My buddy Jerry over at Jerry’s Music has a sunburst 1974 Gibson Howard Roberts guitar for sale and it is gorgeous, so I had to put a picture of it on my blog.  :)  I had the opportunity to play it and it is one sweet guitar.  Very smooth sounding & playing.  If you’re looking for a new jazz box, this one’s worth a look.

The 74 Howard Roberts has the shape of an ES-175.  It has a single floating neck humbucker, ebony bridge, and a tailpiece like the classic big band guitars.  The oval soundhole gives it a really cool & distinctive look.  Check it out, it’s a work of art!

Update on Guitarist Randy Rhoads Documentary

From Blabbermouth.net 11/4/09:

Director Peter M. Margolis of Dakota Pictures is rapidly approaching the final stages of editing and post-production on “Randy Rhoads: Last Train Home” (working title), the long-awaited documentary film on the life of celebrated rock guitarist Randy Rhoads (OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT). Margolis is reaching out to anyone who may have a candid photo of Rhoads to contribute to the film… (visit Blabbermouth.net for more details)

It’s good to hear that things are progressing.  There was some buzz earlier this summer when the movie trailer was released, and then subsequently pulled due to rights issues.  But anticipated release dates for the film have come and gone.  It’d be nice to see it open around his birthday (Dec 6), but I imagine the anniversary of his death (Mar 19) is more realistic.  Looking forward to this one.

Update: as of Nov 4, 2009: According to Blabbermouth, “Director Peter Margolis is rapidly approaching the final stages of editing and post-production.”

Below is a trailer for the upcoming documentary on guitar legend Randy Rhoads.  I can’t wait!  His influence on me and countless other guitarists has been profound.  There isn’t much footage of him live, so this movie will be a real treat.  Tentative release date is September 2009.  (via Hard Music News, @mrrocknroll, @guitarkadia, & Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles).

(Edit – It appears that the video has been taken down.)

(Edit -Found it again, thanks to mog.com :)
