Rhoads Professional STD circa. 1994

[thetruthguy]

There's one in the classifieds section right now. Can anyone give me specs on this? Particularly, are the Jackson pups quality? Is the 580LP better or worse quality compared to the ones made today? How does the STD Rhoads compare to the RR3, the RX10D, the RR5, etc.?

Thanks!

IIRC, it's neckthrough, right?
So right there it beats the RR3 and RX10.
Of course, the RR5 has fins, and the STD has dots.

I think the Rhoads Std is the predecessor to the RR3, before they gave it sharkfins and Duncan Designed pickups. It's not a neck-thru; that would be the first Rhoads Pro, which had binding, fins and pearl logo.

Hey Inazone, he's talking about my Rhoads STD, and it is a neck-through...Rhoads STD on the trussrod and maple neck through with poplar wings...

I always forget, there's the Rhoads "Student" and Rhoads "Standard".
