Though the entire group were quite distraught, the remaining band and crew members were forced to remain in Leesburg for an additional two days,[3] until preliminary investigations were completed.

In particular I want to thank two Facebook pages. Jackson Guitars released an exact replica of Rhoads' original white "shortwing" V. His original guitar was handled, photographed, and measured extensively by Jackson's luthiers to produce the most precise replica possible.

Yes, I also play classical guitar because I became aware of it through Randy. Fingerboard:Ebony [24] Aycock succeeded in making two close passes, but botched the third attempt.
