Jackson teams up with longtime partner and Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor to introduce the PRO PLUS SERIES LIMITED EDITION SIGNATURE MISHA MANSOOR JUGGERNAUT ET8. In a first for the brand, this model brings the highly requested EverTune Bridge to a Jackson eight-string guitar, delivering unparalleled tuning stability across Misha’s expansive tonal range. Engineered for players who demand precision without compromise, the Juggernaut ET8 is a bold fusion of innovation and raw performance.
“I’m so excited to finally have an eight-string signature model, and it’s a special one, too,” said Misha Mansoor. “We have been working on the design for a while now, and I think the EverTune was the final piece of the puzzle. Periphery uses eight strings quite a bit, and both live and in the studio, the EverTune has made it so I can focus more on my performance and tone and let the bridge handle the tuning stability.”
Misha Mansoor, co-founder and guitarist of progressive metal band Periphery and pioneer of the djent movement, epitomizes technical mastery and forward-thinking artistry that Jackson celebrates through his signature series. Building on his 2025 Juggernaut releases, including the HT6, HT7, HT7P, ET6 and ET7, the highly anticipated ET8 reflects the natural evolution of a partnership rooted in shared values of premium craftsmanship and sonic exploration, while also making history as Jackson’s first-ever EverTune bridge eight-string guitar.

“The EverTune on the eight-string for Misha is a long-awaited fan favorite,” said Peter Wichers, Product Development Manager, Jackson Guitars. “Eight-string guitars demand a lot, and the extended range and lower tunings can make staying in tune a real challenge, especially under the heat of stage lights or the grind of a long tour. The EverTune bridge keeps every string locked in pitch, so that low F# or A stays as tight and punchy as the moment you tuned it. Players can solely focus on their performance and creativity rather than stopping to retune between songs.”
