Why Did I Get These Duplicate Guitars?? My Masterplan! (LTD Phoenix Black & Arctic Metal) 

Well, you need a pink one now lol.

Love the walk through of the collection and can’t wait for the comparison video. Your content is top tier and extremely well done. Thanks!!

Been trying to save up for the white one for a bit. Thank you for this video and review!!

Nice work Jon! As much passion on pickup swapping as me in different guitars!

There’s something about Metal Offset guitars, so cool 😎

I love this! Can’t wait for the pick up comparison! I learned over a decade ago when purchasing two production basses that were made a month apart in serial numbers. They were high-end but not handmade. Both the exact same model. I absolutely loved one and really did not like the other.

Love it! I’m going to search for a left handed version. Such a sick guitar!

Also lusting over the new baritone 7string as my first phoenix though

Love mine. One day I will have more

Still waiting on ads for video to start but just from the title and pic of the video I have one little thing to say. Years ago when schecter first released their blackjack atx, I loved it so much I bought another one. My original is black and the second is the off white one. Its my yin and yang set. Absolutely love those guitars. Schecter at its best. 2 flawless instruments. Thinking about getting a 7 string set but I may be more interested in a newer model. Still haven't decided. I haven't played the atx 7 strings yet so I'm worried I won't like the neck as much as another model or brand. I have a cheap 7 string schecter from early 2000's but I don't think its a good example of their current neck profiles.

Looking forward to the pickup comparison video. I have a couple of those Duncan pickups myself (JB SH-4 and Distortion) and am very curious to hear what the active ones bring to the table.

Great video. I'm genuinely considering getting a 6-string M-HT Arctic Metal and a 7-string M-HT Black Metal.

I have the Deluxe 1000 cream model and it's a killer guitar. Love the shape, the neck, the overall sound. Did not love the SB bridge pickup though. Changed it to Bare Knuckle Boot Camp Brute Force and it's a monster now. Do you it's a good idea to make another video with detailed comparison of all the Phoenixes? For example it was interesting to find out that the neck on the new Arctic Metal is slimmer and faster. I'd think that the bodies and the necks will be very similar. Greetings from Bulgaria and keep up the great vids coming.

JB is a fun pup for sure but I'm digging the Custom right now, just does everything right.

Now all you need is two of the original 2008 model phoenix 1000s.. you need the white one and the black one. I personally prefer the scratch plate design on the original phoenix model. I'm a fan myself and own 3. I have the original white model the original black model.. and a black metal phoenix too. Great guitars!

Congrats

I love this channel and am excited to hear demos of all these. If you haven't already, you should give the EMG X series a shot like the 81X, as they have a much improved preamp that doesn't clip so badly so the pickups are less compressed sounding and closer to a passive. They are a drop-in replacement now that you have the solderless system in there

Nice collection. All of us have our favorite guitar models. Im more of a les paul fan but the Phoenix's look killer and clean

Great looking guitars

If you feel like it, try the SD Blackened black Winter in the black metal, its great! I have it in the EC black metal omg

I'd love to see your opinion on the other LTD Phoenix guitars, the ones that are more traditional. The vintage white and the dark cherry ones with the humbucker on the bridge and the p90 on the neck. Nice video!!!

phoenix is my favorite as well. now i want every iteration of them.

Superb guitars

I had the vintage white one and didn't gel with it and sold it. I agree they look killer but man, they are HUGE guitars! Seem made for guys 6' plus in size!

I got my 7 a couple wks ago! I hope they do an arctic 7 phoenix eventually, i'd love to put a black p/u and black pick guard on it...always loved white with black accents. Also have fallen in love with offset guitars (i have 4 now!).

I love my Vintage White LTD Phoenix 1000 Deluxe

Man you should paint them, that would be awesome. find some great artists and make each one unique, they would look killer

I've done something similar with Jackson soloists. I have 2 that each have fishmans fluence one that has Duncan black winters another with a Duncan distortion bridge and jazz neck and another with Duncan blackouts. I love soloists and having a variety of pickups is bad ass.

So i got the transblack quilt. Man this thing is nice

1:56 “polar opposite” I see what you did there 😂

Phoenix Black Metal is my favorite guitar

I have the arctic metal, it’s my favourite guitar , and I really want the black metal with the fishman modern

What value pot did you use in the guitars with passive pickups? Great video! Thanks

You read my mind brother…I’m hit for a Phoenix right now and have been for awhile. My EC Evertune is incredible. I wish the stock pick up on the black metal was a Duncan. Maybe the Distortion… I can’t do the Fishman thing. Curious about the Evertune model.

Damn what a collection, I would love to try the 1000 deluxe. I'm a 2 pickup guitar guy, need that bridge pickup for leads and clean. The Black and Arctic metal models are so cool though.

I can't wait to hear the PU comparison. Would they all have the same sets of strings?

Nice😍Set!!!

Would be cool to switch the pickguards and pickups from the black one to the white one.

👍👍

Ever tried swapping the JB's alnico magnet for a ceramic? I've done this in most of my guitars for years and it makes a world of difference for drop tunings. More powerful mids and tighter bass.

Need the new silverburst!

That wolud be interesting. So now lets wait.

I have an EX-50 (with an EMG 81 on the bridge and thats it) and you are definitely inspiring me to get an EX Black Metal. Definitely you are a bad influence 🤣

these are the two guitars you got instead of the 50w stealth head? you said that in some commenz here i think, i hate you for that but i have to admit that i love your guitars, cheers bro 🎸🖤

Man you made me gas on the phoenix. Are these very neck heavy?

I really like the LTD white Arctic Metal series. Does the white fade to a yellow over time? Can't wait for the pickup comparison!

What case or gogbag do you use for these? My wife gave me the red cherry one and I can't find a good case for it

Nice guitars indeed!!! One question: I see you have 2 identical orange tiny terror, I say ok,maybe you changed the tubes, but how come you have 2 Whammy DT? I also have it but 2?? Is there a particular reason? Just asking, don’t get me wrong :)

I love the artic metal MH however I had to return due to a cracked fretboard. Sucked to have to return and realized they were out of stock

Do you have a baritone Phoenix? Maybe I missed it, but they just put out a new range of them and they look sweet

I’ve been eyeing the phoenixs for a while now. Im torn between getting the black metal one or holding out for that grey burst with the evertune dropping in fall. 😮‍💨

I have the red Pheonix 1000 with the Fishmans. It's such a great playing guitar. First saw the model on your channel and had to have one. They sell out quick.

Pls. Try the dimarzio X2N on one of those black phoenix

Hey! So we not gonna see an Iconic on your channel any soon?

What case do you use for your phoenix

Gosh! Impressive, but how on earth can you afford it? Do you use these purchases to offset your self employed tax contribution or something like that? Look forward to a back to back comparison which compares pickups - I think this will be really good content 👍

I wonder if the same is true for the 57/66 TW set.

I would maybe switch the pick guards of the two new ones ? not to have two times the exact same guitar - black on white would look great, white on black maybe not so much but yolo or not yolo

waiting for the 7 string video haha

Amazing. I’m dying to try a Phoenix! Anyone play these in classical position? Comfortable?

"When I win the lottery or simply make a lot of money - I won't tell anyone, but there will be signs..."

You planning to get the 7 string version?

Are those guitars neck heavy?

Sell all the rest and buy more Phoenix! :)

10:40 "TBH, I don't have an endless budget for" more than these 4 identical guitars and the other 2 of this model that are not quite identical.

I would sell them all and buy the M8M ;)

obviously it's becuase the black one is for metal and the other is for rock.

Great guitars. Make it with a floyd. Make it with 2 PU's. Make it with flag inlays. Make it not a boomer axe even though I'm a F"in boomer. Make it more metal. Own 3 firebirds(Gibsons of course)but hate chopping them up for this shit.

Every non-professional guitar player should only have 1 electric guitar. To save forests

because that is rock n roll. dont even need to watch this. ha ha ha
