There is truly nothing more I can say, but if you're thinking about it then get it. There is not a single chance you'd ever look back.

Sound
The sound that comes from the RR5 is deep, full of warmth and power. You start to fall in love the second you start playing chords. The SH-4 pick ups sound incredible and it is very unlikely for anyone to replace them. I replaced mine for a Dave Mustaine Live Wire pick up set because of a specific sound I was looking for, but I had zero complaints with the original pick ups. I didn't even get rid of them, I plan on using them again. With distortion pedals it still provides the same clean and powerful sound. I don't like rating anything 10 on sound because each person has his own taste, but I really don't think anyone could go wrong with the sound that comes from this beauty.

Features
Great pickups, beautiful gold trim, shark inlays, rosewood fretboard, strong fret wire, great bridge, and a thin neck great for speed/shred/thrash metal.

Ease of Use
Very easy, 3 knobs to control volume and neck/bridge tones. It's a guitar, can't complain at all.

Quality
I'm not big on imported guitars due to bad experience with Korean guitars, but I must say I wouldn't even look twice before going Japanese again. Their quality is no different than American in my humble opinion.

Value
Personally, for the… read more money it is unbeatable. This is not a cheap guitar by all means but next to a King V, I really believe there is little to no difference between both and the King V is well over 2,000$.

Manufacturer Support
Jackson is a very helpful company that looks to make sure you get 100% from any product they sell. I didn't need any support with this guitar but I have with previous Jacksons, and I'm never worried about any problems I may encounter because they are short lived.

The Wow Factor
How do you not find this classic jazz style color on a shape that SCREAMS metal.
