Misha's baritone

This ragged Jackson guitar is a signature baritone for guitarist Misha Mansoor (Periphery). It's referred to as a Surfcaster but we know that's not how a Surfcaster headstock looks like. But it doesn't matter, a signature interpretation lets the endorser dictates how his instrument should look like. If you like the guitar, you just buy it. This one's listed for USD8,999...

Surf's up

Jackson Surfcasters are in at Swee Lee. The JS Series, the most affordable iteration, list for $399. This is basically a no-frills model with no fancy inlays. The X Series lists for $879 (shark fin inlays). The 7-string version is $50 more.

Jackson 2025

Jackson took this year to re-introduce the Surfcaster model (X-Series). That's right, the surfcaster design is not new. This simple, non-whammy bridge design should appeal to the offset camp.

Thank you, Jackson, for remembering us, the marginalised shallow pocket citizens who wouldn't want to miss out on the fun - a JS22 model is also available.
