Jackson Pro Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT7 CMN BSB

The Pro series of the American brand Jackson represents professional quality electric guitars designed for professional players and the general music public. In addition, instruments with typical company design, quality workmanship and great playing characteristics can still be purchased at a price that won't break your budget. Specifically, the Superstrats with the Juggernaut label and original design with distinctively pointed horns were created in collaboration with Misha Mansoor of the American djent band Periphery.

The body of this seven-string guitar is made of lime wood. The bolted-on one-piece maple neck with graphite bracing also features a flat-radius (20") maple fingerboard fitted with twenty-four jumbo-sized frets. The neck and fingerboard were heat-treated before assembly, making the wood more stable and giving the guitar an exclusive look (Caramelized Maple). Orientation around the fingerboard surface, even in the darkest corners of the stage, is made easier by offset position dots and side luminescent markers.

The two Jackson MM1 humbuckers provide the instrument's sound with the balanced tone and dynamics needed to deliver uncompromising metal riffs, sing-along solos or chord breakdowns. Volume potentiometers, tone controls and a five-position pickup switch are used for sonic adjustments. The Push/Pull tone diaphragm function is not used for traditional humbucker coil splitting (this is offered by the position 2 and 4 switches), but for bypassing the potentiometer itself. Tuning stability and good intonation are assured by the strings' attachment in the company's locking Die-Cast tuning machines and the solid Jackson HT-7 through-body anchored tailpiece. The guitar's stylish look is accentuated by the Blue Sky Burst colour scheme and black hardware.

For several decades now, electric guitars from the American brand Jackson have appealed primarily to musicians from metal, metal/core, HC or djent bands who profess a loud sound with a more or less diluted dose of aggression, as evidenced by the company's roster of players. However, the radical metal design can also enchant adventurous musicians from the completely opposite musical spectrum, as evidenced, for example, by Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, who in turn clearly prove that the sound of Jackson instruments can make its way into genres built on a clean, warm sound.
