It has a bolt-on neck, it has licensed floyd rose trem.
Semour duncan passive pickups, SH2 and a Jazz i believe, not sure thou.
It has 1 master volume and 2 tones i think, black pickguard.
There is a sticker on the guitar that says "made in japan". 22 fretboard with sharkfin pearl inlays.

So my question is, what jackson RR guitar is this ? Cant identify it with any model randy rhoads in jacksons own site. help fast since im thinking of buying it!

Cant upload images now apparantly.
But it has black mechanics, and body is in solid black finish, it has locking nuts for the strings where head meets neck.

like in this link, but with floyd trem, and 22 fretboard, and locking nuts etc.

Guitar worth buying ?
According to forums it seems japan made guitars is almost same quality as usa made ones built wise, anyone that can confirm this ?

And if its not worth buying pls tell me why. 540 dollars is the price for it.
Its being used by one previous owner, told me he bought it new 2.5 years ago.
Does serial number tell something about how old the guitar is etc ?

Thanks for fast reply.

Well, the black hardware indicates it was built after 2008, and yes, the build quality is awesome.. I have 4 MIJ Jacksons and they are all of awesome quality and playability.

If it has the case with it, it's even better yet.. Warning about the Rhoads body style, though, it will not sit on a regular guitar stand if you use one.

Yeh, i get the jackson original rhoads hardcase in on the price.
Thinking of getting a stand mounted to the wall so you just can hang it there for short breaks, back in the case if i know im not gonna play for a couple of days.

Thanks again for fast replies. Really helped me out!
So in a couple of days im a Jackson randy rhoads owner :)
