Jackson JS Series Rhoads JS32T - Satin Black

It would be unfair to simply label this a metal machine. She's my go-to guitar. Light. Fast. Simple. Everything you need and nothing you don't. Controls like a Tele. Some may dislike placement of three-pole switch between the master volume and tone controls, but with a minimum of practice, this actually becomes an improvement. Perfect for beginners. More than adequate for journeymen and even pros who aren't overly-conscious of appearing with a cost-efficient guitar.Humbuckers are decent. Produce fantastic tone. There's the point at which this guitar breaks from the Tele. Body shape akin to classic but unproduced Gibson Moderne from the '58 NAMM show. Poplar top and back - decent. Amaranth fret board - may take a little getting used to because it's hard and somewhat less forgiving than rosewood, but if you like a clean tone that can be pedal-modified, you're fine. Basswood body - very stable. Some will complain about this, but I've gotten better tonal quality out of this little guitar than I have much higher end Pauls and Strats that are just collecting dust in the corner.This is a pickup and go guitar. Plug her into a deserving amp and halfway decent pedalboard and you have an ax of which to be proud. Good-looking. Great sounding. I give her a six out of five - yeah an extra star.

This guitar is a really great product. Awesome value for the quality. Jackson guitars are an Awesome brand. There’s a reason Randy Rhoads played them! Right out of the box, just needed a quick tune and it sounds amazing. I love it and it’s so much fun to play. Due to the shape, it’s not an easy guitar to play while sitting down so its definitely an on-stage guitar for playing while standing. It’s a normal weight, nothing ridiculously heavy. All in all a great guitar for the money and very very fun to play.

When I first started looking for my first guitar, I was told to not get a V because of comfort reasons. But this is a different story. When I got this, I was shocked about how well it played with the price i bought it for. If you are into pointy guitars for your first guitar, this is it. I would even say this sounds better than a Les Paul. Go for it!!!!

This guitar has a ground problem. Its connected but the paint on the saddles inhibits its funtion. Be aware of this problem before buying. It gets better after strings wear the paint off tho so it fixes itself.

I like the way this guitar sounds. It haves a high gain. Great for playing any genre of metal. Recommended.

I love this guitar I wanted to buy a guitar but I didn’t have enough money to buy a real expensive one so I never had anything bad to say about Jackson guitars so I took a chance and I’m glad I bought this guitar it looks killer and sounds good fir the price I wish it had better pick ups but over all great guitar for beginners and advanced players

Look, the guitar is fine for what it is. Cheap, easy to look cool with (who doesn't like the v) but here's the thing, these pickups are NOT chord friendly. The second and bass gets introduced it kills your higher notes. They're incredibly bass heavy, you can try to move the pickups slanted to lessen how much bass end gets picked up but.. yea it's pretty bad.If you're doing thrash metal and spamming the E string it's not too bad. Just don't except to be able to hear chords or solo runs very well.

intonation spot on ,was even tuned put strings on er n even better ,i will note th tuning key are a lil tite to the turn but thats not a bad thing since ive had it since may n its now july ready to rock at anytime ndont lose it tone, i(did however swap the top nut w bone nut) jackson rr1 IS WELL WORTH every penny i paid
