May I ask why you chose a gloss finish for the back of the neck and not a satin one?

@therottingsun666 2 года назад

@@elemair9210 that is how almost all my guitars are, we will be experimenting with satin finishes on upcoming models

@elemair9210 2 года назад

@@michaelmoline7058 why ? I have both satin and gloss neck guitars and the gloss ones are a lot less smoother than the satin one. It's less fast

@Dustin_John Год назад

I love the fact that even though this is an artist signature model, it doesn't have that over-the-top signature markings or those corny 12th fret custom inlays that you see typically on artist signature series models. You still feel like it's your own guitar.

@ThathousecatSHC 2 года назад

This looks like the LTD version of the stealth/xiphos/warrior. Looks classy as hell, I'm not a fan of the Floyd rose but it's got nice lines.

Hearing that it has a 24.75 scale length makes me want it more. Scale length isn't a deal breaker but i find myself more comfortable on my guitars with that scale length.

@felinekaiju4517 2 года назад

Tbh, scale length doesn't bother me. I've had Gibson's and all the metal brands and tbh, I think I enjoyed the Les Paul despite the fact it was gloss on the neck, 24.75 and the clunky heel joint. I might even end up going back to 24.75 again with my next boutique custom build.

@jonnylawless6797 2 года назад

@@felinekaiju4517 they make LPs with rounded heel joints now, kinda like ESP or Schecter do

@jacobbockover1628 2 года назад

Dude 24 3/4 is my preference really fret work is maybe the most important thing. If people are really complaining about 3/4 of an inch maybe they are stuck on 1 string guage. A big example is like if you have a travel guitar you put a heavier guage on it or i have 1 guitar that works well with a hybrid set

@jimmybags1494 2 года назад

eh for me I feel too cramped on a gibson scale length, I've got long fingers and I've been on a fender scale length for so long that I kinda can't handle the difference, even if it is only 3/4 of an inch. I'd have thrown money at one immediately if it was a fender scale length, but to each their own!

@dustinroberts5949 2 года назад

Arnold, never change. You're a gem. My jaw legitimately dropped at the Revision G boosted chug section at 12:33. That thing sounds incredible.

@jawa7058 2 года назад

Personally I love the 24.75 scale length, and there so few guitars with a Floyd (or any other trem for that matter) in that scale, I knew I wanted it. The only thing giving me pause was not knowing if there was neck dive, which you addressed in your prior video (yes, I'm one of those people, lol!, my one guitar pet peeve). Just received mine a few days ago and love it. I think the price is justifiable as well, considering the ESP cases are $200, the stainless steel fret upgrade and it being Korean made.

@NoQuadsNoMasters Год назад

Just an opinion, neck dive doesn’t matter with a star or Rhoads shape (kind of any v) because you will naturally end up with that lower horn on your leg.

@aliengenetix2642 2 года назад

The only "issue" I found with mine was that the 4th tuner post is staggered, while the rest were not. I assume that was an error on the assembly line. It didn't matter because I put Gotoh locking tuners on it anyway. I also swapped out the Blackout with a Black Winter and set it up for D Standard with 12's on it. And I absolutely hate the strap button locations. Otherwise I love mine to death.

@louderthangod 2 года назад

Why go to locking tuners for a Floyd? I’ve always run the ball-end through the tuners for fast string changes.

@StrengthDream 2 года назад

@trevpeeps307 2 года назад

Are stouts your go-to style? Also I didn’t realize that the 1500 Floyd was basically a 1000 series with upgraded parts. So it’s basically a marketing ploy?

@ArnoldPlaysGuitar 2 года назад

Seems to be. ESP calls it a 1000 SE, Schecter calls it a 1500. I think it’s less marketing and more brand-specific semantics. Same thing though…a 1000-series with better screws.

@brandonbryson3317 2 года назад

Pretty sick axe...the pickup has a bit of a congested sound for my tastes. That typically comes from an increase in low mids. It does seem to give it a more vocal lead quality tho.

Thank you for the review! I wish I could get my hands on one of these but it seems to be completely unavailable where I live unfortunately. Btw! The 1500 series Floyds have a difference in another aspect, the arm has a tight ring that allows you to push/pull the bar in/out and have no play when you use it (and also doesn't flop around)

Hello dude, great video, what's been your experience with the Floyd rose 1000?? I own a BC Rich but it comes with the German made original, I've heard all kinds of things about the 1000 series, from being the same just made in Korea to dull knife edges with just months of use, so would like to read your opinion, thank you

@ArnoldPlaysGuitar Год назад

I tend to go pretty hard on a Floyd and to me the 1000-series holds up, but admittedly maybe I've just had great luck if other people are saying they get dull edges. That's a great question honestly.
