Jackson Guitars Rhoads RR1A LTD Pro Plus Pure Metal EBO Satin Black

A Rhoads Designed for Modern Metal, in the "Pure Metal" Spirit

A true visual signature of Jackson, the Rhoads shape is inseparable from metal performance: sharp lines, ergonomics designed for lead playing, and immediate stage presence. This Pro Plus Pure Metal Limited Edition RR1A embraces a decidedly modern approach with its satin finish, gray binding, and black hardware, while retaining Jackson's DNA: efficient craftsmanship ready to withstand rehearsals and high-volume concerts.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want a straightforward riff and solo machine. Its deliberately direct configuration (single volume control) emphasizes touch, gain management, and right-hand dynamics. It excels in heavy metal, hard rock, shred, and prog, wherever attack, clarity, and vibrato accuracy are priorities.

Sound Characteristics

The combination of poplar (body), maple (neck-through), and ebony (fingerboard) delivers a fast and clear tone: sharp attack, sustained lows, and precise highs, with excellent articulation on palm mutes and fast runs. The Bare Knuckle Holy Diver bridge pickup provides a powerful, focused character, very effective at highlighting harmonics and maintaining definition under saturation. The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series contributes to a "tight" and stable playing feel, ideal for pronounced vibrato effects while preserving solid sustain thanks to its double-locking design.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, use a set of nickel-plated electric strings in .009-.042 gauge (matching the factory-installed gauge) to maintain the Floyd Rose 1000 Series balance. A standard guitar strap and a guitar stand are also suitable for daily use, with the Jackson gig bag already included for transport.
