A guy on randyrhoads.tk is getting a polkadot replica made and he was going to get Karl Sandoval (the maker of Randy's original polkadot V) but he settled on GMW to make it! Hey GB, maybe you should should send him your experience with Lee Garver and his shonky work!!!

Lee has made a lot of those RR PD replica's including one or two for Zakk Wylde. He can do good/stellar work, which is why I chose him for that particular guitar, but yeah, he bent me over big time.

His versions are wildly known amongst the Randy community, but there is also a guy called Jackly? that makes a pretty mean replica too. He makes the original Concorde design at least, I can't remember if he did the PD.

I have a friend here in town that owns a Sandoval polka dot v.
I would go straight for the original because it is possible.

As far as a VVV guitar...

GB is it ok if I show the pictures of your neck on the randy site? I won't post the link to your full story as it may get you in trouble?? Or if it won't get you in trouble I will!!!! Your call.

You can do that, I won't get in trouble. Lee does great work but he chose to screw me over for some reason, which I cannot fathom. One day I hope to ask him in person and get a proper answer.

I am a member there too, I am really hanging for the new editions of Randy's Ozzy albums.

It's true you can get an original but it seems Vinnie may have got his guitar pricing from Karl. He knows how to charge.

Bullshit pricing.
