collapse expand iconDescription

The Jackson JS Series Rhoads JS22-7 RR HT electric guitar unleashes seven-string fury in an affordable package. With its extended 26.5" scale length, the JS22-7 RR HT articulates crunching low-end while retaining tension and clarity. The lightweight poplar body resonates brightly, keeping weight down for comfortable playing. Bolt the maple neck to the body for rock-solid stability, reinforced with graphite and a scarf joint. Shred up and down the compound radius amaranth fingerboard, flattening out on the higher frets for easy soloing. Jackson's direct-mount humbuckers snarls and screams, dishing out thick rock tone. Let notes ring out with the string-through-body bridge. The sleek Rhoads shape looks as deadly as it sounds.

Pulverize the Low End With a 26.5" Scale Length

Go lower and hit harder with the JS22-7 RR HT's extended 26.5" scale length. The extra length provides tighter string tension that makes the low B string speak clearly and authoritatively. Chug out chunky riffs and dive bomb into the abyss, confident that each note will ring true. The scale length also prevents floppiness so your tone stays tight and focused. Dominate the low-end and create earth-shaking sounds.

Resonant Tone With a Lightweight Poplar Body

The JS22-7 RR HT's poplar body resonates brightly while keeping weight manageable. Play for hours on end without neck fatigue. Poplar's airy tonality and sustain make power chords feel more powerful and bring out the complexity in chord voicings. When you need to impress the crowd with your seven-string skills, the poplar body projects your sound to the back of the room. Fill the space with your crushing riffs and intricate solos.

Rock-Solid Stability With a Bolt-On Maple Neck

The maple neck bolts onto the JS22-7 RR HT's body for rock-solid stability, reinforced with graphite and a scarf joint. Resist warping and stay in tune, even when hammering the strings with heavy picking. The maple neck also produces a tight low-end, adding clarity to your tone. Play with confidence, knowing the maple neck can handle your most abusive riffing.

Shred Up the Amaranth Fingerboard

Built for speed, the JS22-7 RR HT features a fast compound radius amaranth fingerboard. Near the nut, the 12" radius lets you easily grab chords. Further up the neck, the fingerboard flattens to a 16" radius, perfect for wide vibrato and rapid soloing. The smooth amaranth feels slick and fast under your fingers. Face-melting leads are only a pick stroke away when you have 24 jumbo frets to work with. The fingerboard's pearloid piranha tooth inlays guide you as you explore the entire range.

Dual Humbuckers Deliver Aggressive Tone

The Rhoads JS22-7 RR HT wields a pair of direct-mount Jackson high-output humbuckers that dish out aggressive tone perfect for metal and hard rock. The neck pickup has a smooth voice for singing leads and rich chords. Flip to the bridge pickup and it unleashes a biting crunch full of harmonics. With the 3-way toggle switch you can blend the two pickups. Volume and tone knobs provide further tonal shaping. The blacked-out aesthetic matches the sinister voice. Unleash your riffs, licks and solos with the Rhoads JS22-7 RR HT.

    If you're looking at 7 strings, ease into it. Find one that's above average in quality at your price point. This one is both that as well as a Rhaods, which is why you're really here in the first place, right? There's nothing bad/unplayable about it, which at $300ish bumps it to solid

    If you want a V 7, just buy it. Great affordable intro to 7s, or a really solid mod platform. Factory setup was playable. Stock bridge pickup has a high gain grind to it that I love (maybe it's a V thing). I am a $800-1200 Schecter 7 guy. It's fine as is and after some Hipshot upgrades and a Graph tec nut it'll be a forever guitar for me. Jackson makes higher end Rhoads 7s, but I hate in line 7, or reverse headstocks, and bad string/nut geometry. 5 stars for what it is, a killer affordable V.

    No, I wouldn't unless you want to learn to play standing up. There's no way to rest it on your leg without it sliding off.

    Whats the neck size? Like a thin C or C or other?

    Whats the neck size? Like a thin C or C or other?

    It's a 12”-16” compound radius. The amount of a fretboard's curvature is referred to as its radius. Fretboards with a small radius are more curved, while those with a large radius are more flat. The measurement is arrived at by extending the arc of the fretboard to form an imaginary circle around the neck.
