I bought by curiosity an older HT6 version a month ago which was on a heavy sale. It has very nice tones, killer palm mute sounds, and that's truly the most comfortable guitar I've ever played, way over other guitars twice its price. Now I can't appreciate playing my Gibson LP anymore. No joke.
It's pretty nice, I wanted one ,I got it for way less ,its crazy how the notes are so clear, I wish it had some things : Hipshot bridge and tuners Stainless frets I might put those things on there ,not sure,if the frets ever wear out.
I have to give it to this dude. He knows wtf he’s doing when it comes to designing gear. Down to every last detail. I bought one of his guitars. It plays beautiful. Feels nice and looks great. I’m very happy with it.
I JUST got one of these HT6's - Pro model. Wow, out of 12+ guitars(PRS, ESP etc), this played great out of the box. The feel of the body? 10/10. It feels so good. My first Jackson but not my last. Just make sure you get the roasted maple neck and not the previous versions!
Gonna miss the old series, kind of a bummer the trans red one was only in production for one year but this new set looks 🔥 as fuck! Especially the matte blue and the burst
Neck profiles are also different. The original pro series was basically a Jackson speed neck. New pro series is like the neck profile on the US Misha sig, which is thicker and has steeper shoulders.
That's cool but does Misha actually play any of his pro series on tour? I see Mark always using his prs se models which is very impressive I think. I played on a flat grey pros series ht6 last year and was thoroughly unimpressed by the sound/features for the price tag on it.
I would like to buy it too. I know it sucks. My parents don't even give me money. I only get money, sometimes, from my grandparents. I have 60€. Btw dead meme.
There should be an option for us (owners of the pro 2017 model) to upgrade the neck from 16inch to the 20 inch roasted maple neck, could you please sell us the 20 inch neck ?
@3:16 “The tone knob is actually blocked out of the circuit until you lift it up…” Does any one know how to do this?! Would love to replicate this on a custom build I’ve been working on 🤘🏼 Please!
The flat blue with roasted maple looks awesome. I bought the older Gunmetal Gray HT6 used last year. Sold it 2 months later. It was decent but it didn’t feel versatile enough for my own use. I’d prefer a coil split over the tone cut. Position 2 & 4 weren’t as bright as I wanted although they were decent in their own right. Ideally I’d keep the pickup selections the same but swap the tone kill with a coil split for full single coil bridge and neck and put in a different set of pickups.
Just bought one of these and had to refund it. Heard about QC nightmares for years, but I decided to try one anyways. The tone knob was falling off the guitar, fret coming unglued from the neck, and finish imperfections galore. Worst guitar I’ve purchased in 20 years of playing.
The USA model is 5K!!!???? And the pro model is about 1K.... What the Hell? I could buy literally a Les Paul owned by Slash for the price of a USA model.... Like really?
You could custom build a Kiesel Aries for less money then the USA model,complete with roasted neck/fretboard,ss-frets,glow in the dark markers,Hipshot USA fixed bridge or tremolo(OFR and Evertune are also available) and Made in USA pickups,not that cheapo Jackson ones.(you can even send in your pickups of choice and they will install it for little extra fee) An Aries 6string with a solid finish(no fancy exotic top) Hipshot Contour fixed bridge and roasted maple neck goes for 1,300 USD and that´s a Made in USA custom build guitar.
@@MK4vDubbin Yeah,it´s a different guitar.It doesn´t have Misha´s name on it and doesn´t cost 4,000 USD more because of that. A superstrat,is a superstrat.
greekfreak1980 I wouldn’t buy any signature guitar at that price point, but I completely disagree that a superstat is a superstrat. I had a $2500 Vader built. It felt like a $1200 guitar with fancy top woods to be honest. Well built but incredibly unremarkable. The Hipshot trem is built like a tank but feels unrefined and the arm retention design is just poor. No rolled fret board edges and overall felt it was missing hand finishing like you would expect from any other guitar at that price point. I think Kiesels at $1,200 are a nearly unbeatable value but anything over that is a waste. A Kiesel is not even in the same realm as a Suhr, Tom Anderson, USA ESP, etc.
Maybe it was just the ones at Sam Ash in Hollywood. I played a bunch of his signature guitars. the USA made ones were absolutely beautiful as far as craftsmanship and looks. I just preferred the way the 800.00 dollar one felt vs the 3000. It played better to me and the sound wasn't that much different. Maybe I am used to sub 1200 dollar guitars who knows. Or the imports I played were set up really nice. So if I am tricking people I say go and play them and be your own judge. I don't want to mislead anyone with my personal opinion on a guitar.
I’ve now purchased and returned a total of 7 of these from various retailers due to quality control issues. The finishes are all over the place and the neck screw holes have been chewed up on every single one. One of the guitars had a light spot in the finish so I wiped it very gently with a microfiber cloth, and blue pigment came off of the guitar. Completely ridiculous, and absolutely disappointing.

Misha, I really think you worked for Jackson guitars before you started your band profession. Apparently Jackson is centered around you for some reason. I'm bored and tired of it.
does it still suck as bad as the previous versions? you know, with frets that aren't seated or leveled at all. tuners that can't hold a note. Terrible cuts of ebony. All for the deal of 800 dollars
@@Sjguitarpnwhuh? these are pro series guitars they're not that expensive at all. pro series is about 850$ and you can find them on sale for 500$ sometimes. they outgoing models were hit or miss i wouldnt buy one of these unless you plan on upgrading it. stock pickups leave a bit to be desired and the tuners are trash. the rest of the guitar is fine. i do like the new neck but id still be apprehensive to buy it at 850 it should have quality hardware atleast, pickups are subjective so what sounds good to you may not to me so i always give guitars a pass on pickups for that reason. but ya theses arent that expensive. in my opinion you are better off spending a little more and getting the mark holcomb prs se it comes with quality hardware and high signature seymour duncan pickups and it sounds and plays great. it also has a 20 in radius btw
"Not a lot of guitars have a 20" radius" -- there's a reason for that, lol. It's great around the 9th fret and beyond. Not so great above that. Can you say hand cramps? Also no stainless steel frets? Pass.
The only manufacturer currently putting stainless steel frets on guitars under $1000 is Harley Benton, and that's on guitars with extremely cheap pickups and hardware. For the price these are pretty decently spec'd - there's no way Jackson could keep these in their current price range without using nickel frets
@@BenRobsonMusic I just checked and maybe you're actually right, couldn't find anything about fret material which suggest to me they're not stainless steel. I got the Tiger Eye finish.

Misha prefers bolt-ons, that's why. Even his USA signature guitars are bolt-on.
