The personal choice of guitar hero Randy Rhoads, the legendary Jackson Rhoads model guitar has been electrifying audiences for years!

From Jackson's professional-level Pro Series, the RR3 is about as close as you can get to Randy's guitar! It doesn't just look great, it also delivers the great tone that has made Jackson Guitars a modern hard rock legend. The RR3 gets its punchy tone from a solid Alder body equipped with 2 hard-rockin' Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups. It also features 22 jumbo frets for easy playability, and a double-locking tremolo (just the way Randy would've wanted it!)

This guitar shreds harder than a gothic les paul a warrior and just as good if not better than a KV2 so for the money you pay for it this guitar is balls out.

Features: The guitar is an amazing guitar. It only has 22 frets but hey you can use the wood at the end of the neck for 23. I did replace my bridge pickup with a Semour Duncan SH-13 Dimebucker and it just screams like i've never heard and thats amazing.

Playability: The neck makes the guitar feel so soft and fast. And the body doesnt hold you up from just completely sherrding. It's so easy to play but sounds so professional.

Sound: I use this guitar outta a Marshall Mg100hdfx w/ a marshall mg 412 cab and it sounds so perrty when its clean and as soon as you hit the distortion you tear peoples ear drums apart. Live on stage i was just sherrdin and there were mosh pits everywere so it must have been an amazing sound to do that.

Durability: I use this guitar every gig i can, i use my jackson warrior wrxt for r intor just b/c i need 24 frets but beside that i use the RR3 for everything else it never let me down yet. It sounds so good. Althought on the tremolo the part u screw ur bar into came loose on mine but its an easy fix.

Really awesome choice if you don't have enough money to buy RR1. If this would be stolen I probably would buy this again, oh hell, of course I would buy it again.

You get yourself perfect guitar if you change those hums and maybe those other electronics too. KILL-switch would be nice but without that, those volymes sucks.

Features: This model is made in Japan but it's really good. Like much better than PS3 witch is made in Japan too. It has 22 frets and two Seymour Desing 103 humbuckers. Controls goes like volyme, volyme, tone and 3way toggle. This is only bad thing in this guitar. When there is 2 volymes you have to play with them more than normal.

Playability: There's really nothing special in playability of this guitar. It is not the best but it definitely isn't the worst either. I think that only RR1 is better in this area.

Sound: Cause of the Duncan Desingns it does not sound really good. Of course they are better than Jackson's own hums but I would prefer that you would change its humbuckers if you want true quality. Like Seymour Duncan's Invader or Live Wire Metal if you play metal that you probably do if you buy this guitar. I play with Laney TF350 (120w) and it sound fine with it. Much better than my old Charvel.

Durability: I always use this one on gigs. It's trustable enough that you won't have to fear that it would broke up or anything. Of course, strings are still those witch might so that. Locks work well and you can do 2 x full bend without any adjusting after.
