The Rampage had a locking Kahler tremolo and relatively few were made before G&L discontinued the model. G&L reissued the Rampage in 2000, with a limited production run of 70 guitars.

Still playing one just like this. A better playing neck has never been made on a guitar. The locking tremolo is a hassle when you need to retune (once you’ve dialed the micro tuners all the way...) But I never really used the tremolo. Solid sound after 30+ years. Many guys have asked why I don’t own a Fender and I tell them this IS a Fender... a Leo Fender not the company that bought his name.
