1991 Grover Jackson Randy Rhoads Custom V Metallic Black w/ EMGs, Case

Up for sale, a 1991 Grover Jackson Randy Rhoads Custom in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Jackson is an uncommon example, produced at the Chushin Gakki factory in Japan as part of the upper-tiered Custom Series, boasting a gloss Metallic Black finish and 24-fret ebony fingerboard, loaded with a pair of aftermarket EMG pickups.

This Rhoads Custom features quartersawn maple neck-through construction, with the grain aligned parallel to the neck, ensuring an exceptionally resonant instrument with great natural sustain. The upgraded EMG pickup pair includes an 81 at the bridge and a 60 at the neck, and both pickups utilize powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils. The EMG 81 was engineered for optimal note detail, enhanced high end cut, and fluid sustain. The EMG 60 offers dense harmonics, with thick, boosted mids, big lows and singing highs. This Randy Rhoads Custom weighs 8lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
