Killer MIK‑era Kramer Randy Rhoads V in a rare metallic purple finish. Freshly set up in Eb with 10–46s, this one settled in naturally and plays fast, stable, and expressive. The factory Quad Rail humbuckers came alive after a pickup‑height adjustment, and the 24‑fret neck gives you the full Rhoads range for harmonics, runs, and upper‑fret work. Sounds huge through high‑gain amps — tested through my Carvin half-stack and it absolutely rips. I'm loving these pickups. Tapered body makes the wings slimmer and more manageable than the normal RR Offset V bodies.

Condition
This guitar is in remarkably clean shape for its age — easily a 9/10. Only a few tiny nicks around the body edges and V‑points, with no visible damage and no structural issues. The original case is included: it’s a bit rough cosmetically, with signs of a past paint spill and a home‑repaired hinge, but it’s solid, functional, and protects the guitar well.
Summary
A sharp, articulate, high‑gain V from the sleeper MIK era — clean, dialed‑in, and ready to rip. A Rhoads‑inspired weapon with great condition, killer tone, and a rare finish. These pickups are the secret weapon. If you know, you know.
