NGD! Jackson USA Juggernaut HT6 in matte lambo orange (backstory included)

[Elreago]

So, I got myself a new guitar. A Jackson USA Juggernaut HT6 in the super rare and beautiful Matte Lambo Orange finish. But it didn’t come without its issues!

I bought it used from a shop on reverb and it arrived last Monday with the top strap peg snapped off - good job DPD...

Naturally I was heartbroken but after a bit of googling and a lot of deliberation I decided that the guitar was too rare and too beautiful for me to send back and risk never finding one again. The orange juggernauts have been my dream guitar ever since I played Misha’s personal one at a clinic in London a few years back.

So, long story short, I took it to a tech in London who fixed and colour matched it as best as he possibly could, and this is the result. An imperfect but still absolutely beautiful guitar that sounds incredible and plays like butter. Definitely the best guitar I’ve ever laid my hands on and I’m glad I decided to keep it.

Here’s some pics! As you can see in the last two, the damage was pretty bad but he’s done a good job of fixing it and I’m very happy with it.

Gorgeous color and that blows what happened to it.

Congrats however!

I assume shipping insurance helped cover of that?

Actually DPD aren’t accepting responsibility, claiming it wasn’t packaged properly. The seller packaged it exactly the way it was sent to him originally though so he’s paying me back for the repair.

Thanks!

The way I see it is that it has a story now, makes it even more ‘my’ guitar if that makes sense. I love it.

Well that's good news.

Stunning color and too bad about the "disaster", but if its fixable thats what it matters.


Congrats

Welcome to the boards. Bummer your Jackson got damaged, but looks like the repair job went well enough. Pretty sure my next upgrade is going to be a Juggernaut, but the 7 string variety. Any clips of how it sounds? What rig are you running it through?
