Channels the Electrifying Spirit of a Metal Pioneer
A contemporary update of the early-’80s Randy Rhoads model, the Jackson American Series Rhoads RR24 HT offers the modern player a razor-sharp blend of heritage and innovation. This sleek, aggressively styled solidbody electric guitar boasts an asymmetrical, offset-V-shaped alder body, which is reinforced by robust neck-through construction, ensuring rock-solid stability and natural, singing sustain in endless supply. The RR24 HT features a 3-piece maple Speed Neck, which is capped with a lightning-fast compound-radius ebony fingerboard and crowned with 24 jumbo-size stainless steel frets. Matched with a high-gain amplifier pushed to its limits, this axe’s direct-mount Seymour Duncan humbuckers unleash tones that rip through fusion, blaze through hard rock, and annihilate in full-throttle metal. You also get a Hipshot hardtail bridge, Gotoh locking tuning machines, and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, ensuring bulletproof stability and maximum vibration transfer. Inverse mother-of-pearl sharkfin fingerboard inlays, Luminlay side dots, a reverse headstock, and a spotlight-ready satin finish put the perfect final touches on this exquisite instrument. Crafted where it all started — in Corona, California — the American Series Rhoads RR24 HT was forged for fearless shredders who dare to chase the same electrifying legacy Randy carved into rock history.

Classic hot-rodded humbucker tones
Cranking out relentless metal tones, the Jackson American Series Rhoads RR24 HT harnesses its direct-mount Seymour Duncan humbuckers for pure high-gain fury. In the bridge, you’ll find a JB Model — the classic hot-rodded humbucker. You know, that sound — the one we’ve all loved for the last 30 years. Conversely, the ’59 Model in the neck is a moderate-output pickup inspired by the PAF-style humbuckers of yesteryear, giving you access to an entire arsenal of glorious vintage-flavored, alnico-fueled textures. These scorchers boast plenty of output without sacrificing tone, adding harmonics, sustain, and the perfect amount of distortion to your playing. To top it off, the American Series Rhoads RR24 HT’s streamlined controls comprise dome-style Volume and Tone knobs, along with a 3-way blade switch, giving rise to a wide palette of metal-ready sonic textures.
