I have been on a quest to collect as much information on the Rampage's history as I can find. I am interested in finding any rare or unusual models. Such as rare factory finishes, hardware and the different bridges. So if any G&L Historians such as Gabe or Fred see this, I would appreciate any help at all.
Mark St. John was briefly Kiss' guitarist in late '84 to early '85. After his departure from Kiss, he was in a LA band called White Tiger from '86-'89. He only played a couple of shows with Kiss, and as far as I can tell, these shows were the Rampage's first appearance. At that time he played a black Jackson Soloist and a red Rampage. Photo's of Mark are hard to find, but I have found a few pictures of him playing a white Rampage with black tiger stripes and a Floyd Rose. A yellow model with a Floyd and a black pickguard. He also had a light blue Rampage with gold hardware and a gold Floyd. He also had two red models, one with a black kahler, and one with a chrome Floyd. Mark passed away in 2007, and his family sold his guitars, but none of his G&L's were offered. Does anyone have any info or know the whereabouts of these guitars?

Mark had a light blue Rampage like this, but had gold hardware. Has anyone ever seen a G&L superstrat in this finish?
I woud appreciate any info or photo's of oddball Rampages
Thanks,
