Up for sale, a 2000 Jackson Stars Randy Rhoads model RR-J2 in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, sporting a rare custom color White/Black “Tuxedo”-style gloss finish. An uncommon Japanese domestic market series, the Jackson Stars instruments are the direct descendants of the Grover Jackson line, expertly crafted at the Chu Shin factory. Originally commissioned by the late, great Randy Rhoads, his namesake guitar was actually the first Jackson made, with an unmistakable aggressive V body shape. The Rhoads V gained a following in hard rock circles soon after production began in the early 1980s, and has been played by such luminaries as Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Megadeth's Marty Friedman, and Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, among many others.

Featuring neck through maple construction with alder body wings and a 24 fret rosewood fingerboard, this Jackson has an immediate, articulate acoustic tone. The Seymour Duncan humbuckers comprise the original TB-5 at the bridge and a replacement SH-2 Jazz at the neck: The TB-5 Custom Trembucker at the bridge has an aggressive, focused midrange, potent treble attack, and exceptional sustain, perfect for screaming solos. The SH-2 Jazz at the neck features an AlNiCo V bar magnet and special coil wind, delivering a glassy treble response and full, tight bass, with scooped mids for optimal clarity even under high gain or high speed. Lightweight at 7lbs 3oz, this Randy Rhoads RR-J2 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
