My rrx24 had Seymour Duncan Blackouts active pick ups it was so amazing. I couldn't find anything to complain about with mine. Had Ebony fretboard sharkfin inlays. And an awesome red high gloss, neck through, Floyd Rose, 24 fret super smooth fretboard, and neck was great couldn't believe how nice it was.
Tonewood is an acoustic guitar concept. I have 2x identical guitars in different colours made from the exact same wood, same pickups, same brand, same model, same year, yet the tones sound different. Two electric guitars will always sound different, but it's not the type of wood that is changing the tone. Type of wood only affects sustain, not the tone. Tonewood is mainly a marketing ploy to make you pay more. Doesn't mean you shouldn't buy high end guitars, of course. I can see the value in different woods for weight reasons, different smoothness of the necks or the softness of the fretboard or rosewood vs. maple necks etc. But wood is just a feel thing, nothing to do with tone.
I've got a 2018 Pro RR3 from Indonesia. It's pretty much flawless fit, finish and setup out of the box. I don't understand how so many others are getting bad QC on theirs. I have a USA Jackson to so I have something to compare built quality and finish to.
That guitar does what a Jackson does which is metal better than any guitar! You can’t get tone from Ibanez, ESP etc you have no gripe! Killer Sounding Guitar. You want a wimpy 80’s machine buy an RG 550.
Thank you so much! I don’t think I would have hated it as much if I didn’t have an idea of what it was going to be like in my head! It’s a GREAT guitar for someone. And no. The RRX24 is part of the “x series” which is made to be a more affordable series.
I recently got the purple one and it was awesome but it had some finish issues from being banged around somewhere. I too, thought the clear finish past the paint with on the neck was strange. I am currently waiting on a replacement.
Always look at specifications when you buy a guitar. It’s all there on the seller and manufacturer’s listing. Always do the extra research. Can’t get mad at a guitar when the information was there for you. However I will admit the neck profiles being different was a surprise for even me. I got a Pro Series Fury as an upgrade to my X series Jackson RRX24 and both said Thin U neck profile. However the Fury had a noticeably beefier neck.
My pro series warrior had a crack forming at the bottom where the neck sat in the body and Jackson didn't really care and told me to take it to guitar center and they didn't do shit for me either. Paid 1300 (price a year or so ago) and had that issue after a few months. Also kinda bummed it didn't come with a gig bag for that price but whatever. Plan to buy another one since it was the most comfortable guitar I've owned. Also saw Dave is getting a red and yellow custom shop warrior release soon so might cop the yellow. Lmao
I prefer the X series. Tried a pro series and it wasn’t any better but it was heavier and more expensive. Prefer the blackouts and basswood body on the X .
AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaand you're back! Nice to see you again Jimmy! I also have the same thumb pop on my left hand. It freaks my daughter out, too funny. Great looking guitar but if it doesn't fit, you must...return it. I do like the look reverse headstocks though. If the guitar hold its tuning, not a big issue. Great review, you covered all the bases. The playing aint bad either.
Yessir!! Had to take a little time with the baby to recharge! The reverse stock looks amazing. Just so impractical I think! I’m glad I touched on everything! You think this video should have a better name??
@@jimmyfranklin It's exactly what the review/video was about so no click bait there. But it IS RUclips! Maybe ..."Jackson Pro Rhoads RR24Q - OH MY...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!", "Jackson Pro Rhoads RR24Q - One step foreword, two steps back!" or "Jackson Pro Rhoads RR24Q - They actually released this to the public?!?!?" You know, over the top ridiculousness to grab the viewers attention because it is in fact, such a ridiculous title, LOL. Eh, what do I know, just having fun. I clicked on it so for me, it worked. \m/
I got the mahogany mick Thompson soloist and it's definitly different but my craziest one would be the leo Jaymes explorer kit I did with the mick Thompson pickups swapped in
What?! I prefer the Distortions by a mile. I prefer Mahogany. Looks like you need to send that bad boy this way. By the way, super distortion is Dimarzio. That guitar is built for metal. We should work out a trade 😆
i realized after that i didn't mean to say it as if they were both Duncan.. I meant to say " Duncan Distortions and Dimarzio Super Distortions!! i just did a poor job of conveying that! and again, I love mahogany ! its an amazing tone wood, but it isn't as versatile. if i was playing things that only required very full, thick tones than it would be perfect but i do need something to be thinner at times!
@@jimmyfranklin too metal?! Recant and repent!!! The dark lord will cast you out!!! 😆 Love your vids by the way. The EVH 5150 black guitar review has me really contemplating it.
In fact it has a through body maple neck, so the mahogany is just for the wings and are not the mean tone. Just happened a misconception and this things can make a mess in our heads hehe
I didn't have it in me to do it... im not that kind of guitarist. I like having a guitar be 90 percent of what I like and 10 percent of what I can deal with haha
NOPE! Almost nothing that comes stock from the fender factories (including EVH, Jackson and Charvel) comes with stainless steel... its the only thing that bums me out with all of these
I’m honestly not sure. I know I love certain guitars and they happen to have the same woods. Like this really felt like a les paul to my ear. Specifically my custom
It kinda pissed me off when I found out fender bought Jackson didn't like that very much, didn't like it when Gibson bought Kramer either. Nowadays wish I had a schecter.
The Jackson pro Rhoads. Quilt top. In winter storm. And the things I didn’t like because I came from a cheaper model that I really liked… that’s the overview of the video.
Let me know what YOUR experience has been with any Jackson Pro Series RR guitars below!

Lmao clueless smooth brain comment
Fantastic video! Hate mahogany myself due to the weight! And hate thin necks! Is there a high end version of the rrx24 guitars?

@@jimmyfranklin I've decided to go with the Jackson RRX24M
what are your thoughts on maple fretboards?
neck was thicker on my pro and I prefered the X neck. The pro just didnt feel like a Jackson that I was used to and happy with.
I recently got the purple one and it was awesome but it had some finish issues from being banged around somewhere. I too, thought the clear finish past the paint with on the neck was strange. I am currently waiting on a replacement.
I really dont think theres a difference in wood someone should test the magnetic field cause i dont think wood will change it

I have a RRT3 love it but I feel the wiring is goofy it has a resistor soldered in and I don’t believe I’ve seen one in there before
Sorry for all the comments... I also have the distortion pickup in a js 32 king v and like it but not as much as emg 81
Nice video! What song are you playing at 14:18?
Thats actually a song a riff I’m working on! Haha! You like it??

Might look better with yellow and black tribals on it hell just put some stickers on it.
I prefer the X series. Tried a pro series and it wasn’t any better but it was heavier and more expensive. Prefer the blackouts and basswood body on the X .
Yeah I agree with you on that one those blackout pick ups are freaking amazing.
I dont understand the point. The guitar is awesome! Get a women, beer and stop complaining!
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
14:16 What's the name of the song dude? love it, wanna learn it, btw i just bought the purple version of this guitar, can't wait to check it out.
That’s funny. That’s actually an original song of mine that I haven’t finished yet hahaha
@@jimmyfranklin haha alright bro, let me know when it's finished, would love to hear it, i really liked that riff 👌

Any x series has JB/59, all are louded with Jackson pickups, duncan designed, blackouts or emgs.
EXCEPT FOR my x series that was a guitar center exclusive. It’s my first video on this channel. Check it out
My Pro has JB and 59

I edited out that mistake thank you!
and ALSO!! yes.. this guitar is built for metal.. probably the most metal guitar ever! it might be too metal for what i need! 🤣🤣
@@jimmyfranklin too metal?! Recant and repent!!! The dark lord will cast you out!!! 😆
Love your vids by the way. The EVH 5150 black guitar review has me really contemplating it.

I love the ibanez wizard necks
great to see a new video! Loved it.
Thanks man!! Good to be moving again on RUclips!
You think this video could have a better name??
Green scotchbrite the lacquer transition.
I didn't have it in me to do it... im not that kind of guitarist. I like having a guitar be 90 percent of what I like and 10 percent of what I can deal with haha
Why was this particular model discontinued?
Cuz ghey
It looks sick
yeah you should be in a band
why in the world would you compare this to an x model
Because I felt that my x (which was a special run) was just as good as this or better and it was half the price.
Dude buys an upgraded model and is surprised and upset that its different. DOH!
You play like Richie kotzen
WOW WHAT?!? Are you serious?? THANK YOU 🙏🏽 I’m not even a big fan of him at all but I respect him as a player so much
finally I found a guitarist with the same thumb problem ahahahah!
Does it have stainless steel frets?
NOPE! Almost nothing that comes stock from the fender factories (including EVH, Jackson and Charvel) comes with stainless steel... its the only thing that bums me out with all of these
Wait so you actually beleive in tone wood? lol ok you had me right up until that part. Tone wood does not exsist in electric guitars.
I’m honestly not sure. I know I love certain guitars and they happen to have the same woods. Like this really felt like a les paul to my ear. Specifically my custom
Sounds good I like do you want to sell it.
Jackson is a mixed bag of Junk today.....Fender absolutely destroyed them, period.
It kinda pissed me off when I found out fender bought Jackson didn't like that very much, didn't like it when Gibson bought Kramer either. Nowadays wish I had a schecter.
wood sound differences on an electric guitar are a myth
Why are you so emotional? What a beta.
Dude wtf are you talking about
