Just look for a used Rhoads Pro Professional. Floyd, neck-thru, the whole package. And usually goes for cheaper than a new RR5, too. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I just purchased one off of eBay....how much difference in playability is the KB Rhoads to a USA Rhoads? (Used to own a USA Rhoads)

well.. yea... but none of the RR's that are neck through have floyds (apart of the US select series but that one is a bit pricy)

but, i'm not here to argue. it's not MY signature guitar =)

Yeah, as soon as they add an RR-5F people will start asking for 24 frets. The bitching never ends!

Then after that, they'll be bitching about ebony fretboards, and binding. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

There ya go! Welcome back, Kevin. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Though, with the TOM bridge on it now, the neck tilts back. They'd have to put on a non-recessed Floyd to keep in line with the neck angle (I prefer non-recessed anyway). If people wanted it recessed, there'd have to be more woodworking involved (i.e., more cost to the customer) so the neck would be straight with no tilt. And, anyway, when's the last time Jackson did a non-recessed trem?

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

That's the point... I'd get one right now if they'de make a non recessed floyd one.
Go Kevin Go !

Definitly looks nice, never been able to get my hands on one to try it though.

Welcome aboard Kevin, your sig series guitar is quite nice, i have yet to play one b/c in OKC you don't find very many nice Jacksons if any. I work at the local GC and if we get one i will be sure to check it out. The way the thing looks makes me want to go buy one. later [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

Yee-haw! I ordered one today. Can anyone tell me how it sounds unplugged? I'm interested in the sound characteristics of the wood and sustain etc.

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

Hey, can anyone tell me what the inlays are made of? Is it MOP or MOTO? Maybe a big close-up pic to go with it?

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

Joe, actually with the tilt back neck, the non-recessed floyd would work. That is how it works, recessed floyd gets the straight neck and non-recessed floyds get the tilt neck. I have owned both and prefer tunamatic stopbar bridges like KB`s guitar or a non-recessed floyd like I am getting on my new CS Soloist. Jack.

I know. That's what I said. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Good luck getting Jackson to do a Floyd nowadays that's not recessed on a production guitar. They will in the Custom Shop, though.

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

Does anyone have some comments on how they guitar sounds unplugged? And what material the inlays are made of? Thanks.

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

Hey guys,
There has been a slight problem here concerning the stocks of the European stores. I contacted a lot of stores and only one of them had 2 left in stock. There were lots of people ordering them and sadly enough, I was the third...

Now, they reserve the guitar for no more than 10 days. If it isn't paid by then it goes to another costumer. He he... One guy was too late and I just got a message from the salesman that it's coming my way! Whoooo!!!

Re: Just got my new Jackson (Kevin Bonds Rhoads)

I'm sorry but I just keep talking to myself...

I'm trying to figure out what the deal is with the SD Iommi but I can't find anything about it. I only figured out that the model name SH-TI1b is.
