Discover the Legacy:
Randy Rhoads' iconic Polka Dot Flying V guitar is a legendary instrument in the world of rock and metal. Here's the story of how Randy Rhoads had Karl Sandoval build him the original Polka Dot V guitar:
In the late 1970s, Randy Rhoads was emerging as a talented and innovative guitarist. He had gained recognition as a member of the band Quiet Riot before joining Ozzy Osbourne's band in 1979. Randy was known for pushing the boundaries of guitar playing and wanted a unique instrument that would reflect his style and personality.
Randy approached Karl Sandoval, a renowned guitar luthier, and builder known for his craftsmanship and attention to detail. Randy had a vision for a custom guitar that would not only stand out visually but also deliver the playability and tone he desired.
Working closely with Randy Rhoads, Karl Sandoval crafted the now-famous Polka Dot Flying V guitar. The guitar featured a distinctive polka dot finish on a classic Flying V body shape. It was equipped with high-quality components to ensure superior sound and playability, meeting Randy's exacting standards.
The Polka Dot V became one of Randy Rhoads' signature instruments and was prominently featured during his time with Ozzy Osbourne. Its unique design and exceptional playability made it instantly recognizable and contributed to Randy's status as a guitar icon.
Tragically, Randy Rhoads' life was cut short in a plane crash in 1982, but his legacy lives on through his music and his iconic guitars, including the Polka Dot V. This guitar remains an enduring symbol of his pioneering guitar work and continues to inspire guitarists worldwide.
Today, replicas and tributes to the Polka Dot V guitar are made by various guitar manufacturers, allowing fans and musicians to pay homage to Randy Rhoads and his remarkable contributions to the world of music.

The V style bodies are easily damaged on their “points”, even with people being as careful as possible. If the damage doesn’t affect the playability, I’d just grab some touch up paint from the auto parts store near you and do that.

You paid 100% of that guitar's price, and you should get 100% of that guitar.

I'd personally opt to keep it and deal with the damage as it won't affect the playability, but that's just me. Stinks that this keeps happening -- hope the next one arrives safely!

@@riskybusiness3413 most likely it's not the sellers fault, but unfortunately it's impossible to prove to the customer that it wasn't like that BEFORE it was shipped without good quality videos and photos of it pre-packaged and packaged. Either way it's another great example of why shipping insurance is a thing. Hopefully the seller has it, or can do something to get their money back from FedEx too because it's not fair to either party -- manufacturer OR customer.

Don't blame the fedex delivery driver. I guarantee you 99.9% of the time it aint the driver that breaks anything. The drivers don't work for fedex they work for contractors. The loaders are part time workers that don't care about your stuff and do not care if they break it because they don't get punished and they don't have to deal with you the customer. As a driver you can see something is damaged and try to.leave the package there as damaged and fedex will try to force you to deliver anyway and then put it on you and your contractor when the customer calls in

I second what @ronroberson said below. That's an easy repair you can fill with bondo or epoxy putty, sand and touch up. If you don't have the skills or basic tools you probably know someone nearby who does. This is not a job that requires a 'luthier.' I mean, it's a $300 chibson. Any decent hobbyist woodworker or shop carpenter could do a passable repair job on it that probably nobody would ever notice unless they scrutinized it closely. Sending shit back every time it has a booboo is not going to make the world better. Use this as a chance to fix something yourself instead of blaming it on fedex or whoever. Fix it and rock it!

@markpell8979 11 ай бұрын

Glad you didn't take me wrong. If I lived near you I'd fix this guitar just to show you how. Funny thing is half the used vees you see have some damage or wear on the points, especially if they were gigged. Having said that, I take care of my guitars and don't bang 'em up but still, when we buy something new, regardless of the price, we want the privilege of being the first/only person to bang it up, right? It hurts when it's banged up out of the box. As far as Fedex, UPS etc... shipping is always a gamble and the workers are under a lot of pressure to make quota. Most of the time they get our packages to us with undamaged contents, which is pretty amazing really. Last year though I bought an Epiphone ('authorized' Chibson-ha!) P90 LP Special used from GC for only $125. It came to me with the neck pranged loose in transit, otherwise perfect in excellent condition. I redrilled it for fatter screws, stabilized the holes with brushed-in Titebond and reattached the neck, and now it's better than new. Much easier than the return and billing fiasco. Love your channel brother!

@FultonStreetBeats 11 ай бұрын

Oh I totally get it. No worries. I actually fix guitar finishes all the time. Mostly Nitro corrections. Easy fix, with some filler, and blending time . However, it is still time-consuming for a proper job. I'm willing to tackle the job provided the seller eats some of it. You are 💯 % correct. We like to make our own damage. Lol. Human nature is so weird. Thanks for watching brother. 🙂

Or the stomped neck on that beautiful goldtop a couple weeks ago, that was just sad and unfortunately not really worth the trouble to fix. I just had a wild thought- the crunched point on this Randy Vee could be the first step of an authentic-looking relic job. Not my thing personally but I've had people ask for that on furniture and guitars, and this may be a good escape option on this guitar for you or one of your customers. Anyway enjoyed the conversation as usual, have a great day!

I love your channel and the cool videos that you create and share with us. Thank you very much for you time and effort to bring us these cool uboxing videos. It's a known fact that that delivery companies do not always handle with care. What I just don't understand is why you or anyone else order any guitar or musical instrument without purchasing a hard case for it to be placed in when it's shipped no matter where the instrument is sent from. That would have kept the instrument from being damaged. Still doesn't let fed ex off the hook for mishandling your package, but would have allowed the nice guitar to have been protected. There's no way I would order any instrument without making sure it was shipped in an actual hard case. I surely do not mean to make matters worse, but in the future just buy a case when you or anyone who watches this channel or any other channel that contains videos of unboxing guitars. It doesn't have to be an expensive case, but spend the extra few dollars and for the instrument to have a case. Any guitarist should know to buy a case. They do sell nice ones for not that much more. It's a shame that your beautiful Randy Rhoads V arrived damaged. I wish that hadn't happened and that you had to have this experience end this way. So please just order a case in the future so we all don't have to see those Styrofoam boxes anymore. In my personal opinion it's always better to see someone opening the case to reveal a beautiful guitar.

I bought a cheap guitar online for my son. "What if he does not like it" I asked. No problem, easy return policy. Just pay for the return shipping. Sounds reasonable. Son gave the thumbs down. So back it goes. They shipped it from one state away FREE 2-day del....but their "return center" was across the country. The cost of shipping it back was almost the value of the guitar. So I have a theory. They intentionally shipped damaged product thinking their was not much chance of a return. And gave me free 2-day air to make it even more costly to send it back was I was obligated to "ship it back in the same way we shipped it to you."....cross-country 2-day air.....very expensive. This is why I fear buying a Chibson.

A lot of times, a case is not available from the seller. Especially when it's a V style guitar. Also, a V case would have gotten damaged. Damage is damaged. Regardless. The guitar was shipped properly in foam. It's how I ship guitars also. I use UPS, and I have only had one issue ever with shipping. And that's because of a UPS traffic accident. This is the third guitar shipped through fedex, damaged by FedEx this month, and the first had a hardshell case.
