Rr3r?

The catalog says alder. Alder and poplar sound pretty similar anyway.

The catalog I have for the year I got mine said poplar. i'll look up the catalog scan when i get home from work. they are far too heavy to be alder - well the rr3r is

Mine is from 1998 http://audiozone.dk/cm/albums/jc-cat...1998Page03.jpg

I didn't realize they made them for multiple years. I am surprised, I thought they went over like a lead balloon.

in 2000 they were made with Alder. so yeah. but like you said they sound pretty much the same

Cool. I guess like a lot of older Jackson models that started out as poplar, they switched over to alder.

if you've never seen one before, it must be fake. or Custom Shop.

Or its EXACTLY as i said.
Although they do not have the exact one anymore, it is the same idea as these.

Oh shit! That was the wrong thread, I thought I remembered the title, I guess I didnt.

Funny thing about those reverse headstock models. alot of them didnt have chrome parts, but rather flat silver, I saw a DK with the reverse head and flat silver hardware, just looked off to me, then again I dont have anything with actual chrome on it so I dont know. LOL.

a lot of the import stuff at that time (when the RR3R, KE3R, RR7R, etc were made) came with that "brushed alloy"-looking hardware. I'm not sure if those models were continued after the hardware swap, but it was definitely around that period. You see PC3s & DKs with the same hardware

Nods my RR3R did, here's a pic of the replacement one from Frets on the net -

you can see the licensed floyd on there in that brushed metal as well... the plat that was on there looked exactly like that (only not re-configured for my tastes)
