Built in collaboration with Gojira guitarist Christian Andreu, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Christian Andreu Signature Rhoads RR24 EVTN6 is engineered for the crushing precision, stability and tonal clarity demanded by modern metal. This performance-driven Rhoads pairs neck-thru maple construction with graphite reinforcement for strength and sustain, while an EverTune F6 bridge maintains exact pitch under any playing intensity. Last but not least, a single Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern humbucker delivers high-output articulation with multiple voicings, giving players a focused, controlled tonal platform built for aggressive rhythm work and atmospheric textures alike.
Neck-Thru Maple Construction With Graphite Reinforcement for Stability and Sustain
Built around a three-piece maple neck-thru design, the Christian Andreu RR24 creates a continuous structure that enhances sustain, resonance and overall rigidity. Graphite reinforcement rods increase stability, helping the neck resist environmental changes and maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. Alder body wings add punch, balanced mids and tight low-end response, forming a tonal foundation suited for high-gain applications. This construction also enables effortless upper-fret access, supporting technical playing styles that require precision across the entire fingerboard.
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker for Focused High-Gain Clarity
A Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern bridge humbucker provides the Christian Andreu Rhoads RR24’s high-output voice, delivering tight low end, articulate mids and clear top-end definition under heavy distortion. The Fluence system offers multiple voicings via a mini-toggle, allowing players to shift between aggressive attack and more open, dynamic response. With a simplified single volume control, the signal path remains direct and responsive, preserving immediacy and note definition in complex passages.
Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Precision
The Pro Plus Series RR24's ebony fingerboard provides a fast, smooth playing surface with a crisp, immediate attack that keeps notes articulate under high gain. Its 12–16" compound radius transitions from a rounder feel for chord work in lower positions to a flatter surface for bends, fast runs and precise lead playing higher up the neck. Twenty-four stainless steel frets offer long-term durability and a slick feel that reduces friction, while Luminlay side dots ensure visibility on dark stages. Inverted pearloid Ghostfin inlays complete the instrument’s sharp, understated aesthetic.
EverTune Bridge System for Consistent Tuning Stability
The EverTune F6 bridge uses a constant-tension system to keep each string in tune regardless of picking intensity, bending or environmental changes. This ensures consistent pitch across live performances and recording sessions, eliminating the need for frequent retuning. Jackson die-cast locking tuners further enhance tuning stability and streamline string changes, while a spoke-wheel truss rod adjustment allows quick, precise neck setup.
Christian Andreu: Precision, Texture and Modern Metal Mastery
As a founding member of Gojira, Christian Andreu has helped define a modern metal sound built on rhythmic precision, dynamic contrast and atmospheric depth. His playing balances tightly controlled riffing with expansive harmonic textures, requiring an instrument that maintains clarity, tuning stability and responsiveness under extreme conditions. This Pro Plus Series signature RR24 Rhoads reflects that approach, translating Christian’s performance demands into a guitar designed for consistency, control and expressive range.
