Looks amazing, plays decently
Visually it looks like a RR1. It definitely doesn't play like a RR1 but it is a pretty good guitar for my purpose of playing for fun. Decent sound, decent neck and awesome finish.

Surprisingly good
Even though I'm aware of Jackson's reputation for serious QC issues on their lower end models, I really wanted a Rhoads, so I ordered this one. I was prepared for some major QC complaints and possibly a return.
However, I was pleasantly surprised that the QC on this one was almost perfect with a few very small exceptions - a few very small blemishes on the fretboard binding and a couple imperfections on the edge of the yellow paint.
My biggest issue is that the guitar is uncomfortable to play sitting down without a strap. This was expected though and it's inherent to the Rhoads shape. Another thing I don't like is how light colored the fretboard is - the wood has a washed out greyish-brown hue which doesn't look good with the gloss black paint. I plan to remedy this with a black stain at some point.
I would also replace the gold hardware with black and install a Schaller FR - the overall build quality is good enough to to make serious upgrades worth it.
In conclusion I'm satisfied with this purchase.

Nice guitar
nice solid guitar, looks and sounds great.
Out of the box tho, it desperately needs a fret level, crown and polish. Add a good setup and its a peach
