Description

The Jackson Flying V Randy Rhoads is a production guitar model based on the distinctive offset-V "Concorde" body shape Randy Rhoads designed with Jackson founder Grover Jackson, made famous through Rhoads' work with Ozzy Osbourne before his death in 1982. It carries the guitar's signature sharp, angular silhouette and specifications derived from Rhoads' original custom instrument, offered as a production model for players wanting the historic shape and playability.

The Jackson RR1 Rhoads V (First Prototype) represents the very first prototype of the guitar Grover Jackson built for Randy Rhoads, the earliest iteration of what would become the iconic offset-V Concorde body shape that defined Jackson Guitars' founding design. As the initial prototype before refinements, it holds significant historical value as the genesis of one of metal guitar's most influential silhouettes.
