Jackson RR2 price and opinion

[DC_rhoads82]

Hey guys,
I have just stumbled across one of these used in black. Very good condition except a couple of tiny dings here and there and was wondering about your opinions on them. How do they stack up to other USA models? I have an RR1 and an SL2h, so I was just wondering how these compare. I'm thinking of it as possibly a refinish job for something cool, but I want to make sure it's a decent guitar to begin with before I put anymore money into it. Also, he wants $650 Canadian for it? Would that be a decent price? Any info would be greatly appreciated as I couldn't find much around here about em aside from specs.
Thanks!

They were decent guitars, if you like a bolt-on Rhoads. Ebony board with no inlays, just import hardware (JT-580LP bridge) and Armstrong pickups. Sounds like a good price. I thought they had black neck binding, but I can't recall now. Made in 1997.

a buddy was selling an RR2 here in MI for $400, loaded with EMG 81/85. nice shape, one ding. not my kinda guitar though.

They're usually a lot of bang for your buck. Very good guitars, especially if the PUs and/or Floyd are swapped out.

I had a blue RR2 for a couple of years. It didn't have any of the balance issues that some folks encounter with bolt-on "pointies" and was a great player. No complaints here, but considering the current American/Canadian exchange rate, $650 CAN sounds a bit high if it has dings. They are unique guitars though (especially the blank ebony board), so if it's worth $650 to you, go for it.

I don't think it's for me. I love my neck-thru's! Thanks for all of the opinions. If I decide to pick it up I'll post pics.
