Description

The Jackson RR5 Pro Series is a nod to the legendary Randy Rhoads design, offering musicians a fusion of iconic style and cutting-edge performance. Built for speed and precision, this solidbody electric guitar features a striking "V"-shaped body that's as visually arresting as it is comfortable to play. Whether you're shredding through solos or laying down heavy rhythms, the RR5 delivers with its neck-through-body construction, providing remarkable sustain and resonance.

The RR5's neck is made from hard rock maple, known for its stability and fast playability. It transitions seamlessly into a rosewood fingerboard with a compound radius, ensuring effortless access to all 22 jumbo frets. The dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers are the heart of this beast, delivering powerful output and a versatile tonal palette that commands attention on stage or in the studio.

Finished with gold hardware, including an adjustable JT390 bridge and sealed die-cast tuners, the Jackson RR5 is as reliable as it is eye-catching. The gold "V" tailpiece and MOTO shark fin inlays add the final touches to a guitar that's built to impress. Whether you're a seasoned performer or an aspiring rockstar, the RR5 offers a playing experience that's undeniably Jackson.
