Jackson Rhoads JS32T FSR Electric Guitar Natural Oil

Description
Jackson proudly offers the JS Series Rhoads JS32T, an affordable yet feature-packed solidbody electric guitar. Designed for discerning rock and metal players, this ax combines comfort, tone and attitude. Now available at Guitar Center, the Rhoads body shape is instantly recognizable yet ergonomically contoured for maximum playability.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard Facilitates Chording and Shredding
The amaranth fingerboard has a compound radius starting at 12" at the nut for comfortable chording and gradually flattening to 16" at the higher frets for effortless soloing. 24 jumbo frets provide ample space for wide bends and fretting out is a thing of the past.
High-Output Humbuckers Produce Thick, Snarling Tone
Two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets deliver a thick, snarling tone with robust sustain. The bridge pickup provides tight, articulate tones for rhythm playing and searing leads. The neck pickup yields warmer, smokey tones perfect for emotive solos.
Maple Neck and String-Through Bridge Provide Solid Sustain
The bolt-on maple neck, one of the hardest tonewoods, provides a stable platform for the amaranth fingerboard and works with the string-through bridge to produce prodigious sustain. The bridge also allows for precise intonation of the nickel-plated steel strings.
Distinctive Jackson Styling
From the pointy headstock to the shark fin position inlays, the Rhoads JS32T drips with Jackson attitude. The gloss black finish and gold hardware provide an aggressive yet elegant esthetic. This solid, performance-focused instrument is ready to unleash your creativity and push tonal boundaries.

Worth the money
I bought one of these and it's my first electric guitar. I am learning from nothing, the most knowledge I had before was just strumming an acoustic guitar like I knew what I was doing. I read reviews before and I was worried because people were saying they were damaged or unfinished and I was slightly discouraged to continue with the purchase. I decided to just do it and I also bought a warranty just incase I figured. I believe everything I ordered luckily all came together, but it does ship separate sometimes it seems. Everything came about 1 day late than what was expected but I wasn't worried. Everything was in perfect condition and worked great. I have been playing pretty steady for roughly a month and it has taken any beatings I have given. I feel safe to say if it has survived my clumsy self for this long it's a pretty good starter. The only thing that bothers me is that there is some buzz, but I was expecting that from the reviews. Another factor that I wish I would have taken into account is I play more sitting down than standing and as you can see… this guitar is not going to balance itself with the shape as a strat or les does with the roundness. If you're alright with that personal preference decision, I see no issues.

Needs work out of the box!
This is a pretty sweet little guitar once you get It set up, and it WILL need to be set up. I never leave reviews but this thing has been a pain since day one, but I kind of expected it to be for the price. Your milage may very but this is my experience with the JS32T. I picked this guitar up from guitar center about two weeks ago. Straight out of the box in the store before even buying it, it was missing the B string and the neck was so curved that the strings sat on top of the frets. Guitar center put a new string on it and adjusted the neck a bit before I left (was still buzzing on first 3 frets). Upon getting home with it I realized the neck wasn't fully bolted down (two .88 picks could fully fit in the neck pocket, between the neck and body) and the fret ends were not finished (the frets will shred your hands). I busted out some tools and got to work on making it playable. So far ive had to bolt the neck down, dressed the fret ends, replace the tuning machines (low E machine peg just fell off the second day of owning it) adjusted the truss rod, action and intonation. After adding in extra work/money and topping it off with a new set of strings this thing finally sings. It really is a cool little guitar if you set it up properly and plays suprisingly well. Its possible that maybe I just purchased a lemon but this thing really needed some polishing before actually being playable.

I bought this guitar because I've always wanted a Rhoads V, I just didn't want one with a Floyd Rose with the locking nut or anything like that. This guitar is perfect! The high gain pick ups make it a really great rhythm or lead guitar! Plays and sounds great! 🤘🏻 #Sweepstakes
Insane value. Ideal first guitar.

Great electronics for the price, never had any issue with them. Pickups sound great for the price point. Neck feels incredibly smooth and the weight of the instrument is shockingly light. Wish it was my first guitar and would recommend it as one to anyone new looking to play hard rock-metal.

Bought this basically because I'm more of hard rock guy and wanted something more metal like to play around with. Surprised how good it feels and plays. I'd say it's definitely more than a beginner guitar. There were some rough edges on the frets and needed a good setup. Other than that certainly worth the price.
