  • JACKSON <333333

  • Awesome Jam dude! :D

    I have a special request for you... could you scan (w/ scanner) the string plate or at least sketch it with some measurements and send the file on my e-mail mxr_26@hotmail.com

    I would really apreciate your time for doing that and will be most thankfull!!! cheerz!

  • @mxr088 Sorry for the late answer, but what do you mean by String Plate? Don't think we use the same word in Danish ;)

  • Yeah I bought the same RR5 with EMGS installed, this guitar with those EMGS got sustain for days, I just put that same Marshall JvM on layaway, hope it sounds good with my genz benz G Flex cab.

  • I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS OF YOUR GEAR! I wish i could afford it...

  • Hmmm i like what you played! Dimebag's live solo he would play during his glam days, you also played and excersize from speed machanics for lead guitar, and the little intro to the main riff of am i evil! nice man i like it!

  • does it have binfing on the neck or is it just wood??????? oh and is the neck painted thanks man great guitar and good choice in amps

  • thats one of the shittiest tones i have ever heard

  • You must have it on some shitty settings, my Marshall MG100 sounds better than this one, but I know JVM is way better than the MG series. Obviously big price difference, so it'd better be better.

  • I'm thinking of getting this in black. :) I play most types of metal so would it be a good investment? :)

  • Dude i have a few question.. how much did it cost the guitar?.. and that same model is able with floyd rose?

  • Dude i really liked your guitar but i got a few question.. first of all.. how much does it cost.. and second.. that same model is on sale with floyd rose..?

  • Awesome guitar man, I'm doubting to buy one of those myself. Currently in possession of the just as awesome Jackson RR24M, which is a beast at metal, but another A-class RR model (this time without trem, to practice with different tunings) would be most welcome. How are your experiences with this guitar? Is it a def. recommendation?

    Kind regards,

    Aartsbok

  • @Aartsbok .. Well it's an amazing guitar, though somewhat unruly at times. The design is making the head tilt a little, so if you don't hold it by the neck, it will slowly descend... The fretboard is flat, and not curved, like on a gibson or other, which makes it easy to do some routines, but a little more difficult at other routines... The design also makes it very easy to play up to the 22th fret (max). When compared to a Les Paul, the sound is somewhat more flat. Other than that, it's AWSOME!

  • @Aartsbok If it helps any to get another opinion I've got a RR5 and I love it. It plays great and sounds great for metal/rock type its really second to none. The only problem I had with it were the pickups were very hot and very limited to metal/rock lol I ended getting an LP as my main guitar but I still use my RR5 as backup or for heavier songs. All in all though aside from that I can say enough good about it. In my experience it looks awsome plays awsome. Hope this helps man!

  • @kiss2112 Laughing gas.

  • what is that u play at 1:20 i know randy did that live but what is it?

  • fantastic guitar, i have the floyd rose one. The only thing that is annoying I guess is the pickup switch that is between 2 knobs, and is tricky to switch very quickly... don't you agree?

  • @undrapeaunoir it hasn't really occured to me since I really never switch it during songs, but you are probably right ;) But compared to my gibson it is closer at hand, at ought to be easier and thus quicker to use.

  • @DoctorJensen maybe with the fixed bridge it's half the problem. for FR the tremolo arm adds as an obstacle. Of course depends on how you use it, but I play iron maiden a lot, and they switch a lot quickly during solos.

    Anyway, again it's a fantastic guitar ! Keep rocking!

  • i'll pay you $20 and you give me all that :)

  • hey man ... nice riffs... is this guitar neck dives ?

  • Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing,... Battle Axe

  • Dude does this have a whammy bar?

    I'm considering buying this

  • that is a beauty the rr5 and the amp love jackson love marshall

  • jackson and marshall jvm 410H

    ...

    thats allmost all that matters in life ( after pussy and gibson guitars and vodka)

  • Beautiful guitar damn!

  • wtf , why so many dislikes??? , this is good

  • I WHANT THIS AMP.... i dont have that much money... but i whant it... : < Marshall... e4-ever....

  • I want this guitar so freaking bad! T^T The only local one I can find is in shit shape. The freaking toggle switch is even broken off!

  • @Brownwolfy well you could always mark it as a loss get the guitar at really fucking cheap and restore it.

  • @xexsnowblindxex Its not the color I want anyway, and I would just get a brand new one anyway because I essentially can say its mine and always has been mine. xD As well know if there's somethign wrong with it, its probably my fault anyway. lol

  • @Brownwolfy Haha you have some wonderful point there. i have a Jackson js30 and im really satisfied with it. which makes sorta want to get one of they better models because if mine (which is pretty cheap) can be that good. i wonder how good one liek this would be

  • @xexsnowblindxex I played a JS30 of JS32 before, it was okay for the low quality of it. But I like the feel of the RR5 a lot more, the plus side is that its neck through body instead of bolt on and the finish of the neck makes it a lot smoother. I just want the RR5 for body style and because of the Trans Black finish, which I found out they don't make the RR5's in anymore. If I want a Rhoads in that finish I have to get the RR1T USA Series, which is double the price and bolt on neck.

  • Does this guitar have any balance issues? I'm thinking of getting it but the Rhoads I used to own was seriously neck-heavy

  • @SpeedbeetleV2 the RR5 is well-balanced but takes a little time to get used to. If you want a guitar that you can practice with while sitting, this is obviously not the best guitar, but otherwise it's fantastic and well worth the buy :) Hope that answers your question.

  • @DoctorJensen So if you were to let go of the guitar altogether would the headstock it the floor?

  • @DoctorJensen "If you want a guitar that you can practice with while sitting, this is obviously not the best guitar" - You are wrong and I will have to disagree on that

  • @SpeedbeetleV2 buy the Matt Thuck's signature by Jackson it kicks ass!

  • are you happy with the amp ?

  • @Krazydeath66 YEP! :)

  • ya man love the rr5 i have the same ax it took me years to find the ax that fits me completeley but ya man im thinkin about buyin the black and gold one next to keep for different tuneings

  • I wanted to save up for an amp like a little half stack, and my parents are getting this amp for me I think... I was kinda stunned. I almost feel the NEEED to save up for it... I said to my dad that I could work for the speakers but he decided to look at the fucking full stuck lol. But if I get this, I have one pact. To never get another amp again. If anything, just save up for speakers for this thing. If this is that versatile, and if it's expensive, Screw it. I am not going to bother!

  • now that you have a super expensive/fuckin badass setup, invest in some recording gear. caus all that beautiful tone you hear in that room is lost.......

  • dude sounds beyond graet i own the same ax wish i could aford that marshall

  • badass guitar , how much did it cost? pls answer i wana buy one too and did you bought from the internet or from a store?

  • would u recommend this guitar ?

  • How much does that RR5 cost?

  • @spankysteve43

    google it -.-

  • its funny cuz i have the jackson, and the 1960a, but peavey 6505+ head, and i play just like you, and i even look like you, wait.. is that me

  • online i found an offset v like this for 300$ set neck and emgs off brand but very nice i would much rather have an rr5 though msg me if u want the name

  • what the holy fuck, how can someone who's tonedeaf, play so good?

    please are you beethoven's reeincarnation ? :D

  • I personally didnt like the RR5 version of the randy rhodes model jacksons... Idk if it was because the strings were old but i didnt like how high the strings are off the body, im used to floyd's. =)

  • Get a metronome

  • Really fucked that up didn't ya?

  • I'm selling a Jackson RR5 for 600$ Its and awesome guitar, but i need a new amp because mine got stolen last gig.

  • you fuckin suck!!

  • the Jackson RR5FR (Floyd Rose) doesn't have gold hardware

  • spotlight solo, massive!

  • Thanks :)

  • I HATE EMG's they have NO organic feel to them. I can't hear any of the guitar's natural tone. But with Passive Pickups like Dimarzios and duncans I can hear the tonal diiferences of each guitar they are in.

  • @EJG5150 That's why people load them in plywood guitars sometimes

  • is this the japan made version ?

  • nice one! :D nice guitar!

    can I ask you for a massive favor? ...

    could you draw me a 1:1 sketch of that V plate wing and draw dots where the holes should be.

    I would be more than happy! thank you a lot!

    waiting for your reply ... I'll give you my email when you'll reply

  • lucky

  • for 600 i got a 1100 guitar ( Dean Razorback)

  • Depends on what type of music are u going to play

  • Dude i have a really big question

    should i get this or a Gibson Les Paul Studio?

  • @CiviC092 if you like playing more of a metal type thing i would get the RR5 because it sounds alot clearer than a les paul.  but if u like 60s 90s rock i wouls go for the lespaul. in my opinion the les paul has a better clean. so good luck

  • Yeah, but les pauls have an awful playability to counter their good tone. They are heavy, have thick necks, and have limited access to upper frets. Personally, I'd go Playability > Tone > looks, as a good deal of tone derrives from the player.

  • @cerelilqt but its alot of personal preference i prefer. Tone > playability> looks

  • @ChocolateBear865 What about Playability > Tone > Looks?

  • @ChocolateBear865

    I've gotten a lot of choices but these are specifically what i have to choose

    Gibson Les Paul Studio Robot II Wine Red

    Gibson Les Paul Studio Fireburst Gold Hardware

    Jackon RR5

    ESP LTD KH-602

    Gibson SG Zoot Suit Black and White

    Fender American Standard HSS Stratocaster

    As you can see, I'm around a $800-$1400 Budget

    Can you please pick what is best for me? I play metal and hard rock

  • @CiviC092 if i suggest u get a gibson sg standard , they have a great tone and u can play almost anything with those

  • dude don't go for the Les Paul Studio for me Gibson are just stealing your money with the Studio model,Jacksdon RR5 is very comfortable guitar cause it has a fast neck it's really easy to get to play with it I mean it's a great guitar,ESP LTD are a brand which lately are making amasing metal guitars,but you need to realise what you want to play,and what is really coming from your heart.I started playing with a Squire Fender bullet strat and then I switched to Jackson RR guitars!

  • Jackson's have a very sharp tone. I find it great and at that money any jackson is a real killer. Even comparing to greater guitars. I wouldn't say the LTD cause i think it has the EMG PU on and they are not that good believe me. Most people like em cause they are easy to play. And that's because they have no dynamics. An average player will sound better but a good player won't be able to give his best. I Think you should give a chance to the SG or explorer models of gibson. Of those however: RR

  • @CiviC092 ithink the best for you ould be a gibson explorer. i own one and i really enjoy it i know its not in the list of guitars you gave me. or maybe a billy corgan strat. if you wany a floyd rose, i would go for a jackson dinky

  • oh cool thanks!

  • @CiviC092 A Les Paul is more versatile.

  • @CiviC092

    if you are a shredder go with the jackson but if you want quality and good tone definetly the gibson!!!

  • the guitar of my dreams :D

  • awesome

  • nice but im more of an RR3 person, ;) Cheers

  • Thanx :D

  • whats that riff yu'r playing in the beggning? cause i know it's something but i just know it as part of dimes solo :P

  • Well.. A little history here :) It's a track by Quiet Riot, called Battle Axe, which I practiced years ago, and then forgot all about, as well as the RR solo from the Tribute album... Then I earned some money and spend them all on the guitar and the Marshall rack, and first day.. I felt the urge to record something on my camera (hence the bad sound), and this came to mind.. and haven't been played since, soo it's flawed! but spontaneous! :) There you go. The full story :)

  • thanx man, i gotta learn sum of it now, sounds awsome!

  • Could you tell me if this guitar is comfortable to play sitting and standing, and whether the neck is thin? I would appreciate it :)

    I thought your playing was awesome, and I recognised some of the phrases in there from Randy's 'Suicide Solution' solo!

  • sexy guitar,man!

    does it hang in balance when you let go of the neck?

  • Thanks :)

    Almost. The head is a little too heavy, so it tends to shift forward at a slow pace, when I'm not holding the neck :)

  • No offence man but if you have shitty sound quality than we cant hear the true sound.

    My Crate combo sounds better it seems

  • well judging by your videos, neither do you.

  • actaully i tihnk i do... every video on there i played the song 100% perfect note wise

  • coudln't be more wrong. your bends are all off pitch. most go sharp but a few flat, your timing is very uneven, and your playing is generally noisy and imprecise.

  • this is directed at xLesPaulGibsonx, not DrJensen

  • well i wasnt using a metronome or back track like you pussy, and dude you couldnt do even better

  • You shoulden't need to use a metronome, and if you think that then he's definatly right about you not deserving the guitar either.

    Also, where does a deserveing factor come into it, he has more money than you, stop being so butt hurt about it.

  • Ummm... no, you don't. And even if you did, if you can't phrase it right then whether or not you hit the notes is irrelevant.

  • If he worked for it and bought it, he deserves it.

  • its gorgeous

  • i finally own that guitar check it out onmy video:)

  • what are those three chords you do at 1:13

  • LOOKS like Em G D,,but I'm not sure...

  • Yep! Good ol' Em, G and D :)

  • fedt ;)

  • awesome playing and awesome guitar!

    i saw it at my local guitar shop

    how much is it?

  • Around 2600,- USD in DK. So I guess it would be a little cheaper most other places in the world ;)

  • Go to a guitar store and play them if you can and before you plug either one in you'll want to play it and listen to the differences in the resonence that are between the two. Believe it or not it makes a difference in what your getting for tone out of it. Good luck.

  • YES! YES YES YES!

    This is crazy. I've had my RR5 for about 2 years now, and I think i'm picking up this Marshall tomorrow... recommend it?

  • I can totally reccomend it, though of course it depends on the styles you're playing. There's a lot of great amps out there, just waiting to be used :D

  • man, this makes me miss my marshall...i need 2 get it back from my buddy's house

  • i say a ninja cus you are lucky as hell to find that guitar(thats not on ebay). they both are great. i own a rr5. im waiting for a esp ninja v till the holidays

  • YES!!! cromatic runs ad strong legato are far better than useless sweep runs anyday!!!!

  • Hehe Thanx and yes.. chromatic runs are underestimated :)

  • your the best shredder ive seen on here in awhile!

  • Well the best advise that I can give you is going to your local guitarshop, and try them (and other guitars in that pricearea), since one thing is the look of the guitar, and the other thing is how it feels when playing it, and how it sounds. I think the last two are the most important, and thus it is a very good idea to try a guitar before buying it.. Hope it helps :)

  • awsome sound! what settings you using?

  • Hmmm. I don't really remember anymore. The footage is from the first week of purchasing the Marshall, but I guess that I just turned the Gain on Full and Treble/Midtone to about 7-8 (and bass a little lower).... But that's a guess. :)

  • oh oke, thanks! i love your tone. i have my jvm410h for more than a year now, great amp but i cant find a good metal tone.

  • That depends what kind of metalsound you want. If using the JVM410H alone, adjusting the gain down to 2-4 wil give you a cleaner tone suited for metal solos, while turning it way up to 10 gives it a fuzzy hardcore style. The Treble/Mid/Bass can be adjusted also to slim/fatten the tone in different areas... Otherwise turn the gain down and get a booster pedal or EQ pedal.. The possibilities are endless :)

  • yeh, i put the gain around 6-7 for od 2 red for my lead and the gain around 5 for od 1 red for rythm channel

  • respond*

  • its true!

  • its true

  • this "stuffmuffins" kids real name is Ian Griffith and hes lives in Valencia, California. his address is 27561 Chesshire Lane. he likes to occaisonlly get high, but mostly he focuses on his guitar and his new summer job at Robeks. unfortunately he will never pay for weed and hes homo. i am playin GoW 2 with him right now and im high too. hahahahahaah

  • he tapped without tapping. WTF?

  • its called hammer ons and pull offs.

  • you have an awesome set up

  • Thanks :)

  • Hey, nice music. I was wondering how the RR5 played because im gettin one for christmas. I've tried it out in the store but i couldnt get full use of it because i only had 5 minutes allowed and mostly was getting used to the guitar itself. So if you got the time to reply, just try and tell me how its Seymour Duncans respong to different styles please. (:

  • I've tried a few good guitars and there are guitars that are better to play, because they are of better quality, but the RR5 is definitivly high quality, and sounds great. It is a little difficult to sit with, so that limits it's use a little. I think the SD pickups are sounding great no matter what style, but I don't have that much experience in the 1000 different pickups out there, so I'm probably not the right one to ask.

  • thanks man.

  • jackson rocks! great choice men! peace!:)>-

  • I literally bought the same exact model this week at guitar center! Pretty much the most beautiful guitar ever made.

  • this is the ivory one right

  • Yes. :)

  • its a beaut

  • your quite good at your harmonics

  • i've heard the JVM doesn't have as much balls (omph) as a JCM 800. is that true or just people hating?

  • It wouldn't be the same, but the JVM sounds like it still has alot of balls. The JVM would be the best of the new amps imo.

  • Honestly its just hate, i've played both (i own a JVM) and the jvm does have as much balls IF used properly an 800 you turn it up and bam, balls. but the jvm has lots of gains and volumes so if you say, crank the channel volumes and turn up the master volume you have a screaming amazing tone (i just discovered the balls of CLEAN channel on RED mode today, fuckin' BLISTERING!)

  • good to hear. thanks for the response, very specific

  • white gold is white gold

  • i had the same guitar cost me 12 hundred bucks man at guitar villa...and it was a horrible guitar....no wicked sounds ever could be pulled out of that. ...NICE PLAYING THO MAN..get yourself a minirik...

  • If you would need to say how good this amp is from 0(the worst) to 10(the best) what would your raite be?

  • Well that's very subjective, but personally I would rate it with 10 out of 10, because it kicks ass, sounds like a million and looks awasome.. But that's what I think, and people may have different oppinions about that depending on playing style, music preference and a lot of other things. Head down to your local musicstore and try it out. You won't be disapointed :)

  • ummm jvm 410h? thats like one of the best heads in the world, period. and i HATE marshall, doesnt change the fact that that setup kicks ass

  • How does it compare to a Mesa Stilleto??

  • Hmmm. I don't know. I have to try that one out. The Mesa production is very famous in the old British Metal Wave, so I should think that it can rock your socks off as well. But I must try that one when I get the chance... Down to the local musicshop tomorrow :)

  • Can you play almost any music style whit this amp?

  • The JVM410 series have a very clean sound, that you can put any effectpedals through, and it has the most heavy distortion sound that exists and everything in between, so I can use it for classic rock, blues, jazz, rock'n'roll and heavy, with slightly different modes, but of course any other effect than distortion and chorus, you have to buy as pedals seperately :) Hope that answers your question :)

  • is it hard to sit down with because i dont like to stand unless i have to when im playing guitar

  • No. It requires a little adjustment in the beginning (not adjusting the guitar, but the position that you're in when playing), because you have to have the minor arc between your legs for stability, otherwise the guitar slides off due to the angle of the body. ok?

  • well its, the endind is randy rhoads solo spot from the album tribute

  • whats tone deaf mean?

  • its when you cant desipher the pitch of something. Like this guy might hear two notes, lets say an E note and a G note, he wont be able to tell the difference between the notes

  • mazaa99, no it isn't!

  • That is my opinion...

  • I like your guitar really much!! The best heavy metal axe in the whole world

  • Yup!

  • alright! what did you pay for it?

  • hell yeah man fuckin amazing lookin guitar (i have yet to play 1)

  • that was some horrible guitar playing.. but an awesome guitar.. you like it?

  • Hell! I'm not aiming to please everyone, and I don't know any music that does so. I'm not Steve Vai og Mark Knopfler and have never pretended to be so ;) But yeah it's an awesome guitar.. and I like it very much :)

  • hey man thank for the vid

    its good to see somebody with a beautiful guitar that can actually play it

    lol

    what do you think of this guitar

    because i have a jackson(the white one with a maple neck)

    and i love everything about it

    for my next guitar i want to stick with jackson and i think i am going to go with this model

    what do you think???

  • Itis absolutely my number one favourite guitar brand, and has beenso for like 15-20 years. But I also like other guitars as well, life is too short for only one brand :) he he. But I would hightly recommend it! It is absolutely fantastic to play, and it is definitivly not my last Jackson Guitar :D

    So if you want to purchaseit, I can only give you it's very best regards..

  • For myself, my next guitar will probably be the Gibson Robot guitar, since I am too lazy to detune my guitar all the time, and it is nice that there finally are a guitar which will do the dirty job for you :D ha ha..

    BTW.. If you want it equipped with FR, then buy the RR5FR model, but then again you lose the gold plating :(.. Cheers.

  • how many watts is this and wear can i get it

  • Tjek out the Marshall website for specifications. I'm not a tech geek, but it can play REALLY LOUD! haha.

    Were to get it? I don't know where you live, but I would strongly suggest your local instrument supplier/shop :) But unfortunately it is a bit expensive :(
