Per Nilsson is a Swedish guitarist and producer. He is best known as one of the founding members of the melodic death metal/progressive metal band Scar Symmetry and as the guitarist for the Swedish progressive rock group Kaipa. As of June 2017 he is also the interim lead guitarist for Meshuggah, replacing Fredrik Thordendal, who went on hiatus.
In January 2013, Guitar Messenger released a guitar instructional DVD with Per called Scar Guitar. Aside from working with his main bands, Per does mixing, mastering and full productions for other bands.
Until 2013 he was endorsed by Ibanez guitars. He is now endorsed by Strandberg Guitars, who in collaboration with him has created the Strandberg Singularity, his first signature guitar. To date, only seven string versions of the Singularity have been commercially available, but in May 2017, two eight string Singularity prototypes were revealed.
He primarily plays extended range guitars, though he has often used an Ibanez JEM 6 string to record his solos in the past.
Per is a member of the high IQ society Mensa International, his IQ being "135 or higher" on the Wechsler scale (which translates to 156 or higher on the Cattell scale).
