Jackson and Randy Rhoads are synonymous with one another. The highly-technical, groundbreaking playing of Randy Rhoads required a guitar that did not yet exist. This is the story of Jackson’s first customer, and the inception of the iconic Jackson Randy Rhoads electric guitar.

The model has continued to evolve ever since in order to meet and exceed the needs of players who came of age listening to his groundbreaking work.

Enter the Jackson Pro Series Randy Rhoads RR24 Crackle. The ultimate offering for fans of the legendary guitarist, and those looking to push today’s boundaries, while building on the past.

The Construction

The Body: The Pro Series RR24 takes full advantage of modern, hi-tech guitar development and pairs a basswood body to a through-body maple neck with a pair of graphite rods for reinforcement against temperature and humidity.

The Neck: A thin, quick neck profile is paired with a 12”-16” compound radius bound ebony fretboard to allow for highly technical playing. A narrower, more curved radius near the nut allows for comfortable chording, while moving up the neck, the radius flattens out, lending itself towards quick playing and wide bends.

The Electronics & Hardware

Jackson have selected an incredibly versatile duo of Seymour Duncan pickups with the JB TB-4 in the bridge position, and the ’59 SH-1N in the neck position. These provide for an incredibly versatile voice. Controlled by a three-way switch, a single volume and single tone knob,  searing heavy tones with hot-rodded output to creamy leads and thick rhythms with plenty of definition are right at your fingertips.

No Jackson Rhoads model would be complete without a Floyd Rose tremolo system, and the Pro Series RR24 has done it right with the inclusion of a Floyd Rose  1000 Series double-locking tremolo system.

The Look

The original Randy Rhoads signature models were known just as well for their look as they were for their sound, and the RR24 Crackle is no different.

From the screaming-metal Lightning or Maul Crackle finish, pearloid sharkfin inlays, reverse pointed 6-in-line color matched crackle headstock and revolutionary body design, this instrument is very distinctly a Jackson creation.
