I’m looking for a guitar model that I had years ago. It’s an Epiphone Flying V half-cut, similar to a Rhoads. I believe it had a Kahler locking trem system. Year would be maybe 1984 or 85. There was a cease and desist, so they made it for maybe a year or two.

Anyway, it was a pretty sweet guitar. I sold it when I went into the military, but have been thinking about finding another one recently.

I’ve got one that I completely restored. It has a Floyd Rose tremolo and a Bill Lawrence pick up in the bridge. Really smooth great sounding guitar.
 
Hondo made some Randy Rhoads copies. I bought a used one. It wasn't bad for the price I paid.
