Jackson JS32 Rhoads Left-Handed Electric Guitar

The Jackson JS32 Rhoads LH is a six-string solidbody electric guitar made specifically for left-handed players. Its asymmetric Rhoads body, Satin Gray finish, black hardware, and black pickguard create a focused stage-ready look. It is designed for players seeking a left-handed electric guitar with a locking tremolo system and humbucking pickup layout.

A poplar body provides the platform for the guitar’s two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups. Ceramic magnets and an HH configuration support a full, driven electric-guitar voice suited to amplified rock and metal playing. A three-position toggle lets the player select bridge, combined, or neck pickup operation.

The bolt-on maple speed neck uses graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint for added structural stability. Its fully bound amaranth fingerboard has a 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius, starting rounder near the nut and flattening toward the upper frets. This layout supports chord work in lower positions while providing room for bends and lead playing higher on the neck.

The 24 jumbo frets and 25.5-inch scale provide a familiar full-scale electric-guitar playing surface. Pearloid sharkfin inlays offer clear position markers along the fingerboard. A Floyd Rose Licensed Jackson double-locking tremolo and locking nut are fitted for vibrato use and tuning retention during tremolo techniques.

This JS32 Rhoads LH connects into a conventional electric-guitar signal chain, such as an instrument cable, amplifier, and optional effects pedals. Its master volume, master tone, and three-way pickup selector keep the control layout straightforward. It can serve as a primary left-handed electric guitar or as a locking-tremolo-equipped addition to an existing guitar setup.

Design & Installation

The JS32 Rhoads LH combines a Satin Gray poplar body with a maple neck, white neck and headstock binding, pearloid sharkfin inlays, and all-black hardware. The neck is bolt-on, graphite reinforced, and fitted with a dual-action truss rod. Hardware includes sealed die-cast Jackson tuners, a one-ply black pickguard, dome-style control knobs, and zebra black-and-white pickup covers.

Connect the guitar to a suitable guitar amplifier or pedalboard using a standard instrument cable. The factory string specification is nickel-plated steel in .009-.042 gauges, so substantial string-gauge or tuning changes may require tremolo balancing and setup adjustment. A Floyd Rose tremolo arm is specified, while a case or gig bag is sold separately.
