built 190 days ago
Randy Rhoads is pictured here playing the very first ever Jackson guitar, built for him by Grover Jackson. There is a limited run of exact duplicates that was released by Jackson around 2005. They retailed at the time for approximately $7,000.00.

Towards the end of the United States "Blizzard of Ozz" tour, Randy once again went to Grover Jackson to have another custom guitar made. He complained that too many people thought his white "Jackson" was a flying-V. He wanted something more distinctive. A few weeks later, Randy and Kevin DuBrow went to look at the unfinished guitar that Grover Jackson had begun work on. Once in the wood shop, Randy and Grover Jackson began drawing on this unfinished guitar for close to an hour before a final design was decided upon. There are two stories as to how the guitar was actually cut:

Unique body cutouts take this gorgeous Randy Rhoads into its own universe of cool. EMG humbuckers pump out lots of high-end sparkle on a foundation of bold bass tones. The phenomenal finish plus ebony fretboard with sharkfin inlays make it certain nobody will mistake it for an ordinary guitar. Floyd Rose vibrato and single volume knob with 3-way selector. A well-balanced, resonant, and toneful beauty. Jackson's compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out.
