General
The Jackson Pro Rhoads RR3 is without doubt a guitar for the enthusiast. The white lacquer with black pinstripes is reminiscent of the Jackson Concorde, the guitar that started it all for Jackson guitars. This Rhoads model has the modern asymmetrical body with a number of other striking features. Take the gold-coloured hardware, for instance, that contrasts beautifully with the white finish. Or what about the stable Floyd Rose FRT-O3000 bridge instead of the usual tune-o-matic? Of course, this Jackson features the iconic sharkfin position markers.
Pro Rhoads RR3: stable construction
The body of the Pro Rhoads is made of mahogany, a wood type loved by guitarists who like a heavier sound because of the rich tone and strong bass it produces. A neck-through construction enhances sustain and playability. The fretboard is made of ebony, which adds a touch of clarity to the sound and a touch of elegance to the look. As you'd expect from a Jackson, the RR3 has a compound neck radius that measures 12 inches at the headstock and 16 inches at the body.
Pro Series: top-quality instruments.
Jackson Guitars originated in 1980, when talented young guitarist Randy Rhoads approached Wayne Charvel - then the owner of Charvel's Guitar Repair shop - with an idea for an innovative V model. In collaboration with Tim Wilson and Mike Shannon, the Concorde was created. This guitar was so different from the other instruments Charvel was issuing at the time, that guitar builder Grover Jackson decided to introduce them under his own name. Thanks to their stylish designs, fast necks and powerful sound, Jackson guitars are perfect for hard rock and metal. The Pro Series follows many of the specifications of the top models from Jackson's USA series but at a more affordable price.

Tradition meets modern standards!
