Engineering Excellence That Delivers
The Foundation: The offset Rhoads body shape isn’t just visually striking, it’s an iconic silhouette with decades of Jackson heritage baked right into its DNA. This legendary shape has been the weapon of choice for metal masters since the early ’80s, and continues to turn heads on stages worldwide. The alder construction provides the perfect balance of warmth and clarity that metal demands.
Neck-Through: The three-piece maple neck runs straight through the body with graphite reinforcement, delivering sustain that seems to go on forever and stability that laughs in the face of temperature changes and heavy playing.
Fretboard Mastery: The compound radius ebony fingerboard (12″-16″) is where the magic happens. Those 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets provide the real estate you need for lightning-fast runs and effortless bending, while the rolled edges feel broken-in from day one.
Tone That Kills: Seymour Duncan Power
We’ve paired this beast with Seymour Duncan’s legendary JB and ’59 humbucker combination, the same pickups that have powered countless metal classics. The JB bridge pickup delivers that aggressive bite and clarity that cuts through the mix, while the ’59 neck pickup provides smooth, singing leads that soar above the chaos.
The simple three-way switching with volume and tone controls keeps you focused on playing, not fumbling with controls mid-solo.
Premium Bridge Options
Whether you choose the Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo or the rock-solid Hipshot hardtail bridge, the RR24 is built for punishment. The Floyd Rose option handles dive bombs, flutter effects, and aggressive vibrato techniques, while the Hipshot hardtail delivers unwavering tuning stability for rhythm players who demand precision. Combined with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, this guitar stays locked in, ready for whatever you throw at it.
Visual Impact That Matches the Sound
The RR24’s reverse 6-in-line headstock and inverse mother of pearl sharkfin inlays give it that unmistakable Jackson aesthetic that’s turned heads since the ’80s. Available in stunning sleek finishes; Satin Black, Snow White, and Matte Army Drab, this guitar commands attention before you even plug it in.
The Luminlay side dots aren’t just practical for dark stages, they’re a reminder that this guitar was built for performance, not just practice rooms.

When you invest in an American Series Jackson, you’re getting more than just a guitar. The RR24 comes with a Jackson foam-core case, protecting your investment whether you’re heading to the studio or the stage.
