I was just watching a YouTube shorts video on Dean winning this, and the video was posting a lot of pics throughout the years of players with Deans.
Saw a pic I have never seen before... Randy Rhoads playing a red Dean V that had white pickups. I've never, ever seen a picture of Rhoads playing a Dean before that one, I wonder if it was a guitar that RR owned, or if he was just jamming on someone else's guitar?
I looked it up, and sure enough it was for a gig just before he joined Ozzy from what I found.Borrowed for a gig

Also found one that was for sale on reverb a few years back.
Apparently Dean wanted to do a limited run Randy Rhoads red V, and made a prototype. But Randy's mom shot it down, wouldn't give her permission, so they only made the 1. According to reverb it went for $2,700, not bad for a USA made 1 off guitar.
