“Brings the shape that metal guitarists have coveted for decades to a new generation”: Jackson drafts the Rhoads V into its high-end American Series – bringing Randy Rhoads’ iconic metal guitar back to the States

Jackson has brought the Rhoads V electric guitar shape home to its California factory with the unveiling of two high-end American Series Rhoads models.

Originally born out of a collaboration between the Ozzy Osbourne guitar icon and Grover Jackson in the early 1980s, the flagship Rhoads not only put a distinct Randy-designed spin on the V template, but helped launch the Jackson brand.
