An American Series Rhoads: the metal icon in a premium version

The Rhoads is a cult silhouette, designed for performance and visual impact. With the American Series Rhoads RR24 HT, Jackson takes the concept to a decidedly high-end approach: component selection, sustain-oriented luthiery and modern playability, and a construction built to handle heavy tunings and high gain levels. The result: a Rhoads with brutal character but surgical precision.

Who is it for, and what styles?

This electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a fast-playing machine (shred, modern metal, hard rock, thrash). Its Speed Neck profile and jumbo stainless steel frets favor attack, legato, and controlled vibrato. The fixed bridge is a real plus for those who alternate between drop tunings, alternate tunings, and string gauge changes without losing stability.

Sound

The alder body provides a balanced and responsive foundation, with present mids and good definition, perfect for cutting through a saturated mix. Sustain-oriented luthiery (3-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement) enhances note sustain and attack precision. On the electronics side, the Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge pickup delivers dense, incisive saturation, ideal for tight palm mutes and cutting riffs, while the Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N neck pickup offers a more open and expressive clarity for leads, arpeggios, and harmonies. Everything remains simple and effective thanks to the 3-position blade selector and volume/tone controls.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a Jackson padded gig bag, ideal for daily transport and protection. Nickel-plated steel strings in 9-42 gauge are included from the factory: an excellent starting point to maintain the feel and setup balance as designed out of the box.
