The Jackson RRT-5 Pro Series Rhoads electric guitar is a modern tribute to the legendary Randy Rhoads, designed for metal players who demand aggressive tone and striking aesthetics. Finished in classic Gloss Black with a contrasting gold pickguard and hardware, this V-shaped axe combines iconic style with high-performance features that deliver both visual impact and sonic power.
Built around a solid mahogany body, the RRT-5 features a graphite-reinforced, neck-through-body maple neck with a scarf joint, offering exceptional stability and sustain. The ultra-smooth oiled back finish ensures comfortable playability, while the bound ebony fingerboard with a 12″-16″ compound radius and 22 jumbo frets allows for fast, precise fretting and effortless bends. Pearloid sharkfin inlays add a classic Jackson touch to the fingerboard.
Equipped with a matched pair of Seymour Duncan® Distortion humbucking pickups, this guitar delivers a high-output, balanced tone that excels in both pristine cleans and snarling distortion. The three-way toggle switch offers versatile pickup combinations, while the Jackson® TOM-style bridge with an anchored tailpiece provides excellent tuning stability and precise intonation. Whether you’re shredding leads or chugging heavy riffs, the RRT-5 is built to perform at the highest level.
With its combination of premium tonewoods, professional-grade electronics, and eye-catching aesthetics, the Jackson RRT-5 Pro Series Rhoads is a formidable instrument for metal guitarists seeking both style and substance.
Neck-Through-Body Construction with Graphite Reinforcement
The neck-through-body design enhances sustain and stability, while graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint improve durability and resistance to warping. This construction ensures the guitar stays in tune and maintains its tone even under heavy playing conditions.
Seymour Duncan® Distortion Humbucking Pickups
Chosen for their aggressive, high-output sound, these pickups provide a powerful, balanced tone that cuts through the mix. Perfect for metal and hard rock, they deliver both tight, clear cleans and ferocious distortion with exceptional clarity.
Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard
The 12″-16″ compound radius fingerboard offers a smooth transition from comfortable chording near the nut to fast, precise soloing higher up the neck. Ebony wood adds brightness and snap to the tone, complementing the guitar’s overall aggressive voice.
Classic Gloss Black Finish with Gold Hardware
The striking Gloss Black body paired with a gold pickguard and hardware creates a bold, eye-catching look that honours the iconic Rhoads design while standing out on stage. This combination of colours adds a touch of elegance to the guitar’s aggressive shape.
