Set the stage with the Jackson RRXMG Rhoads electric guitar -- the instrument of choice for any metal enthusiast looking for a solid axe that won't break the bank. With an asymmetric Rhoads-style basswood body, sturdy neck-through-body construction with graphite reinforcement, 24 frets, EMG pickups, and a Floyd Rose in the bridge, the RRXMG is equipped to grind.

Neck-Through-Body Design with Metal in Mind

Jackson's RRXMG Rhoads guitar has everything a headbanger could ask for. With a neck-through-body design and premium tonewood materials, the RRXMG offers great sustain and robustness at the same time. It has a bound compound-radius fingerboard that's rounder near the nut for fingering chords and flattens out as you move to higher octaves for soloing. The 3-piece maple neck is even reinforced with graphite, so it's sure to stay true as you shred up and down this axe's 24 jumbo frets.

Heavy Metal Hardware and Active EMG Pickups

From the bridge to the pickups, the RRXMG's hardware is well suited for metal too. It's got a genuine Floyd Rose tremolo in the bridge for screeching highs and halting drops. EMG's humbucking pickups provide clean to crunchy sounds and everything in between. And since these pickups are active, voicing will be clear regardless of pickup/tone configuration, and drop tunings will ring loud too -- not muddled and faint as is often the case with passive pickups.

Jackson RRXMG Rhoads Electric Guitar

The Jackson RRXMG Rhoads is loaded with purebred Jackson DNA: neck-through-body construction, hot humbucking pickups, bound compound-radius fingerboards, distinctive shark-fin inlays, and stunning finishes. This guitar is imbued with the X factor, a fantastic tone, fast playability, and is an unbelievable value for 21st century guitarists.

The Jackson Rhoads RRXMG has a basswood body, through-body maple neck and active EMG(r) 85 (neck) and 81 (bridge) humbucking pickups that deliver well-balanced tone with tight bass, glassy mids and crunching highs. Its bound compound-radius rosewood fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. Other features include Floyd Rose(r) Special double-locking two-point tremolo, 24 jumbo frets and three-way pickup switching.

I bought this guitar as a backup to my Jackson rr24. This thing is sleek, and plays like butter. Have it professionally setup and you will make it your main axe. The only thing I have done to this thing is add a Floyd upgrades big block and a brass claw. This thing has become my main guitar for standard tuning and the rr24 is now my e flat guitar.
