YES! The RD seems to be pretty polarizing but I'm of the belief they're totally badass. Been discovering and loving Ghost lately and they rock a pair of 'em. Pure evil! :evil:

I have always loved the tone of RD basses, and I actually got to hold play one at a meet once. Heavy as balls but I loved it. One day I will own one.

The guitars look equally as badass though.
awesome signature with witty quotes from all you fuckers :)

The olympic/crestwood/coronets have always been so interesting to me. Don't think I've ever seen somebody playing one live :idk:


I play my Crestwood live! -raises hand enthusiastically- I had to replace the original nut after a show, but after I had it replaced and set up, it hasn't failed me. Gets gnarly feedback too.

I'm gonna second G&L and certain BC Rich guitars. G&L are just so well made....and the BC Rich Mockingbird and Eagle have rad body shapes.

SO AWESOME.

I love Eagles but I always forget about them whenever it's new guitar time. Someday I'll own a guitar like that

I'm not a huge fan of Young Widows, but every time I see a picture of them live I get all tingly.
It's probably because of all the wood from the Emperor cabs and that matching sunburst jawn.
& I feel cool having the same amp as that duder :cool: I should get another one to match it.

RD's are so sexy.

Toronto, I believe. Lado was a QC inspector for Hagstrom for a while...
The killer body styles were done in the 80's from what I've seen. They're still around making really nice looking stuff, though.

They kinda look like the guitar is flexing his muscles for the beach babes.
