Jackson Concept Series RR24 FR H (Unboxing and Review)

[@nuggetstew4380]

The Berserk special editions with the Alexi-600 and RR24, a true man of culture.

[@michael4591]

I love this guitar! I ordered one also! The fact that it has a non recessed Floyd is so cool

[@AustrianReaper]

Does it have any distinct advantages compared to a recessed one? It seems to me like it has all the annoying bits of a recessed one, but can't be pulled up as far.

[@michael4591]

@@AustrianReaper not really. But I have a 1990 RR with a nom recessed Floyd and it happened to be the best playing guitar I ever had. Maybe it has something to do with the neck angle. You can still do pull ups

[@vincentzombi3916]

Damn that axe is sick!! Looks like Alexis jackson in the early days of Children of bodom

[@royw0031]

Impeccable taste playing COB + also having the beserk books

[@lethium4250]

for a big Alexi fan it is a good alternative to those MIJ jacksons from 2007 but 2000$ still seems a little bit much for korean made... ebony fretboard seem a little bit light (maybe oiling it up will help), floyd 1000 and branded tuning pegs ? come on Jackson... But it is good to see that the non recessed floyd got enought neck angle to be able to pull up, in overall it looks like a great guitar but overpriced IMO, I'll keep my LTDs for now... Stocked you got that J-50bc, with an MM-04 you will be closer from that 2000" COB/Sinergy era tone, but if you can have a JE-1000... Have fun 🤘

[@Anaklasis1]

I could have gotten the JE-1000 with it but the MM-04 is a near exact replica with a little bit more low-end, so that's why I chose it instead. I'm sure I'd have loved the JE-1000 as well though.

[@FortessofShred]

I'd flip shit over the slightest flaw at that price.

[@brandonharris9160]

And Jackson will often sell you a guitar with big flaws even if you order from the custom shop

[@pablolonghen6936]

Show more the headstock logo, is the 80s or 90s ?

[@michael4591]

Thank god it has a regular headstock and painted neck!

[@Anaklasis1]

I kind of wish the neck wasn't painted personally, but I know some people really love the painted ones.

[@notinthemood_]

Sweet axe ! You must record some clips when the Jackson Pickup and the MM-04 is installed ! 👍🔥🤘

[@Anaklasis1]

@@notinthemood_ Thank you! I just put a few videos up of it.

[@overkill66]

I love this design. One of my dream guitars since i was a teenager. That said, it's a little bit overpriced for what is being offered and if I bought one I'd probably have to spend even more money to make it play like I'd would want it to play. For now I will leave it be. If a good deal comes in the future I will probably get one anyway. Thanks for the info and the demo!

[@FortessofShred]

A bit? They're outta their minds! No recess? And for the price they can't give you a REAL case? Those cases are bullshit at that price point. And $3,000 for a Korean guitar? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@BobbyZshredz]

Got one of these a week ago, one of the best playing guitars ive owned

[@Anaklasis1]

I agree. I've been playing the shit out of mine as well and it is a top contender for one of the better guitars I've played.

[@dekzan]

Please, does the top mount Floyd still allow very, even extremely low string height, or strings sit high ?

[@Anaklasis1]

@@dekzan Yes. I have mine pretty low currently with 10 - 50 gauge strings on it and no real issues. I did throw in a bigger tone block which was initially hitting the string plate cavity if I pulled up but I adjusted it a very miniscule amount and this hasn't been an issue since. Worst case I could have also played with the spring cavity cover removed. I have a follow up video I'll be posting soon on this guitar, just been pretty busy lately.

[@Hitemwhereithurtss]

Cool guitar

[@MeisterSchaft13]

Why they didnt make this signature series and give Alexi props back in the early 2000s when he was still a young gun?😅

[@deludedreality89]

They should just switch over to using Richlite for the fretboard. You can get it in any color and they can just order them jet black.

[@dylangajdosik964]

Floating top mounted Floyd is supposed to sit a little high. Don't mess with the posts.

[@srob7001]

Very nice! Great playing as well. Been thinking about ordering one of these. Have you tried putting the J50BC in it yet? Does it fit the pickup route in the body? One will not fit my RR24M that originally came with an EMG 81 in it. Not unless I remove the pickup cover.

[@Anaklasis1]

I would recommend pulling the trigger personally. This guitar plays excellent and is just so damned good looking. The top mount floyd is awesome looking. On the bit of the J50BC, I just got one installed into it and it fit in fine, but my pickup cover wasn't as huge as some of the ones I've seen out there. One of the old J50BCs that I had I ran into the same issue you mentioned where it was just a bit too big and clunky. The one I put in was uncovered when I received it but also came with the cover separately (I suspect it was a newer cover because it wasn't huge). Because of this it was a pretty easy install. I also removed the ABQ and threw in an MM-04. I'll post a new video soon with some clips

[@Anaklasis1]

Also, cheers from the old Bodom boards.

[@LT-ts8be]

The neck heel on your new RR24 FR H is the same as on my RR1's, my '07 RR24 has the less abrupt neck heel like your gold one. As for the Floyd, it doesn't seem like they've used the 4 degree neck angle as the Floyd seemed relatively close to the body. Thanks for showing that, and the rest of the stuff. Overall I'm glad I didn't preorder one. Will you let us viewers know what it's like when you've modded and played it for a while?

[@Anaklasis1]

I will. I just got my parts in but it's going to take a bit of work. I'll post a second video after.

[@LT-ts8be]

@@Anaklasis1 Awesome, can’t wait to hear what you think of it! Beautiful guitar

[@everythingkumo1041]

It's a shame they don't dye the ebony anymore. I'm lucky the fretboard on mine is quite dark. Personally love mine.

[@Psypher169]

Looks to have the body and paint job of a Lexi Laiho ESP

[@Anaklasis1]

@@Psypher169 Should be pretty similar looking to his Black and White Sawtooth since it was modeled after the Jackson "Stone" guitar he used to own, which this guitar is close to being a replica of.

[@darkshift69]

As soon as you played the chords to Downfall, I knew we were on the same page.

[@martinmallowfrosting888]

Does the guitar neck dive? Aprecciate the review btw!

[@Anaklasis1]

So far no issues with neck dive personally. Most of these Rhoads style guitars tend to balance pretty well I think just because there's so much more mass on the body than the neck and headstock.

[@cris_viga_loca]

one of my favourite RR, just wainting the one with the jellow bevels, anyway jackson still dont understand that an RR is not a stratocaster and there is no need to place that fu*king volume pot in that place ... thats drive me mad, just put that away jackson ... move that F**ing pot away.... anyway have a nice play ciao

[@Metalcop5150]

Non-recessed Floyd for the MF Win!! lol. You need to get yourself a Jackson J90C pickup!! That one is the killer bridge pickup from the 80/s/90's. lol 🤘

[@Nate-lp2cu]

awesome guitar. love jacksons. i know this is a nitpick, but wish these high end ones came in a hardshell, especially when you are spending over 2k. i know the main attraction is always the guitar, but having a hardshell come with your badass guitar is always welcome. anyways, thing is badass.

[@Anaklasis1]

100% agree. And they used to come in a hardshell, so I don't know why they think it's okay to cheap out on a guitar this expensive.

[@griffinchandler8027]

Sick guitars man. Are those your only rr24s?

[@Anaklasis1]

No, I also have the White with Black pinstripes.

[@griffinchandler8027]

@@Anaklasis1 I’ve thought about getting that one in the past, but I have too many to justify having as it is. How does it compare to the older mij rr/4?

[@Anaklasis1]

@@griffinchandler8027 Both the Gold w Black and the White w Black were MIJ. I really like them and put a ton of time into those instruments when I got them. They were all around excellent guitars. The only issue I had with them was the nickel frets were worn in pretty well by heavy gauge strings. I'm usually an outlier on this issue though as a lot of other people haven't had that experience. The RR24MG with 2 pickups feels great as well. My favorite part of it is the unfinished neck. The RR24 FR H may be one of my favorites now though. The stainless steel frets as well as single pickup, no nonsense control scheme is exactly what I want in a guitar. My main guitar for more than 10 years now has actually been my LTD Alexi Blacky. I threw a Seymour Duncan Nazgul in it and it has been consistently the best sounding and playing guitar I own, even if it is pretty beat up by now.

[@griffinchandler8027]

Oh, I thought you were talking about the newer Korean rr24 with the H/S config. I have 2 of the old mij rr24s, and yeah, they play fantastic. I just hope the newer ones models are keeping up with the older ones. They look so cool, it’d be a shame if they didn’t play good

[@Anaklasis1]

@@griffinchandler8027 I'd say this newer one is. The only issue I've really had with it was the factory setup but that's such an easy fix. It sounds and plays really good. I have around 12 guitars or so but this one is definitely competing for the main guitar spot now with LTD Alexi Blacky.

[@brutalieri]

Why not get a Japanese made ESP E-II SV?

[@Anaklasis1]

Personal preference. Don't really want 2 pickups, wanted stainless steel frets, and a top mount floyd. The SV's are sick though.

[@swordbig5356]

Where is it produced？

[@michael4591]

Are the cavity plates plastic or metal?

[@Anaklasis1]

They are metal.

[@anthonysaif3796]

Hello, the Floyd Rose on this guitar is original or 1000??

[@Anaklasis1]

1000 series. I have had no issues with it. I am upgrading it with FU Tone parts though.

[@DavidBloom-kq2pk]

Cool with it

[@frozenstarlight7782]

Does the neck is thinner than the normal rr24 Japan?

[@Anaklasis1]

It's about the same. The only thing different shapewise is the neck-heel.

[@frozenstarlight7782]

@@Anaklasis1 I owned a Jackson stars rrj2sp and it was thinner than the rr24 2008-2010mij (nut width***)

[@dantilan]

Great video, informative and to the point. Overall it looks disappointing, fretboard is way too bright, the overdrive knob is borderline useless unless you decide to swap the pickup out and it’s way too overpriced for something that’s made in Korea and has questionable quality control. Compared to the old RR24s (you know the ones, red, yellow and white) this looks inferior, on top of being almost a thousand dollars more expensive. I am glad you didn’t waste too much time demoing an emg81. The damn thing sounds the same on a $5k instrument as it does on a broom handle.

[@yardenmor-avi9765]

Dye the fretboard, change out the OD knob to a switch and switch out the 81 to a J50BC with a JE-1000!

[@Anaklasis1]

@@yardenmor-avi9765 That's what's going to end up happening to it.
