All user reviews of 3/5 for the Jackson Pro Randy Rhoads RR3 (Before 2006)

Pro model japan
22 jumbo frets
microphones H / H Seymour Duncan TB4 (bridge) SH-2 (sleeve)
Floyd Rose Licensed
3 knobs (2 volume 1 tone) a 3-way selector
handle vissbr />
Score: 5, 22 for freight (no ass for a solo in my opinion) the licensed floyd specially not reliable when it comes to save the tuning and Bolt (that trs heavy in the treble that even when feasible)

UTILIZATION

Overall the handle is comfortable / fast freight although more or less on trend poses you rcurer the thumb of the indoor moderately enjoyable way>: <(

Access in acute is more or less suitable dpendant matrise your instrument in the execution of technical solos, pure shred of anything is a neck-and possibly screwed way ibanez rg . The personal, the heel makes me srieusement the head>

lgre the rr3 is like a feather, level ergonomics unlike ides received it is much easier to play sitting (a horse on one thigh) and standing in the latter case because she got a serious tendency to pitch nose, not excessively, but when even

get a good sound of the still dpend derrire stuff you have, but overall with microphones origins and basic transistor amplifier gives a big fat sound and thundering on versatility.

Score: 4, I will change is not for nothing

SOUNDS

I play any style of metal and it is true that Randy Rhoads is almost the ultimate metal guitar, the Randy Rhoads yes, not specially rr3 not. I recommend the above range ...

I changed the original microphone config H / H for the EMG 81 (bridge) and I must say that I did well: ca m'vitera to repeat the same mistake I lost all hihi versatility (0 absolute versatility) and the time I need to find a t rglage multiply by ... long for rsultat not forcment mieu than that obtained with the microphones origins dcidment trs good. (Be able to sustain mieu also: /)

NOTE: 8, 8 even when I put becaufe even if I am not satisfied with the MOI mdifs I even bring the big sound that chih mom is not a myth associated Randy Rhoads was the error, if you play only the metal in any case: it is a pure killing that will bring a sound and solid edge (the palm muting is joussif scratches on this) even RACORD a transistor amplifier 3 watts =]

OVERALL OPINION

I use the guitar as main rr3 for over a year, when Cal j'crit is a horse in my arms on my thigh and I must say that it hurts me to tell you that she has only weeks to live (at home anyway) before being replaced (by a LTD KH-602)

I am sad, because it really is a guitar that I love for its looks (I vnre and I'll miss the point that I can tell you that I buy some another rr later) and a big sound that never fails in more than one year of good and loyal service.

However, it has flaws which I can not m'accomod (the 22 boxes, the handle screwed on licensed floyd is a monumental crap ...)

With the experience I would do the same no choice, but it's a bit easy to say because my game has absolutely impresionante evolve since I bought it.

In the era with my level of false beginners / intermediate this guitar a silent gem that share prices will please report any quality apprentices metalheads who want to have a scratch of the mouth and sends ... APRS I would advise apprentices satriani another guitar or a model of the range gear-board suprieur with more reliable and a better finish.

NOTE: I can not give an overall score is something that is priceless lol (I learned all about this guitar so ...) but if I really had no choice I would have put 5; )

In which country was it made? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Japan

How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
22 frets (I think sufficient), and TB4 Humbucker Pickups SH2 (for the price the pickups are fine but personal to the guitar instead of a TB4 I saw a better SH4 and SH6 but it would have pushed the hair price)

What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
Licensed floyd bridge jackson I find mediocre! Its easily loosens and the bridge back not quite to its original position. So his tune, slightly true, but it&#39;s audible but not great.

What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
A volume knob for each pickup
A tone
A three-position switch Bridge / Neck & Bridge / Neck (could not be more simple)

What type of race?
Rosewood handle "screwed" ( <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_cry.gif" alt="" /> )
Clearly, the harmonics absorbed, but a quick touch! This guitar is really made for speed metal beginner to acquire the level while turning in ptits coffee with his group of province.

rating: 6 / 10

UTILIZATION

The handle is it fun?
My word it is, it seemed my broad, rounded the first time I&#39;ve had it in hand (although I have known large curved sleeves <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> hehe) that said you get used much, despite the heel that is the end of the handle that can alienate shredders

Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
He is careful but it is obvious I speak for guitar of this form! This is done without too much trouble, I&#39;m not hard, you get there much but compared to the form of a stratocaster is necessarily different

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
Level is relatively light weight, which I have seen look quite shocked. In fact I Croy more bulky compared to the impression given me the photos.
It stings a little nose, after sitting will make you hold your guitar differently (one leg) and you will discover new sensations hehe

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
Good sound ...
I would say it sounds too too bad, the choice of wood (alder) is a good idea with these microphones is not too cold last sound that says it all depends on your amp huh.

SOUNDS

They are suitable to your style of music?
I play metal so yes it fits my style in general, after I play hardcore / deathcore a tuning very serious and there should not ca me anymore (at microphone). They have trouble keeping up, they drool below the Drop D and seriously after the drop C. A drop then I use you even imagine!

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I have a Randall RG50 Combo ( <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_cry.gif" alt="" /> I still wonder why) and a visual sound pedal

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
In his fiddling get a good clean! not too runny, slightly sharp and hot in chimaira (I am not good eh)
Still we play at home the Lamb of God which goes divinely with these microphones

What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

Inevitably it is the distortion, the are pretty clear retransmit without being extraordinary
All it says is correct as long as we do not leave trails, and we play Metallica and Company
Forgotten Carnifex, Suicide Silence or BMTH

rating: 6 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
1 year and a half already

What is so special that you like most and least?
What I like most is his size, lightweight and fast once you understand how to use it well
What I like least, the microphones too restrictive on the panel&#39;s

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Rather yes, Ibanez, LTD, Dean I have tried many, but at the time I tripotté the low end because I wanted a new guitar but I had no money, then I would buy an EX-50 LTD from home and I had come into some money a week before going to the store and there I tested the RR3 who had at the time immediately filled (I was at way into trivium and for me, heavy metal y&#39;avais it real) So between RR3 and Ex-50&#39;s on you see the difference! That made my purchase! Then passing the years and inevitably you change your application too!

How would you rate the quality / price?
The value for money is generally rather good! Not great but it will

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
With the exprérience no I do not have that choice would do. Not that the hardware is bad but my requests are different from before. I think this guitar is very suitable for the average budget of wanting to play Trivium, Metallica, Bullet For My Valentine, Still Remains, Judas Priest, Lamb of God and others that use tunings vicinity.

But when you want to do in the heavy, go your way and head to a seven-string baritone or if you have the utility
