Jackson RR guys, Question for you

[WizardAmpIphoneClip]

Now that's what im talking about. Killer. I just love the look of a standard trem and to be honest, the TONE too. There is a difference. I also find Floyd's bulky. I'm ok with strat trems needing a dive to reset. Plenty of good 2 point trems that are stable now too. What did you pay for that beauty??

Zero upper fret access though

If you’re ok with bolt on, I’d probably just go Warmoth and have them do the standard trem route

That's no fun Jer.. I want it to look and feel RR. Plus with our tariff war, I can only imagine what Warmoth will cost me in duties and potential tariffs on the lumber that isn't Canadian. That's right Canada... the home of HELIX and Honeymoon Suite!

Contact Butala Custom Guitars, in Canada, about building a Concorde.

Makes sense and that is what I figured the reasoning behind that was. I have to say though, with the standard trem, I prefer the look of the Concorde to the Sandoval. Having an Edwards Schenker V, it just is not comfortable to play seated no matter how you position yourself.

I haven't played a Concorde, but a standard RR is the only guitar I've played that I consider to actually be unplayable sitting down.

I've got a Butala Strat, great guitar.

How different is it from a standard V? I seem to get around fine on my V

A standard V has the joint at the 17th fret with cutaways to improve access. The Concorde has the joint at the 15th fret with no cutaways.

It probably bothered Randy, since the regular Jackson Rhoads has the neck joint moved up to the 19th fret, with cutaways.

This is the coolest looking one but how do you reach the upper frets. I know Randy complained about this and they built the new RR version that he never got a chance to play.

Ugh… I HATE the Concorde! Lol.
