"A Rhodes icon..."

Feature:
I love the simplicity of this axe. One volume knob and the pickup selector is all I need. The tremolo on this guitar is one of the best I have used and staying in tune while diving low is no worry. The only feature I would add to this product would be to have a 24 fret neck as opposed to the shortened 22 frets, but this is not a necessity to thrash on this thing. The biggest thing I would change is the Duncan designed pups as I am planning to throw in some passive EMGs pretty soon to give it some added umph.

Quality:
This is an incredible piece of work. The polka dot finish on this thing screams look at me and although the body design differs from the original rhodes classic v, its shape adds a modern look to a classic. Other than a loose volume knob that fell off in the box upon delivery, this is an excellent guitar in this price range.

Value:
Although this is one of my favorite guitars, I do feel that this guitar is a bit pricey and should fall in the $300-400 price range; however, I feel that I am getting the best for what I have spent.

Desirability:
It is a definite attention getter and one of the best since the Les Paul Bullseye and Buzzsaw were released. This axe screams for attention.

Sound:
The mid-range sound quality is in line with the mid-range pricing. Both pups are kinda muddy; however, the harmonics are pretty decent. The pups have a good bluesy tone and are good for southern rock; however, if you want more british or modern metal sounding tones a pup upgrade is needed.

Ease of Use:
Even with the stock pups, you can still shred and get some decent harmonics out of this axe. The lack of tone knobs doesn't cause me to shed any tears as I normally turn mine all the way up and leave them there, adjusting the tone from the amp interface.

Support:
I only rate the support a 10 because the product was good enough that I haven't had to contact support.

Overall:
This axe has become a permanent player in my stable and I would definitely replace if lost or stolen. Although I am a Les Paul man all the way, this should be an item any serious player should consider.

Jackson RX10D Rhoads Customer Review

Feature:
Maybe i rated this a little high, but it has a liscensed floyd rose, 3 way switch and a volume control......but that's all this guitar needs.

Quality:
I got a satin black model and it's had a few bangs. The long spike has had a bit of the finish taken off on the corner, but a little black nail varnish covers it. The floyd rose was pretty poor when using 9 gauge strings, but with 10's it works perfectly. You keep having to tighten the volume knob and the jack input but hey. The screws in the bridge and locking nut are pretty poor. The locking nut ones broke and i replaced the nut which hasn't let me down. The machine heads are good as is the quality of the neck and body.

Value:
With a bit extra spent on a better nut and pickups this guitar is awesome and would still be at a price you can pay for a guitar which is still pretty average. It's priced about right.

Desirability:
What can you say, this guitar is as sexy as it gets. The satin black is just to die for.

Sound:
For the price, the sound is great. The neck pickup is incredibly smooth for lead playing, both pickups have a very high output, lacks presence though. I changed the pickups to Duncans SH-4 JB on the bridge and a SH-1n on the neck and it sounds awesome. Just put it through a marshall, leave the EQ flat and this thing sings. Not for anyone who plays a lot of clean guitar.......but if you do....why are you looking at a Randy Rhoads V?

Ease of Use:
It took a little while to get used to it but once i did, it was like a dream, this guitar is so easy to play, it suits my playing style perfectly (Heavy rock, metal). It's also incredibly light and perfectly balanced (no neck dives when you let go). I've got some higher priced instruments (Mavericks, BC Rich's etc) but this eclipses them all in terms of playability.

Support:
don't know, never used them

Overall:
With a bit of work this is a great guitar. with no added work it's still good. I've got a number of guitars and have used many others in a similar and higher price band and i've decided that if i were to get another electric it would be another one of these.
