Up for sale, a 2013 Jackson USA Select Series RR1 Randy Rhoads in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original molded hardshell case and hangtags. This rare USA-made iteration of the Rhoads V features a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers, a Floyd Rose tremolo, and a gloss Black finish with Gold pinstriping.
The maple neck-through construction (alder body wings) results in excellent natural resonance, offering a balanced natural acoustic quality with great treble snap and detail. The Seymour Duncan JB SH-4/TB-4 humbuckers are Duncan’s most popular pickup of all time and the original hot-rodded humbucker. It’s a high output pickup, delivering a rich, versatile tone, with full and powerful lows, crisp, detailed highs, and an upper-midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords and translates to a singing, vocal-like quality for melodic playing. This RR1 Randy Rhoads weighs 8lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Black finish is accented both top and back by Gold pinstriping, and cosmetic wear is limited to a small chip at the bass-side body point and a few faint scratches in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for a small chipped area on the treble-side shoulder at frets 3-4 that is not distracting to the palm while fretting.
The original molded hardshell case and serialized hangtags are included.
