A very beat down CS Rhoads introduced in a Finnish music magazine 'Rumba'. Very similar to his main axe from '87 custom shop, just with a single coil neck pickup, tone control and a pickup switch, 24 frets instead of 22, scalloped last four frets and a sanded down neck.
Includes Jackson JE-1000 active electronics that provides 12 dB boost that drives any amp to distortion. He says that the tone control is basically redundant (since he played a lot of RR's with only bridge pickup and single volume control).
He also mentions in the notes of the picture that his first guitar with Floyd Rose floating bridge was a Kramer Baretta and he's been a Floyd guy ever since.
He points out that at the time of the article, he was playing in Eb standard tuning, which was what his band Stone played in (must have been around '90 or '91 since Stone switched to that tuning for 'Colours' album and kept it on Emotional Playgrounds album). The strings he used were a set of .12-.54.
The serial number is very hard to see in the photo to identify the guitar exactly from Jackson Custom Shop logs (Jackson Guitar Palace website has some logs inlcuding Roope's sold RR2073 and the one made in the same order for Jiri Jalkanen, RR2074 the white beveled Rhoads with the same specs, that he later sold to Alexi Laiho), but there's no certainty of this one. Latvala said on a video he's been playing this one for 15 years already.
This guitar can be seen on the video from a Finnish guitar clinic in Lahti in 2001, where Latvala and Laiho play some Sinergy and Stone, Children of Bodom and Ozzy Osbourne songs and promote the RR/LL "signature" custom order run to Jackson by Musamaailma. 51 guitars were made only for Finnish market and had vaguely similar specs than the infamours custom shop black and yellow RR's of Latvala and Laiho.
In a live performance image, Marek Pajak is seen playing a custom Jackson RR Custom Shop guitar. This particular custom model is distinct for its non-standard configuration, featuring 24 frets, a Floyd Rose tremolo system, a double coil humbucker at the bridge, and a single coil pickup at the neck. The image serves as visual proof of Pajak's use of this specific guitar.
Resembling the modern RR24 FR H, this Jackson RR with white pinstripes and gold hardware was owned by Jiri. He bought it around 1989. Later in 1997, struggling with addiction, Jiri sold this guitar to a local guitar shop where it was then purchased by Alexi Laiho from Children Of Bodom
