The Jackson Randy Rhoads was the signature electric guitar model of guitarist Randy Rhoads. It is said he drew it while sitting on a rollercoaster.
It features 2 humbuckers, and often a Floyd Rose tremolo. The guitar usually has 24 frets, but in certain series, it is featured as a 22 fret model. The headstock is typical Jackson and some series have a reversed headstock. You can also choose the reversed headstock on a custom guitar, but then the expense increases a little.
This model was Jackson Guitars' first model. It was, and still is, a very popular model.
