Why? The RR24 (either the ebony or maple neck) is a fantastic guitar! You're frien must have some serious taste issues.

*facepalm*

This guitar is great for Metallica, I play Metallica sometimes and sound is excellent (plugging guitar to Peavey Vypyr 30W amplifier).

@BlackDeath92 completely agree with you

@dale-banez I don't understand your facepalm: many maple necks have got finish over them, as far as I know lemon oil should'n be used on finished wood.

I was about to get this, but I ended up buying Fender Jim Root Stratocaster, mainly for comfort, I love how RR's look, but I really hate playing on them.


Rhoads aren't that bad to play sitted , just hold the guitar in classical position , the lower point between your legs and you're good to go . They are more comfortable than King V's

Jackson JS 32T Rhoads? that also has 24 frets.

Maple on it's own, isn't particularly smooth. And it's very soft, so it has a laquer finish over it for fretboards to save damage and chipping, which is what makes it smooth. Also makes it very slidy, and more difficult for playing legato phrases (I find, anyway). Ebony as a natural wood, is unfinished and just as smooth, but has more grip. Point is that lemon oil will erode the laquer coat and eventually your fretboard will be unusable.

You are right, I didn't consider the JS (low level) Jackson series

Metallica pretty much only use bridge pickup. And I think you would keep your tone at full if you play Metallica. I could live with my Charvel if it only had bridge pickup. It doesn't have tone knobs, just one volume. It's HH but as I said, I could live with it if it had only one pickup. Though I use the neck pickup/middle position for cleans and sometimes overdrive and solos. But I also use my bridge pickup for those.

It is a very durable guitar, i've dropped it on a garage floor totally by accident, and some how the neck did not snap off. But honestly I should have gotten something else. To this day the action still has problems and the only way to really fix it is to use 9 guage strings in standard tuning which is not going to happen.
