The Jackson JS32 Rhoads left-handed solidbody electric guitar gives you instant attitude both sonically and visually. The amazingly affordable JS32 Rhoads serves up thick, snarling tone and prodigious sustain courtesy of its resonant, lightweight poplar body and two toasty humbuckers. You'll relish in the uber-playability of the maple neck. And the fat-fretted compound-radius fingerboard lets you chord blissfully and shred without fretting out. There's also a Floyd Rose vibrato to provide you with smooth, solid pitch dexterity. This axe will command attention wherever you wield it. Say hello to your new weapon of choice: the Jackson JS32 Rhoads.





Compound-radius fingerboard boasts the best of both worlds





The Jackson JS32 Rhoads sports a compound-radius amaranth fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12-inch radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, and high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out. It's the best of both worlds. It's this kind of playability that has made the compound-radius fingerboard a favorite at Sweetwater.





Maple speed neck and Floyd Rose vibrato mean prodigious sustain





From bow to stern, the Jackson JS32 Rhoads is set up for mammoth sustain. You get a maple speed neck (one of the hardest tonewoods around) and a Floyd Rose-licensed double-locking vibrato bridge. Top that off with two attitude-laden, high-output Jackson humbuckers with ceramic magnets, and you get a recipe for serious sustain.





If looks could kill...





If you're after a guitar that looks as mean as it sounds, then Sweetwater has your axe. The Rhoads's body shape alone is enough to convey instant attitude. Throw in Jackson's distinctive pointy headstock and shark fin inlays, and you've got one arresting-looking guitar. The Jackson JS32 Rhoads is one of the sharpest-looking guitars around: a serious axe wielder's instrument of destruction. Exactly what you've been looking for, right?
