I own this exact guitar down to the color...I play it with a mesa boogie dual rectifier half stack sounds great live i can get many different tones out of it..the neck is by far the fastest and smoothest neck ive ever played...ive even recorded with it..the guy at the studio wanted me to play his studio guitar and i refused and after we were finished he appoligized and said he was glad i didnt listen to him..I own many many different rhoads guitars and ive never owned or played a badd one..over all by far my favorite kind of guitar

I would say the design of the neck was genious..very smooth and fast..but if i could change anything it would be to put a reverse headstock on it

very easy to get many different sounds out of it...ive played this guitar through a mesa dual rec a marshall jcm 900 a marshall valvestate and a peavey classic 50 and i had no problem finding great sounds from any of them this guitar is very versitile..with a few knob adjustments its not hard at all for me to find my sound..as for playing like i said the smoothest and fastest ive played

ive had this guitar for about 5 years maybe six and the only thing ive had to fix is the ground wire but keep in mind i play heavy music and my live show is crazy...jumping..tail whips..just moshing all over the stage..ive banged this guitar all over the place ive broke both points off the body and the point on the head stock and it didnt even fall out of tune

yes its worth it

ive never had to..

its perfect for me standing up playing...kinda hard to get used to sitting down and playing but its a v so what do you expect but after you get used to it..its not a problem

floyd rose, and rhoads played it

amazing

more than worth it

quick shipping, good repairs, friendly.

the shape is perfect, and the colors are just make it that much better, as well as the silver control plate, and the silver floyd, adn silver tone knobs, they all blend in and it looks wicked

this guitar sounds pretty good for playing lead guitar and everything and the pickups are great but because of the body shape the tone is kinda thin.

floyd rose is kinda stiff but thats not to bad and it has good pickups for hard rocken some may like the 3 knobs but i prefer one volum knob because i get more sound control with that awsome shark fin inlays and wicked chrome pick guard

its made alright i guess it could be broken easy cause of shape but if ur careful with it.u can rely on it and it and it will last if u want it to good quality for price the only reason i gave it 7 is because there is better out there but its good

yeah all i can say is that since this guitar is a randy rhodes guitar and its awsome looking the value is great

if u have warrenty jackson is more than happy to help u out with ur problems i never had problems

it is not like most its sharp is all i can say sharp looking and this makes it very attractive to ones eye looks even better off the screen

crisp clean jackson midrange tone needs dimarzio evolution pickups for hotter metal sound good w marshall amps

needs 24 frets decent tone controls trem etc..

nice color electronics sound clean no cut outs when switching from bridge & neck pickups smooth transition

little expensive for korean made intrument

its randy rhoads a very metal looking guitar agressive

I would say the sound is 10 out of 10 but thats only because I now have 2 Evo's in this guitar. But until recently had 81/85 EMGs in there and they sounded pretty dam heavy too.

I bet there are horrible RR3's out there that people hate the guitars now, but I really think my RR3 was made on the right day, with the right glue and the right wood, because it fits me perfect. and to top it off the crimson swirl finish, that this site doesnt offer, is quite a view.

pickups sound great,i put a dimebucker in mine

good fit and finish but i took mine to a guitar shop to get the fretboard leveled and the fretboard on mine curves up at the 12th fret and causes a little buzz but, the action on mine is VERY low

you get what you pay for, a very nice guitar

have not had to deal with jackson

the most popular heavy metal guitar made, not just a stage guitar i can pratice with this guitar (anyone who says this is a stage guitar needs to grow a pair)

bedroom shredder

heavy metal (old school)

Well...I must say at first the puckups sucked. So I replaced them with EMG-Zakk Wylde (ZW) and then it started to sound BETTER...I think that this guitar's sound is good for Heavy Metal & Clean Songs.

Very Good features. But the two volume knobs may cause confusion but it's still ok. The Jackson Tromolo is very good (much better than the STIFF Foyed that was on the previous models). As far as the basic construction it's very good.

Very good Support if you have a warenty

Sound is pretty good for the stock pickups... it does sound pretty mean.

Good features, Floyd Rose is very nice.. a bit too tight. I don't like the two volume knobs, nor thier placement.

The quality of this guitar is amazing... the neck, the action (although a bit low) and actual playability from the left hand perspective is really good. The balance problem continues to bother me, but this is a very high quality built guitar.

for the money, this is one heck of a guitar.

The guitar is a BIG attention getter... more so than my Wolfgang.

This guitar can be used in any kind of music. The duncan Detonator pickups have incredible tone and when used correctly, produce a hard, crunchy, distorted sound.

The features are equal as good. The Flode Rode makes dive bombing possible for great soloing. This Randy Rhoads version has a 3way toggle switch for quick and easy pickup change.

Top quality guitar,i have never had a worry of a problem.

It fells weighty and strong. A well built musical instrument for any price.

This is by far the sexiest guitar i have ever seen and it works with any effect avalible.
