Jackson RR PRO arrives!

[RattleHead]

Even if you just added bevels it would probably cover up the damage.

[StukaJU87]

That is a beautiful guitar. Too bad about the damage.

[RacerX]

Well what caused that damage then?

I always double box.

[Rich#6]

Looks to me like the fin was too close to the corner of the box. That box doesn't look wide enough to have given the fins enough protection and it does look like it was tossed around abit.

Exactly. The thing was that another centimeter on the width or the height would mean another 20$ to the final shipping cost :/ (when shipping by air). And I didn't know that they will fuck up and ship it by ground when Cory distinctly said he wants it sent by air. Well, it's not that bad and I'm beginning to like the red finish now .

I said you will!

Glad you finally got the Pro, Uros! Congrats man. I really like it in red and I hope you will too, eventually. You probably already know, but pulling the J50's and the electronics and putting in some good pups will alter (improve IMO) the sound of that Rhoads a lot.

I hate to see the damage! And I hate packing peanuts, because they are no good for pointy stuff! I've had a headstock damaged in shipping this way too, thanks to these damn peanuts
During shipping, the peanuts will move aside due to vibrations + box expansion and let pointy objects through. Single boxing is not good enough either.

Thanks! I was actually looking forward to these pickups and electronics. They are a bit too low output for metal and if I turn the gain up I get bees sounds out of my Crate SS amp :/. I really like the sound when playing sweeps or tapping, but not when playing death metal style rhythm riffs. I'll see how it will sound thru 5150 when I get it and I'll decide if I leave them or not then. I have a USA made Jackson J90c pickup sitting in the drawer so I can put it in it if I want .

I'll remember about peanuts for the future!

Does anyone else think that these pickups are very trebly sounding?

[OldSchoolMetal]

Nice axe!!! Mine is exactly like that one. I have a EMG-85 in the bridge and it sounds killer. Thrash on.

[levantin]

Great score dude. Shame about the damage. Go play it already!

[NATAS666]

Congrats !

[69dodgecharger]

I really like the jackson stars rhoads

Oops. I thought noone would ask . I'll make it tomorrow maybe.

Nice guitar, shame about the damage though
