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 RR65 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 1985 Greco RR65 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 very good vintage condition for its age, it shows moderate signs of playwear, including a ding on the back of the neck that was filled. It has patina on the hardware and yellowing of the finish that adds authentic vintage character all adding to its mojo dripping allure. There are a few dings, fine surface scratches and nicks on the body/neck if you look close enough, but it looks super clean overall.
The RR65 is more than a looker; it’s a tonal beast. Powered by original Greco Dry humbuckers, these PAF-style pickups deliver a sonic punch that captures the raw energy of Rhoads’ Ozzy-era riffs. This version has black painted covers that look more like EMG's but perform more like a traditional PAF. 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 RR65 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. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of rock history that’s as rare as it is righteous.

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We offer a 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.
Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
