The Ernie Ball Music Man Jason Richardson 7 HT in Kokiri Forest is one of the most advanced modern 7-string guitars available today — built for speed, precision, and progressive metal performance. Featuring a lightweight alder body with a buckeye burl maple top, this Artist Series model blends boutique aesthetics with the technical reliability Music Man is known for.
The roasted figured maple neck with ebony fretboard is carved for ultra-fast playability, offering effortless access to all 24 stainless steel frets thanks to the sculpted extended cutaway. This Kokiri Forest finish is one of Music Man’s most striking colours — deep, vibrant, and highly sought after by collectors and modern players.
At the core of this guitar are the exclusive Jason Richardson HT humbuckers, designed for maximum clarity, tight low end, and aggressive punch. The HT bridge pickup delivers massive output with exceptional note separation, while the HT neck pickup offers a rich, expressive voice with a superior coil-tap that produces a powerful, authentic single-coil sound. A push/push volume boost adds up to 20dB for solos or high-gain rhythm work, and the push/push tone knob handles coil-splitting with ease.
Combined with a custom Music Man tremolo system, premium tonewoods, and master-level craftsmanship, the Jason Richardson Signature 7 HT is a top-tier choice for shredders, progressive metal players, djent guitarists, and anyone looking for a high-performance 7-string with unmatched versatility.
If you’re searching for a modern 7-string that blends boutique looks, cutting-edge electronics, and exceptional playability, the Jason Richardson 7 HT in Kokiri Forest is one of the best guitars on the market.
