Channels the Electrifying Spirit of a Metal Pioneer
A contemporary update of the early-’80s Randy Rhoads model, the Jackson American Series Rhoads RR24 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 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 resilient Gotoh tuning machines and a Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo, enabling you to engage in wanton whammy abuse with absolute impunity. 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 was forged for fearless shredders who dare to chase the same electrifying legacy Randy carved into rock history.

High-octane performance and playability
Players with high-performance demands will be duly impressed by the American Series Rhoads RR24. For starters, this fabulous instrument boasts a surprisingly ergonomic, offset-V-shaped body, meticulously sculpted from a solid slab of alder. The RR24’s 3-piece, graphite-reinforced maple Speed Neck and its 24-fret, compound-radius ebony fingerboard offer next-level playability. You’ll also appreciate this guitar’s neck-through-body construction, which gives you a super-unobtrusive heel shape and unrestrained vibrational transfer. There’s a reason why so many metal-obsessed guitarists rate Jacksons as their number-one weapon for insane leads, sudden-death riffs, and other high-flying fretboard hijinks; pick up the American Series Rhoads RR24, and you’ll feel that way too.
Classic hot-rodded humbucker tones
Cranking out relentless metal tones, the Jackson American Series Rhoads RR24 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’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.
Built for dive-bombs and squealies
The American Series Rhoads RR24 confidently handles your most extreme dive-bombing and pitch-bending pyrotechnics, thanks to its Floyd Rose 1500 double-locking tremolo. While the Floyd is fully capable of subtle, expressive warbles, that’s probably not what you’re shooting for. Never fear — this lean, mean shredder also tackles screaming harmonic squeals and subterranean dive-bombs with equal assurance. Even better, this trem’s double-locking design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. On top of that, the Floyd Rose 1500 features upgraded stainless steel screws and a push-in tremolo arm, adding extra durability, adjustable tension, and an ultra-stable playing experience. Whether you use or abuse your whammy bar, the American Series Rhoads RR24 is more than happy to accommodate you.
