Pro Series Rhoads RRT-5
(Gloss Black)

Legendary Rhoads Series!The Jackson Pro Series Rhoads guitars are a continuation of the legacy created by the legendary Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads. Since then Metal has developed to require a more aggressive and hotter tone than ever before, whilst needing to maintain a distinct level of clarity. The Pro Series RRT-5 comes in a classic Gloss Black finish with a gold pickguard and gold hardware in the legendary Rhoads V body shape.
This iconic metal axe has premium features and components such as a mahogany body, graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint and ultra-smooth oiled back finish. Its bound 12”-16” ebony fingerboard hosts 22 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays.

Premium Pro Series Features!

Seymour Duncan Distortion PickupsThe RRT-5 features the popular Seymour Duncan® Distortion humbucking pickups which has a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver well-balanced rock and metal tones that have rich upper midrange harmonic content, perfect for what this guitar was made for.
These pickups run fairly hot, giving you the high-output sound you need to get the singing lead tones and crunchy rhythms, they also clean up well for smooth, glossy solos under high gain distortion. The mahogany body and neck-thru construction also provide for a sonically rich tone with great sustain.
The pickups come mounted directly to the body to make for improved resonance and vibration transfer, giving your tone even more punch and sustain. The RRT-5 also features three-way toggle pickup switching and a Jackson® compensated and adjustable TOM-style bridge with anchored tailpiece.
