i played one at a local music store and the colour is nicer in person than in the pics... killer colour, i would buy one but the rosewood board looks like crap with the pink
I think its kinda different. I get tired of seeing the same colors all the time, this one is kinda new and just something you dont see all the time. I get tired of red, navy blue, black, etc..... this one is really kinda neat.
I like the neck thru idea. the bridge looks like an OFR, but Jackson lists it as a FRT-0200 which I am not familiar with........what is that?? a spin off of the OFR??
its got the good Duncans in it too. I like it.
Looks like the going price is around $1500 for one. kinda high for an import aint it? heck, you can have a USA for about $500 more.
I see that ebay one sold for $700......wonder why..... that sounds strange.
The FRT-2000 is a Korean(?) made Floyd Rose that is made by the actual Floyd Rose company. It is used to cut costs. Any imports that have Non-Jackson Floyds have these along with the new Charvel Production Models.

I think I would have a hard time forking out $1500 for one. maybe something to look for on the used side. I like the features, real duncans, floyd, neck thru, the silver bevels, color match headstock. lots of cool stuff. BUT, dang.......you can go USA for not much more. I am thinking that is more like a $1000 ride.
actually, that color strikes me as one that could be a love it or hate it thing, and I bet there will be a few of them left hanging in stores for a while. the color hit me as cool, but I dont know......maybe I would get tired of it after a while.
RR5's are freakin sweet, if I had the money I'd get a black one to hang with my les pauls because of the non trem idea of it. Their deffinately my favriote rhoads other than my RR24.
