Get to know them!





With a nod to 1990s-era import Jacksons, the MJ Series Rhoads RRT is a solidbody electric guitar with classic heavy metal stylings. This premium Japanese-built axe exudes instant attitude, thanks to its offset V-shaped body, while its compound-radius fretboard provides the perfect platform for unleashing furious riffage and shred-approved pyrotechnics. The MJ Series Rhoads RRT is teeming with rod-rodded humbucker tone, courtesy of its Seymour Duncan pickups, and you'll appreciate its sustain-inducing graphite-reinforced through-body neck, which is effectively enhanced by its TOM-style adjustable bridge and anchored tailpiece. The Jackson MJ Series Rhoads RRT includes rock-solid Gotoh sealed die-cast locking tuners, convenient Luminlay side dots, and aggressive-looking pearloid shark fin fingerboard inlays.

Compound radius is perfect for riffing and soloing





The MJ Series Rhoads RRT sports a compound-radius ebony 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 high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out ? providing you with the best of both worlds.





An aggressive, versatile pair of Seymour Duncan pickups





The Jackson MJ Series Rhoads RRT is loaded with a set of aggressive yet versatile Seymour Duncan humbuckers. The JB Model SH-4 bridge pickup supplies you with the classic sound of a hot-rodded humbucker, boasting plenty of output without sacrificing tone. Experience a powerful blend of harmonics, sustain, and distortion that's great for everything from heavy blues to heavy metal. The Jazz Model SH-2n neck pickup is full and bright with smooth sustain ? the perfect choice for fast runs and neck-position leads. It's also great for clean rhythm playing. These high-octane pickups give you plenty of punch and serious bite ? just what you need to take a ride on the crazy train.





Through-body maple neck delivers epic sustain





From the tip of its headstock to the ends of its pointy wings, the MJ Series Rhoads RRT is set up for out-of-this-world sustain. First, there's its through-body maple neck, which keeps your strings humming intensely with every note. What's more, a TOM-style adjustable bridge and anchored tailpiece provide excellent vibration transfer between the guitar's strings and its body. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate how the MJ Series Rhoads RRT enables your notes to last for what seems like forever.
