Up for sale, a 1991 Grover Jackson Dan Spitz Professional Rhoads V in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with its original hardshell case and hangtags. Designed in close collaboration with its namesake Anthrax shredder, this is a streamlined version of the stock Randy Rhoads V, loaded with EMG 81/85 humbuckers.

Weighing 8lbs 2oz, tonewoods include a through-body quartersawn straight-grain maple neck and yellow poplar wings with a bound ebony fretboard. The EMG humbuckers pack a powerful punch, with fat, thunderous response and metallic scream from the 81 at the neck to muscular growl and smooth lead tones from the Alnico V magnets in the 85 at the bridge. This Dan Spitz Professional Rhoads V benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Black finish has some chipping into the wood on the treble-side body point, and the tip of the bass-side point is missing a small piece of poplar (touched-up). There’s moderate buckle rash across the back, with additional minor marks on the body as a whole. The gloss finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean, save for a few shallow indentations behind the 12th fret.

The original black tolex hardshell case is included, complete with factory paperwork dated to the 3rd year of the Heisei era (1991).
