Jackson Announces MJ Series Rhoads

Continuing upon the metal legacy pioneered by the immortal Randy Rhoads, here’s what’s different about this series:

  • Resonant basswood body and a through-body three-piece maple neck with graphite-reinforcement rods for ultimate stability
  • Hosting 22 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard is an ideal surface for comfortable chording near the nut and effortless soloing on the higher registers
  • The bridge position roars with hot-rodded attitude and a powerful low end with a Seymour Duncan JB SH-4 bridge, while the neck position radiates with glassy treble tone and scooped mids from the Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2N neck pickups that deliver tonal clout

Harkening back to the early ‘90s when import Jackson® guitars were manufactured exclusively in Japan, we introduce the all-new Jackson MJ Series — an exciting and innovative collection of instruments attentively crafted in Japan. The MJ Series blends Jackson’s world-renowned legacy of designing high-performance instruments with an assortment of top-tier features at a competitive price point.

Continuing upon the metal legacy pioneered by the immortal Randy Rhoads, the MJ Series Rhoads RRT features a resonant basswood body and a through-body three-piece maple neck with graphite-reinforcement rods for ultimate stability. Hosting 22 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard is an ideal surface for comfortable chording near the nut and effortless soloing on the higher registers.

A three-way pickup toggle switch, single pickup volume knob and single tone knob allow for flexible control.
