Ferocious Styling with Active Pickups

The Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 solidbody electric guitar is loaded with performance and built for speed. Experience searing, fluid leads with a warm, articulate tone, thanks to Seymour Duncan active humbuckers. Enjoy everlasting sustain, courtesy of a through-body maple neck. And a compound-radius fingerboard encourages lightning-fast playing. A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo provides the perfect platform for whammy effects and dive-bombing. The Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 solidbody electric guitar features gold hardware for an attention-grabbing appearance.

Compound-radius fingerboard provides the best of both worlds

The Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 sports a compound-radius rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12" radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16" radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out. The best of both worlds.

Maple neck and Floyd Rose tremolo offer prodigious sustain

From bow to stern, the Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 is set up for mammoth sustain. You get a through-body maple neck — a proven sustain-enhancing construction method — and a Floyd Rose double-locking 2-point tremolo. Top that off with two ferocious active Seymour Duncan humbuckers, and you've got a recipe for detailed vibrato expressiveness — with rock-solid tuning stability and endless sustain.

Classic style yields an aggressively modern appearance

If you're after a guitar that looks as mean as it sounds, Sweetwater has your axe. The body shape alone is enough to convey instant attitude. Throw in Jackson's distinctive pointy headstock and shark fin position inlays, and you have one arresting-looking guitar. The Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 is one of the sharpest-looking guitars around: a serious axe-wielder's instrument of destruction. Exactly what you've been looking for!

Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Solidbody electric guitar with aggressive "V" design
  • Active Seymour Duncan blackout humbuckers deliver searing, fluid leads with a warm, articulate tone
  • Through-body maple neck provides incredible sustain
  • 12"–16" compound-radius fingerboard yields ultra-fast playability
  • Gold hardware for an attention-grabbing appearance
  • Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo for twisting, bending, and dive-bombing

Wow!

So to start my only "complaint(s)" are 2 things
The string it comes with are ehh… cheap! And the Allen keys don't work on anything in the guitar.
Now that that's outa the way, this Guitar plays amazing!!! My equipment I play through is a Marshall Origin 20 (head) and a crate 4X12 cab. My distortion I'm using are Boss DS-1, Boss super overdrive, Boss ML-2 Metal Core (must try!!) and Boss Digital Delay! No compression or modulation and I get Zero (0) sound out of my pickups(very quiet) also the DS-1 with active pickups sounds very "Glam Metal" sounding along with super Overdrive it just sounds very "chain-saw-ish" awesome for the Rhoads sound (imop).
Overall with a setup with Sweetwater (if you don't want to do it yourself) and a set of Dunlop 10-48 heavy core strings! You got yourself a Mean Machine that's wanting to Scream!!!
Oh side Note: the Floyd is no problems! If you take the time to set it up or have Sweetwater do it, it dive bombs and does all Floyd's do and returns to pitch.
Rated 4.5/5

Really awesome Guitar✨

Okay 4.5 stars for these 2 reasons. The string it comes with are not great! (Playable but not great) and my other is Allen-keys; none of them fit anything on the Guitar.
Now for the Bad to the Bone Axe! This thing Screams! After I put a set up "Heavy-Core" Dunlop 10-48 Stings this Guitar is like a paint Brush with a White Canvas ready to paint your Sick sounds and Thundering Leads!
This may not be a "pro-grade" Axe But it's not terrible either. This is a neck-through body that resonates really well and the playability is second to None!
The Neck is "thin" but wide too have a "U" feel to it, so it's awesome for scales and Legato type stuff but because it's compound radius it plays open Chords very comfortably.
Buy it!! If you want a Rhoad's this is a good choice.

Satin

To begin with the associates from Sweetwater are top notch. They answered all my questions and delivered on time. Yay! Adding to that, it was ready to play straight out of the box.

The V.. I've always preferred them and Ofcourse Jackson has always been my favorite -I've owned 3. It goes without saying the Floyd Rose lives up to its reputation as well and the SD pickups clearly shred. If you're looking to get your first, this is it to be sure -I mean you just lay your fingers on the strings (no muscles required) and can go for days.

A Legendary introduction to Jackson!

I've always wanted a High performance offset V-styled guitar since I was about 10. Countless thrash metal icons sport these bad bois. Or have before at least. I used to use the free time in middle school online to build & look at them all online back when they introduced the X series. I was scared it would be a cheap gimmick. Do not let the basswood or Rosewood deter you. Ebony would be too boring. Basswood makes it feel lightweight and efficient. The neck through and pickups are doing all the important work here for you. Floyd rose is meh.. Fun ig. Love the gold! This has to be the best looking black and gold guitar I've ever seen.. no disrespect to the 3 star. But this is definitely at least 5 star value at this price. It is not only one of the best do-everything metal blackjack of all trades in this price range. It's a memento to what made me love heavy music and all genres that use distorted anything. They really nailed this one. The Seymour duncans have a much more satisfying chug than the EMG 81s on my ESP EC-401fm. It is comparable to USA built 4k priced guitars. This is the American dream being properly executed. Much love, Jackson. And Sweetwater. For letting me pay for this in such adaptable methods!
Rated 5/5

I was not really expecting much ,but jackson did not miss on this one, a great guitar. Ordered it without anything being done to it except there 55 point check up set up a little higher then I usually have mine but very good came in tune ,no major quality concerns as some have said great guitar I can't say this enough maybe I got lucky but I can't say their are any negative things about it for me looks amazing with the gold hardware .Get it while you can because they may go fast .
