Jackson RR3 Randy Rhoads Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
Based on the design of Randy Rhoads' classic V, this guitar features an Alder body with a Flame Maple top and comes packed with Floyd Rose Double Locking tremolo.

The Jackson Pro RR3 Randy Rhoads model has its roots in the very early days at Jackson. The late, great Randy Rhoads approached them with a design idea based on the classic "V". Together they created a whole new rock and roll icon. This version features an Alder body with a Flame Maple veneer top (on transparent finishes), Seymour Duncan humbuckers, a 25.5 in. scale bolt-on Maple neck and a compound radius Rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets. Also, black hardware including a Jackson Low Profile double locking tremolo. Made in Japan.

Overall, this is an amazing guitar. If it was good enough for Randy Rhoads (even though he didn't live to see it's production), it's good enough for anyone.
Sound
This thing sounds AMAZING! It has awsome sound out of any amp, even a little 10 watt practice amp.
Features
A double locking Floyd Rose-lisenced trem and ACTUAL Seymore Duncan pickups (not Duncan Designed) make it my favorite out of my guitars. The crimson swirl paint job is breath taking. I get so many compliments for it, it's crazy as hell!
Ease of Use
It plays really smooth and feels nice. The ONLY downside of the entire guitar is that it's body shape makes it hard to play when you're sitting.
Quality
The pickups are amazing, the trem works beautifully, and it just overall kicks ass.
Value
For all the stuff on it and the price i paid for it, it was worth every cent!
