A Classic Metal Axe with Modern Metal Tone!
The Jackson RRT-5 Pro Series Rhoads solidbody electric guitar continues the metal legacy set down by Jackson shortly after Randy Rhoads's death in 1982. Metal has come a long way since the days of Ozzy Osbourne, and today's metal calls for a hotter, more aggressive tone than ever before. With modern innovations such as a compound-radius neck and Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion pickups at the bridge and neck positions, the RRT-5 combines traditional Jackson style with modern performance features. If killer looks and classic style aren't enough, then Sweetwater's got the guitar for you: the Jackson RRT-5 Pro Series Rhoads.
Compound-radius is perfect for both riffing and soloing
The Jackson RRT-5 Pro Series Rhoads sports a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate 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 high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out. The best of both worlds.
Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion pickups offer a ton of versatility
With Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion pickups at the bridge and neck positions, the RRT-5 gives you plenty of sonic options. Lean into them and they'll push your amp into sweet overdrive. Back it off a bit and they clean up nicely. Together, this classic combination gives you the right sound for any situation, especially rocking out!
Through-body maple neck plus strings-through-body tailpiece delivers epic sustain
From headstock to strap button, the Jackson RRT-5 Pro Series Rhoads is set up for truly phenomenal sustain. First, there's the through-body maple neck, whose extreme hardness keeps your strings humming intensely with every note. To provide even better transfer between the strings and the body, Jackson used a strings-through-body tailpiece design. The result is sustain that seems to last forever!
