Positive my friend has it for sale is just like the Jackson RR but no shark inlays and a kahler instead of a jackson trem he told me it is from 1985 and I heard the same year Ibanez put out a RR model for 1 year only because Jackson sued and stopped Ibanez from making them for 86 so I wonder if the same thing happened to the Epi v

I picked up an Epiphone Rhoads style offset V back in the 90s. It was a neglected $100 pawn shop piece at the time, but with a little TLC became one of my favorite guitars. It is a great-playing set neck model. It was originally wired with 1 vol and 2 tone controls, but I redid the electronics in favor of 2 vols and 1 tone. Best I can tell from the serial number label, mine appears to have been manufactured in Korea in 1985. It seems similar to the E-series Demon Vs made in the early 2000s, but definitely not the same. I’ve never had much luck finding much info on these guitars. If anybody knows anything about production dates or numbers, please share. If you happen to own one, post some pics and information so that there are a few additional online resources for others interested.
