he's too busy with customs builds. I think he remains a one-man-operation ever since leaving Charvel/Jackson.

Sandoval, from an interview with Larry Dimarzio, said the RR Polka Dot is painted midnight blue, not black. Sandoval also changes the dotting pattern on each of his builds.

Sandoval also assembled/finished/painted the EVH Bumblebee, with the Lynn Ellsworth neck. Or one of my colleagues calls it the Pittsburgh Steelers guitar. LOL.

As you can see hear in exhibit A, clearly Randy had a Floyd Rose bridge.

I had a newer Jackson CDX22, snow white, Concorde I sold recently; 22-frets and a fulcrum trem:

A USA RR1 is one of the finest metal guitars you can buy. Got a new 2018 5 years ago from a Vegas shop on Reverb for a shocking $2150. B-stock and I can't find a thing wrong with it 👍

That is really sharp, no pun intended. Very nice
 
Looks like a standard fender tremolo in this pic.

Some hardtails and a fender tremolo.

The Kahler tripped me all to fuck
