Jackson Randy Rhoads

Post by wolfway »

hello all,

i have been playing guitar for about 2 years now, and playing a cheap yamaha pacifica guitar... perhaps soon i wanna buy a new guitar.

i love the look of a randy rhoads guitar, so i was thinking of jackson randy rhoads guitars... now the problem is there are like TONS of different versions of it.

1) what do you guys think of this guitar? good choise? what are it's bad/good qualities?
2) what type/series is the best of this guitar? my max. price would be around 1000 euros.

thanks alot!!

I had 3 different Randies over the years and to make it easy: the more expensive they were, the better they sounded. Playability is superb on this guitar, excellent for super fast solos. But there is one important thing: when playing this guitar you have to stand all the time!!! Of course putting them on your knees while sitting is possible, but not comfortable and playing isnt comfortable then as well. So I would recomment a Randy only if you have at least one other guitar to play and practice with.

About the model: and RR-3 should fit your price limits.

A friend of mine has one and they are a beauty to play! really something else! Again, the whole problem with sitting down and playing is a problem but you get used to it!

I got one but it's not a professional series, I bought it for 250Euro. Even for this series, the guitar is great. I love it.
