General

Originally built at the special request of guitar virtuoso Randy Rhoads, the Jackson Rhoads model has become a staple guitar. Never before, however, has the model come with such an affordable price tag as its does as part of Jackson's X series. What's more, this RRXT boasts a number of enhanced features, including a Duncan Designed pickup in both the bridge and the neck position, and a fully adjustable, string-through-body TonePros bridge. This Rhoads' 24-fret rosewood fretboard is fitted on a maple neck that's joined to the guitar's body by means of a neck-through construction.

An affordable neck-through guitar

Many of the X-Series RRXT Rhoads' features are usually only found on much more expensive guitars. Take the neck-through construction, for instance, which improves sustain considerably and gives you easy access to all the frets. The rosewood fretboard's compound radius enhances your playing ease as well, as it flattens out as you move your hand further up the neck. Instead of the 21 frets you usually find on a Rhoads guitar, this Jackson X-Series model has 24 jumbo frets.

Electronics and hardware

The Jackson RRXT Rhoads LH in Satin Black has two Duncan Designed humbuckers fitted onto its basswood body. The bridge pickup boasts a high-output ceramic magnet, while the neck pickup is an alnico model that produces a warm, defined sound. To cater to your every need, the electric guitar's TonePros bridge is fully adjustable, which means you can instantly switch to extremely low action, for instance. Its strings run through the body, ensuring outstanding sustain. Finally, a 3-way pickup switch allows you to select the exact sound you want.

Jackson RRXT  Rhoads LH Satin Black X Series
Wrote the following about Jackson RRXT Rhoads LH Satin Black X Series
This is a 22 fret guitar, not a 24 fret as mentioned in the website description, so be aware. Playing action is understandably quite fast, upper frets play easier with the neck-thru construction than a normal bolt on type. There is a little bit of fret board buzz, but not excessive. Guitar is light in weight, the Satin black finish is excellent. The sound is very good - no issue with the Duncan designed pups. I'm still having to get used to the long shark fin design, because as you turn around with the guitar around you, you can easily bash the end into a wall/someone else.

Also be aware this design of guitar requires a special Jackson guitar case which I have as a generic guitar case is too small. Also the Jackson case does not fit all the different types of 'Rhoads' style guitars - this is a really bad oversight from Jackson.

Voor deze som geld krijg je echt een super gitaar. De afwerking is klasse, de uitstraling te gek. Direct uit de doos speelt de Jackson fenomenaal, boven verwachting. De balans die deze gitaar heeft is erg fijn, zowel staand als zittend spelen gaat perfect. De Duncan Designed pick-ups klinken zwaar en geven de gitaar punch, veel bas en helderheid. De RRXT doet goed bij metal/hardrock. Sustain is eindeloos, je hoeft je versterker gelukkig niet te verdrinken in oversturing om een romig geluid uit deze gitaar te krijgen. Top aankoop - aanrader!
