The Jackson Randy Rhoads is a model of electric guitar

 It is great to see that Randy's memory is as alive today as it ever was. He was an immeasurably talented player and a humble human being. I work with Grover Jackson at our new company GJ2 Guitars. Grover has created a new take on the guitar that he designed with Randy which we are calling the 'Concorde' Rhoads Concorde Guitar . If you want to know the story of how that guitar came to be, it is frequently documented but the latest version is in the book 'Randy Rhoads' by Steven Rosen and Andrew Klein published by Velocity Publishing.

Rhoads’ Concorde has been recreated in the past, but never to this exacting degree. And with good reason: Jackson’s new relic model marks the first time the Rhoads family has allowed the original to be painstakingly examined and measured. The resulting Randy Rhoads Tribute guitar was unveiled at the 2010 winter NAMM show by Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian with Randy’s brother, Kelle, and sister, Kathy. Jackson is all over the July 2011 issue of Premier Guitar—including the cover—with interviews with Jackson Custom Shop master builder Mike Shannon and Megadeth signature artists David Ellefson and Chris Broderick. Within, the cover story delves deeply into Jackson history
