- Hi, this is Gus G, guitarist of Firewind. The last few years I've wanted a Randy Rhoads guitar for my collection, purely for historical reasons, considering I've spent a number of years as Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist. My friends at Jackson guitars were kind enough to send me an RR3 model. I made a video of the unboxing process & jammed a few rifts on it too. Hope you enjoy!

Heh, my first guitar was a Randy V Hondo copy, in like 1984 for my birthday. My mom tricked me, she brought me into another room after it seemed like it was over and said she apologized that she couldn't afford to get me a guitar, ( which she probably couldn't) but, when we came out of the room there was this guitar sitting in my chair. I lost my mind it was a RR V. Biggest shock of my life. I had it for like 3 years and then there was this younger kid that loved metal so much that always wanted to hang out with me at school. One time i went to his house and saw his life, he was so poor and it seemed like his mother didn't care about him. Some time after i was to move out of state and i just gifted that guitar to him. The look on his face when i handed it to him was the same look as when i saw it for the first time. Never saw him again but hope he was able to get some joy out of it.
What a nice thing to do! Wow!! I hope that karma follows you throughout your life! Well done, indeed!! Never mind Chickenbeek - you should be called Eagle Wings! You made my day, man!!
Nice bro. God bless you. Spread good vibes. Do you still play?
God is watching......even he fail....but that gift was awesome
Thank you for sharing this. The people we meet along the way. Damn dude, not to use an expletive in such a wonderful testimony, but I am moved as well. Some of those kids who no one seemed to want, found home and acceptance, and most importantly safety in Heavy Metal. Which is odd in light of how much it was attacked and maligned by the supposed "wholesome" traditional community. I guess it's ok to cast people out, be hypocritical, cruel and two faced, but God help those kids if they find home and acceptance on their own, somewhere unsanctioned and uncontrolled by the people who wouldn't have them anyway. Deep kindness exists within all people, but I especially enjoy witnessing it in the setting of metal music community and appreciation. Your Mother was a sweetheart with that gift of love and financial sacrifice, and you continued the gift to the kid with nothing. You have improved my day, thank you.
@@saltpeter7429 Wow. Well Thank You for all the kind comments everyone. Music is the Best!
Gus: Damn what a nice guitar!
Cat: Damn what a nice box!
🤣🤣
hahaha, who has cats knows :D

I gotta a song Request !???
Please Play " Sweet Leaf on that RR guitar!
YESS!)
The cat: Don't care about the guitar, JUST GIVE ME THAT BOX!
I’m the cat in the box?
I thought it was going to use it as a litter tray.
Because cats loves boxes
I hate flying v's. Just give me the cat
@@dormammudarkdimension4555 Yeah somewhere to pee
Anyone who is into the legend Randy Rhoads is good with me. Never really listened to Ozzy with Gus but I'm definitely checking him out.
Imagine if, after being Ozzy's guitarist for a decade, you reveal aren't into Randy haha
I’m a hardcore Randy lover, he’s my biggest inspiration for guitar
Dude
The best ever
dude slayed in all bands he was in
If i lived in the house next to Gus, and he was playing as loud as that, i would almost certainly go round, knock on the door and politely ask him to turn it up!!
Every guitar no matter what brand it is should come in a case!
Exactly
@@southernpride2003 That guitar would have deserved a case for sure. It's not not the guitars fault though...
That's a Double edged sword though
Have you seen the price point for a guitar case for one ?
Watching you play Ozzy riffs just feels right. You always did a great job playing with him.
He reminds me alot of Jake E....
@@BrandonEht Nah. Gus has his own style IMO.
@@DoktorDamage you are so correct… IMO Gus is the next in line other than Randy to be the most talented Ozzy ever had…
@@andydavis2881 hard comparison really... I myself don't think that jake e lee gets enough recognition... he's much more original than gus g for example
Even after all this time...the Rhoads' model is still one of Jackson's top selling guitars....class is timeless.
Gus has a channel. Subbed haha!
It’s cool that Jackson lets you show off any of their guitars, not just your signature. A lot of amazing guitars in their collection.
Gus : Okay , this is fucking cool.
His cat: I agree. I cant wait to sit in it (the box).
I saw him playing with this guitar on 16 December 2022 at the Principal Club , at the concert with Paul Di Anno. Amazing sound!!!
Makes me feel so happy seeing this. 🤘
The unboxing of something you really want is like the magic a 5 year old feels on Christmas morning. 😃 That Jackson is savage. Jackson make brilliant metal and all rounder guitars 👍
Gus I seen you with Ozzy in Indy and you were incredible...thank you for a killer night man! Seeing you with Randys guitar is well....I have tears welling up man, you deserve to be in the lineage of Ozzy's players all of them are in an elite class to the instrument congratulations Gus!!!
You seem so humble. Hopefully I can see your band soon! Your an outstanding guitar player Gus! R.I .P Randy! Jackson for life!
Wtf. A guitar like that should be delivered in a case
First thing I thought
Most high end imports don't come with cases anymore. I was surprised the LTD 600/Artist Sig series came with one, since the 1000 doesn't and they're supposed to be the same tier.
I bought mine from Sweetwater and that's how it came, double-boxed just like in this video. I was shocked at how good the setup was right out of the box-it needed tuning, but the action was perfect, the truss rod was perfect, the pickup heights needed just a tiny bit of tweaking. Frets were level and finished perfectly. Of all my guitars, this is the one I've had to tinker with the least. And yeah you have to order the case separately and that's what I did.
Its free
Ya, nobody besides a Gibson Les Paul comes with a case these days...A Scam Companies slid in on the customer's...Just paid $864 for a new RR24 V, now the case is $200.
I love the Rhoads shape better than a normal V!! ITS so much More comfortable AND balanced! Rock on Gus!! Youll make It scream for sure!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
I guess I didn't get so lucky. I had to move the strap button to the top right screw of the neck plate to avoid neck dive
Stew Pa'Dasso exactly! I own a Washburn V and It cant be positioned diagonally for sitting. 👌👌👌🤦♂️
Wesley Zimmerman Bruh! You’re right! That happens to me too. Ill do that mod too, Thx!
@@wesleyzimmerman94 i had to do the same with my Kelly. It worked out just great . Now i do it with every guitar i get
Wrong!
Shedding tears of joy over here as I watched you open the box. Definitely a spiritual experience.
Great to see you still get excited about a new guitar 🤘👍
As soon as Gus opens the cardboard box, the cat appears on cue. If I fits, I sits.
Insane playing as always Gus! Loving these videos so much!
What a beauty@!!!!! Instantly recognizable. Thank you for a real closeup look. Very inspiring.
Sick !! Gus G has gotten so much sicker on guitar .. been a fan of your playing for so long now !! And the guitar is so sweet!
He got his new toy! And a beautiful toy it is!
Why they didn't sent you an original RR-1 Made In USA model? You deserve the best. You're one of the best guitar players, man!
Gus love seeing you play and reminiscing about your time with Ozzy its the ultimate dream of many metal heads around the world you reached it congratulations and what better hands for that guitar to land on thanks for all the awesome music brother much love from Riverside CA!!
I was very excited to see Gus G was reviewing this guitar. I’m gonna have to pick it up! Love Randy Rhoads.
There is NOTHING on this earth like opening the case of a new guitar.
and finding out it's broken lol
@@nooralamgir3703 That SUCKS! Happened to my brother with a $1,200 Tobias bass. To say he was livid would be an understatement.
In their defense, Tobias came through with a replacement.
how i feel opening a jordan shoe worth 10 grand
@@sedition4267 oh no 😢
This is like finding the cure to cancer
I have a Randy Rhoads guitar signed at my house the jewel of my collection
Wow... this guitar is awesome!!! It is my consume dream since I've started learning how to play it... and this model itself - what an incredible tone! Congrats!!! Have great experiences and recordings with it!!!
Awesome video Gus!!! Randy Rhoads is one of my favorite guitarists from my childhood and now. Keep Shredding it up!!! 🤘🏻
Gus: I AM SO EXCITED
Internet: *hey nice cat*
Gus doesn't give a stuff about RR.
Management has ordered him to milk a dead horse.
@BIG JIMS STRONG wrong.
I’m not having a conversation with you about anything.
This is not an opportunity for you to do anything.
There’s zero reason to speak to you.
2:06 - I like how careful you are with those rubber bands. Respect... 🙏
Had to watch again. Love if seeing you play a floyd. Just a cool cool RRs guitar.
Man, your runs are just killer. Descending and ascending you just rock man. Thanks so much for sharing brother. Stay safe. Regards from southern Indiana USA. .
What a lovely guitar! I love to listen your playing RR3, Great Gus G!👍
Beautiful guitar love RRs they play and feel great!
Love that guitar Gus!
Love your playing too. You're one of THE BEST Ozzy EVER HAD !!! Love your solo work as well.
Happy jamming !!! \,,/..\,,/
So fluid set up from the box. Thanks for that. Let's keep it going.
Enjoyed the variety deco, thanks for honoring Randys Legacy Gus.
Cat is like, "hell yeah RR now let me sleep hooman"
Yeah bro you and i share a love for Randy, and the music he made with Ozzy. Hes smiling down on you Bro. Your talent and skills are extraordinary. Bravo. Your cats were probable watching Randy sitting rite there with you.
What a blessed gift you got my friend. Wow super cool
Such a Awesome Guitar! I need one in my life. Looks and sounds great. Congrats on the new Guitar. 👊😎
There aren't that many Guitarists on this planet that are worthy of this guitar. You're one of them. Subscribed!. Rock it, Gus! :)
Cat: Ah, I see you have brought me a spacious BOX! You've done well human.....
Gus is one of the coolest and down to earth guys on guitar biz I've ever met, and a heck of a player, dude plays crazy good.
Congrats on the RR V! Love my RR JS32! Sounds soooo good thru my ENGL. Cheers brotha😇😎🎸🍺🍺🍺
That's one incredible piece of history, Gus! Very fitting that you should have one. And a Jake E Lee Charvel...and a Wylde Les Paul. Just saying. You may have finally convinced me to get a Jackson (or two...or three).
I second the Jake E Charvel. Best guitar in my collection
and Tony iommi Jaydee old boy sg or tony iommi epiphone sg / Tony iommi monkey so from Gibson
O my God! Finally I found who played Scream Ozzy's album :v fantastic haha Google suggested this video 😂
I've been playing on Jackson guitars for 14yrs and I just recently got a Rhoads too. Such a killer guitar
Keep saving and get a nice case to go with that guitar. Glad you won the contest!
THIS GUITAR LOOKS AND SOUNDS SICK!!!🤘🤘🤘🔥
Wrong!
Wrong! (2)
@@dreyn7780 how?
@@asoiro how?
@@InconsistentCod how? (2)
I can't believe they sent it in a cardboard box & not a hard case
Absolute classic that guitar is, sounds killer man awesome playing as always!
I lived right around the corner from you and Jim at Berklee in the 150 building back in the day... glad you got your Rhoads
That's so cool! I've wanted and RR model since I was a teenager, but never got one. I probably should now? 🤔😁
I was the same. Bought this one. Do it
How was the action straight out of the box ?. Does Jackson set the string height at 1.5 mm ?.
Looks like you're having fun with it man, great!
Yea Gus! It fits you. Your awesome! And your guitar work was excellent on the album " Scream". You Made that album! So rock on sir! Be well!
I guess I am late to the party. I just discovered GUS G. Been watching all his videos. Cool dude and seems down to earth. Thank you for your videos. I am guessing you play classical guitar. It shows. I can always tell a electric guitar player who has studied classical guitar. God bless. You know your modes very well. Awesome
Yeah you've been warned not to worship false idols.
That's nice! I like that, it's good to see a good old fashion Jackson Flying V. All these guitar guys lately have been selling out for sponsorship and playing Dean guitars. Not that they're not good guitars, but when I first started playing bass, Dean was a Sears brand guitar. Their biggest competitor was Oscar Schmidt,
Iconic indeed, hope to have one someday. RR lives on!
I believe Randy would be very proud of your accomplishments as a heavy metal guitarist, playing for Ozzy and for finally getting a Jackson RR3. She's a beauty Gus.
I got my first ever Jackson Rhoads a couple of years ago, a Pro Series RRMG.
I saw Gus g live I believe it was 2010, 2011, or 2012 with ozzy Osbourne in Fort Lauderdale and I though Gus g was amazing 🤘🏻
Well gus now you've got to go get a jake e lee signature charvel whitey be cool to see you do a video on that
What an awesome guitar! It looks and sounds perfect
I wish that youtube had a love button! :) thanks for being amazing Gus!
I'm curious to know what you think about this guitar after having it for a few months now, do you still play it at all? How do you like it after the "new guitar" effect has worn off?
Είσαι θρύλος! Σε αγαπάμε στην Ελλάδα 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Love the shredding on the neck pickup sounds really good
LOVE IT GUS!! LOVE YOUR METAL PLAYING!! SEEN OZZY Black Sabbath LIVE IN MID, LATE SEVENTIES ,AWESOME SHOW!! ALSO LOVE THE OZZY YEARS WITH YOU AS A MEMBER...
I think there should be a series of videos of Ozzy’s various guitarist playing the signature guitars of OTHER Ozzy guitarists. Like Jake playing a Wylde Audio guitar and Zakk playing one of Gus G’s Jacksons
Can you tell your friends at Jackson to send me one? I waited for over a year and those custom shop FKRS didn't even start one mine!
Wow! Great chops, bro... had me geeked
Nice looking guitar. I'm 58 I still remember when Randy died and still love his music today great tribute to a man taken too soon, he was incredible. I remember how hard it hit Ozzy he was devastated.
Came for the guitar, stayed for the cat.
Hey Gus little did a young Randy know how much he would impact so many peoples lives after his death, great video, guitar & playing thx stay heavy!:):)
You weren't even born.
@@dreyn7780 Hey Dude i bought Blizzard of OZZ when it came out in 1980 and still have it today!
@@metalpunk9519 I bet you sold off the LP player that plays it.
With any modern LP player it’s not going to play the original sound.
A sign of success is not whether the new born babies listen to RR.
It’s, Did grandma and grandpa of the 1980’s think much of it?
Clearly, at the time in 1980, they hated it and that never changed.
The music system is right to sell only to new born humans.
It’s kiddies music.
Playing a song one more time for the new borns is just the dumbest thing to do.
In 50 years time, this is still going to be the only music for people to listen to.
It was the last of the people who knew how to be social.
In the exploded ruins of the music scene, people will always be able to find this stuff and nothing else.
There’s no one to have a conversation with.
Nobody knows how to behave around other humans.
This stuff is dead. Gone, just the same as dinosaurs.
All you’re doing is patting yourself on the back.
Standing amongst the nuclear ruins of an old society is what you’re doing.
The mass of the population is fooling you into thinking a certain way.
It never was what rick is saying it was.
That sound has nothing to do with RR. That 2020 version of and old thing has nothing to do with RR.
RR didn’t play with the 2020 version of the guitar and the blacked out thing RR had was, of course, blacked out so nobody actually saw a shape of the guitar cause it was painted in a paint that causes humans to look at other things.
It’s just loozer guss, patting himself on the back again.
This guy wouldn’t have a clue how to be social.
@@dreyn7780 My friend your missing the whole point, it's not about how ,when or were it's about a great place in time in music history, it's like Eddie Van Halen he did it all with a parts guitar that cost him about $75 thx for your reply!:)
Ive had a Jackson RR1 for years now, left handed too. love it!
long live Randy Rhoads! Nice pick mr. G !!
Ωπ !!! Αυτή η κιθάρα έκανε το ντεμπούτο της επί σκηνής στις 14/12 στο Gagarin μήπως, ή κάνω λάθος ?? ;) Χάρηκα που σε είδα με τον Di Anno και την μπάντα ! Πέρασα πανέμορφα !
Ακριβώς! Αυτή είναι 😎👍🏻
Jackson aren't paying me to say their guitars are good, I just like playing their guitars.
Cat instantly wants the boxes, typical kitty XD
Honestly, I don't think you can get more Randy Rhoads then this (besides the limited edition concord they released a few years ago). You think "Randy Rhoads V" and you think the white with pinstripes and gold hardware. Awesome guitar, awesome playing!
Huge fan dude. Great video and awesome guitar. Back in the day I went to a show in São Paulo and saw you playing with Ozzy. Keep the flame burning!
My wife were already a huge Firewind fan, but love Gus G even more because of his cat videos. We wathed Gus G last time live november 2019 in Oslo, but were on Gus G + Kamelot earlier.
Not a huge fan of Rhoads guitars, but this one is just... wow...
Melhores guitarristas que já tocaram com o Ozzy(na minha humilde opinião):
- Randy Rhoads
- Brad Gillis
- Gus G
- Jake E. Lee
I don’t speak Spanish , however , I know exactly what you’re saying ! Great list
@@531ff it's portuguese, close
I may not be portuguese/brazilian but thanks god I know spanish
so I can understand this
@@ibnsina9486 yeah, if you speak spanish then portuguese is by far one of the most simple languages
Sorry Edvan, Jake E. Lee all the way.
I play Jackson for over 13 years and I never thought of changing it! Wonderful guitars! Enjoy your new guitar, Gus!
P.S.: Randy Rhoads' riffing is insane! 🤘
Congrats for the new Eletric Guitar man, i'm sure you will record more videos playing it, regards from Brazil o/
6:45 Jackson still uses the “D” shaped neck?
They keep killing your investment every year.
Guys in Australia can only buy the India Jacksons.
Nobody buys and the stores are forced to close.
Is your wife hanging around sometimes when you do these videos? (Probably in the background rolling her eyes saying to herself "ugh, here he goes again") HAHA
Bought the same RR3 on my birthday this year in August. Absolutely love it.
The bridge pick-up sounds the best to me it just stands out straight away when you change to it 🤘
Congratulations!
Respect to you Gus. Randy inspired us all. RR lives!
The White with gold hardware and black accents are amazing. I hope you make sweet riffs and solos with this !
Good Stuff GUS G..
I Love Your Work With OZZY .. Bravo
Appreciate the TRIBUTE To Randy Rhoades (RIP )
Your FIREWIND work is AWESOME.
A Bunch of INCREDIBLE TUNES there
Keep On Keeping On👊
RELENTLESS
Thanks!
I like that you got this with no sponsor etc. Proves you're a guy with true feelings toward the legendary Randy Rhoads. Subbed. Now, I would need a sponsor in order to afford one but that's a different story!!
He is endorsed by Jackson, has signature models
such an iconic and beautiful guitar..especially with the gold hardware. Every time i see some one play that guitar, i think of RR....such a shame he never got to see any of this happen...
Man, you're an amazing guitar player! 🤘🤘🤘
Guys G is bad ass, he can shred with the best of them. I like how he played the intro to IDK written by RR..I did the same song when I unboxed my JS32Rhoads. Thanks Gus G and all at Jackson USA Cool Share you Rock GG
