Jackson Concept Series Rhoads RR24 LTD: The Flying V Reimagined
Few guitar shapes carry as much weight as the Jackson Rhoads. Since its 1980 debut as Randy Rhoads’ signature model, the flying V silhouette has become synonymous with metal excellence. The Jackson Concept Series Rhoads RR24 LTD at $1,999 brings that legacy into modern times with Custom Shop craftsmanship.
Who Is It For?
Metal and hard rock players who demand iconic looks and modern playability. This is built for touring musicians and serious collectors.
The Compound Radius Advantage
The 12″-16″ compound radius is a game-changer. Open E chord feels natural. High-fret shredding feels responsive. It’s a subtle but profound difference.
Stainless Steel Frets on a Metal Guitar
For metal playing, stainless steel frets are essential. They deliver bright attack and resist bending wear from aggressive playing.
First Impressions
The visual impact is immediate. That iconic sharp body shape commands attention. The stainless frets feel crisp. The compound radius adjusts seamlessly to your playing.
