One of the most comfortable extreme ( metal shaped ) guitars I’ve ever played . The short wing on the bottom made it more comfortable to play in a classical position . It makes sense that it would be considering Randy studied classical guitar .
Hey Ola, I wanted to share my greatest gratitude to you! About two years ago I lost my focus and my desire for my instrument and I was on the near edge of stopping to play guitar But it was also that point where I started watching your videos on a regularly basis and you gave me that fire back that made me start in the first place. You’re such a huge inspiration and Idol to me and I just wanted to thank you. You’re the most amazing RUclipsr and I always have that amazing feeling of joy whenever I see your stuff! Thank you so much for lighting that fire again. It’s shines brighter than ever!
I have wanted one of these ever since they were released. I own a USA Jackson King V that i love and i wonder how this would compare in sound and build quality to my King V
Its honestly a little bit boring compared to the old USA production line, or even the Japanese production line (even after the Professional Pro was discontinued they continued to make USA-class instrument for the local market). Doesn't even have colored bevels or pinstriping, when Snow White Black Bevel is like THE RR1 color scheme and pinstripe is classic Rhoads. For the asking price new, I'm not sure if its ever worth over just importing an old JDM Rhoads, or rather 2-3 of them given the price difference. I picked up a Japanese Rhoads Custom (top of the line models of the early 90s, same spec as the USA Rhoads Custom that became the RR1) recently and its as well made as any USA I've played.
Yeah I have a USA KV2 and love it but seeing as these have a listed price of like $2,300 that's not worth it at all when you can start finding US guitars for a bit above that
@@ianstrickland5280 Base Black with Deep Purple edging with matching neck and headstock. I'm really excited, best part... I didn't spend a dime on any of it 🤘
@@ekimmara3027 My V has mint Passive EMG pickups, it's a 96 so all hardware is from early to mid 90s 🤘I'll be sure to get that on RUclips. I got a "custom shop business" that I'm trying to get started with my builder. My design and his building skills 🤘 I'm so excited. Glad I have my Silver Burst Jackson Soloist to play in the meantime.
As a kid in the 80s, this was my most wanted guitars of all. Had to settle for playing a friend's, knock-off version. Almost as cool. That one is beautiful.
Olaaaaa. Man. You always impresses me. I listen to most of your videos through my beats headphones on either my iPhone or iPad when I’m at work. The thing I wanna say is that you truly capture most of what you’re trying to say in your tonal videos. I love that you you usually use the mic from the cabinet as well as a mic just from what’s being captured in the room, as well as everything in between. Thank you for everything you do 👍
Ola, You really need to stop apologising for not to be "shreading". You are a professional and way beyond an average player even if not fretboard catching the fire here. I personally think it's anyways more about the melody than just hitting much notes as you can... Appreciate also the review, helped my decision with a new guitar!
Dude, the JB is my fav pickup! Love how upfront and present its mids are; it's a straight-up fucking crunch machine. I have one in the bridge of a Schecter C-1 Classic that I keep in drop-A. Most folks don't think of the JB as a pickup for severely downtuned guitars, but I was shocked at how well it works in that low tuning. Just an amazing all-around pickup.
I have Kenny Hickey C-1 tuned to drop B and the JB just sounds phenomenal through hot rodded Marshall stuff like Friedmans and Bogners on my Kemper. I like to think i can get pretty close to Jim Root’s tone through a BE-100.
A lot of guitarists forget that the guitar is predominantly a mid range instrument. As they crank the bass, treble and scoop the mids out. Mids are your friend !
@@mharservice6271 I feel your pain on waiting on gear. I order a Gibson SG limited edition CME exclusive back in February just to get it last week. It was worth the wait. The day that Mesa comes will be like an ongoing Christmas day for years to come... Congrats!I
I have one too! From the early 2000s. So sick. I’ve been rebuilding/upgrading my a few of my guitars and that’s one of them. Thinking about upgrading to a better Floyd rose. Or maybe even blocking it off.
Professional quality playing sound high quality sound love your demo Jackson Dinky Arch top I sanded down the gloss on the neck and took the wood file and chapped the sharp contour rounded were my forearm sits, Jackson company is just a high quality craftsmanship.dont forget coffee with Ola experience supper great
I had one of the original Rhoads customs black and brass that Jackson released after Randy’s passing. They were just called the Custom and Student model. I got the Custom in 1984 as a high school graduation gift from my parents but honestly I badgered them on a daily basis until they finally gave in. I regretfully sold it to a collector and it’s online at Gila guitars. Great guitar and I miss it.
I’ve always loved Jackson guitars. They were my first love. I pretty much exclusively play Jackson and Solar guitars at this point. But ever since I got my A1.6 it’s pretty much my go to 90% of the time.
I picked up a Jackson Soloist with a neck very similar to to the one being played by Ola. If sounds freeking awesome but the neck is amazing and the action is incredible. It’s just such fun to play.
My first guitar was a Jackson dinky ps1, I bought it in 1996, a beautiful guitar, and as always Jackson making beautiful instruments, greetings from Brazil
I recently bought one. Except for Peroyd Inlays, the construction is of the highest quality! You could safely say it's a japanese made rr1t. I recently compared the model with my 2007 American rr1 floyd. Very very close
Hi Ola! Thank you for this demo! IMHO it`s one of the best! I`m not a Jackson guitar fan, but this sounds great. As I`ve notiсed Jackson guitars through Mesa Boogie Mark 5 is one of the best and the most versitale conjunction: from shimmering cleans to the most brutal chug and anything between for any genre.
I just received mine a few days ago and the guitar is sick! Plays so fantastically. I have it in drop b with 12-60 and a crazy 1mm action at12th with no buzz
A few years back i had a sweet King V and a RR pro series, and even though I mostly play a lot of Death Metal, I couldn't stop playing a bunch of Thrash riffs on those guitars.
The inlays are "pearloid" though. That being said the MJ line all have one distinct characteristic and that is that they are built just as good and at times even better than USA made Jacksons. Hell my DKMGT MIJ is one of the best high value guitars and incredible players I have ever had. The neck is near Wizard thin. I am eyeing the MJ SL2.
Overpriced, like the entire market. Thank you Ola for having reasonable prices. I would say only a handful of makers are offering fair prices. Solar, Ormsby, and Dunable, would be the top 3 for me easy. Well done gentlemen!
Almost every Indonesian made guitar falls in the Solar ballpark price wise, like the LTD Deluxe series. Japanese labour is far more expensive and so are are the guitars. In fact, the only thing stopping me from buying a Solar is Indonesian quality control, I wish Ola would go Korean with his brand. Seems like a good middle ground between Indonesia and Japan, every guitar I’ve owned from the Korean WMI factory has been excellent!
I own a 1998 japanese RR3 with floyd rose. Awesome guitar! Neck feels perfect, sounds pretty good and in perfect condition for such a small price. I love it.
I got the budget version (my speed) as a gift from a good friend. A great and very fun guitar to play. Now I will probably put the JB and the Jazz in myself thanks to you. Keep on smashing it Ola. 🤘🏼
Can't believe 10 years ago i had a mij one and paid 600 new. Now they run 2,800 bucks. That is insane. What happened? did guitar inflation go up nearly five times what it use to be. I mean granted i got a great deal at 600 and they were running about 1000 to 1200 bucks at that time but nearly 3 grand is a ripp off. I love the jackson Rhoads modal and others but at those prices you can keep them. great vid Ola. People are barley hanging on in this climate but these guitar Companies think that we are all Rich or something. At this rate i will have to win the lottery to get one. Lol.
Wonderful looking guitar! But more than 2000€ *without* stainless steel frets is a no no ! I'm waiting for an E II Arrow or a Jackson MIJ RR with SS frets. It's time to up their game at this price point.
I picked up a cheap Soloist off eBay for $400 and the neck looks the same but satin so no friction. Plays and sounds freeking awesome. I agree that’s a very high price for that guitar.
Awesome. I recently got a Jackson mg7. Rhoads model seven string oh man I love it. Cool to see you review a Jackson. I’m in love with the v now that I own one
the JB sounds also really good when rolling back the volume and you get PAFesque sounds out of it with the tone rolled down a little as well. My favorite bridge pickup
If it is a MIJ RR5 it is one solid piece of rock maple from headstock to butt, it's neck thru not a set neck. Your RR5 is much BETTER than a mere set neck lol.
Had my transparent black USA made RR1T since 2005 and I don't think I could ever be without it. I swapped out the TB4 and SH2N for some EMG81's I had lying around as a bit of a make work project. Can't really decide if I like them or the Seymour Duncans better, but might put the EMGs in something else if it came along. I also changed it to 2 vol/1 tone when I re-wired it.
Any tips for sitting long time with flying v style guitars. I want a flying v but last time I had on it hurt my back to play in the classical way of holding a flying v. Thank you for your time. Love the videos.
That was the best Demo, I have heard you play. The clarity mid range and highs were amazing. I would like to hear a comparison with the same amp and settings with your Solar guitars vs. the Jackson RRTyou just played.. Your lead sound and playing was amazing. I hope you have that sound on your next Album,
It's the alder body too though. The combination of the wood, pickups, and body mass all contribute. I've owned multiple Rhoads guitars. Nothing tracks fast palm mutes quite like them.
@@DudeMcGuybro And once again, you have no idea what you're talking about. From Jackson's website for this same guitar: BRIDGE PICKUP Seymour Duncan® JB™ SH-4 NECK PICKUP Seymour Duncan® Jazz SH-2N Stop telling people shit that is blatantly wrong.
@@nachtjager109e honestly after the mics and youtubes compression I could see how it's either pickup. Ultimately it sounds like a Rhoads with a Duncan in the bridge.
It's funny, I played an RR3 (or RR5 not sure) once years ago and was really surprised how comfortable it was, and I got some really juicy blues out of it. Great guitar.
I presume that in terms of fit, finish and hardware both are very solid choices. The dealbreaker is the neck shape; ESP and Jackson are VERY different in terms of neck feel.

Lol exact reason I prefer rhoads over the king V. I tried a regular V back in the 90s and found the bottom wing a bit much.
First time I came this early was when I first heard a distorted metal guitar as a kid
So that's why the cd tray sticks. 😕
