You want the Jackson JS30 Rhoads.

Jackson Select JS30FM Rhoads Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • The first Jackson
  • Weapon of choice
  • Stellar components and construction

The first Jackson
The Jackson JS30FM Rhoads follows in the footsteps of the axe that brought Jackson to prominence. Originally commissioned by the late, great Randy Rhoads, his namesake guitar was actually the first Jackson made. It quickly gained a following in hard rock circles soon after production began in the early 1980s, and has been played by such luminaries as Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Megadeth's Marty Friedman, and Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden, among many others. More than 25 years after the design first made waves, the Rhoads' aggressive body shape remains unmistakable, and it plays just as fast as it looks.

Your weapon of choice
From Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Rick Savage to James Root of Slipknot and Stone Sour and Derrick Green of Sepultura (just to name a few), some of the most formidable axe-slingers in rock have used Jackson guitars to generate their fretboard fireworks - for good reason! Jackson guitars are designed from the ground up for monster tone, amazing playability, and rock-solid reliability every time they take the stage or hit the studio. Of course, it doesn't hurt to look good, either; if you're looking for a visually stunning instrument to impress your audience and show that you mean business, you want a Jackson!

Stellar components and construction
What makes Jackson the solidbody electric guitar of choice for so many players? Start with the neck: hard rock maple with a comfortable, fast carve, it's joined to a rosewood compound radius fingerboard and optimized for blazing leads and massive chords alike. Jackson guitar bodies are designed with killer tone and eye-catching looks in mind, providing distinctive body shapes while staying lightweight enough to play all night. Jackson uses hot humbucking pickups for ample output so you can get the most out of your amp. Top-flight hardware is another Jackson hallmark, including highly stable trem bridge units and dependable tuning machines.

Jackson JS30FM Rhoads Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Indian cedro body; distinctive Rhoads body shape
  • Maple bolt-on neck with compound-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets
  • Two Jackson humbucking pickups; 3-way toggle
  • Two volume controls plus master tone; black hardware
  • Jackson JT-580 Floyd Rose licensed double-locking tremolo bridge
  • Gig bag included

Shred in style without breaking the bank with Jackson's JS30FM Rhoads!
