msaint65 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Greetings....did my "search" due diligence but no success. Anyway, very seldom buy a guitar without knowing everything about it....BUT.....couldn't resist a 1985 Epi Rhoads - style guitar: black with gold Kahler [looks like a 2300], and set-neck. I've googled my *** off and....nothing. HC file...no reviews. Don't even know the original model name. Any help or direction appreciated - this is driving me crazy.....

Ricochet Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I've never heard of a Epiphone RR V...does it have polka dots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint65 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 No, mine is metallic black, set neck, H-H pup configuration, 2 tones, 1 volume, 1 three-way switch, gold Kahler 2300, gold Gotoh tuners [these appear not to be stock]. Dimension wise a very accurate Rhoads copy, bevels, input jack location and all. Cannot find info anywhere....on or off line. A while back one other person posted a similar question and was met with the same silence LOL! My best bet now is to find a 1985 Epi Catalog and go from there.

msaint65 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Yup....or maybe some "Demon V" info for that 2002 model by Epi. Checked all the "Blue Books" I have...zip, zero, nada. Vintage Guitar Guides....zilch. Harmony Central...nope. Probably no pix till the weekend....will do my best. Thanks for the reply....this is more of a challenge that I anticipated.

Mark A little while back another guy asked about this and I thought that it was the Demon but apparently not in your case. Sorry but I don't know if you'll get much info on this from here, at least the other guy didn't. But there is the chance that somebody may know. Good luck.

oneblackened Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think it may be a V2 (which I'm pretty sure Gibbo made, so epi should have too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I remember seeing an Epiphone RR-V in guitar shops in the mid 80's........almost bought 1. Either try to PM a forum mate with the s/n/Nelson............or a thread titled, Q: for Nelson, Epi Rhoads V ? This guy has more books and general knowledge about Epis than any other 5 ppl here combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
