The indestructible Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24-MG7 LRL Satin Black with Primer Gray Bevels combines classic slim Jackson handling with the extended range of the 7th string. For sound conversion the Rhoads uses two active EMG humbuckers and furthermore offers a solid hardware setup with locking tremolo, which is suitable for both road and stage.
Neck-Thru construction with extended scale length
The X Series-derived Rhoads relies on a full-length maple neck and an extended scale length of 26.5" to give the low H string additional Attack for tight riffs, while the slimly shaped Speed neck allows for unobstructed fretboard acrobatics. Here, the compound radius, which rises from 12 to 16 inches, also plays an important castor for precise bends and clean layered playing.
Active 7-string EMG humbuckers
In bridge position, an active EMG 81-7H seven-string version of the famous EMG 85 goes to work with a tight and punchy sound for the seventh string, while its counterpart on the neck, the EMG 85-7H neck humbucker provides a warm and full-sounding tone for warm leads and juicy cleans. Both pickups are controlled by a common Volume and Tone knob.
Floyd Rose Special Tremolo
For advanced shred work, a double-locking Tremolo can't be missing, of course! The Floyd Rose Special Tremolo of the Jackson X Series Rhoads RRX24-MG7 LRL Satin Black with Primer Gray Bevels in seven-string version allows playing techniques such as dive bombs or squeals for maximum solo performance.
