Master design and craftsmanship with a neck-thru body for searing sustain.

If you're still looking for your sound, you'll find it with the Jackson RR1 Randy Rhoads Select Series Electric Guitar. The young master metal shredder never lived to see the mass production of this guitar, but he helped design and approved the prototype. Equipped with screamin' Seymour Duncan open humbuckers (an SH2 at the neck and TB4 at the bridge) and an original Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo, this guitar is designed specifically for the kind of sonic pyrotechnics its inimitable namesake made famous. Jackson's famous sharkfin mother-of-pearl inlays adorn a bound compound radius ebony fretboard mounted on a lightning-fast quartersawn maple neck that runs right through the sculpted alder body. Mother-of-pearl Jackson logo adds a touch of class to the bound headstock.

Jackson's compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. With a more relaxed hand, you'll play better!

This guitar is probably one of the best guitars made for metal and rock music. Considering the quality , it's a masterpiece. Pickups aren't that loud, you can have clear non-muddy chords, good amounts of distortion, neck pick up is also good for solos and cleans. Neck is very fast and fretboard is really good, if youre a shredder at least give it a try you'll see. Original floyd rose never got out of tune and i've been using this guitar for 1.5 years it's a top quality guitar. A better guitar would be a very expensive custom shop around 5000 - 7000 $ with flashy look. In short, it's one of the best guitars out there.

Metallic Black Jackson USA RR1 Randy Rhoads

I have owned a snow white RR1 for two years. The guitar is flawless in terms of build quality. The trem is perfectly weighted and the Floyd Rose is simply the best trem system you can have on a guitar. The the ebony board is perfect and the sounds are pure metal. The switching on it is a bit of a faff. I wish they would use the x2 volume switching that they use on the RR5. I like to bank off the neck PU volume and use the toggle switch as a kill switch to get those classic on/off sounds that Randy got. I suppose it would easy to rewire it but it would be nice if Jackson did it from the start. Personally I cant see the rationale for having one volume and two tones. Who uses tone controls anyway? That said its a lovely guitar and I have used it live and it always gets admiring looks from the audience.

I don't own this guitar but play it at my local music store I love it. Unlike some of the other v's, this is very comfortable to sit and play with the smaller the horn on the bottom. The controls are a little weird but anyone could get used to them. This guitar plays like a dream and will send you to METAL HEAVEN IN AN INSTANT!! It also does well with bluesy music and jazzier stuff. Definitely a rocker. Its more money than the rr5 or rr5fr but well worth the money. I've played both and always go back to this rr1. Both are great but this one to me plays better. This guitar kicks MAJOR ASS!!!
