Finally, a pinstriped gloss black finish, ebony fingerboard, and gold hardware outfit Mark’s signature axe with a touch of visual refinement to complement tthe Pro Series Signature Mark Heylmun Rhoads RR24-7's otherwise menacing cosmetics.

Multi-voice Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers
While Suicide Silence is primarily known for their brutal deathcore grind, the band has spent the past two decades exploring and incorporating a vast array of metal influences into their raw, punishing sound. To capture all of these pummeling high-gain tones within a single instrument, Mark chose to load his signature RR24-7 up with an exceptionally versatile pair of multi-voice Fishman Fluence Modern pickups. These pickups can be run in both active and passive modes, allowing players to instantly switch between the active’s modern grind and the slightly more traditional sound of a high-octane ceramic humbucker. In fact, many of Sweetwater’s 7-string chug experts have found that Fishman Fluence Modern pickups remain dead quiet, even when running your rig at Mark Heylmun-approved screaming volumes and ultra-high-gain settings.
Rock-solid genuine Floyd Rose tremolo
The Pro Series Signature Mark Heylmun Rhoads RR24-7 comes equipped with a genuine Floyd Rose 1000-series tremolo for versatile vibrato and maximum tuning reliability. This system locks your strings at both the nut and at the bridge, resulting in incredible stability when properly set up, no matter how hard you push your instrument. From ‘80s metal dive bombs to Mark’s iconic squealing riffage, the Floyd Rose is truly a must-have piece of kit for any metal player hunting after a tremolo-equipped guitar.
Fast-playing maple neck and compound-radius fingerboard
Jackson crafted the Pro Series Signature Mark Heylmun Rhoads RR24-7 to be a high-performance extended-range electric with maximum clarity, sustain, and sonic power. Its graphite-reinforced maple neck boasts a gloss finish for slick playability, while its fast-playing ebony compound-radius fingerboard is the ideal platform for heavy riffing and high-speed soloing. Down low, your fretting hand will value the 12-inch radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, lightning-fast runs, and wide string bends without fretting out.
