The Ibanez Universe is the first mass-produced seven-string electric guitar, developed with Steve Vai and launched in 1990. It pairs a thin, fast Wizard neck and a Floyd Rose-style locking tremolo with a low B string, extending range for heavy riffing and extended-range lead playing. Loaded with hot humbuckers, it delivers tight, aggressive high-gain tone with a deep low end while staying articulate for fast technical work. It helped launch the seven-string movement adopted by nu-metal and progressive metal players, and Wes Borland used one on Limp Bizkit's debut. It suits metal, nu-metal and shred where extended low-end range and fast playability matter.
The Jackson Misha Mansoor Juggernaut is the Periphery guitarist's signature model, a Dinky-derived superstrat with a caramelized mahogany body, flame maple top, graphite-reinforced bolt-on neck and (on most versions) a fixed bridge or Evertune for tuning stability. Loaded with Bare Knuckle pickups, it is built for modern progressive metal and djent, delivering a tight, articulate, aggressive voice with clear note separation under high gain and down-tuned riffing. The fast neck and stable hardware suit technical rhythm and fluid leads. It is a refined, performance-focused metal guitar optimized for clarity and tightness rather than vintage warmth.
