Like others, I have had a few Jacksons over the years. Ever since the Rhoads went into production, I have always been intrigued by it, but never purchased. Never cared for an "artist type model, or affiliation of". Last year or two( I believe) This Rhoads shows up on fleesebay. I watched it. Then it disappeared. I did not have the coin for it, but I would have gone in debt for it. I was on the fence since it was a floyd'd RR, not a RR1T.
I really wanted a hardtail. So, I subscribed to the Jackson search. Nothing. Just out of the blue while checking on my account on Reverb, I decide to search (again). There she is. I kept cool. made an offer. They accepted. She is here. Total case queen. Stock old school emg 85 bridge, 81 neck. Tone pots cut out of circuit. The Jackson/ schaller Floyd bridge looks brand new. I will have to find a new nut, the oem floyd nut has a spacing issue with the B string. Oh, I am a sucker for the Coral Sea finish, Like a bull seeing red. that alone was the deciding factor. The Coral Sea finish is striking. I have yet to see another. Here with it's cousin, My fusion. I am a happy old man.
