Theres only one Jackson. no need to say more.
Sound
One of the best crafted imports by far. A binded body, neck and ebony fretboard would be the only upgrade and those are found on the RR1, so for the money you can't beat it. A 10 on a 10 scale.
Features
Guitars dont usually come with accesories but it come with a brand new SKB case which really is an upgrade now-a-days.
Ease of Use
Seymour Duncan pickups are some of the best sounding for this instrument.You really have to be a "certain" player to play a Flying V. They feel and sit differently than any other guitar. This V is a little lighter in weight and more balanced than the 1980's models.
Quality
Jackson quality all the way even though Fender owns it.
Value
Its comparable to similar high quality imports in ways. Pricing is one.I happen to get a very nice deal.
Manufacturer Support
I have been to the factory and know these people stand behind there guitars plus, I have never had a problem with one.
The Wow Factor
The RR V line is one-of-kind and is the original off-set, shark-fin design by Grover Jackson and Randy Rhoads. Theres iconic rock guitar history right in your face!
