Here for sale we have a modified Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24 electric guitar in Battleship Grey w/Black Bevels finish. Made in Indonesia in 2022, this guitar features a Neck-Through construction comprising a Poplar body, Maple neck with Graphite reinforcement and 24 fret Laurel fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Black hardware including an aftermarket upgraded Tremoline Double-Locking Tremolo system and Jackson sealed tuning machines. The pickups have also been upgraded to a pair of active EMGs, with an 85 in the neck & an 81 in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way blade switch, independent volumes & a master tone control.
 
The Maple neck plays very well, with a slender profile that sits comfortably in the hand and offers a razor sharp and precise playing experience in all registers. The neck is certainly slim, and features a flattened area to the centre that provides ergonomic thumb positioning for those fast lead lines and solos. This is enhanced by the Laurel fingerboard, which with its 12"-16" compound radius delivers a tailored playing experience in any position. Chord playing is comfortable in the lower register, whilst the flatter radius in the higher register is well suited to lead playing and string bending. The Jumbo frets provide a rock solid playing surface, whilst also improving vibrato and string bending feel. 
 
The pair of EMG active humbuckers installed in this guitar produce a thick and full-bodied tone, perfect for more distortion-heavy styles of music. The 85 in the neck position is nicely round, with an articulate and detailed bass response, driving mids and shimmering high frequencies that cut through the mix very effectively. The 81 in the bridge position is clearly brighter, and with a higher output saturates into a searing distortion when cranking the grain. The simple control layout offers comprehensive control of your tone without being intrusive, meaning you can focus on your playing. This is a tastefully modified example of an already well -equipped instrument which is ready for it's new owner to tear up the stage.
