Quality
Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
yes excellent craftsmanship, I believe many years of playing.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
only had it 3 days, just make sure you buy a swivle wall hanger to hang it because it will never fit on a floor stand and would not let it sit on the ground to get messed up, but as far as taking care of it I don't think I will have any issues, full faith in jackson guitars.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This is now my favorite guitar. I have a 98 ameri std. strat, esp ltd 103, godin freeway w/ emg's, and now my jackson rr5fr and do not want to touch anything else.
