Level impeccable weight, it is neither gadget, nor too heavy, it looks no cot and stays in place.

Its level, it is obtained very easily, unless you too not know the system from position 2 (between the two microphones) which is very effective especially in his clear, THE sound in about 15 sec can be achieved. It's not very difficil enormously out of this guitar sounds GOOD!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it makes about 8 months and it amazes me every day!
Jaime everything about this guitar, I have tried a lot of models before acquiring (Horizon, which also sounds good, PRS tremonti (beubeu ^^), Warlock BC Rich, etc .... and that is that I like THIS skyscraper the +!
Quelit report new price a bit expensive (1400 in Paris), but I got it in OCCAZ 650 then this is perfect !!!
I remake that choice about 20 000 times if I asked!

= Look over hell, His huge plain as saturation, weight, violin, etc ...
less = new price, which is removed by painting plates (small plates eh!), and the tips that tap anywhere if we do not atention, but it's just a matter of attention and do not buy this guitar if it is to yell it abyss, just a little attention and fair gonna nikel!

I bought this beast at the local "Guitar Center." I paid around $1000 with tax.

The SOUND! I'm a big Randy Rhoads fan and WOW! This guitar is good for Heavy Metal and Rock music. Also it has a very thin neck which gives me a better reach and makes it easier to play faster. Finally the nice gold plated hard-ware

The odd shape makes it very difficult if not impossible to play while sitting down. thats about it.

When I first purchased it one of the volume knobs came undone. Which was easy to fix. Other than that everything is perfect.

Overall: I recommend this guitar to anyone. It is fun to play those screaming guitar solo's with this axe!

micro symour duncan sh4 (neck) and TB4 (bridge)
handle end and low action (typically handles Jackson) really enjoyable run through
through tailpiece with tune o matic chevalt
2potard volume
1potard of tone

UTILIZATION

Access to acute beautiful on thanks to the shape of the guitar and neck (mane crossing)
it weighs a feather crazy c
against it by sitting the big galley must take a specially
standing c ur thing it looks for any cot it stays in place
and a handle sleeve ba c jackson prcis fast which I love koi (hey yes I'm a fan Jackon)

SOUNDS

Then the micro seymour duncan sh4 and TB4 are majestically with this guitar as the sound is clear and PRCI slamming as you can have big greasy disto
this guitar is against the big rock Reserved mtal and (we doubt it would be a form)
they are prcis but lacks a lil something so I put that 8

OVERALL OPINION

I put that as the 8 pa tui is provided as seen in the form dan even a good house the horns of the guitar will become damaged if it is beautiful you will try the deu pa.

Beautiful violin
micro symour duncan sh4 (neck) and TB4 (bridge)
handle end and low action (typically handles jackson) neck-through really nice
through tailpiece with tune o matic chevalt
2potard volume
1potard of tone

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice, very easy access to acute (neck-through and shape of the guitar).
Super lightweight.
Using very simple
very easy to play standing up but sat is the big gallery. (We would have suspected given the shape of the guitar)
It looks standing on either side, quickly run (Jackson run)
easy to sweeping and taping as with the riffs.
Super race

SOUNDS

Then the micro seymour duncan sh4 and TB4 are perfect for playing metal (Seymour Duncan koi!)
I've never tried it on my amp but has a shop in Pigalle on a Bandit 112: big fat distortion perfectly to play metal and clear sound not bad but hey, it is not made for that!
I prefer the micro acute for micro serious rhythmic but is doing not bad either!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent value for money, I'll indulge me surment this gutar.
Super sound and magnificent beauty.
Congratulations!

UTILIZATION

Channel HYPER nice, very thin and not wide, access to acute simplissime with a little practice, since the beginning o tjs a little trouble because it is rather to the 22nd pais box, but the shape of the guitar allows Accessibility assistive very easy! this one slip is that of happiness!!
ergonomics, the guitar does not look loose when the handle (eg RX10D, when you release the handle the guitar leans forward) weight too light nor too heavy, this is not a gadget more nn !
One of the industry, this is where we discover why bte Has made: Terrible saturated thanks to its two seymour duncan! its sound is quite clear lens, one must love! vr is that I put 9 because that's clearly not perfect, otherwise use ultra extremely simple, it gets the tt's away!

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music I play because I metal: you can spend big rock to heavy metal without any problems cashing the microphones rather well!
I play with a Hughes & Kettner Vortex, and the sound is perfect o to what I play!
This gives a fat when you put a low bottom, midrange and treble removes presqe has his. Again, the guitar made its Boulo
In his clear, we get a great sound on the mic serious for Balder, and his sharp in treble. celuici tjs a tendency to saturate a bit, but after the expense of the ke tt is seeing!
Jadore tt sounds, I can truly say that this scratching is quite versatile, but tt mm oriented metal cot, it will will probably seen the shape of the guitar!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and I di it's not worth it to 1600 for the model of OCCAZ United States, certainly more perform the RR1 and KV2 Jackson, but I got my RR5 for only 650 (I think I made a deal). The new prices are too high against by the knowledge that you pay the brand name and signature.
Acquerire before, I tried a lot of scratches but only two have remained: the jackson RR5 and ESP Horizon, but have decided jme with the look of the RR5!
Excellent price to quality ratio occazion nine is too expensive, doi argued dan el 1000 o instead of the 1400 (yes the white is more expensive than black)
With experience, I do it again this choice without hesitate

T say everything has previously

UTILIZATION

The handle is very pleasant, fine and fast while remaining pleasing to the riffs, a delight to handle.

access to the treble is simple thanks to the shape, the strap gene from time to time but all depends on your belt

Play sitting is really not a problem malfr everything that is said about his
The form is sublime (for my taste)

The sound is immediately saturated with it's magic.
The clean sound is super hot lorsquon Tone down the love.

SOUNDS

This guitar is very versatile, even if it looks the limit in the metal, but they easily make the good old blues or rock with her: p

I play with a Randall RG 50 TC is the total Panard.
(Well it's still the same scratching the singer of bullet for my valentine 'attention ptdr)
I like everything with the scraper.

OVERALL OPINION

ONE WORD: BEAUTIFUL

Short story: In September 1977, Grover Jackson returns home as Wayne Charvel guitar rparateur. He bought the ailing company in November of the following ANNR continuing the work of Repair Tool and customization of guitars. End of 1980 he met the young Randy Rhoads, 24, and on the rise as a guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne. It will produce a first model inspired by the Gibson Flying V and the following year a more radical wing asymtriques. Jackson Charvel dmarque then productions, inspired by Fender and begins to put his name on some customiss MODELS. The brutal death of Rhoads in a plane crash revives the interest of the guitarists for the MODEL and Jackson is finally launching its first model under the name of SERIES: RR.

Peru good quality and good finish overall. Especially what lgret.

UTILIZATION

Trs enjoyable round, thin, fast and prcis. Access in acute: they will jump on the treble! Ergonomics, guitar VERY balance (for a form type flying V when it is noted even!). Again: what lgret!

SOUNDS

Oh it's heavy. Trsdfini and not elsewhere. A good noise gate with prvoir. For heavy riffs mtal is a joy. For a solo becomes dlicat. The Seymour Duncan do not show trs prcis in the treble, but you prciser aids they are not with the caliber of the strings above the factory montes: it is lightweight when same handicaps and the precision of play
Regardless, this guitar is captivating and his trs trs heavy grows the hair and tattoos eyes.
To Randy Rhoads, what c'tait guitarist with a taste for good guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

Nostalgia when you hold us ... Randy Rhoads died in 82 but his guitar "signature" remain NEWS. A REFERENCE what. Even if this guitar lacks a bit of precision in the treble I got is a real pleasure to play it, and rhythmical catches the ax this small default.

Japan see site

UTILIZATION

Worthy, a Gibson Flying V, everything is perfect

SOUNDS

Well, me and the metal that makes two .... I use it for blues and this amp is used to make all the difference:
st transistor amplifiers to ban except for its metal
the tube amps get a treat: I play on a Bugera 333 which I immediately changed the lamp for RCA NOS (new old stock) for 60 years and there was the sound you want

OVERALL OPINION

I recently needed a break like any microphones Seymour
It is very expensive in the normal price, thankfully, affordable ss import taxes subject to which I escaped
Note that the RR3 is much cheaper with Seymour "designed" made in Japan and the difference is not noticeable in use studio (I do not stage)
Gibson Flying V Jackson RR5 or it will depend on the use and reclamation Seymour with the tps ... it is certain that the wiring / capacitors / resistors Ceramic Gibson is the top ... I change all hifi cables for silver and gold plated tubes and tissue is the day and night

The RR5 is a good midlevel guitar in the RR line. Randy Rhodes was an iconic guitar player for many people and the RR series of guitars is a lasting tribute to him. The RR5 is pretty close to what he last played. It has some high end features of the RR1 with some simple features that increase simplicity and reliabilty. The RR5 has an alder body with a neck though maple neck. The guitar is a hard tail so you get 6 normal tuners up top and a tune-o-matic bridge. The bridge has a string through stop tail that increases sustain. The pickups are a classic set of Seymour Duncans. The bridge pickup is a Duncan JB with a Duncan Jazz in the neck position. The controls are pretty typical with two volumes and a master tone with a 3 way toggle.

UTILIZATION

The playability is pretty good and is increased by the hard tail setup. Upper fret access is pretty decent. Only having 22 frets helps this because the V shape is pretty broad and with 24 frets they may get hard to reach. The rosewood fretboard feels good under your fingers. The neck through design means there is no heel so that is good too. Jacksons at these levels come with compound radius necks. This means that on the higher frets the radius is flatter making it easy to bend but on the low frets its more curved making chords more comfortable. The hardtail bridge means you have excellent tuning stability and the string through hard tail increases sustain.

SOUNDS

The alder body with the maple neck give you the classic shred guitar tone. Not many companies put after market pickups in their guitars but Jackson does. Jackson knows if you are paying more than 1000 dollars for a guitar you should not have to change the pickups right after you get it. The JB and the Jazz is a good set if you are playing heavier music. The JB is a great bridge pickup when combined with the right wood guitar. In a mahogany guitar like this it is perfect. The low end is tight but not djent tight. It has a nice about of sag to it. It has good midrange and high end to it. It cuts really well and does not get muddy. The Jazz in the neck is clear and tight. The Jazz is like a more modern sounding 59 pickup. It is as smooth as the 59 but it has a bit more top end so it so it does not get as muddy as the 59 when you are playing with high gain. The sound matches the classic metal vibe of this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

If you are looking for a Jackson RR but dont like tremolos this is a great deal. RR1T's are pretty rare and cost just as much as a normal RR1. This guitar has all the same features of an RR1T for like 1/2 the price. This guitar has great aftermarket pickups and great Jackson playability. What more could you need.
