Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RR3 Ivory with Black Pinstripes Electric guitar

Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RR3 — A Modern Metal Machine Built for Technical Playing

The Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RR3 in Ivory with Black Pinstripes is the latest evolution of the iconic Randy Rhoads silhouette, designed for players who demand speed, sustain, and high-output tone from a stage-ready instrument. This Rhoads RR3 pairs classic rock style with innovative technology for a purebred machine that proudly exhibits Jackson's deep-running bloodline. The offset "V" body shape is instantly recognizable, while modern appointments make this a serious tool for contemporary metal and hard rock.

What Sets the Pro Rhoads RR3 Apart

Direct-mount Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucking pickups set this model apart, incorporating a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings for well-balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper-midrange harmonic content. Equally distinctive is the Floyd Rose FRT-O3000 recessed double-locking tremolo, a professional-grade design that secures the strings in both the saddle and the locking nut for ultimate tuning stability during aggressive whammy-bar work.

Mahogany Body with Neck-Through Construction — Sustain and Stability

The mahogany body delivers a warm, full-bodied tonal foundation, while the neck-through-body construction creates a single, unbroken path of wood from the headstock through the body for maximum sustain. Finished in gloss with the iconic Ivory with Black Pinstripes colorway, this guitar pays tribute to the original Randy Rhoads aesthetic.

• Body Material: Mahogany — warm, full-bodied foundation with natural resonance
• Body Shape: Rhoads — the iconic offset "V" silhouette
• Body Finish: Gloss — high-shine stage-ready appearance
• Neck-through-body construction with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint — unbeatable stability against temperature and humidity changes

One-Piece Maple Neck with Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard — Speed and Comfort

Engineered for blazing guitar work, the one-piece maple neck features an oiled finish that feels smooth and fast under the fretting hand. The compound-radius ebony fingerboard is more curved by the nut for comfortable chording and flattens out toward the upper frets for fast playing speed and wide bends without fretting out.

• Neck Material: One-Piece Maple — bright, articulate attack with excellent sustain
• Fingerboard Material: Ebony — tight, fast feel with bright tonal response
• Fingerboard Radius: 12"-16" Compound (305-406 mm) — comfortable chording down low, flat-out speed up high
• Scale length sits at 648 mm for familiar string tension across all six strings
• Nut Width: 42.86 mm — comfortable spacing for both rhythm and lead playing

Seymour Duncan Distortion Pickups and Floyd Rose Tremolo — High-Output Tone and Tuning Stability

A pair of Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion humbucking pickups drives the guitar's voice, combining for highly balanced, flexible tone with plenty of high output for pristine cleans and snarling distortion. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series recessed double-locking tremolo adds expressive vibrato with rock-solid tuning performance.

• Bridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6 — high-output ceramic magnet humbucker for searing lead tone
• Neck Pickup: Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6N — matched humbucker for warm, full rhythm tones
• Bridge: Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double-Locking Tremolo (Recessed) — professional-grade tuning stability for dive-bombs and pull-ups
• Gold hardware completes the eye-catching stage appearance
• Strings: Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042) — balanced tension for rhythm and lead playing

Built for Metal and Hard Rock Players Who Demand Speed and Tone

The Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RR3 is the right choice for metal, hard rock, and shred players who need a stage-ready instrument with high-output tone, rock-solid tuning stability, and a fast-playing neck. It suits guitarists who appreciate the iconic Randy Rhoads aesthetic and want a guitar that looks as aggressive as it sounds. Intermediate to advanced players will find the compound-radius fingerboard ideal for technical fretwork, while the Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups deliver the searing lead tone that defines modern metal.

Jackson Guitars and the Randy Rhoads Legacy

Since the late 1970s, Jackson has been a defining force in metal and hard rock, building instruments for players who push the boundaries of speed and technique. The Rhoads body shape, originally designed with legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads, has become one of the most recognizable silhouettes in heavy metal. Jackson's hallmark styles — from gold hardware to unique inlays and pointed 6-in-line headstock — have spawned many imitators, but none comes close to the original metal machines.
