Jackson RRXMG Black Yellow Bevels elgitarr

Allmänt

The guitars from the Jackson X Series Rhoads line all have that unmistakable Randy Rhoads character. For instance, this RRXMG, with black finish and yellow bevels, features the legendary offset V body. This, in combination with the sharp headstock and prominent Jackson logo makes this a really impressive instrument. Its sound is just as impressive, thanks to active pickups and a well-constructed body. For those looking for a real Rhoads, the RRXMG is a rather budget-friendly relative. Comparisons with Spinal Tap are optional but every hardrocker can show themselves on stage with this sharply lined black metal beast.

Jackson RRXMG: active EMGs and Floyd Rose Special

Good pickups define an electric guitar's capacities. The RRXMG has two active humbuckers on board. The EMG 85 at the bridge is known for its warm, smooth sound while the EMG 81 at the neck provides a large dose of power if you want that 'extra push over the cliff'. With the pickup switch you can choose whether you want to use them together or separately and you also have volume and tone control at your disposal. Another feature is the high-quality Floyd Rose Special bridge that was based on the Original Floyd Rose. This stable tremolo bridge, together with the locking nut, offers you great expression options and tuning stability.

Materials and construction

The body of the RRXMG is made of basswood, a wood type that's an excellent match with this hardrock-oriented Jackson RRXMG. Mid frequencies are clearly audible and the deep, growling resonance of the body perfectly matches the powerful active EMG pickups. It also has great sustain characteristics. The maple neck has a rosewood compound radius-fretboard with 24 jumbo frets. As a result, you can easily and comfortably play chords and solos high up the neck. With the neck-through construction, the transition from the neck to the body is smooth so your hands are not hindered when you want to reach the 24th fret to play a solo.
