Jackson Custom Shop Rhoads Gold Sparkle

Overview

This Jackson Custom Shop Rhoads pairs classic offset aggression with premium Custom Shop build quality and a bold Gold Sparkle finish. Built as a neck-thru design with a 3-piece maple neck and alder body wings, it delivers fast attack, strong sustain, and the focused response players expect from a high-performance Rhoads platform.

Finished in Gold Sparkle with a heavy relic nitro top coat, this build leans into vintage-inspired flash with modern precision. A compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets, and a Floyd Rose top-mount tremolo make it equally comfortable for articulate rhythm work and expressive lead playing, while the Seymour Duncan JB and ’59 pairing provides a proven tonal foundation.
