Is the JS32T good for beginners?

Yes. It is a common first V-shaped guitar, though a setup by a tech helps it play its best.

Does it have a tremolo?

No. The JS32T uses a fixed string-through bridge, unlike tremolo-equipped Rhoads models.

What pickups does it use?

Two Jackson high-output humbuckers with ceramic magnets, wired to a three-way toggle, one volume and one tone.

How many frets does it have?

24 jumbo frets on a 12"-16" compound-radius amaranth fingerboard.

It is a solid poplar body, so it has some weight, but the V shape balances well on a strap.

The guitar itself; a cable, strap and gig bag are usually sold separately.

About the Jackson JS Series Rhoads JS32T Electric Guitar

The Jackson JS Series Rhoads JS32T is a 6-string electric guitar with an angular Rhoads-style body. The body is poplar. The bolt-on maple speed neck has graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint for stability.

The fully bound amaranth fingerboard has 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays. Its compound radius runs from 12" to 16". The fingerboard is more curved near the black plastic nut for chords and gradually flattens in the upper registers for solos and wide bends.

Two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets are controlled by a single volume knob, a single tone knob and a three-way toggle switch. The guitar has an adjustable string-through compensated bridge and die-cast tuners. It has a black pickguard and black hardware.
