Jackson - JS Series Rhoads JS32T White With Black Bevels

When you pick up this Jackson JS Series Rhoads JS32T, the first thing that strikes you is how fast it feels. The maple neck, with its satin finish, glides naturally under the hand, without catching. The graphite reinforcements and mitered joint are not just there for the technical data sheet: they really stabilise the whole, which is felt in the tuning and durability over time. The amaranth fingerboard, with its 24 jumbo frets, provides a comfortable surface for effortless playing, whether you're stringing riffs together or laying down wider bends.

The compensated radius from 12" to 16" plays a key role in the feel. Close to the saddle, everything remains accessible for chords and rhythms, then the higher you go, the flatter the fingerboard becomes, which clearly facilitates fast, precise solos. This is typically the kind of detail that changes the way you play without you realising it straight away. The Tune-O-Matic bridge also provides good sustain and a solid string feel, ideal for straightforward rock or metal attacks.

In terms of sound, the two high output humbuckers are straight to the point. The bridge pickup has that tight grain, perfect for saturated rhythms and aggressive riffs, while the neck pickup remains more open, with more treble for leads. With the 3-position selector and simple settings, you can quickly sculpt a sound suited to hard rock, modern metal or even more melodic registers. And visually, with its glossy white and black bevels, this Rhoads makes a clear statement at first glance.
