As sleek as an airliner and as iconic as the artist who inspired and co-designed-the oft imitated, but never surpassed Randy Rhoads-the X-Series Rhoads RRXT LH is a slick, stylish guitar that packs fearsome tone and speedy playability into a compact package designed for left-handed players. As affordable as it is powerful, this axe is ready to scream and blaze all night long.
A duo of Duncan Designed HB103 high-output ceramic humbucking pickups generates clearly defined tones-ideal for pushing an amp into blissfully crunchy overdrive while retaining highly dynamic articulation. The basswood body has a crisp, defined tone that plays well with heavy distortion and crystalline clean tones and the speedy one-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods refuses to budge, no matter how much environmental stress it's exposed to while the neck-through design offers superior sustain and increased playability. A 12-16"-compound radius fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and classic Jackson pearloid sharkfin inlays graces the neck with the perfect launching pad for fleet riffing, complex chords and fiery leads. The dense chords found in today's music require pinpoint accurate intonation to retain their clarity, and the Jackson compensated and adjustable strings-through-body bridge grants precise intonation, along with enhanced sustain.
Reach for the Rhoads RRXT whenever you find yourself in need of a guitar with classic metal style, including the beveled body and ever-popular pointed 6-In-Line headstock, and epically monstrous tone.
Name-Brand Pickups and Hardware
Jackson X series models feature a selection of EMG and Duncan Designed humbucking pickups for unparalleled tonal versatility from clean to heavily distorted. All tremolo-equipped models feature Floyd Rose Special bridges.
Graphite-Reinforced Neck-Through Design
True neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980. For greater playability and sustain, X Series models feature a neck-through design usually reserved for much more expensive instruments. Further, graphite support rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.
Compound-Radius Fingerboards
X Series models feature compound-radius fingerboards. Jackson pioneered the use of this innovative design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.
Gorgeous Jackson Style
The X Series presents a wealth of distinctive Jackson stylistic options from the subdued to the striking. Sharkfin or "piranha" fingerboard inlays. The traditional Jackson six-in-line headstock or an AT headstock with tuners on either side. Deep solid colors or beautifully figured tops. The X Series has something for everyone.
