An Apogee of Modern Metal Design

The Pro Plus Series Rhoads' serious metal persona and high-performance fixtures cement it as one of Jackson's finest rock-inspired designs. Its premium tonewoods and legendary body design have made it the weapon of choice among several heavy rock revolutionaries. With the inclusion of premium Jackson hardware, Floyd Rose appointments, and a formidable Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup system, Jackson has managed to progress this axe's stellar reputation even further. Significant enhancements include sharp pearloid shark fin inlays, a 3-piece maple/walnut/maple neck, and a deluxe oiled neck finish. If you're looking for a maverick of authentic heavy metal performance, you'll be flying high again in no time with a Pro Plus Series Rhoads in your hands.

Head-to-toe heavy-rock artistry

A glance at the Pro Plus Series Rhoads invokes heavy rock history's most iconic instrument design, and Sweetwater guitarists agree: Jackson has nailed every detail. By utilizing okoume wood for the body, the Pro Plus Series Rhoads is lighter than most, making it a stellar option as an onstage companion. A neck-through construction and speed neck profile make it even easier to navigate, making transitions up and down the 24-fret fingerboard a piece of cake. If that weren't enough, Jackson finalized the build in a unique oiled finish, ensuring a sightly sheen without threat of catching during play.

Outfitted in esteemed rock regalia

The Pro Plus Series Rhoads' finest features don't stop at its construction. A Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo makes light work of massive dive-bombs. Meanwhile, your intonation remains incredibly stable, thanks to onboard Jackson sealed die-cast tuning machines and a Floyd Rose 1000 series locking nut. Pearloid shark fin inlays along the fretboard with luminlay side dots promote notational accuracy in even the darkest stage and studio environments. Topped off with locking strap buttons and dome-style control knobs, it's evident that Jackson took every detail into account when designing the Pro Plus Series Rhoads.

Superb Seymour Duncan pickup dynamo

Under the hood, the Pro Plus Series Rhoads packs serious tonal firepower. In the bridge position lies the Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 humbucker, known for its searing high output and articulation. A Duncan Distortion SH-6N completes the duo with a tight top-end with plenty of potential for distorted squeals. When paired with the Pro Plus Series Rhoad's onboard 3-way pickup switch and volume and tone knobs, you'll have the means to scour any heavy-duty tone from devious bottom-end licks to serious dive-bombing solos.

Reviews

My New Favorite RR24
I own several RR24 models, and when I saw that Jackson was releasing a Pro Plus model, I had to check it out. The gloss black finish with white binding looks killer. The neck is unfinished which I personally love and it comes with stainless steel frets. I should also add that although it doesn't say this, the frets feel like they are rolled and incredibly smooth with zero sharp edges. The neck on this guitar "feels" different compared to my other Jackson RRs. It seems thinner/faster and super easy to play and the ebony looks and feels great. The only thing I wish that was slightly different is the pickup configuration. I've been playing a JB in the bridge of my other guitars so I'm used to it. Duncan Distortions always sound great (I have them in my other RR24s), I'm just personally used to the JB currently. With that said, I received the guitar in perfect condition. There were zero cosmetic flaws/QC issues. Shout out to Pat Walsh who is my sales engineer and never points me in the wrong direction. I added a Plek to the setup process and it was worth it. The intonation is on point and action is super low with no buzz. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the instrument which is rare. All in all, I'm very happy with this guitar. It sounds and plays awesome. Thanks Pat and Sweetwater!
