Opeth - Demon of the Fall Cover

Greetings everyone,

This is my cover of Opeth's song "Demon of the Fall." I only played the distorted parts and I botched one of the bridges pretty badly, but overall I am pleased with the video since its my first upload.

Gear:
Guitar - Custom Built w/ a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge
Amp - Peavey 6505+ 112 Combo

Thanks for viewing and feel free to leave feedback.

Regards.

What kind of guitar is it like did you make the whole thing or is it a customized guitar

[archimedesvi]

@PX917 Its a custom built guitar. I know relatively little about where the parts came from but from what I've gathered its an Ibanez Super Strat style body (alder i believe) and a Jackson style birdseye maple neck. The guitar has a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom pickup and an active/passive switch, and the bridge is a Kahler tremolo.

@archimedesvi o cool I didn't know you could make a custom pickup how much were they

P.S Kahler sucks jk I just prefer Floyd rose

[archimedesvi]

@PX917 I'm totally on board with you about the Floyds, but they're more expensive and this guitar came loaded with a Kahler. It keeps tuning fairly well, but not as well as the Floyd I have on my ESP. And yeah you can make your own custom pickups, but the Custom Custom is an actual pickup made by Seymour Duncan. You can find them on musiciansfriend and other music retailers. I really dig them because they're mellow enough for clean channels, but obviously they can do distortion as well.

@archimedesvi Wat was the total of the whole thing and I was thinking abbout 91 85 X but passive and active

[archimedesvi]

@PX917 I actually got really lucky and bought it on Ebay for around $200. It wasn't put together very well and so I've had to put a lot of work into it, but it was well worth it. The total cost would probably run around $800 (the neck being the most expensive. And for pickups 81/85 is the classic combination for EMGs, but if I ever got new pickups I'd look at the Seymour Duncan Blackouts.

Opeth was ok back then but i really prefer bands like The Grief Disease nowdays :)

[PX917]

@archimedesvi O cool I was hoping it came out cheap but it's just an average price I am planning to get my first Floyd guitar for $400 it's Jackson DX10D and install the emg 81/85X but with a pssive switch or maybe just sme Seymour duncans like your or the JB and Jazzthen I'm planning to get the peavey 6505+ 112

@archimedesvi Cool man, I'll check it out.

[archimedesvi]

@DeathMetalAngel123 - The cleans aren't too bad, especially with the right guitar. I feel like they're a lot better than many people make them out to be. In fact, I am going to be uploading a video of my cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" pretty soon, and that is going to have a lot less distortion on it (the solo). So maybe you'll be able to get a better idea, but you should also definitely go try the amp out for yourself! Thanks for watching!
