What kind of Neck on those? I hope it's like the RFH, I personally love that sharp V style , but I like Chunky Gibson style necks as well! I just can't stand the D necks or the flat ones like the asian Primal Concrete guitars, meh.

No. It should be a C if they are modeling it after the original. Twas a 79.

Very cool but I thought this guitar was already manufactured along with the import FBD??? Either way, cool to see it and I am looking forward to seeing images of the assembled axe

If your FBD is anywhere as good as the one I had when they were first released (I bought mine the day Funky Monkey first got them in), you have a killer playing guitar that just needs the locker installed off a double locking trem to be a stellar guitar. The Ping trem is very good, just the screw in arm sucks

The FBD was not based on the '79 series, way better build, mine weighed in at about 10.5lbs and rippedass

I don't think mines a 10.5 lbs-er lol.. It's actually my lightest guitar.. And it's my second best player (behind the cross) but with the B&B it's IMO my best sounding guitar!

The one I played at the store weighed like 8 lbs.

Beautiful axe!! About freaking time that Dean starts putting out USA versions of the Dean ML's Darrell actually played. Should have started this alot sooner as the Razorback is old news where axe slingers/collectors alike want the guitars Darrell played live on stage, be it Dean or Washburn!! Rock on... Cool

ROCKHARD guitars says on ebay auction only 25 will be produced....catalog says 100.

from auction "Once the production starts there will only be 25 of these made world wide"

who to believe? Maybe reading lessons are in order? Maybe got confused with the sledge ML?

The first 25 will be USA, the last 75 will be old imports with string-trees installed Laughing

Would be nice if it came with the correct stickers to for people to add if they so wish.

I think they will make 100 of these, the FBD is pretty popular guitar and it makes sense that they only made 25 of the PCS guitars because that thing is fugly if you are not a dime fan.
