Ready-to-play, solid-built American design, delivered bulletproof: Iconic Jackson guitar model receives top-tier upgrade, now fit for the stage in California.
Introducing the Jackson American Express Series Rhoads RR24: A Modern Metal Beast
The Jackson American Express Series Rhoads RR24 is a guitar that stands out, both in terms of its sharp angles and its pedigree. This instrument, a modern update of the custom prototype signature guitar developed for the late Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads, is considered a metal beast and a thing of beauty.
The Rhoads RR24 boasts a maple neck-through-body design with solid alder wings, reinforced with graphite for added durability. Its fingerboard, a 12" to 16" compound radius ebony fingerboard, provides a comfortable playing surface for intricate solos and fast riffs. The guitar features 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, ensuring smooth and precise playability.
One of the standout features of the Rhoads RR24 is its reverse headstock, a design choice that adds an aggressive edge to the guitar's appearance. Brandon Ellis, a musician, praised the Rhoads RR24, stating that it embodies everything Jackson's high-performance designs stand for.
The Rhoads RR24 comes in two variations: a Hipshot hardtail model and a Floyd Rose 1500 equipped model. The Floyd Rose 1500, recessed in the body for divebombs and other effects, offers superior sustain and tuning stability.
Ellis mentioned several spec highlights, including an easily accessible spokewheel adjusted truss rod, a push-in style tremolo bar, stainless steel Floyd Rose upgrades, glow in the dark side dots, and locking tuners. The guitar also comes with a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup and a Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup, providing a versatile tone palette.
Tim Owens, a musician, presented the performance of the American Express Series Rhoads RR24 in a demo video. The guitar, built for metal and speed, comes 100% tour-worthy right off the shelf. The matte finished olive drab version, in particular, feels amazing in Ellis' hands and looks sharp on anyone who wields it.
Jackson has expanded its American Eagle Series with the Rhoads RR24, a guitar that features bulletproof American construction, high-quality specs and hardware, and contemporary upgrades. Whether you're a seasoned metalhead or a budding guitarist, the Rhoads RR24 is a worthy addition to any collection. The Rhoads RR24 is available now.
