Dear Jackson, Make More Guitars Like This!

- Listen Jackson, I know we've strayed from the path a little bit... The guitars are getting less metal these days, and the lack of reverse headstocks is worrying. But let's make more guitars like this, OK?

Randy liked the 2 volumes so he could use the pickup selector as a stutter switch. Used to do that on his Les Pauls too, which is why he had Jackson set it up that way when they designed the first Concorde. And his further refinement of the offset V only needed one tone, but still had two volumes. Keeping in mind, this is pre-killswitch.
Jackson's rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎🤘
Yeah, Fender is a great company.
@@zeroman614 better at making other guitar's than their own. Lol
agreed
I would like a King V like this.
I have a 1998 Randy Rhoads RR3 MIJ I bought 20 years ago, which has an Alder body with satin chrome hardware. The great thing about two volume knobs is that you can blend in a bit of the neck pickup. It's good to see they brought a good design back from the dead.
Great video as usual Taylor. That would be great if you make an update or review your guitars collection thank you. keep up the great work bro.
Dude, it was cool seeing you do some thrash style riffs! Sounded killer...🤘
Man, I want that V! I love the fretboard with black shark fins.
Good stuff, T.
I love Jacksons! I've been playing them off and on for 38 years. V's, Performers, Dinkys, and now play on the DK3M HSS. Jackson just kicks some ass.
I always liked Blackouts more than Emg 81's, has more low end chunk that the Emg's seem to purposely remove to keep it more mid focused. Haven't had any issues at stage volume although I do have a gate in front AND behind the amp to make it super quiet. Love the RRX24's, had my eye on the green and pink one for a while but ended up with an arrow 1000 instead.
Arrows are really nice!
I got the matte army green one.
It's got a lot of nice features for less than a grand after taxes and shipping. Definitely worth the $900 if anyone is thinking about making the purchase.
This is an excellent version of the Rhoads. I bought this guitar specifically considering the weight of the guitar and easy hot rod mods. This guitar shreds. It's built well. And easy guitar to modify just pop the parts on switch pickups or whatever. The tuners work well I appreciate the accuracy when changing strings. A solid foundation to build a light weight hot rod that rips hard. I pair it with the Peavy invective mini head with the 2x12 cabinet. The thing rips hard. And I don't get tired standing with it as I usually stand no matter what guitar I play so the weight is noticeable and I really appreciate the light weight.
Just bought one of these, it’s on the way. Can’t wait!
Excellent vid man! Have really been enjoying your content keep up the great work! PS would love to see a Bad Cat Lynx review I just got one myself rock on brotha!
I got myself the black and pink one while it was still being made, great guitar. De-gunked the back of the neck and tuned to D for learning CoB riffs on.
💪
I have the exact same model and it's highly enjoyable to play. I also have two Japanese made Rhoads EX models from 1994 (a Professional and a Performer series)
Cool love Jacksons!!! V's are great!!! Cool tone!!!!
I have the one with the green accoutrements: I love it. I love the sound of the blackouts, just don’t wanna mess with a battery anymore, so black winters will be going in it soon.
@@NoQuadsNoMasters ive got the same guitar. I've been thinking about putting in bare knuckle.Unity pickups to replace the blackouts. And replacing the slide pickup selector with a toggle switch
Sick guitrrrrr dude. I want a new reverse headstock on mine since this one looks so amazing 🤘🤘
It really ties the room together lol
Im a huge fan of the Blackouts, personally. I think they're underrated. I just love how much punch they have, and the notes seem to "pop" especially for lead. Tons of sustain, and a nice warm, but tight lower midrange. I saw trivium play, and thier lead guitarist has them in his guitar, and i could hear him cut through the mix SO well, wheras i couldnt hear mat at all, and he was using fishmans.
Every band ive heard use blackouts live, i can always tell. Maybe my ears are just tuned to that frequency, but idk, just love them. Great video man! If my house burns to the ground, and id have to start over, id totally grab this jackson!
I'm also a huge fan of Blackouts. The reason they're underrated is that for most people, EMG's are heavy enough. Most guitars came with EMG's too.
Pros: Seymour Duncan pickups, Shape, colour, compound radio fretboard, headstock, jack placement.
Cons:
Floyd Rose Special, those don't last (Should be a 1000, 1500 or Gotoh).
Pickup rings (Direct Mount Pickups always look better in my opinion)
That third pot used for volume is too close to the where you pick.
Frets aren't stainless steel.
I have basically the same guitar just a 7 string 26.5” scale with Emg 81/85 and it’s my baby!
I own one of those, and I really love it.... I did put an original Floyd in it and mine is actually heavy, but recently had it tuned down to g with a 74 and a set of 60s and the damn thing stayed in tune...I could have gotten it lower but I jumped ship threw on a 64 with a set of 56s for g# 2 days ago and almost immediately went into stable tuning. Definitely needed 2 noise gates on my gt1000 straight into a daw to get rid of noise, but wow does that guitar roar.
Sounds good man 👍
Played one the other day. For $800, it's actually really good. The pickups are very hot, but I managed. It's much heavier than I was expecting. It's heavier than my Les Paul is. But that's fine. I abused the floyd but it held tune, extremely rare for a special. My only complaints with the guitar is the blade switch. I hate blade switches, and the 2nd volume knob. I was hitting one of the knobs a few times. Other than that, I recommend
I have the same one but with the yellow bevels, it's really solid
💪
The one with pink binding is awesome. Also, the only model of guitars which offer blackouts at this time
I love my white V from them. It's my favorite guitar.
what a beauty!
I have that very guitar. I'm ready to switch from the EMGs in my other 3 guitars to the Blackouts. I absolutely love those pickups.
is the floyd rose a pain?
@@pagesofsoliloquy1442
I've been using them for over 30 years so I'm familiar with them to the point of not really having to think much about it, BUT they can be a pain in the ass if you decide to switch tunings and/or string guages. Tuning stability is awesome with them and I've never had an actual Floyd give me problems.
Ace frehley was doing toggle switch way back before your parents even met! And Randy Rhoads also did toggle switch effects too,Iasked Tom Morello myself at a Rhoads memorial,Randy was my teacher also! Do you even know who Randy Rhoads is. Just some info for you!
You should go through the AXE FX III once in a while and maybe show some settings that you use 🤘🎸
I try to change it up as much as possible, but I do have an axefxiii centric video coming.
Hell yes!!
I mean.....It's a V...half the battle is won at that point 🤘🤘
Nice looking guitar for sure and decent specs for the price. I’ve had an eye on it a few times. Think I prefer the king V over the RR, I have an RR24 pro that I never fully gelled with for some reason.
King V's are cool. They're more symmetrical, which I feel like is naturally pleasing.
I jus got a jackson js32 mah with a floyd
for 300 imma upgrade all the hardware and pickups to some seymour duncan invaders with a split coil knob, itll really slay ive always wanted an offset v they look so cool
it's mighty dark for randy, but awesome for the more extreme end of things, that's the first time i can remember seeing black inlays on a dark finger board, it looks cool, i hope they bring out a kelly like that
I have the exact same guitar and amp and I plug in to the active side of the Randall satan and have no issues with it being that hot. I love Seymour Duncan blackouts I also use the active input on the satan with my Nazgul and Sentient pickups as they are hot too so helps tame the beast. Killer video
🤘💀🤘
Ah, the old “using the amp the way it’s meant to be used” move. Classic.
@@TaylorDanley give it a try should help...haha
What do you think of Hughes & kettner amps? I just got a grandmeister 36 for 900 bucks yesterday and I'm still messing with it.
Just bought one. Worth every penny.
Hey man, a sharp question. Do you know if the floyd inserts are screwed in the poplar or if they are screwed into the neck through ?
Damn you always make your tone sound so great! Sick riffing please tell me what song if any your were playing at 4:10. Very dark.
I've been trying to focus more on "if it sounds and plays good, then it's good", but as a huge guitar nerd I find the specs really interesting.
You got "lower end" woods like poplar and laurel, but you also have it in a neck through configuration with a compound radius and genuine Blackouts. Compared to other guitars in this price range it feels like they could've made this a bit cheaper to compete, but it's Jackson and current guitar economics exist. Great vid, keep up the amazing work!
I have no issues with the wood playing this guitar. Doesn't feel like it's low end at all. I love Laurel Fretboards. This guitar was actually around 729.99 back in 2020 but went up in price just like every other guitar company did. Fender, Gibson, ESP, Kiesels, Solar, etc all raised their prices. For the price I thought this guitar is right so I disagree there. Especially when you compare it to the LTD brand who sells their guitars more than what Jackson has this it. Same with Solar who has worse QC than jackson does
I've this got this guitar and it's great I just really wish it had an ebony fret board..
Just bought a Pro RR24 in Maul Crackle last week. Can confirm great guitar. Not a huge fan of painted necks usually they are sticky and slow. This one is fine. It's not like a MIJ Ibanez wizard neck fast but it's fine.
Yeah same, this painted neck doesn't bother me at all... I think it just depends on the guitar.
I agree about blackouts. They’re noisy as hell. I’d swap them out for the classic 81/85 combo.
I’ve been thinking about getting either a Pro Series RR3 or a RRX24, I love both and money is not the issue. I just don’t know which one to get
yeah, those pups on this V are too hot, have you found ways to deal with this ? I try backing off bass/ low end frequency while boosting a little high but could not help much
what is this killer riff in the intro of the video, i would like to jam it on my own
need more 7s like that too
I am personally a big fan Jackson X series guitars. They look great, play great, and make for great upgrade/modding platforms at wallet friendly price.
Sick The Void shirt too dude!
I had the exact same guitar. I just couldn't deal with the painted+gloss neck so I sold it.
Next time look up how to degloss a neck. It's really easy, and not only can you make it smooth and satin, it's possible to polish it back to gloss if you want to make it original for resell purposes.
I love lamp!
Using an emg solderless wiring kit with those blackouts will help.
Riff @4:15?
I want one with an alder or mahogany body.
Hopefully it doesn't dent as easy
Poplar is not popular, but it is cheaper and it makes the guitar a little lighter. As far as tone, I have no issues with my Jacksons.
Basswood, Poplar or Mahogany or Maple or Alder... it really doesn't matter to me as long as I have the right combination of pickups, amp, and effects. I'm surprised to get as good of a sound as I do given my budget. I have 13 guitars, several amp modelers and pedals and amplifiers. Different combos to work with and each with their own distinctive sound. It's fun.
As for that RR24X you're playing, it really doesn't sound that much different that any other RR V I've heard with active pickups. It looks cool but that's it. I myself don't care for active pickup. They sound unnatural to me. I used to have EMGs in an old guitar. Swapped em out for DiMarzios that sounded way better for what I was doing at the time.
Everybody has their own preferences.
Tone woods aren’t really a thing
Especially under high gain drop tunings
Jackson is the Metal guitar king🤘
Very nice looking guitar, but I never liked blackouts...does It neck dive?
Not really, it's so light that the friction of the strap on your arm will keep it in place.
hey man does the neck feels sticky or slips just fine??
and oh you haven't divebomb / squeeled the floyd?😢
I love that guitar honestly. I am not a big fan of that amp though. I played the smaller version and had access to it during a recording session... basically every other amp we had sounded better in the mix (xxx, blue voodoo, jcm 2000...) its just really sterile sounding to me
A sweet guitar!
My main guitar!!!
Sick guitar. And if anyone in the comments are in the Portland OR area, next Saturday 10/21, Taylor's band, Sacrificer, will be playing live at The Highwater Mark with No Living Witness and my band, Chronic Illness.
I like the RR design and the reverse headstock but I prefer Ebony fretboards or Richlite in lieu of that. Also it's got to have the MOP regular shark fins (not reversed) and Jackson logo with bound fretboard, just isn't a Jackson to me without those things. Also they have pickup rings which is a dated look although it does make pickup changes easier.
I'm still hoping Jackson will make a multiscale Rhodes V.
I honestly never really likes the look of the Rhodes V over the King V, but when I saw the Ormsby Metal V 6 multiscale, I realised that I do like the shape when it has fanned frets. Ever since I've been wanting a 6 string multiscale Rhodes V from the OG Rhodes brand... Also not wanting to pay 2k for one lol.
Taylor playing minus blindfold what!!!!!!!!!!!?? Awesome bro!
You caught it. I've been jamming to that since the 90's haha
@@TaylorDanley me too learned album front to back!
🤘🤘🤘
I just wish more companies would make baritones in V shapes. There is a new RR baritone 7 string. Some deathcore bands guitar player signature model. I don't wanna play a signature or a black guitar. But that might be my only option if I wanna tune low. I don't like 8-strings. 7 is fine but I'd prefer a 6.
If only those had ebony or maple fretboards. The red one looks sick but I just dont love laurel fretboards they are not terrible just kinda look weird to me.
Got that guitar love it😂
💪
Wish Jackson would do more reverse headstock guitars. Miss mine, got smashed by an ex. Oof.
pickups definitely need to go. wonder if theres a lefty version. not finding any.
Jackson rules, but PLEASE NO MORE REVERSED HEADSTOCKS!
I like em think it looks cool, but it messes with me when I'm tuning it.
Reverse king v x series is needed
nice Deftones riff'n :)
Glad you caught it! 💪
Mud Killer, yeah!!!
Sick deftones riff 5:57
Niceee
The body is like an arm rest, for those who play standing with it high enough
04:09 what's the song? Someone?
“Hail” by my band Sacrificer
@@TaylorDanley I know what I'm gonna do tonight 🤣💪👌 thank u. How is it the tune stability on this Jackson im considering to buy one
@@dav_e98 about the same as any other Floyd Rose Special equipped guitar I’ve tried. Tuning is fine, but they really need to be dialed to return to 0 reliably
Ikea wood
Orribile quality controll
I try many in different shops... Same problems...
When they came out price was reasonable (550e.) but now.... Total waste of money
Another pointy beast! Good for skewering that dude that keeps yelling "play some Motley Crue" at yer' Death Metal show.
Yes, add to the arsenal! lol
real
Waving that headstock that close to amp gives me anxiety attacks 😏
Me too watching it back lol
Poplar swells like a mfer in the Gulf Coast humidity. That's a no go for me bro 😞
They make this stuff called damprid
Is yours sealed?
Really? That's crazy. I'd bet just maintaining guitars with a high humidity climate in general is a challenge.
@@TaylorDanley Temperature control and dehumidification is a priority. I just found the poplar wood, particularly on bolt on guitars, swell a lot more resulting in finish checking, even chipping. The set neck guitars fair a bit better, but the checking is noticeable around the pickup cavities, and the control knobs/pup selectors. That’s just a thing in the south.
No don't make more RRX24s. That Poplar material is horrible and these are extremely delicate. Amazing design, very questionable build materials. I bought two of them and one of them chipped slightly in the official gigbag after handling with consideration of the guitar. Then I upgraded to official Jackson hardshell case and it broke even more in the hardshell case this time with the entire end of the large fin. Also dont get the old v shaped version of the Rhoads/King V case, get the new one that is more sleek and I think it costs mine way more. I still have one of these guitars in a hardcase in red with upgraded Floyd Rose OG and I am scared to even play it, it just stays in the case. I hope Jackson upgrades the wood because poplar is not sufficient for this shape due to the thinness of the points. This has also been an issue on their Rhoads/King V models for like 40+ years now?????
I just wish we could get more without a reversed headstock. I love my RR24Q. Would love it more with a non-reversed headstock. Poop-lar? Too bad 😞
I only play early 2000's Japanese Jacksons when they made solid well built guitars
First
I love Jackson but that Floyd Special is garbage
Reverse headstocks look so wrong on Rhoads shapes, to me at least. It breaks the 'flow' of the shape.
Don't really like the pickups.
Sorry Dude it sounds awful 😢 I have several Jackson’s so I know what they sound like but this one it seems something’s wrong with it. Greetings from Holland.
The best low/mid budget Jackson rhoads you can buy in my opinion.
