Legit RR5?

[Jaymzhulk]

I recently ran into an RR5 on eBay for what I felt was a good price and I snagged it. I broke my #1 rule of not buying anything on eBay before I verify that it is a legit Jackson. The description was simple
Flying V Jackson
Jackson-Randy Rhoads 2006
White with Gold
Great condition and hardly used.
Color: white and gold

I asked him for the serial number and he says it doesnt have one. I compared the pics to other RR5s I found that I know are legit and it looks good to me but you can never tell with pictures. I know there are guys on here than can spot fakes pretty easily and I typically can once I have the guitar in my hands but on pics, not so much.

Any help here is appreciated.

I almost bought that guitar. looks legit. and you got a great price too.

Serial should be stamped on the fretboard. From the pics it looks legit to me, but I'm sure others can chime in and verify

Looks like a legit RR5 to me, nothing about it jumps out and screams "fake" to me. The serial number should be located on the fretboard after the 24th fret. If the seller says it doesn't have one then either he's blind or it's been sanded off, which is suspicious...

You must also be blind... an RR5 doesn't have 24 frets.

Toe what do you think? Is it Legit?

Looks legit to me. Serial should be stamped at 22nd fret, or possibly a sticker on the back of the neck?

Its legit for sure. You barely can see where the serial is after the 22nd fret, but its there in the last pic. I wouldnt worry about it, if you got it for a good price then you got a good deal!

scored it for $350.....about 1/2 of what most of the similar ones are listed for on eBay. Which is why I was so skeptical

There's no way a MIC shop could fake a RR5 for $350 without it being pretty obvious. They wouldn't make any money on it at all.

350 is about right on those. and yeah looks good.

[Rich#6]

no it's not.

Great score!

350 is cheap for a clean RR5, I haven't seen them that cheap

[Corpsegrinder88]

LOL guess i got a killer deal then.
