I think that's a Student Model (dots) Jackson. Those didn't have the fretboard binding or inlays but were high quality USA guitars.

Yeah, he had a Student Rhoads and I think this is it and the way the photo is cut it looks like it also could be a King V.

Wasn't what is often mislabeled as a "KING" V originally called a DOUBLE Rhoads ?
"KING" was a version of that made larger for Robbin "KING" Crosby of Ratt.
Correct ????

Yeah you’re right.
Still think it’s weird seeing Vinnie without his “signature” Rhoads guitars.

The guitar he is playing in the photo is still a regular "Rhoads" guitar. It's just one of the first with dot inlays and no binding.

The double Rhoads is a bigger guitar. The wings are longer than a King V's. It was also a pretty much Custom Shop order and didn't go into production as a "regular model".
