Jackson's RRTMG Pro Rhoads is an updated interpretation of Randy Rhoads' iconic V-shaped guitar. With EMG active pickups and a neck-through design for maximum sustain, the RRTMG flies the metal legend's banner into the arena of modern metal.

The Neck to Shred Like Randy

As a tribute to one of rock guitar's greatest innovators, the RRTMG is unquestionably built for speed. The maple neck is capped with an ebony fretboard that has a compound radius, expanding from 12" to 16" as you move up the neck. This provides a slightly thicker profile at the low frets for easier rhythm playing, and a flatter profile higher up the neck to accommodate string bending and speed runs. The neck is set in through the body and graphite-reinforced for added sustain.

Updated Active Pickups for Today's Players

The RRTMG takes the unmistakable Randy Rhoads guitar body style, and modernizes its sound with new pickups. This time, Jackson opted for an active sound, dropping an EMG 81 pickup in the bridge slot and an EMG 89 in the neck. This is a proven pickup combination for metal and hard rock players who want clear sounds, even as they turn up the gain into buzz-saw territory. You'll have no problem shredding cleanly with the RRTMG Pro Rhoads' fat neck lead tones, or laying down heavy rhythms through the bridge pickup. Both pickups are direct-mounted to the body for tones that sound raw and alive.

Dressed To Kill

The flat black-and-gray color scheme of the RRTMG may seem like a no-frills read more approach to design, but this Rhoads signature axe features several components players will appreciate. The Tune-O-Matic tailpiece not only boasts a dramatic swooping V design, but runs the strings through the body to bolster the guitar's sustain. The Dunlop StrapLok system will save your audience from being impaled when you can't resist the urge to swing the RRTMG like the true metal god you are.
