RR24 Prototype at NAMM

[RacerX]

Hey, this was supposed to be ready last year! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
John Walker says the Japan factory was so backed up with regular production he couldn't "get it pushed through".
Anyway, it's black, 24 frets, black hardware, dark rosewood board, bound neck and headstock, neck through, single hum, string through w/ V plate. Pretty sure it's alder, as it's based on the RR5. It looked and felt awful cool (although I did not get to play it). Look for it to be formally released at summer NAMM.

Ron...I played it....very nice axe...top quality all the way. The body was very light...felt like the Bond RR....and seemed like it would be a little neck heavy too. Had a very dark Rosewood board on it....looked almost like Ebony.

Re: RR24 Prototype at NAMM

Damn. What do you guys all have against Floyds? Randy used a trem!

Re: RR24 Prototype at NAMM

Randy's main (and favorite) axe from the QR days til Ozzy was his stop tail LPC...yes, his Jackson pinstripe Concord and his Sandoval both had V trems, but he didn't play those as much as his LPC....mainly because they went outta tune so quickly (non locking). The Rhoads model Jackson that he designed (black and brass) that was pretty much a refined Concord model was a string-thru.
The majority of my US Jackson's are all equipped with OFR's...but I never use it. It's a pain in the ass to me...I like having the ability to change my tunings in a minute versus's having to spend 20 minutes setting a Floyd. Obviously different strokes for different folks, but over the years I've found what I like...and I'm not the only one either. Sure if you play 80's metal you've gotta have a Floyd [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: RR24 Prototype at NAMM

I am with you Joel. Most of my Jacksons have Floyds and they spend most of their time in the cases. The only ones I use regularly are my RR1T and the string thru RR I got from Tony. I play in a cover band and we switch tunings sometimes 3 times in a set. With the string thru I can do it in a couple seconds. Can't do that with a Floyd. Otherwise I would have to take my Gibsons to gigs instead. Not that that's a bad thing.
