Full Description
View Full DescriptionCustom shop exclusivity
The Jackson Custom Shop USA Special Edition Rhoads is a true rarity. As a Custom Shop build, it represents the pinnacle of Jackson’s craftsmanship, combining heritage design with elite modern construction methods. Every component has been selected and assembled with painstaking care by master luthiers, ensuring not just visual appeal but exceptional structural integrity and sonic performance. The included Certificate of Authenticity confirms its exclusive origin, reinforcing its status as a genuine Custom Shop original.
Premium tonewood construction
This Special Edition Rhoads features a body constructed from genuine mahogany wings, topped with a striking 1/8" flame maple cap. The result is a rich tonal foundation that balances warmth, depth, and crisp articulation. Mahogany brings resonance and sustain to every note, while the maple top enhances brightness and clarity, cutting through mixes with ease. The oil-finished roasted quartersawn maple neck extends through the body in a neck-through configuration, maximising vibration transfer and stability. This construction not only contributes to a powerful, consistent tone but also adds a sleek, uninterrupted aesthetic that complements the guitar’s bold silhouette. Every curve and join is refined to perfection, offering seamless playability and unmatched tonal response.
High-performance playability
Engineered for comfort and speed, the Rhoads features a roasted flame maple fingerboard with a compound 12"–16" radius and 22 jumbo frets. This setup allows effortless transitions from precise chording to fluid soloing, giving you the freedom to play with full expression across the neck. The smooth feel of the roasted maple fingerboard enhances control and comfort, while its naturally striking grain adds a touch of sophistication. Black sharkfin inlays and white position markers provide excellent visibility under stage lights, and the black binding around the neck and headstock adds to the refined aesthetic. A graphite-reinforced dual-action truss rod ensures rock-solid stability and easy neck adjustments, letting you tailor the setup to your exact playing needs without compromising tone or comfort.
Versatile and powerful electronics
The electronics in this guitar are carefully chosen to deliver a huge range of tones. A DiMarzio Tone Zone sits in the bridge position, offering fat, aggressive tones with pronounced midrange and powerful output—perfect for rock and metal leads. Complementing it in the neck is a Fender Custom Shop Texas Special Strat pickup, known for its dynamic response and bluesy character. Together, they provide an incredibly versatile tonal palette, capable of everything from biting solos to warm, expressive cleans. Controlled by a master volume, master tone, and a three-way toggle switch, the setup offers intuitive sound shaping without unnecessary complexity. Combined with premium Gotoh Tune-O-Matic-style bridge hardware and Schaller locking tuners for reliable tuning and intonation, this guitar is a high-performance machine designed to deliver an unmatched playing experience.
