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.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
