Jackson American SRS RR24 HT SB

Jackson American SRS RR24 HT SB review

The Jackson American SRS RR24 HT SB is an RR-shaped electric guitar built around a fixed bridge. That detail matters to players who like the shape but want to avoid a tremolo system. One owner described the Hipshot bridge as the feature that finally made this model appealing, especially because the guitar also has no battery compartment. The pickups are passive, so there is no onboard battery to accommodate.

Jackson lists the guitar as made in the United States and available since September 2025. Its item number is 620302. The finish is matte black, with black hardware, and the body is alder. There is no separate top. A maple neck is bolted to the body, while an ebony fingerboard carries 24 jumbo frets and inverted mother-of-pearl shark-fin inlays.

Neck, scale, and feel

The 648 mm scale length, equivalent to 25.51 inches, is a familiar long scale for electric guitar players. Jackson specifies a 42.9 mm nut width and a compound fingerboard radius that transitions from 305 mm to 406 mm, or 12 to 16 inches. Those measurements give a concrete picture of the playing surface, though comfort and string feel still depend on setup and personal preference.

The owner feedback supplied for this review describes the guitar as playing well and weighing less than expected. That impression came from a player accustomed to heavier mahogany guitars, so it is useful context rather than a measured weight comparison. No exact weight is provided. The report suggests that players concerned about the heft of an angular solid-body guitar may want to try this one in person instead of judging it by its outline alone.

Jackson includes Dunlop Dual Locking strap buttons. These are intended to keep a compatible strap secured to the guitar during use. The hardware is black, matching the understated matte finish rather than adding a contrasting visual detail.

Pickups and controls

The pickup layout consists of two Seymour Duncan humbuckers: a JB TB-4 at the bridge and a '59 SH-1N at the neck. The controls are straightforward, with one volume control, one tone control, and a three-way pickup selector. There are no active pickups listed, keeping the electronics passive.

The player report says the guitar sounds great, but does not specify an amplifier, musical style, settings, or a detailed comparison with other instruments. That makes the feedback encouraging without making it a substitute for a listening test. The pickup pairing gives shoppers clear model names to research or compare, while the simple control layout keeps switching between the two pickups direct.

Fixed bridge and included case

The fixed Hipshot 6 bridge has.125-inch string spacing. For players who have been waiting for an RR guitar with a fixed bridge option, this is the central part of the specification. It avoids the moving bridge assembly associated with a tremolo, while the Gotoh MG-T locking tuners provide a locking mechanism at the headstock. The guitar ships with nickel-plated steel strings in.009 to.042 gauges.

A case is included, and the owner describes the supplied case as a hybrid between a hard case and a gig bag. In that player's experience, it felt sturdier than a regular gig bag and was practical to carry. The listing separately says there is no additional bag included, so buyers should not expect a second carrying option. The case itself is part of the package.

What to consider before buying

The model's appeal is specific: an RR shape, passive Seymour Duncan humbuckers, a fixed Hipshot bridge, and U.S. Manufacture. Buyers who want a tremolo should look elsewhere, since none is fitted. Those who prefer active electronics will also need another model. The matte black finish and black hardware keep the appearance consistent, while the inverted shark-fin inlays add a distinctive detail to the ebony fingerboard.

The supplied owner feedback is positive about sound, playability, the lighter-than-expected feel, and the case. The player also reports that minor modifications ordered through the retailer's team were handled well. Those modifications are not described, so they should not be taken as standard factory features. At a listed price of 2,150, shoppers should confirm the currency and current retailer package before ordering.

Overall, the Jackson American SRS RR24 HT SB is a focused option for players who want the RR profile without a tremolo and who prefer a passive two-humbucker setup. Its fixed bridge, locking tuners, ebony board, and included case make the specification easy to assess. The strongest reason to consider it is the combination of that familiar Jackson shape with the bridge configuration some players have been waiting to find.
