Idk why people expect a left hand version. It's a signature guitar and the guy is right handed.
All these years later and the Juggernaut is still the only guitar I dream of having but man, the price is now almost as much as they were charging for the original one-off lefty build so I can’t even imagine what a USA lefty build would be now, and unfortunately there is almost no hope of a lefty Pro Series in the near future (which I would be more than happy with for what it’s worth, I’d buy a 6 and 7 and no one would ever hear me complain again). I guess I’ll always be dreaming about this guitar, in the meantime I’m about to buy the Schecter John Browne Tao, it’s specs are almost exactly like the Juggernaut and Schecter is great to left handed players and makes the 6, 7, and 8 left handed and in fact they make a large majority of their lineup left handed, meanwhile I just checked Jackson’s website and they have only 5 left handed guitars and all of them are cheap garbage…
Honestly, you're not missing much with the Misha Sig. I had one for a while (snapped up a good deal used at Guitar Center) and, while it's a decent guitar, I was surprised by how cheap it felt. The finish was especially chintzy--it was the satin silver one and it felt like a toy. I can't believe Jackson is selling this guitar for $5K. That price is a total joke.
You could probably spec out something close enough through Kiesel and it would be half the price and much higher quality.
Wow you're really making me side with the lefty Juggernaut guy?Idk why people expect a left hand version. It's a signature guitar and the guy is right handed.

No one is expecting it. Some people think it would be nice for a prestige brand of one of the biggest guitar companies to offer their most popular model as a lefty. Ibanez had lefty JS and JEMs available, EBMM have usually offered lefty versions of all their guitars.
Jackson is a small shop and the effort to make one left handed guitar would be so negligible.
Yeah but if companies keep building left handed guitars, more people will start playing left handed and demand more left handed guitars. Then what? Left handed amps? Is that really the kind of world you want to live in?Wow you're really making me side with the lefty Juggernaut guy?

Thank you, that’s exactly the point I’ve been trying to make, and I’ll continue to use Schecter as an example, they offer a very large amount of their lineup in a left handed version, they certainly don’t have to do that but it’s a sign of good faith and caring about the consumer, same with the other brands you mentioned as well. Jackson could absolutely do a lefty Pro Series Juggernaut and see no profit loss at all, it wouldn’t hurt them in any way, but then not doing it definitely shows a lack of care and concern about their potential customers
Now that's a hill I did not expect to see someone die on.Yeah but if companies keep building left handed guitars, more people will start playing left handed and demand more left handed guitars. Then what? Left handed amps? Is that really the kind of world you want to live in?

But really, who cares? It's pretty normal to choose your dominate hand in any activity, and most players don't understand the whole right vs left guitar market when they first pick it up, and I would imagine is the main reason most are lefty.
There is and will always be lefty players. Why not sell to them?
Lefty, I hope you find something you like.
I'm an oddball in that I'm partially left-handed. I write lefty, hold a fishing rod lefty, shoot a gun lefty, hold power tools lefty, etc. But there are some things I do righty - throw a ball, kick a ball, etc.
I started shooting a bow (a cheap one) left-handed but when I was getting more serious (as a teenager), the only decent bows we had around were built for a righty. So I adjusted to re-learning to shoot righty.
With guitars, I really didn't have much choice (late 80's/early 90's). I don't know if guitar stores even carried a single lefty guitar (I never searched them out). I just saw righty guitars so I taught myself to play that way. I'm very happy with that decision, because the selection I have (versus left-handed) - it just doesn't compare.
Not telling you to convert (since that's stupid). Thankfully you have more choices now than when I started.
So again - hope you find what you're looking for or something close.
Ah yes, famously symmetrical instruments.Got a sick left-handed piano last week to go with my left-handed cello.
Said no one ever.
Just saying.... no one in an orchestra pit is playing a left handed instrument, but there are plenty of lefties playing the instruments. It is really only guitarists that seem to glom onto the idea of a flipped over instrument.Ah yes, famously symmetrical instruments.
I mean, this is just factually wrong. Most string instruments have been played in right and left handed orientations since they've existed. It's just that it's only with cutaways and electronics etc that instruments have been inherently ambidextrous.Just saying.... no one in an orchestra pit is playing a left handed instrument, but there are plenty of lefties playing the instruments.
