I loved and still do awe at Jerry Cantrell's G&L guitars, especially his Rampage models .His beat up, distressed, sticker & alcohol stained, infested wooden glories are as imprinted in my mind as much as Alice In Chains' music. As a guitar player, wishing and praying that a miracle would happen and that somehow one of these babies would end up in my hands was quite frankly...a distant one. But now thanks to G&L one of these bad boys can actually be yours...well not Jerry's actual one, but certainly similar model as customized by Jerry and G&L ,to bring you the closest thing to that mighty Rampage as you could ever own. The original was made in it's hundreds making it a rare guitar, especially since produciton only ran for 4 years; 1984-1988! They were made in that 1980's super-strat vein but now it's back, and hopefully for a longer period of time. It's available in two models; the 'tribute' (import model) & the U.S version. Main differences come in the hardware / pickups, here are all the details courtesy of the clips below...Including further info on Jerry's gear One with Jerry himself giving us a little tour and the second featuring his guitar tech 'Punk Rock Dave':Alice In Chains is currently on tour, kicking some major butt!
