Just for all the people asking, they are not full sized in the body. you put one of these next to Epiphone or Gibson and the body looks like a damn ukulele. if you can live with the tiny body they seem pretty good though.
hey David, how do u like the tone of acrylic compairing to tone wood, I can imagine it to be quiet like ash, but maybe more sustain, but maybe less woody character.
the guitar is pretty cool, the only problem with mine are a few electronic issues and it could use new tuning heads cause they aren't so great but for 230 ish what do you epxpect and the looks are great!
Hi - we just picked the three random winners and sent messages to the winners through facebook - will post the winners names as soon as we hear back from them. Check your facebook messages to see if you won. We thank all that entered and checked out next level guitar - more guitar giveaways and dvd giveaways coming in the future - so stay tuned and happy holidays! Will post the winners also here on youtube soon as we hear back from them. Take care
@rockongoodpeople hey dude. Wish I entered! this guitar sounds amazing. Its completely bad ass of you guys to give stuff away like this! thanks, even though I wont get anything ;)
Hi - yes, my band is Leo Rising - we play all over San Diego - check us out on myspace - Willie is putting together another band now and will be playing out more soon - rock on!
Clean on the bridge pick up has a banjo type of sound. By the way, David, if you put your thigh in the middle of the v you shouldn't need the strap as much or at all. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth does it and works out nicely for him.
I'm actually really impressed with the way it sounds. I had assumed it was "gimmicky" with the acrylic body, but I actually think this would sound really good in a hard rock/metal band. Like the one i'm starting with some friends, hahaha. Cheers Dave, hope I win this one.
I get that it is Lucite but why would they put a black cover over the controls? I would rather have seen a clear Lucite cover over the control cavity.
hey david if u dont wanna have to wear that pesky strap while sitting down trying playing the V classical style. its what i do with my dean ML. also just wondering what string/fret/note are u pinching during that intro riff section?
Ha...on facebook "Kirk Hammett" clicked like. WTF Kirk, go buy one (presuming its *the* Kirk Hammett and not some random person...it's the internet after all)
Nice demo Dave. I often get into discussions about whether or not the body wood of solid body guitars makes a big difference in the tone of the guitar. This demo, especially the clean tones, makes me think the amp and pickups are more important. Keep up the good work!
For this video I ran the guitar through a Fulltone OCD pedal for the distortion and into an all tube fender hot rod deville - clean sounds were on the clean channel with just a splash of amp reverb added. Rock on!
I myself own a flying V, and I find it way more comfortable to play with sitting than with a stratocaster or any kind of guitar really. The trick is to put one side of the V between your legs, while wearing a strap depending on your body's length. This also enables you to have the same height while sitting down and playing as well, removing that issue!
Hi david, this guitar looks awsome, and sounds awsome too :D i also really like the kind of moody picking you do on with the guitar clean, is there any chance you could do a lesson on that style of playing? Thanks, rock on, from scotland :D
Hi - sure - i have some lessons on arpegiatting on my full on video instructional website - there is a free 3 day all access site pass on the home page - check it out - link in the text box below this video - enjoy and rock oN!
i think the guitars should all be given to younger guitar players, i mean, think about when you were a kid, wouldn't you have LOVED to have a thousand dollar guitar?
@chordize You're right that these should be given to starting,younger players. But they are no 1000 $ guitars. They are entry level guitars ,but still great for a younger player ;-))
david i think you are awsome and thank you for all the lessons and guitars you guys are giving away. See even my youtube name is inspired by you "rockongoodpeopleROCK"
