Jackson's first customer was the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads, who asked us to create a model that met the demands of his technically challenging playing with visual panache. The result continues to evolve in order to meet and exceed the needs of players who came of age listening to his groundbreaking work. The Pro Plus Series Rhoads RR24 is a proud claimant to the throne of high-tech guitars.
The Pro Plus RR24 pairs a single ply bound okoume body with a mirror top to a through-body three-piece maple/walnut neck, bearing a pair of graphite rods for reinforcement against the assaults of temperature and humidity. The speedy neck profile is engineered for blazing guitar work, removing any obstacles to fleet-fingered playing and granting easier access to the upper frets. Featuring 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12""-16"" compound radius ebony fingerboard is the ideal platform for heavy chording and fast, ripping solos.
Modern Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucking pickups drive this guitar's voice, combining for highly balanced, flexible tone for even the most aggressive of styles, with plenty of high output for pristine cleans and snarling distortion. The sensitive Floyd Rose 1000 Series recessed double-locking tremolo system adds expressive vibrato to notes and chords with the tap of a finger, along with rock-solid tuning performance and precise intonation. The most recognizable of Jackson's myriad offerings, the Pro RR24 boasts the familiar aesthetics that keep Jackson axes in high-demand for performing guitarists.
From the unique sharkfin inlays, pointed 6-in-line matching headstock and revolutionary body designs, this instrument is very distinctly a Jackson creation. Jackson guitars don't just push the envelope, they annihilate it - and the Pro RR24 is no exception to the rule.
