I've decided I want a Rhoads guitar. Its between the RR3 and the RR5. Besides the RR5 looking nicer, being Floyd-less, and hhaev a set neck, is one made better than the other? I like the looks and neck-thru construction of the RR5, but I like the Floyd on the RR3. So I guess it just coems down to preference? Also, is there anyway to get a Floyd on a RRhoads with the RR5's Ivory color scheme otuside of the custom shop?

My only problem the the 24 fretter as it would be a bit redundant with my Charvel, which while its only 22 frets it has EMG pickups and a Floyd :POriginally posted by Rich#6 View PostComment

I dont own either (both are truly sweet guitars) however the "string through" "set neck" of the RR5 has a much fuller tone in my opinion. Depends on what sound your after.Comment

don't you mean neck-thru?
for me, it's between the RR24 and the RR5... leaning towards the RR24 cuz of the EMG, the Floyd, the binding and the paintjobs."Better to Die Quickly Fighting on Your Feet

I will say the RR5 slays the RR3, but when you really look at it is it really worth an extra $400 for the same guitar with a few differences and a neck thru construction?I would so snatch that up it if were 24 frets

Yes. I have 2 bolt on guitars, a bolt on bass and a neck thru bass... and the Neck thru is definatly worth the money IMO.Originally posted by KLNowak View Post"Better to Die Quickly Fighting on Your Feet

The main differences between the RR3 and RR5 are those:
1)The RR5 is neckthru, the RR3 is bolton.
2)The RR5 is fixed bridge with string thru body, the RR3 mount a Licensed Floyd.
3)The RR5 has Seymour Duncan pickups, the RR3 has "Designed" Duncan (here in Italy and only the newer models).
I heard that the RR5 is the most "USA-Like" Japan Jackson guitars.
If You wan't a Floyd RR5 look at the new RR24, they comes with a cheap floyd rose (it is original but worst than an "standard floyd") and 24 frets. I remember that is availables a white with pinstripe paint option but not shure (even if it's white non ivory) ...

whoooo, back from the dead!
The RR5FR is now available for those who want a Floyd on their RR5. The RR3 is now available with "real" Duncans, just like the RR5.
and the guy before you mentioned the RR24 back in Jan '07.
