I Confess… I Secretly Love These 5 Guitars! 

As a guy who loved heavy guitars. They heavier the better was my go to thing. But recently those really thin ibanez s series guitars have been really catching my eye. I'm not sure if the constitutes guilty pleasure by its the first thing that came to my head.

1. Killer - Akira Takasaki signature 2. Schecter "Cygnus" aka JLX-6 FR → apparently a Jeff Loomis signature, you can even find some promo pics and a promo video, but no live footage 3. Lado Earth → Adrian Smith "Live After Death" PS yeah, I've a soft spot for X guitars

this vid is pretty well made im surprised the algorithm hasnt gotten it out there more

Hey brother! Glad to see you continuing to grow the channel man..over 4k?!! WOW dude...keep slaying it buddy..10k will be here before you know it. I hope you and the family are good as always... finally got time to catch up on some of your content 😊

Hahah I feel honoured to be in this video. I'm still salty about Warlocks but I can see where you're coming from so I'll let it slide lol. My own guilty pleasure guitar? Probably the Parker Fly!

I gotta say, I love the esp sparrowhawk

My guitar guilty pleasure: Single humbucker ashthorpe guitar - so low budget and yet I find it so relaxing to play compared to my other guitars 😂 Congrats on getting closer to your milestone!

Hey Jack, love your videos man. The quality of the content, editing and playing is way beyond your subscriber count and I’m sure if you keep making videos because you love it with no expectations, your channel will grow one day to the size it deserves. Anyway I don’t have any outlandish guilty pleasure guitars, the only one I would love is a James Tyler. Has to be the ugliest headstock ever created, but it’s offset by being regarded as one of the best built guitars in the world, which I would happily take as a trade off. Now if I only had $18k to buy the one hanging in my local shop. 😅

Terrance Hobbs from Suffocation made me love the warlock

Love the guilty pleasures man! My guilty pleasure is an early 2000's squire strat in sunburst that I picked up in a music shop in scunny for about 75 quid! I decided to have a crack at being a luthier and went to town at it with a sander and a router 😂 It's now a Matt black flathead, hardtail, complete with jumbo stainless frets, locking tuners and a set of emg actives! It's so bastardised due to it's ridiculousness but I love it's little quirks! I had to solder the 3 way switch on, and the switch is backwards to which pickup it selects, and the 9v battery is duck taped to the back of the pick guard in the middle pickup slot! But it chugs, so who cares! Have a good Xmas man!

Hey Jack, I'm happy that most of the comments are positive ☺️. It's a great sign and it shows that your genuine energy has an effect on people! Of course there will always be some guy yelling about how Solar guitars are the best thing ever. Or that headless guitars are ugly ! ( personally I think they look extraordinary. ) Oops I had to edit because I forgot to list the guitars I would buy if I could play and buy any guitar in the world . Firstly, this is a no brainer . A Strandberg made in Japan with a zany paint job ! Then there's Synster Gates signature guitar. It's a thing of beauty and I played one a few years ago. Sadly it was expensive and it was heavy. Since I was a wee child I've had a soft spot for Japanese guitars. My profile picture is the neck of an Esp Forest GT. Recently I was able to try one with Bareknuckle pickups . The paint job was nebula ( purple , blue and changing colour every time you look at it) Anyway I forgot to check how much it was and as soon as I heard the price i asked the guitar shop employee to take it from me as I'll never have 10,000 dollars to spend on one guitar and if I did I think I would put it towards a custom built headless guitar . By the way the Esp forest gt sounded amazing ! Here's another crazy guitar It's called a Manson Oryx. It's a beast of a thing with bare knuckle pickups ! Freaking mind blowing 🤯 www.mansonguitarworks.com/oryx-vi-custom-redwood I believe this one was made for Nolly from Periphery But I definitely want to get a Matt Bellamy Manson with a kaoss pad ( cause who doesn't want to make crazy noises on a pad on your guitar). The Matt bellamy guitar has sustainiac pickups which has me very interested. I like to do volume swells while soloing and a sustainiac is the closest I'll get to playing a violin but it's a guitar ! Dude 😆 . The music man Kaizen is gorgeous l Oh damn I didn't know Aristides guitars were not made of wood! Those things are heavenly " i bet they only use plugins " 😂. Ouch! Solar guitars sound freaking massive but I expect they are heavier than 3.5 kilograms . I only play guitars that are 2.5 kilograms to 3 kilos because my back and neck cannot handle the weight. I've played Tim Henson's signature Ibanez THBB 10 . I actually bought one and returned it the next day. The gold hardware and DiMarzio Tim Henson pickups are glorious . It was 4 kilograms or so and no amount of beauty and explosive guitar tones is worth it if it results in me ending up with one shoulder in the air. Hahaha you kept all the bloopers😅 Your story about Slipknot resonated with me, because i discovered metal at 11 or 12 too. Slipknot aren't my cup of tea but their song Snuff is incredible! I think Linkin Park was the first metal band I got into 😊 Anyway there's my essay 🤪 for this video. I'm stoked to see you're getting more subscribers dude as you truly deserve the positive results . Just remember at the end of the day you're still successful as long as you're doing what you love. The difference between 50 subscribers and 500 subscribers is time ane dedication i suppose 😂.

I love the look of the Solar guitars but am worried about ordering one because of the distance it would have to travel to get to me in one piece

Those guitars are so sick, I’ll probably never try one of those just because I can’t wrap myself around super modern guitars (the most modern guitar I’ve ever owned was a Charvel so cal, an 80s shred machine😂) but I’d love to try playing one, to see if my opinion change. My guilty pleasure guitar is a very grandpa guitar: I’d love to play and own a gibson Les Paul junior (or a Dc junior) Even though I’m more of a fender guy As always, love your content and I’m always ready to support you and your channel🤙🏻 Julian from Italy 🇮🇹

I think my Indonesian made Jackson Dinky is my guilty pleasure guitar because I find myself playing it more than my USA Fender 😅

Huge B.C.Rich fan Kaizen is really cool, finally sth Modern Aristides - Awesome stuff Solar X - input jack is near the Weiner Abasi - awesome modern guitar. great video man.

I’ve been obsessing over single pickup pointy Floyd guitars recently like the LTD SD-2, Jackson Brandon Ellis Kelly and that single pickup Solar X model, but I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger, feel like those pointy shapes with a Floyd are for shredlords only, and I’m definitely a humble riffer. Also I’ve started buying less traditional shapes these past few years cos it’s what Ive always been drawn to but afraid to commit to owning, so at the min I’m rocking a Dunable R2 and an LTD Sparrowhawk and I’m in love with both, so I say don’t be afraid to commit to owning a guilty pleasure guitar

I have some guilty pleasures guitars that I will never EVER be able to get: 1- Bill Kelliher Eclipse, out of production 2- MusicMan Kaizen, for all the reasons you said 😁 3- Ibanez JCRG2204 J-Custom, those top with burl and resin is out of this world 😳

Gotta say my guilty guitar pleasures are my Gibsons man..once I pick one up it's months before I play another guitar..lol..my SG kick of 7 months recently gave way to my Les Paul craving and it's been weeks. Lol..play it everyday..gonna play it now as a matter of fact..lol....oh man I'd love that Chapman brother.

Man like Jack! Been waiting for another upload. Look at these comments dude you’re genuinely creating a little community here and it’s so sick. My guilty pleasure is is quite a boring one tbf but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody actually play one.. EVH Wolfgang! I just love the original style of them. Don’t think I’d want to own one but I really dig it’s original shape. Hope you’re all well bud.

I love pointy guitars, Warlock always been my favorite shape since always All the first you shown are amazing. I just played the Kaizen on a shop last week and man, you'll love it as soon hoy it in your hands PS. As I said,I love pointy guitars and my metal version of the reverse V still in works

My guilty pleasure is strumming MGK's Mom. The tone is warm and fuzzy.

Paused at 4:30 to comment. I’d get the dark purple Kaizen in a heartbeat if I could but I’m not working at the moment and have other guitars higher on my GAS list for when the money comes in !! Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

my guilty pleasures are defo the Kaizen and Strandberg, more cos of the ergonomics then anything else, the Kaizen looks like the perfect one for people with shoulder problems

I've wanted a Warlock since the 80's being a huge WASP fan & it being Blackie Lawless signature guitar. So i recently got the black Stranger Things version as it's the closest BC Rich do to the model he would have played. In fact i love all the BC Rich designs & may well end up with one of each. I do love Ola & the Solar X too & i can see one of them in my future. As to Ola's love of Dime I managed to get my hands on a Dean Razorback not too long ago as well.

I don't know if I have a guilty pleasure guitar shape, but I am a sucker for pink guitars. They just look cool. MGK's Schecter PT catches my eye for some reason, though I'm not a fan of the dude's music. Anyway, keep up the good work ✌

I play death metal and retro speed metal and some NWOBHM type stuff. But I love neon and crackle hair metal coloured guitars. If I could get a neon green or orange or a crackle strandberg I'd be so happy. If I had $4000.00 just sitting around I'd get an Aristides. Super light weight and they don't need a setup when the weather changes.

So... as an extreme metal head who *is* into black metal and all things pointy, my guilty pleasures are the "normal" guitars. Probably the biggest one is my Ibanez S320 who is approching 15 years old easy. I just don't play her anymore because she doesn't sit right on me now I mainly play Vs and Xs but I'm far too emotionally invested in her to give her up. Other then that... actually I don't think I *have* any other guilty pleasures, you like what you like and there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. Also yes, those Warlocks are fire... Ok, that's my "guilty" pleasure; guitars with large amounts of binding.

How old were you when you started playing the electric guitar? Did you go to musical school? Did you attend any guitar lessons? I am a subscriber of your channel man, and I love what you are doing. Hope you can also review some tagimas brands, jet guitars, eart, keipro. Keepsafe man. Godbless! From the 🇵🇭

Guilty pleasure? My 2004 squier bullet strat that I paid $88 for in 2007, replaced the hardware, pickups and paid for luthier to refret the thing with bigger frets. I do believe it sounds as good as any USA made strat, and in total cost me less than $400. I sometimes wonder if I am the first person to pay for a refret on a bullet strat.

Guitars I secretly want would be probably any Flying V , also something sparkly in a gaudy color, like a daisy rock rock candy 😂 also as someone who grew up playing more “modern” looking guitars like Ibanez RG, there is a certain urge (maybe just coming with age?) to get something more “classic” like a good ole telecaster or something , also the fender paranormal super-sonic is looking pretty nice…

I secretly want one of those Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Bat guitars. By Dean I believe if they are still in business. A person needs serious balls to play one of these monstrosities, and I want to test mine.

I have to say, my guilty guitar pleasure would 1000% be a Hellraiser C9. Yeah it's dumb and unusable, I may not even know what I'd do with one, but man, when I saw Rob Scallon's Royale video, it made me want to buy one on the spot...

I like the new warlocks, and I historically haven't like them much at all. I like the Type X as well

Tough question, but it’s probably the steinberger headless guitars. Just something about playing a boat paddle with strings that I find kinda endearing 😅 wish they were owned by a company that’s not gibson bc goddamn they’re really neglected atm

I got a SG VE but I always wanted a Les Paul. My guilty pleasure was the Gibson Flying V. I couldn't imagine myself playing a Gibson Flying V, it's expensive and I think that I don't deserve to play it. But I love it, I love the design, how it looks and sounds. Maybe one day if I become a good guitarist with a budget I might buy one.

Guilty Pleasure: Duesenberg Starplayer TV Phoinc in Black. There ya go 😎

Was that a ml2 pro i saw at the start of the video? if so, is there a review coming out, and do you like it?

I love the cheaper Ibanez guitars. I’ve got a seven string that was roughly £400 and it’s my main guitar. I’ve also got a cheap Ibanez bass that is unbelievably comfortable compared to my other guitars.

Ugh I've wanted a Warlock so bad

I mean, who doesn't have a B.C. Rich Warlock? I know, it was my first electric guitar, candy red, the whammy bar was never given to me, so I cannot even use the bridge like it's suppose to be used. To be honest, I really want a Explorer type guitar, for no other reason that Metallica plays them and Metallica was the band that introduced me to metal and I never looked back! And it's gotta have EMGs in it, because why bother if it doesn't? Hey, you looking for that X shape, Solar has their Black Sabbath sale going on, so now's not a bad time to buy if someone is looking.

Guitars I secretly Love... 1 - Gibson Reverse Flying V 2 - Bendo Distortocaster 3 - Any Shovel-based electric guitar build

I don't know about a guilty pleasure but I love guitars with thick necks. I don't mean vintage Gibsons and such either. I can't really say why but huge, baseball bat necks are so much more comfortable to play than these ultra-thin modern shredder necks to me. Not just more comfortable in my hand but I also seem to play faster and smoother and my hand doesn't get tired like it does while playing a guitar with a neck smaller than my wrist. There I said it. It's out in the open and I feel better about it. 😉

i really love the shape of the .... Epiphone Xtreme G-400 ... there I said it. It's like an SG but , somehow -TWICE. No it does not look like a giant earwig how dare you ! It was in my watch list for a while but I'm mostly a baritone guy. If they'd made any in 27" scale length I would have been unable to stop myself.

My guilty pleasure is to play a hello kitty guitar just to see if I look like an idiot or a legend shredding on it 😂

My guilty pleasure is the Minarik FLAME guitar, looks totally fkin ridiculous and impracticable as fkk but they sound deadly

i have 2 guilty pleasure guitars, the first is the frank brothers trillium white signature model with tortoise shell everywhere but come on tell me thats not a gorgeous looking guitar, and my second would definitely have to be the blue sparkle epiphone les paul tommy thayer signature model. there ive said it, dont judge me, dont hate me 🤣

Im into purple guitars, i don't know why but they look so good... and if it's in an explorer/X or similar shape then im lost. But im into classic/hard Rock and not a metal player

Dean ml's are my guilty pleasure for sure, unfortunately i do not like the feel of them they but they look so cool

Guilty pleasure guitars? Now that is a hard question. Since I'm not realy fan of pointy guitars, I would say something like Jackson King V Pro (with reversed head stock), LTD Nergal Hex-6 or Ibanez X Iron Label.

i hate single cuts but love a nice bc rich ironbird with kahler

You like pointy guitars?

bc rich mocking bird is my guilty pleasure

Gibson Explorer 😅

My guilty pleasures huh... I love big guitars. just... big... just like me. I have a guitar with an 840mm scale because of that. Just because I'm a big guy and a "normal guitar" looks miniature on me; mom's words, that I look like I am holding a sandwich :( got a Japanese boutique builder make me one, she can no longer talk shit because that neck is longer than hers. > Sago Kirin Custom model

I own a Dime Dixie Rebel. Gets a few raised eyebrows nowadays. Its great to play though and people seem fine once I've looked them in the eyes and said "I'm not a racist".

BC Rich Warbeast and Mockingbird are some of mine. They look so unique but they're beautiful. I probably won't own one because I could get a Soloist pro for less, the BC Rich's need to be slightly cheaper then I'd snag one.

Honestly man, my biggest guilty pleasure Guitar is the BC Rich Draco in black, it’s a poorly constructed, gaudy, edgelord, gothic mess.. to most people 😅😅 I fucking love that guitar 😬😬 when I was working in a music store I would spend my whole lunch break playing the one they had in store, sounded good to 15 year old me and I’m sure I could mod one into an absolute weapon 👌

Gotta be a BC Rich Mockingbird, first time I saw Slash play it and realised it wasn't a Les Paul he was playing (enter Leonardo Decaprio watching TV meme) I was like "ooooooooooo". And to be honest, any guitar that's blacked out or metal I just love! Ibanez's, Jim Root sigs, Schecters, Jackson's, even... Kramers! Yours sincerely, A punk/blues player 😂😂😂
