One of the most comfortable extreme ( metal shaped ) guitars I’ve ever played . The short wing on the bottom made it more comfortable to play in a classical position . It makes sense that it would be considering Randy studied classical guitar .

[@hfrhkiuffbkiyfc]

Lol exact reason I prefer rhoads over the king V. I tried a regular V back in the 90s and found the bottom wing a bit much.

[@triledink]

Randy Rhoads V guitars is probably the coolest V to ever be made.

Hey Ola, I wanted to share my greatest gratitude to you! About two years ago I lost my focus and my desire for my instrument and I was on the near edge of stopping to play guitar But it was also that point where I started watching your videos on a regularly basis and you gave me that fire back that made me start in the first place. You’re such a huge inspiration and Idol to me and I just wanted to thank you. You’re the most amazing KZbinr and I always have that amazing feeling of joy whenever I see your stuff! Thank you so much for lighting that fire again. It’s shines brighter than ever!

[@VapnFagan]

I have wanted one of these ever since they were released. I own a USA Jackson King V that i love and i wonder how this would compare in sound and build quality to my King V

[@dumpsterplayer5133]

Its honestly a little bit boring compared to the old USA production line, or even the Japanese production line (even after the Professional Pro was discontinued they continued to make USA-class instrument for the local market). Doesn't even have colored bevels or pinstriping, when Snow White Black Bevel is like THE RR1 color scheme and pinstripe is classic Rhoads. For the asking price new, I'm not sure if its ever worth over just importing an old JDM Rhoads, or rather 2-3 of them given the price difference. I picked up a Japanese Rhoads Custom (top of the line models of the early 90s, same spec as the USA Rhoads Custom that became the RR1) recently and its as well made as any USA I've played.

[@_ProTrax]

Yeah I have a USA KV2 and love it but seeing as these have a listed price of like $2,300 that's not worth it at all when you can start finding US guitars for a bit above that

[@DSchea]

I play on Jackson King v and esp Ltd v and I honestly have to say I do not care for the randy Rhodes v

Dude, the JB is my fav pickup! Love how upfront and present its mids are; it's a straight-up fucking crunch machine. I have one in the bridge of a Schecter C-1 Classic that I keep in drop-A. Most folks don't think of the JB as a pickup for severely downtuned guitars, but I was shocked at how well it works in that low tuning. Just an amazing all-around pickup.

[@Dapno_]

Absolutely agree, JBs are great and have such a fitting EQ for basically everything!

[@greekfreak1980]

There's a reason why the JB is S.Duncan's most sold bridge humbucker even today.

[@TheDrogich]

@@greekfreak1980 hmm I think I read somwhere that JB is most sold pickup ever, not only most sold Seymour Duncan humbucker pickup

[@coffinfeeder7732]

I have Kenny Hickey C-1 tuned to drop B and the JB just sounds phenomenal through hot rodded Marshall stuff like Friedmans and Bogners on my Kemper. I like to think i can get pretty close to Jim Root’s tone through a BE-100.

[@LeoM-zt3pl]

A lot of guitarists forget that the guitar is predominantly a mid range instrument. As they crank the bass, treble and scoop the mids out. Mids are your friend !

I had one of the original Rhoads customs black and brass that Jackson released after Randy’s passing. They were just called the Custom and Student model. I got the Custom in 1984 as a high school graduation gift from my parents but honestly I badgered them on a daily basis until they finally gave in. I regretfully sold it to a collector and it’s online at Gila guitars. Great guitar and I miss it.

[@TheSpineSplitter1990]

A few years back i had a sweet King V and a RR pro series, and even though I mostly play a lot of Death Metal, I couldn't stop playing a bunch of Thrash riffs on those guitars.

[@torx9579]

Ola, You really need to stop apologising for not to be "shreading". You are a professional and way beyond an average player even if not fretboard catching the fire here. I personally think it's anyways more about the melody than just hitting much notes as you can... Appreciate also the review, helped my decision with a new guitar!

[@ryancurfman]

This is such an Arch Enemy-esque tone with those Duncan’s 😍

[@ALEX-RAMPAGE]

I recently bought one. Except for Peroyd Inlays, the construction is of the highest quality! You could safely say it's a japanese made rr1t. I recently compared the model with my 2007 American rr1 floyd. Very very close

[@bryanmchugh1307]

The inlays are "pearloid" though. That being said the MJ line all have one distinct characteristic and that is that they are built just as good and at times even better than USA made Jacksons. Hell my DKMGT MIJ is one of the best high value guitars and incredible players I have ever had. The neck is near Wizard thin. I am eyeing the MJ SL2.

[@MarcAndreLevesque]

the JB sounds also really good when rolling back the volume and you get PAFesque sounds out of it with the tone rolled down a little as well. My favorite bridge pickup

[@jacobgarcia2660]

I wonder how this Rhoads would sound with a sh5 custom in the bridge, the jb is nice but the custom has more crushing crunch

[@m.ochminski]

This price is huge. I've bought RR5 from 2007 with same spec (but no locking tuners and no strap locks) for 1/3 of this price.

How is the quality compared to ESP E-II line up? I need to choose between this jackson and the E-II Arrow.

[@bernardoa.garciah.2316]

I presume that in terms of fit, finish and hardware both are very solid choices. The dealbreaker is the neck shape; ESP and Jackson are VERY different in terms of neck feel.

In my opinion, ESP blows Jackson out of the water in every circumstance

Hi Ola! Thank you for this demo! IMHO it`s one of the best! I`m not a Jackson guitar fan, but this sounds great. As I`ve notiсed Jackson guitars through Mesa Boogie Mark 5 is one of the best and the most versitale conjunction: from shimmering cleans to the most brutal chug and anything between for any genre.

I have a Jackson RR5 from 2000 and it's an MIJ with a set neck. Totally awesome metal guitar. Also it's black and gold which is awesome.

If it is a MIJ RR5 it is one solid piece of rock maple from headstock to butt, it's neck thru not a set neck. Your RR5 is much BETTER than a mere set neck lol.

Overpriced, like the entire market. Thank you Ola for having reasonable prices. I would say only a handful of makers are offering fair prices. Solar, Ormsby, and Dunable, would be the top 3 for me easy. Well done gentlemen!

[@MarcusW87]

Almost every Indonesian made guitar falls in the Solar ballpark price wise, like the LTD Deluxe series. Japanese labour is far more expensive and so are are the guitars. In fact, the only thing stopping me from buying a Solar is Indonesian quality control, I wish Ola would go Korean with his brand. Seems like a good middle ground between Indonesia and Japan, every guitar I’ve owned from the Korean WMI factory has been excellent!
