The Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 6-String Electric Guitar continues the metal legacy pioneered by the immortal Randy Rhoads. Over the last three decades, metal has evolved dramatically, and today’s metal calls for a hotter, more aggressive tone than ever before. With its Ivory finish, black pinstripes, and gold hardware, the RRT-3 is an elegantly formidable V-shaped axe loaded with supercharged features including a mahogany body, graphite-reinforced through-body maple neck with scarf joint, and an ultra-smooth oiled back finish. Its bound 12–16-inch ebony fingerboard hosts 22 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays.Optimal Sound QualityChosen specifically for their incredible sound, a pair of modern Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucking pickups drives this guitar’s voice, combining for a highly balanced, flexible tone, with plenty of high output for pristine cleans and snarling distortion. This guitar also features three-way toggle pickup switching and a Jackson compensated and adjustable TOM-style bridge with an anchored tailpiece.Direct Mount Seymour Duncan Distortion HumbuckingThe Duncan Distortion humbucking pickups incorporate massive ceramic magnets and hot coil windings to deliver well-balanced rock and metal tones that have rich upper midrange harmonic content. These high-output pickups deliver searing lead tone and crunchy rhythms and also clean up well for smooth, fluid solos under high gain. The pickups are mounted to the body for increased resonance and vibration transfer, adding more punch and sustain to your sound.Neck-Through-Body with Graphite Reinforcement and Scarf JointTrue neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980, allowing for greater playability and sustain. Neck-through is a method of guitar construction that involves extending the piece (or pieces) of wood used for the neck through the entire length of the body. Graphite reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.
