jackson rr3, thinking of buying one

[KenShiRo]

been learning guitar for a few months now, i've been borrowing my mates old bc rich warlock bronze and it weights a ton, i saw a jackson rr3 in a shop and i tried it and really liked it, was just wonder of everyone elses opinions on it

like whats the licenced floyd rose on it like? the guitar costs about £360 (british) on the net, was wondering if anyone knew of a guitar that would give me more for my money although i do like the position of the neck while sitting down playing it

oh and how easy would it be to change the pickups in the future, say from the cheap seymour duncans to some good seymour or to active emgs like an 81 and an 85

I think you can get better guitars...
And i think that for those active emg's you'd need to route the body...but i'm no expert, so don't trust anything I say concerning guitar quality and technical bullshit

 

[The Leper]

I dont think you need to route the body to put active emgs in a RR3... Humbuckers are humbuckers, the only difference with EMGS is the ceramic coating on the outside.

can you fit the 9v battery in the control cavity? if not, you gotta route the body to put in a battery holder.

i also wanna buy a rr3 and put a emg hz in it.

i got an js30r. it isnt an rr1 but it is still awesome. i'm not sure it it is better or not but it is like 430 U.S.D. but i love it. it doesn't have the tremeolo system but im not found of them anyway. but if the rr3 is like mine i defiantly recommend it. i was thinking of putting in some seymour jb and jazz pups.

oh anyone know where i can find a guide about floyd bridges, i know u got the locking nuts at tail end of the guitar (whatever its called) i aint got a clue about the bridge though, i best learn about it so i dont snap a string and look like a muppet

i will also get a jackson rr3 black and get two white pin sripes and install and EMG HZ_H4

 

[Lord Hasselhoff]

I hate cheap Jacko RRs and I don't suggest anyone getting one just because it seems good to you now. When you get more skill and start to develop you're style you're gonna need a guitar that gives you what you need.

"get the best..."

 

[Bastard child]

yeah! That's on roope t-shirt in passage to the reaper

 

[-Gavin-]

It's the old jackson motto.

 

[Justinschut]

before Fender took over ?

 

[-Gavin-]

yeah, i think they ahd to tone it down a bit

 

[TheSeldomlaid]

As for the rr3, get it. As long as you like it, that is.

 

[deathxunlimited]

^ yea i agree, but try to play one first before you go out and buy one online. make sure you like it, and its what you want. i mean i have a jackson kelly which i installed an 81 and an 85 in, and an ESP neckthru with HZ's, and i used to favor jacksons bolt on feel, but recently i like the ESP and the neckthru, it plays alot smoother for me.

a friend of a friend had this cheapo average guitar with him in a bar after a performance tonight, maple fretboard, oh it was horrible to play on, although i dont think all that jack daniels i'd drank really helped, i dont think i like standard guitar shapes to play with sitting down, probably cos i'm used the shape of this bc rich warlock bronze i've been borrowing for a few months

i tried that jackson rr3 again last weekend, i still think its oh so nice!
