Hi guys

[V-man]

New to the site and just picked up on guitars for the first time in years, so I thought I'd say hello. Jackson was the first Guitar I ever bought ('90 Rhoads Professional) and the last guitar I ever bought ('93 Rhoads PCS). The RRs are a big part of the magic for me, and have a special place in my heart. Here's mine:

'92 Tribute



'93 PCS

You will learn very quickly around here that Ron flips out if the whole guitar is not included in the shot, so don't let it happen again or he will unleash the fury upon you
Welcome to the JCF V-Man, I too have a PCS Rhoads as well as an LTD. Is your LTD a vintage trem model or Floyd?

[Ben...]

Very cool guitars. Welcome to the forum!

[mrrs]

Very nice RRs.
Welcome.

Maybe someday I will be able to get an RR (starting up violins now). Beautiful axe. Welcome home.

Thanks, everyone. I figured I should post here, seeing how most of my time would be spent in this area. The PCS has a couple of scars, but when you are considering keeping everything, it's more character than anything. The Tribute OTOH, lives out of state and basks in the shaggy fuzz of a hardshell years on end. To those that asked, the Tribute is a Floyd Rose model. By the time I had heard of the "Tribute," I was already late in the game with the vintages, but then the Floyd roses came out and I managed to snag one of the top 40 of them. The PCS is one of the top 20, BTW.

You made two very fine choices. My PCS is one of my best playing Jacksons BTW. In fact I prefer it to my LTD's.

Thanks. I sold off my Jackson Rhoads Professional for the Explorer + $ on his end, because I couldn't afford the LTD and the upcoming PCS. As much as I love the LTD, particularly for its historic value (the only V/Les Paul hybrid, IMO), its playability is definitely the lesser of the two with the hindered access to the fretboard bottom. Regardless, I figured if I was going to have 2 Jacksons in my life, those would be the two fro me. No regrets so far.

I must have really long fingers, I haven't had any issues at all with my LTD as far fret access

[roodyrocker]

Upper fret access is not the issue with my LTD's. I'm just saying that my PCS Rhoads is one of the best Jacksons I have. It just has that combination of feeling right, plays great and has killer tone. Oh, and did I forget to mention that it has never had a setup besides what it was shipped with from the factory. Its a killer axe! The others are good too but the PCS is a notch above

I'll second that statement.
