WHOO HOO i just picked this one up 2 days ago for a steal . this thing is awesome, it has a wide neck but thin almost classical in a way, very fast and slick. the sound is huge out of this one, maple neck with bound ebony board, mahogany/nato body. emg81 bridge, 707 neck. seven string floyd holds good and the sustain is beautiful. i will say it has very good fit and finish, only drawback is its horribly balanced( i will have to put conterweight balance on the backside of the strap). jackson should take a hard look at what bc rich did here for the quality at an affordable price. i got this on a sale for 764.15 with hardshell case shipped.

Grats man they are awesome
I've had mine a few months now, i am really loving it.
I put on some thicker strings, custom gauged them to drop tune it a step and tightened the claw screws a little bit and it set up perfectly. Intonation stayed well.
Floyd is level and tight 4 springs heavy strings.
Got a big block and tremel-no for it to maybe add some counter balance and solid feel, but it really rocks as is with good string tension.
Every practice i pull it out of the case it's already in tune.
I had to raise the action just because i like it a bit higher.
I had just walked in the door from playing it all night and was thinking of the best way to counterbalance it, it's not horrible dive as is but just enough that you would want to correct it.
I like your idea of weighting the strap, cause there is no room in the cavity. I finally changed the shing duk pho battery tonight.
Can't believe it lasted this long
Only workmanship flaw is file marks on the binding, but really i'm just happy the neck is all i could hoped for in feel luckily.
I grilled them about the exact neck specs before i bought it.
Neck is Radius 15" Neck thickness is 20mm at 1st fret & 22mm at 12th fret and the shape of neck is "C" shape - Nut- 48.2mm 12th- 60.8mm.
It get's thicker where it meets the body, almost classical feel your right.
Anyway it's a keeper, finally got a Stealth standard scale and it's a 7
Enjoy!Last edited by Trem; 03-14-2010, 08:47 AM.

You know, Both of my Bc Riches are Korean made and they are easily as good as my Jackson USA.
My Deluxe Jr V MF, you know the ones that won't sell for 350 on ebay, is as every bit as nice as my USA RR1, an in fact has a better natural tone and resonant depth to it. So I sold one of my USA's off and kept the Rich, no brainer.
Still love my RR1, tho
