Shred Like a Legend: 1985 Greco RR-65 Randy Rhoads Les Paul Custom in Aged Alpine White, Japanese Craftsmanship at Its Finest!
If you are ready to go off the rails, take the 'Crazy Train' to this Greco RR55 which was part of the Mint Collection Series and is a Randy Rhodes model that has a white finish that has aged to perfection. Inspired by Randy Rhoads' famous 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom, This beast was made in Japan in 1983. These fine guitars were made by the FugiGen, Gakki company and were only sold in Japan.? Feast your eyes on this stunning 1983 Greco RR55 Les Paul Custom, a tribute to the iconic guitarist’s legendary 1974 Gibson Les Paul. Built in Japan by the revered Fujigen factory during Greco’s golden Mint Collection era, this guitar is a masterpiece of MIJ craftsmanship, blending vintage-inspired tone with meticulous attention to detail. Draped in a beautifully aged Alpine White finish that’s mellowed to a creamy ivory patina, this axe exudes rock ‘n’ roll swagger with its gold hardware, gold speed knobs, and classic Les Paul Custom vibe. In excellent for its age condition, it shows only the light signs of playwear—minor patina on the hardware and subtle yellowing that adds authentic vintage character without compromising its pristine allure. There are a few dings, scratches and nicks on the face of the headstock and on the body/neck if you look close enough, but it looks super clean overall.
The RR55 is more than a looker; it’s a tonal beast. Powered by original Greco Screamin' 1982 humbuckers, these PAF-style pickups deliver a sonic punch that captures the raw energy of Rhoads’ Ozzy-era riffs. The neck pickup dishes out warm, creamy tones with a smooth midrange that’s perfect for soulful leads and melodic runs, while the bridge pickup snarls with tight, articulate bite—ideal for chugging rhythms and soaring solos that cut through any mix. With a long neck tenon and solid mahogany body topped with a maple cap, this guitar resonates with rich sustain and a balanced attack that sings through a cranked tube amp. The mahogany neck, carved to a comfy ‘59-style profile, feels substantial yet fast, paired with a dark rosewood fretboard that’s smooth as butter under your fingers.
From the mother-of-pearl “flowerpot” headstock inlay to the multi-ply binding and Schaller-style gold tuners, every detail screams quality. This RR55 is a collector’s dream and a player’s delight, professionally set up with fresh strings, low action, and spot-on intonation for stage-ready performance. It comes nestled in a deluxe padded gig bag, ready to inspire your next “Crazy Train” moment. Priced at [Your Price Here]—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of rock history that’s as rare as it is righteous. Contact me now to make this Greco yours!
