Djent forefather and speed demon Misha Mansoor has gained widespread acclaim as the mastermind behind the axe-centric progressive metal band Periphery. He's known to impress the most discerning of metal fans with his steadfast, fleet-fingered technique and his personally designed collection of Jackson signature Juggernaut instruments is sure to set any shredder's tone ablaze. For 2017, Jackson adds a new Pro Series version of the Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT6, offering many similar features as his U.S.A. model with a price tag that is easier on the wallet.
The Pro Juggernaut HT6 features a basswood body, one-piece bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement and wrap-around heel for comfort, 16"" flat radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, offset inlay dots, Luminlay side-dots and convenient thumb wheel truss rod butt adjust. Not willing to sacrifice tone, Mansoor spent considerable time working with Jackson to develop new, killer-sounding Jackson MM1 pickups, which can be shaped with a master volume and master tone control with push/pull select and five-way blade switch. Also features a Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge, Jackson die-cast locking tuners, black hardware and reverse Jackson 3x3 (3 over, 3 under) AT-1 headstock. Available in Satin Gun Metal Gray and Satin White.
Real Neck-through Construction and Wrap-around Bolt-ons
Jackson Pro series instruments are exactly that-pro-level guitars for pro-level players. Neck-through-body models feature hand-rubbed oil neck finishes and graphite neck reinforcement rods for the ultimate in sleek playability and rock-solid sustain and stability. Bolt-on-neck models feature an innovative ""wrap-around"" three-bolt neck joint with remarkable strength, style and feel.
Floyd Rose Tremolos, Compensated Jackson Hi-mass Hard-tail and String-through Bridges
Jackson Pro series guitars are built with the very best parts for pro tone, stability and durability for stage and studio alike. Nowhere is this more evident than the bridge. Pro series guitars feature Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolos, Jackson Hi-Mass hard-tail and string-through bridges.
Compound-radius Fingerboards
Pro series models feature compound-radius fingerboards. Jackson pioneered the use of this innovative design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.
Gorgeous Jackson Style
Pro series models present Jackson players with an alluring assortment of stylistic features and options. These include ebony, maple and rosewood fingerboards; sharkfin, offset-dot and "piranha" fingerboard inlays; deep solid colors and beautifully figured tops; and, of course, the classic Jackson six-in-line headstock.
