Randy Rhoads didn't like several aspects of the white Jackson® offset V RR1, so he commissioned Grover Jackson once again to craft him another guitar, the black Jackson® offset V RR2. According to Rhoads, the fretboard went too far into the body of the white Jackson® RR1, making it much more difficult to reach the higher frets. The black Jackson® RR2 allowed for much more travel up the neck of the guitar. Secondly, the new RR2 would have more definition on the upper wing than the RR1 to avoid any confusion between Jackson's custom masterpiece and a Gibson V.
Grover Jackson had plans to build Rhoads two more guitars, but he waited until he received proper feedback from Rhoads about The black Jackson® RR2. Randy was able to call Jackson and give him his criticism on RR2, but due to his unfortunate passing on March 19th, 1982, Randy Rhoads never received the next two guitars. Grover put away the next two guitars, RR3 and RR4 until the NAMM show. At the NAMM show, the Jackson® RR3 Prototype was accidentally sold - this is the Jackson® guitar RR3 that is now being offered for sale. Randy Rhoads commissioned these Jackson® guitars and they were designed by both Randy Rhoads and Grover Jackson. The Rhoads family is in possession of the first Jackson® guitars, RR1 and RR2. The RR3 Jackson® features innovations such as an Ebony fingerboard with a graphite nut, neck-through-body construction, Seymour Duncan pickups, strings through body construction, an angled headstock, custom brass hardware, high fret accessibility, Charvel/Jackson®'s neck radius, and one volume knob and one tone knob. This custom guitar has no serial number and has a hand-painted Jackson® logo. Custom-made guitar case included.
