Dude. GOTOH!!! They made Original Edge trems, have a higher quality than Schaller, cost less, come with locking studs and adjustable arm tension. Suhr only uses Gotohs now as John was sick of having to hand file and modify Schaller made Floyd parts that were not machined correctly.
How is Jeff Beck able to remain in tune with his style of playing involving lots of tremolo bends and regular finger bends? He uses a Fender Tremolo system I believe.
hey man I really appreciate these vids! thanks a lot! have you ever tried a jackson dk2? mines coming soon it has a licensed floyd rose jackson tremolo, I'm wondering how it will be.
Great information and playing!! I've been practicing on a budget guitar and is looking for a mid-high end axe, but one factor that I haven't been able to gather a lot of information on is the compatibility of the necks with short fingers(I have terribly short ones). So my question is this: Which brand/style necks would you recommend someone with a very limited reach? I'm sort of tossing between Ibanez and the ones on the ESP Horizon series... Thoughts? Thank you in advance!
I have a Fender HM Stratocaster form the late 80's or early 90's, (the one that says "Strat" on the headstock), it's got the Kahler Spyder bridge and Kahler locking nut, and I think Dimarzio pickups, 24 fret neck. I love the old beast, have you had any experience with or opinion of them?
once it comes to trems id go with Ibanez any day! but if not, id stick to Ibanez :P or Epiphone, i love how Epiphone is CHEAPER then Gibson, but some have WAY more comfortable playing them those EXPENSIVE gibsons, i stick to the ones i LOVE. Bass guitars are really worth more then $4000 :P guitars arnt really lol
@YOUBOOBER12 if you mean the new one, its good, my girlfriend has it, i added some Dunlop 12-72's strings on it, had to play with them trem ALOT to get it to its perfect floating position, dont get one unless you wanna deal with the trem and you will need to take care of it alot, but its worth it, nice fret leveling, it has AMAZING sustain and the neck is comfortable :) play one yourself before even trying to buy it :)
the one brand that has never disappointed me at any point is schecter. one of my friends has 2, most of my guitarist-friends have one, and i have one, i bought a $500 schecter and i honestly think its the greatest deal there is. any other brand would and does charge far far more for the same thing. everything schecter does is done well and doesnt disappoint. btw, bc rich is just a bad brand in general for the bodies are uncomfortable, and sound very bad. plus theres too much flare in the looks
@Madbutcher305 well i suppose i cant say i have played every bc rich out there XD as for esp/ltd i think esp is schecter just more expensive and less creative with body shapes. ltd is very much like every other main brand out there. the lesson here is that there are very few guitars that beat the hellraiser. 2 of my friends have one. very nice guitars
I have an edge pro and it goes out of tune when I use it, not a whole lot but a little and it's noticeable I've adjusted it and made it flush to the body of the guitar! I don't know what else to do if you could help me I would appreciate it !
I'm about to get a new guitar, my budget is around 500$, could raise a bit. I mainly want to play thrash metal, but could also dig some clean or low Modern alternative rock distorted sounds, but my main is thrash metal, what guitars you recommend? I used to have my eye on bc rich and Dean, but apparently they're not that good at the price range, also read that many ibanez are bad. Now I'm looking out mostly to a schechter. Can u help me?
But I think you are wrong with the signature guitars. Lots of famous guitarists use signature guitars (Randy Rhoads V... or John Conolly from Sevendust uses those Dime Signatures...) and I don´t think they are some Randy Rhoads or Dimebag wanna-be
I get guitars that i like for playability then put in the electronics that i want. I don't think it's ever a "waste of money" to create a guitar that is good for your hand and for your music. I also have A-B'd a Sceamin Demon, EMG 81, DiMarzio Super 3 through clean and dirty Mesa Recs and transistor rigs; these pups didn't sound much different; but the AMPS DID! A good amp is most important, then pups. All of my guitars sound great thru the Mesa Triple Rectifier, thats the expensive truth!
@potatojuice321 Ofc dude Gibson Explorer is a piece of crap! I think les paul is good because many popular and good guitarists play with Les paul like Slash,Zakk Wylde,Doug Aldrich and many more!
Well, bolt-on means less sustain. Vai is using sustainer systems, not sure about the Joe.By the way, DMO, you stated Rockfields on the Warbeast. Have you tried tapping on that one? I have a bit hard time there, compared to the SD designed on the Jackson KVX 10. Thanks..
@MadSciontist28@Madbutcher305 Mahogany sounds nice and warm when paired with passive pickups right? I'm a huge heavy metal fan, not such a huge heavy metal player and as I'm looking into a new guitar for Rock music (Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, AC/DC and as heavy as Melvins or Metallica and I also like to play Blues/Jazz) I'm thinking of a standard range Gibson Explorer. Mahogany, nice passive pickups, widely used, any opinions guys? It doesnt have to be a Gibson model, just love that shape. :D
I'd try an ESP fixed bridge for that. Remember to try the Gibson at a shop before buying it there, as you can never be sure with Gibson quality control.
Correction; a Schecter C1 Custom with probably fare better with its more varied pickups and set neck construction. Can also come with an original floyd.
Generally Mahogany is a slightly cheaper wood and is used on popular guitars like Schecters (also, "Modern Metal" isn't necessarily heavier than 80s stuff (which is damn good by the way), and is currently dominated by super-mainstream bands like A7X and Lamb Of God. Go figure). However, Alder is lighter and carries a slightly heavier sound; it does have less sustain qualities than Mahogany, so it really depends on what you want.
@Madbutcher305 well i dont know about mahogany being a cheaper wood of thats the case then why doesnt gibson use it? i know companies want to keep cost low and stuff but they also go for quality too. and yes mahogany is whats dominating the scene right now(as i said before). i think alder is too bright for whats being played today. alot of metal bands(or guitarists more like) usaully go for more a dark, warm tone with tons of sustain. idk IMO mahogny is warmer than alder resulting a heavier tone
Anyway, several extremely heavy bands use Alder bodied guitars (Vader uses Ran guitars, more specifically the alder bodied InVader, and Vader is definitely far heavier than your average metalcore band in terms of tone).
Also, the King V is in standard tuning (I think) whereas most bands downtune these days, naturally creating a chug like effect. I can produce some level of heaviness on a downtuned strat .
And quality seems to be avoided by most companies:P
@Madbutcher305 understandable but more often than not most guitarist of todays metal bands choose mahogany bodies. thats fine and dandy that a strat can be downtuned but it stil gonna be bright. its not gonna produce a nice warm and heavy tone like a ESP or Schecter.
and your right about some companies skipping on quality. from what i hear Gibson has been doing that lately and thats why i will never a $2000 guitar. anything from $400-800 would suffice and plays just as good if not better.
i generally agree with most of this video but gibson standards are not as bad as you say.
I played a Gibson Les Paul standard through a jcm2000 combo and then a roland cube 60 and i got a pretty incredible sound, no buzz. th pick ups are a bit noisy when not playing though.
What do you think about the cort x11; that's an economic guitar, but i've listened some guitar players who say that it has a great tunning stability ?
@evilcorpse135 a lot of people say that can rival ibanez Prestige lower models and jacksons tremolos... then i tested one... TOTALLY AGREE!!!!! you can get a jackson/ibanez/bc rich/esp guitar of $1000 by only buying the X-11... i prefer the X-custom its way superior
I think you can fix a good guitar, as a matter of fact, I've customized an Ibanez RG270 with dimarzio evolution pickups and a edge pro tremolo, and it sounds awesome, then I can not agree with suggestions on this video, better pups and tremolo make BIG DIFFERENCE on average guitars. in fact, fixes where about 500 dollars, but it sounds really close to a Music Man JP6, that is a 2000 quitar. That is not cost effective??
My Kramer meats all the requirements you have in this video but I still get a drop out when I bend at 19th / 20th fets areas. Floyed 1 origanal ....22 fret neck. Any sugestions?
@sk89123 even on heavy metal, a good les paul fits well, and a flying V is totally made for metal, i dont know what this guy is talking about reffering to Gibsons,
@gjmatamoros i have never actually played a js32 but thats because i have a js30 (about the same thing) and its pretty sweet for such a cheap guitar
but if you want to pay for the kvx10 that would still be worth it. its completely your choice,
but just so you know i wouldnt reccomend the js30 (if you find one) if you play sitting down a lot because of where the jack is but its better in the js32 and the 32t.
@andrewds98 yea i would love to buy the kvx10 but unfortunately is a lot more so ill buy the js32t king v since is like the best king v guitar i can get at that price. thanks for helping me man.
I'm kind of a guitar newbie, could someone tell me how I cam achieve a nice heavy metal/rock sounding guitar? Do I change my amp, my pickups, my strings or what?!!!!
@Edders666 There's not really a set in stone recipe for what makes a guitar "metal", because tone is subjective; with that being said, some things are a necessity. High gain amplifiers are a must for awesome metal sounds. In my opinion, the best metal amps are Engels and Mesa Boogies, however, they are expensive. For lower budget options, line 6 does the job well, as well as peavey amps. As pickups go, Active Emg's will give you a great metal sound, but seymour duncan JB or distortion are great
buying guitars on ebay, is risky ive bought many guitars on ebay and most of them just really didnt play well, i pretty much would stick to guitar stores or craigslist. buying guitars without having played them first is shit.
I took your advice to check out Carvin guitars, waste of my time honestly. There is not a single guitar there for under £1050, and that's basically for a bog standard bolt on. For a couple hundred extra you could get a signature ESP, or for a couple hundred less you could get a pretty nice Jackson
I've been seeing more people rate Carvin highly recently, but in the past, they seemed to have durability and horrible customer service issues and it's made me gun shy about buying anything from them (just like I won't buy Sony laptops/pc's because of similar past issues).
They're as good as an original floyd Rose, and due to the fact that quality of the original floyd recently is poor by comparison compared to what it has been, many manufacturers now use these as stock bridges. Evh and music man guitars ( both very expensive brands) use the Gotoh licensee floyd. Also I believe suhr and caparison are using them too now. They're great, have some nifty little features and I haven't heard a bad thing about them.
i like your videos very much, but cmon man you can afford buying all that expensive guitars and can't buy a better camera or at least record the sound with a computer while you play?
I have two Ibanez guitars: My first, Ibanez SAS32FM, and my second, Ibanez RG4570Z.
The SAS32FM (made in Korea) is a disappointment to me. It has a cheap trem - no string locks. It goes out of tune once you start bending a string, which is the biggest "it sucks" thing about it. It's feels good to play it but it gets some buzz issues once the strings get a little old or dirty.
The RG4570Z (made in Japan) is splendid. Awesome ZR trem, stays in tune, comes with awesome metal and clean humbuckers
See, Gibsons aren't always made for metal DESPITE the fact that they have active EMGs. The Ibanez that I want has a Mahogany body with a Flame Maple Top and I've looked up their vids. The guitar seems pretty metal and I'm pretty sure with Evolutions, X2N, or D-Activator Xs, it would be even more killer! Point is, I think Ibanez makes better Mahogany-wood guitars for metal than Gibson, a company that strives on blues and alternative rock.
hey guys, don't be scared off by him saying not to buy an Ibanez with anything but an Edge Pro or ZR trem.
I can't comment on the Edge Zero but i'm pretty sure it has SOMETHING to it if it's made by Gotoh and is basically a ZR but using knife-edges similar to the Edge Pro.
also, the Edge III is not as good as a Floyd, and that's obvious. not as much flutter and kind of annoying whammy bar. but if you put lube (chapstick, graphite, nut sauce, etc) on the knife posts, it stays in tune perfect.y
Was that your explorer? If so, awesome pickguard, I want to do that with an aluminium plate or stainless steel plate on my Epiphone explorer (I'm just a teen, I can't afford a Gibsbom).
i own a gibson explorer and i get minimul buzz and ive honestly never heard a more grounded hard hitting guitar. it has a really nice wooden finish that works fine and its a dream to play as its nice and solid with a super smooth fret board and solid neck. Don't diss gibson, i have a stagg flying V copy but really i use my explorer for everything and it works great.
@nickknight303 there's alottaaa good ESP's for that price like an EC1000 i think thats about 800 with emg 81/85. id check more into the ESP line buddy
@Julz333666 While I agree that Gibson's quality control is a bit suspect, you can still find great one. Just make sure you play as many of them as you can to see if one of them is better than the rest.
Wow,you really know your stuff! Thank you,ive been looking into metal guitars..im only 13,and i dont have alot of money. Ive got abot 630saved up,and counting.Plus i might use some of my dividend. Im looking into a Ltd Deluxe EC-1000. Would you reccomend this as a good metal guitar that plays pretty heavy and stays in tune well? Or just a good guitar in general?
I just bought a Schector Hellraiser C1 like the one in this series of vids. But you mentioned it as a replacement for the shitty guitar. Does this mean you dont recommend it as a good metal guitar?
I have a Jackson Dinky DXMG equiped with EMG's HZ passive pickups and i wanna change these for Emg's 81/85 active pickups. Is it going to sound better?
@TheMasterofshred I thought often about equipping my guitar with new active pickups and i ended up that i diddnt do anything. You should check the Seymour Duncan Blackouts, for my style of music they sound better than emgs... And on mybirthday my girlfriend gave me a present ... seymour duncan blackouts! wuha! installed and yes, the sound is way better now^^, but i use a Ibanez RG guitar
Maybe I don't have the ear of perfection that's why to me my ESP M-50 sounds, feel and stays in tune just fine.. although I with it had a longer sustain while doing the tremolo pulls =)
Guitar's scale length isn't determined by the number of frets. It's determined by the length from the nut to the bridge. The number of frets is irrelevant. Washburn's EC29 & EC36 guitars are 25.5" scale (same as a 22 fret strat), and have either 29 or 36 frets. Likewise, several 27" scale guitars only have 22 frets, despite having the scale being 1.5" longer than a strat.
Hey, good review. Really helped me learn some choices. I was Probably gonna go with a Jackson KVX10 king v with a floyd or a Jackson JS32 King V with Floyd Rose. they both have licensed Floyds but i saw that B.C. Rich Deluxe Jr V with original floyd. What sould i choose? I dont really have a lot of cash but i am looking for something pretty decent. Please help.

Hey I was wondering, I was thinking about buying the wolfgang special guitar. I Havent gotten to play it yet and I was wondering if you knew anything that I should be aware of about it.
I have a Schecter Jeff Loomis signature in red, an Ibanez RG3ex1 with an orange/yellow quilt top, a Washburn X-50 Pro FE and a Jackson DK2M Dinky in black with dimarzio pickups, personally i prefer my DK2M out of all of them it is just awesome
@spudzdad1 Well, ritchie blackmore ws nvr a heavy metal player. In Iron maiden, Murray earlier hd dimarzio humbucks in his strat. then, he started replacing the stock pups of American standard strat with seymour duncans hot rails and so did Janick gers. Smith's strats were always HSS config. Glenn tipton also used to replace his pups with ESP stock humbucks...... " YOU NEED HUMBUCKS TO GET CHUNKY METAL TONE, AND MALMSTEEN does not use that tone".
@overclocked221 the only thing you have to solder, in EMG pickups (don´t really know much about the seymour duncan live wires) is the jack, the rest is completely made without soldering, I have made a guitar with EMG´s 81 and 85 without soldering anything but the jack...
I have to say, I've watched all three of your videos and I found them to very helpful. I agreed with almost everything you said and demo'd, and even though you have far more experience than I do, (and more skill to boot) I didn't agree with you saying that the Mockingbird ST was a bad B.C. Rich guitar. I played one the other day and found it to be pretty much the perfect guitar for me. Could you explain why you thought the Mockingbird ST was a bad guitar? Or do you have a video explaining why?
damn it... i want an gidson v.... you say theyr a dissapointment ..but i want that old school bay area thrash guitar ... and i love v's any suggestions?
@SixxHundredSixtySixx yeah dude that gibson i dont care what anyone says and yeah ill probably take some flak for praising gibson but what this video says isnt all true, theres alot of good tips but his gibson bashing is totall unwarranted, the vs and sgs they make today have a really similar sound and trust me its sweet just check out my channel i got a demo of my sg through an mg15 and for a small amp with a supposedly "overrated price" it sound really aggressive
btw I have a liscensed floyd and it has insane tuning stability, once I had a problem with the high e string going like .0001 of a step out of tune but replacing the strings fixed it... probably the fact of the locking bridge not locked tight enough
@ESPMETALLICAFAN17 seriously ... DONT GET AN ROBOT GUITAR! theyr gay and extremely overpriced... sheesh its only a guitar if u want a tuner get one for 20 $
ESP IBANEZ and Jackson are the best guitars ! For Floyd rose ;) your vid is so good thanks i know what i must do look on a Floyd Thanks man i suscribe !
awesome series of vids man I agree with most things here but don't agree with buying from online sources(excluding custom orders) just for the fact that everybody has bad days even luthiers I am a die hard carvin guy who also loves b.c.rich and despises gibson (why drive a model t when you can own a ferrarri ) I just wanna add the most stable flyodd I've ever owned outa 20 + guitars was a carvin made on a original ultra V also the absolute best sounding pickups puts an 81 to shame my main axe
@lizardinhu ok, im not the dude who made the vid but i can help you, if you want change them for metal in the bridge you could put a seymour duncan distortion (thats what i did on my sg its pretty brutal and epic) however in the neck you might want something warm and less output, maybe a duncan jazz? or 59 (thats what i have in my sg neck positoin) or if want a pickup that can do everthing the jb (bridge) and jazz (neck) and for single coil i dont no maybe a jb junior, hope this helps.
to you gibson haters, i agree that gibsons are overpriced but beleive me a custom gibson is amazing, but lower budget ones do fail, the only exception is the sg special faded, because that is a amazing guitar for hard rock and rythm metal.

Well, bolt-on means less sustain. Vai is using sustainer systems, not sure about the Joe.By the way, DMO, you stated Rockfields on the Warbeast. Have you tried tapping on that one? I have a bit hard time there, compared to the SD designed on the Jackson KVX 10. Thanks..

@MadSciontist28 @Madbutcher305 Mahogany sounds nice and warm when paired with passive pickups right? I'm a huge heavy metal fan, not such a huge heavy metal player and as I'm looking into a new guitar for Rock music (Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, AC/DC and as heavy as Melvins or Metallica and I also like to play Blues/Jazz) I'm thinking of a standard range Gibson Explorer. Mahogany, nice passive pickups, widely used, any opinions guys? It doesnt have to be a Gibson model, just love that shape. :D

I'd try an ESP fixed bridge for that. Remember to try the Gibson at a shop before buying it there, as you can never be sure with Gibson quality control.

kool vid but...
i disagree with you as far as alder sounding "extremely heavy"
IMO the best tone wood for todays metal is Mahogany
if you look at todays current metal bands all of their guitars are mahogany bodies
i mean granted alder can probably do metal but more like 80s metal
the jackson you demoed was a lil too bright for todays standards.
also IMO the best for a guitar is Mahogany body and maple neck with set thru(or neck thru) conscrution, active pups and a sting thru bridge design.
MadSciontist28 8 months ago
@MadSciontist28
Generally Mahogany is a slightly cheaper wood and is used on popular guitars like Schecters (also, "Modern Metal" isn't necessarily heavier than 80s stuff (which is damn good by the way), and is currently dominated by super-mainstream bands like A7X and Lamb Of God. Go figure). However, Alder is lighter and carries a slightly heavier sound; it does have less sustain qualities than Mahogany, so it really depends on what you want.
And passives can be as good as actives:P
Madbutcher305 8 months ago
@Madbutcher305 well i dont know about mahogany being a cheaper wood of thats the case then why doesnt gibson use it? i know companies want to keep cost low and stuff but they also go for quality too. and yes mahogany is whats dominating the scene right now(as i said before). i think alder is too bright for whats being played today. alot of metal bands(or guitarists more like) usaully go for more a dark, warm tone with tons of sustain. idk IMO mahogny is warmer than alder resulting a heavier tone
MadSciontist28 8 months ago
@MadSciontist28
Gibson does use it :P
Anyway, several extremely heavy bands use Alder bodied guitars (Vader uses Ran guitars, more specifically the alder bodied InVader, and Vader is definitely far heavier than your average metalcore band in terms of tone).
Also, the King V is in standard tuning (I think) whereas most bands downtune these days, naturally creating a chug like effect. I can produce some level of heaviness on a downtuned strat .
And quality seems to be avoided by most companies:P
Madbutcher305 8 months ago
@Madbutcher305 understandable but more often than not most guitarist of todays metal bands choose mahogany bodies. thats fine and dandy that a strat can be downtuned but it stil gonna be bright. its not gonna produce a nice warm and heavy tone like a ESP or Schecter.
and your right about some companies skipping on quality. from what i hear Gibson has been doing that lately and thats why i will never a $2000 guitar. anything from $400-800 would suffice and plays just as good if not better.
MadSciontist28 8 months ago
@MadSciontist28
You're right. It really does depend on what you're after from your tone.
I'm a thrash metal man so Alder is for me.

i generally agree with most of this video but gibson standards are not as bad as you say.
I played a Gibson Les Paul standard through a jcm2000 combo and then a roland cube 60 and i got a pretty incredible sound, no buzz. th pick ups are a bit noisy when not playing though.

I think you can fix a good guitar, as a matter of fact, I've customized an Ibanez RG270 with dimarzio evolution pickups and a edge pro tremolo, and it sounds awesome, then I can not agree with suggestions on this video, better pups and tremolo make BIG DIFFERENCE on average guitars. in fact, fixes where about 500 dollars, but it sounds really close to a Music Man JP6, that is a 2000 quitar. That is not cost effective??

Edders666 11 months ago
@Edders666 There's not really a set in stone recipe for what makes a guitar "metal", because tone is subjective; with that being said, some things are a necessity. High gain amplifiers are a must for awesome metal sounds. In my opinion, the best metal amps are Engels and Mesa Boogies, however, they are expensive. For lower budget options, line 6 does the job well, as well as peavey amps. As pickups go, Active Emg's will give you a great metal sound, but seymour duncan JB or distortion are great

I took your advice to check out Carvin guitars, waste of my time honestly. There is not a single guitar there for under £1050, and that's basically for a bog standard bolt on. For a couple hundred extra you could get a signature ESP, or for a couple hundred less you could get a pretty nice Jackson

@Melis8163
They're as good as an original floyd Rose, and due to the fact that quality of the original floyd recently is poor by comparison compared to what it has been, many manufacturers now use these as stock bridges. Evh and music man guitars ( both very expensive brands) use the Gotoh licensee floyd. Also I believe suhr and caparison are using them too now. They're great, have some nifty little features and I haven't heard a bad thing about them.

I have two Ibanez guitars: My first, Ibanez SAS32FM, and my second, Ibanez RG4570Z.
The SAS32FM (made in Korea) is a disappointment to me. It has a cheap trem - no string locks. It goes out of tune once you start bending a string, which is the biggest "it sucks" thing about it. It's feels good to play it but it gets some buzz issues once the strings get a little old or dirty.
The RG4570Z (made in Japan) is splendid. Awesome ZR trem, stays in tune, comes with awesome metal and clean humbuckers

Nicholasmower12 1 year ago
See, Gibsons aren't always made for metal DESPITE the fact that they have active EMGs. The Ibanez that I want has a Mahogany body with a Flame Maple Top and I've looked up their vids. The guitar seems pretty metal and I'm pretty sure with Evolutions, X2N, or D-Activator Xs, it would be even more killer! Point is, I think Ibanez makes better Mahogany-wood guitars for metal than Gibson, a company that strives on blues and alternative rock.
ARodYankFan 1 year ago
hey guys, don't be scared off by him saying not to buy an Ibanez with anything but an Edge Pro or ZR trem.
I can't comment on the Edge Zero but i'm pretty sure it has SOMETHING to it if it's made by Gotoh and is basically a ZR but using knife-edges similar to the Edge Pro.
also, the Edge III is not as good as a Floyd, and that's obvious. not as much flutter and kind of annoying whammy bar. but if you put lube (chapstick, graphite, nut sauce, etc) on the knife posts, it stays in tune perfect.y

Guitar's scale length isn't determined by the number of frets. It's determined by the length from the nut to the bridge. The number of frets is irrelevant. Washburn's EC29 & EC36 guitars are 25.5" scale (same as a 22 fret strat), and have either 29 or 36 frets. Likewise, several 27" scale guitars only have 22 frets, despite having the scale being 1.5" longer than a strat.
