Jackson Guitars Unveils Gojira’s Christian Andreu Signature Rhoads RR24 with EverTune Bridge

Jackson Guitars has officially joined forces with Gojira guitarist Christian Andreu to launch the latest evolution of the iconic Rhoads platform: the Pro Plus Series Signature Christian Andreu Rhoads RR24 EVTN6. Built for the modern metal player, this guitar combines aggressive classic aesthetics with cutting-edge, tour-ready hardware.

From the heavy machinery of French metal titans Gojira comes Jackson’s ultimate sonic sledgehammer. The new Christian Andreu Rhoads RR24 EVTN6 is a no-nonsense metal machine built to withstand the rigors of global touring while delivering punishing, razor-sharp tone.

Finished in a striking Black with White Bevels, this aggressive silhouette packs some serious under-the-hood upgrades that make it a standout in the Jackson Pro Plus Series.

A Historic First: The EverTune F6 Bridge

The headline feature of the RR24 EVTN6—and a historic first for the Jackson Rhoads body style—is the inclusion of the EverTune F6 bridge.

For touring musicians, the EverTune system is nothing short of revolutionary. This mechanical bridge maintains perfect pitch regardless of extreme temperature shifts, aggressive picking, or massive bends. For a rhythm powerhouse like Andreu, whose playing demands absolute consistency, this addition ensures the guitar stays locked in no matter how hard it gets pushed on stage.

Unstoppable Fishman Fluence Tone

When it comes to electronics, the RR24 EVTN6 relies on a streamlined but devastatingly effective setup:

• Single Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker: Delivers tight, thunderous lows, cutting mids, and searing highs that effortlessly slice through a dense live mix.

• Three-Way Mini Toggle: Allows players to switch between distinct, multi-voiced tonal profiles—ranging from modern, high-gain brutality to clean, razor-sharp articulation.

Bulletproof Construction & Fast Playability

Beyond its visual impact, this signature Rhoads is a seriously advanced tonal platform designed for both speed and stability.

Key Build Features:

• Three-Piece Neck-Thru Construction: Reinforced with graphite rods and paired with Alder wings, creating a rigid, resonance-rich structure for massive sustain.

• 12″–16″ Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard: Designed for versatility. Chords feel natural and controlled in the lower register, while the flatter upper frets enable lightning-fast lead work.

• 24 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets: Built for supreme durability and effortless bending.

• Jackson Sealed Locking Tuners: Provide dependable stability that complements the EverTune system for a virtually bulletproof, road-ready setup.

From Teenage Dream to Signature Reality

For Christian Andreu, the connection to the Rhoads shape traces back to his youth, sparked by seeing Metallica’s Kirk Hammett wield a similar silhouette.

“It started as love at first sight when I was 15, seeing the legendary Kirk Hammett wield this iconic shape. It was the most metal thing I’d ever seen, and I was hooked,” Andreu explained.

“Twenty years later, holding my first Jackson RR signature model turned that teenage dream into reality. And now, I’m even more excited to introduce my brand-new RR signature guitar. This instrument isn’t just something I play live; it’s an extension of who I am.”

Reflecting on the guitar’s playability, Andreu added, “It’s also an honor to represent the first‑ever RR model equipped with an EverTune bridge! With an unbelievably smooth neck, perfect balance, and effortless playability, this guitar feels like it was built for me. I couldn’t be prouder of how it turned out.”

Whether you’re holding down crushing rhythm parts or tearing through high-gain solos, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Christian Andreu Rhoads RR24 EVTN6 is ready for war, night after night.
