Your disrespect of all things Kerry King tempts me to rage unsubscribe. That BC Rich V looks top tier compared to the monstrosity he came up with a few years ago.
Anybody, ANYBODY Who can stick Steve Vai’s JEM ANYWHERE but legendary, should give up guitar completely, take up the oboe or something. You are technically a way, way better guitarist than me, but I now look down upon you.
I'm wishing he did, I already was saying that the British Steel cover is the only iconic Razorblade in all of metal; MGK only got his to the forefront only through "controversy"
Not super heavy metal, but I believe other iconic guitars are these: 1. Stevie Ray Vaughan's teared wood Stratocaster 2. David Gilmour's black Strat 3. Slash's (yup, I know...) sunburn Les Paul
@@zzodysseuszz They are similar, but Paul Stanley used it about 30 years before, and it is actually a real broken mirror, Marty's one has a kind of purple reflective material with the same pattern.
@@Kyle_Eversit can't be your opinion whether a thing is iconic. Wtf is wrong with people? In my opinion, 2+2=4. Either state a fact or an opinion. A thing can't be both.
Why no Jackson Rhoads? It was the first offset V and the very first Jackson guitar ever. And there is the whole Randy Rhoads angle,and it's the coolest v. Back in the day the most metal looking guitars were Jackson Rhoads and BC Rich warlocks.......
I used to work in the Guitar Gallery at Sweetwater so I have played a lot of these. Despite its looks, the Nuno Bettencourt Washburn is an incredible guitar. It sounds great, has unparalleled upper fret access, and has a super comfortable neck. 10/10
After 30+ years of playing/buying/selling guitars, I finally bought my first N4. There is no finer guitar available; the Majesty is close. I now have three N4's in different woods. Sold all other guitars except for RG that I custom built.
The handle on the Jem is surprisingly useful. I've got two Jems, and I find myself using the monkey grip all the time. It's kind of silly looking, but I honestly wish all guitars had them, from a pure utility standpoint.
I'm absolutely in love with the Ibanez JEM and I feel it's definitely up there among the most legendary guitars like Dime's and EVH's signature models. Absolutely gorgeous
I was in the guitar store to buy my first guitar. I want to buy a Les Paul, but then I saw a Marty Friedman Kelly (1998 Japan). I had to buy this guitar. Plays very nice.
My favorite guitar design is the Peter Tosh M16 guitar. Had to mention it before the end of the video so im not sure if it is listed in this. Hope you guys know what im talking about
Chris DeGarmo of Queensryche...ESP carved TriRyche (the Queensryche emblem) is the coolest guitar I have ever seen. If you rate a Hetfield guitar, it should be the ESP EET FUK guitar. It is legendary. The most metal guitar is BC Rich NJ Beast. If Petrucci's Majesty had a headstock that complemented the body, I would buy one. It is near perfect in design. My guitar...Washburn N4 Walnut.
Dimebag's Dean guitar feels very good to play on: Strings very close to neck without buzzing. It sort of feels like it plays itself. Downside: It's very big, and heavy. Massive guitar!
I got one of those Schecter avenger things practicly for free. Never been a fan of Synyster Gates but the guitar is fenomenal and the bodyshape grows on you, thankfully mine doesn’t have that stripe paintjob. The shape is the definition of fugly!
Man… when I was a kid I was obsessed with that Marty Friedman Jackson Kelly. I would bring my Musicians Friend catalog to school and show all my friends on the bus how awesome it was… and no one cared. 😂 it was hard being a metal kid in the 90’s. I still want that guitar in the worst way.
Brian May's guitar has a really cool history behind it. His father made it out of a table top and a 100 year old wood beam from a fireplace. There were also parts from his mother's sewing kit. Also, that guitar has never been refretted
I think I heard Vai say in an interview once the point of the monkey grip being they wanted to come up with something no one in their right mind would copy off of their design. I could totally see that being the case!
recently bought ESP Edwards alexi pink sawtooth. been wanting alexi's sig model since i started playing so it was a dream come true. beyond legendary guitar
Everyone has their favorite signature guitar, but everyone knows that the Sonic the Hedgehog ESP guitar truly is the most badass guitar of all time, including the Shadow guitar. Im also talking about the Shoe headstock, truly the fastest guitar in existance.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="133">2:13</a> I just saw this guitar in a dream without knowing it existed! I swear, I just had a dream last night where I was in some sort of thriftstore and I came across this guitar with odd cutaway and covered with lots of white stripes. And now it turns out to be real in this video! This is so weird and kind of creepy.
I bought an Ernie Ball John Petrucci Majesty a few years ago, and although it was the most unnecessarily expensive purchase I've ever made that's not a car, its the greatest guitar I've ever played and I love it to death
I have only been playing for 3 years and only own 5 guitars but I bought the a Schecter Loomis 7 string signature for my birthday a couple months ago and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my life. After playing this guitar for months I dont think I’ll ever buy a guitar that isnt schecter ever again. No its not a super crazy guitar but I think simplicity of its design adds to its charm and the feel and quality is the best ive ever experienced. I think it deserves more than a C tier.
Stoked to see Bumblefoot's signature model on there, plus his "early days" ridiculous guitars. Strange shapes for sure, but some incredible music has been made on them.
Big fan, Bradley. As a super untalented, tone def, terrible memory player want to be, I've really appreciated the noobs tornado of souls solo tab. It probably takes a bunch of time, but a lucrecia nooby solo tab would be cool.
As a Steve Vai JEM enjoyer, the handle serves no purpose other than letting people see what’s hiding behind the guitar. And if you wear the strap low enough, you can play hide the salami with your guitar
The practical use of the Steve Vai Monkey Grip? Have you not seen a Dave Lee Roth Band video clip? It's to get a good grip on it before you toss it over one shoulder during the drum set-up for the solo before you begin to shred and tap so divinely, it makes poor Eddie Van Halen take a step back from his spot in the Band in Heaven to shed a tear...Now please move it up to legendary.
Basically a rear loaded strat (no pickguard) SUPER STRAT ! The Bumblebee on the back of Van Halen 2 was the first rear loaded (funny term huh 😂) strat that I ever saw. So after that 'Bumblebee' Charvel was made, most companies followed ( Kramer, Bc Ritch, Ibanez,etc). The LA metal scene yielded lots of cool super strats FROM lynch, DeMartini, Keel, Rough Cutt (Amir Derakh), etc.
I just recognized that MAB 4 Neck Guitar is all Floyd Roses, the poor guitar tech. Also I remember reading about the monkey grip in the JEM, iIrc Vai literally wanted something to grip and carry his guitar when outside of the case.
@@awguitarroom8033 After owning both, yes. The Deans (Korean AND USA) are the least nice of Dave's endorsed brands. They also sound the worst because of the Livewire pickups. That being said, my main point is that the Gibsons are better than meh, and the Deans are less than legendary.
@shelbyavant5081 I've played his Rust in Peace dean signature and his new Gibson as well and I liked the Dean more. The Gibson wasn't even finished really. The back of the headstock wasn't sanded down and for the price you pay for it those little things are inexcusable . To me it doesn't play as good as my 400 dollar Ibanez. If it's a preference thing that's fine man. You have yours and I have mine. I've also owned a bunch of Dean guitars throughout the years and I've always loved them so I may be a little bias. That being said my father in law has an old les Paul and it is one of the best guitars I've ever played feeling wise. So I got nothing against Gibson or any guitar company.
