Jackson Brings Iconic Rhoads to American Series Lineup

“The American Series Rhoads was created to bring the legendary shape that metal guitarists have coveted for decades to a new generation,” said Jon Romanowski, VP of Product, Jackson. “Built in the U.S., this premium guitar is engineered for players who demand uncompromising metal tone and performance.”

The American Series Rhoads is available in two models: the RR24 and RR24 HT, with the bridge being the main difference between them. The RR24 HT features a Hipshot hardtail bridge made for rock-solid tuning stability and ease of use for string changes or for drop tunings on the fly. This guitar is available in Satin Black and Snow White. The RR24 takes a different approach with its recessed 1500 Series Floyd Rose® double-locking tremolo system for dive bombs, squeals and flutters while staying in tune through brutal playing. This tremolo-equipped model is available in Satin Black, Matte Army Drab and Snow White.

To introduce the legendary American Rhoads series, Jackson has partnered with metal virtuosos and signature artists, Brandon Ellis and Jeff Loomis. Both Ellis and Loomis continue to leave an indelible mark on the metal genre through their revolutionary playing styles and technical mastery. The Rhoads shape continues to empower guitarists to push the boundaries of heavy music, delivering crushing tone and uncompromising performance. This collaboration reinforces Jackson's commitment to supporting the artists who define modern metal while honoring the legacy of one of guitar's most influential innovators.
