Jackson Pro Series Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT7FM

A behemoth seven-string from the Periphery riff-master

- Jonathan Horsley

Misha Mansoor’s signature guitar is built with heavy in mind. A veritable monster, the Juggernaut boasts a custom contoured body, painstakingly hewn from basswood and topped with flame maple, a quarter-sawn maple neck, a typically lethal looking spearhead headstock and two custom-wound Jackson humbuckers. Pick it up off the rack and you won’t know whether to fret a power chord or go hunting wild boar in the foothills of the Alps. Choose the former and you’ll find that there’s a ferocity to its tone that makes this a natural fit for any metal guitarist who’s looking to let off some fireworks in their bassist’s register. After all, that is Mansoor’s stock-in-trade.
