Congrats on the guitar man! Looking forward to seeing some pics. He didn't actually sign the certificate? Kinda disappointing. Here's what it says in the description on the site: "Owners of the ESP KH Sparkle Ouija™ will......MORE »

Yeah, that's the show where James' guitar tech fell and dislocated his shoulder right before Sad. I'm not sure if as a result of the fall James' D tuned Snakebyte broke, or if they were just trying to get him a guitar quick......MORE »

Did you ever see James playing one of Kirk's Rhoads before? This looks like Kirk's reproduction of Randy's original model since it has the gold logo, gold bridge, and smaller shark fins, but not 100% sure. Still pretty funny......MORE »

Ha interesting... does your relic have 3 or 4 screws in the pickguard? The older ones used only 3 on the edges. The 4th screw on the newer ones is located in the middle by the first knob. Here's the only '85 string-thru......MORE »

Yea and I also noticed and read that the early script logo have the "N" and TM placement slightly covered by the machine head as well. I think he actually has a Jackson Rhoads with the inlaid logo, but I have to look for......MORE »

metalhobo thanks for this info. I'm not really familiar with the Jackson line and found that forum which talked about it becoming the standard in the 90s, and never saw one from the 80s before with it. One of my friends......MORE »

Here's a link to the serial numbers for Jackson, and a link to a forum mentioning the logo evolution. Mine is in the early 1000s, so I think mine might be earlier than Kirk's, but the inlaid logo didn't appear on Jackson's......MORE »

Congrats on the guitar man looks pretty nice! From what I remember Kirz sold his KH-20 to buy this guitar, and now he's sold this one. Makes me wonder if he's going to use that money to get one of the new Sparkle Ouijas... ......MORE »
