The black n red looks great

Cool guitars. Love that Dinky.

is that washburn Genuine?

I bought this same axe last year November, 👍🏻 investment 🙌, small modification i did is install tonepro roller to avoid string breaking

Hate symbols on guitars is a bad look, and you’re not good at playing either

And I didn’t think Washburn could get any trashier!

I just got myself a Jeff Loomis Signature Series "Jackson Kelly" made in Korea, and I have to say the guitar is pretty amazing, the only thing is his signature series pickups are "Seymour Duncan blackouts", I mean they pick up every little thing and I had to put foam in the back of the trem springs for the tremolo because they ring through the pickups as well. Easy problem to fix, there's no need to buy new noiseless Springs just a thin piece of foam behind the Springs did the job, it comes with a Floyd rose 1500. The only difference between the Floyd 1000 and the 1500 is stainless steel pins and lock nut screws. Beat the hell out of it and stays in tune great though. Oh... no case or gig bag so i had to get a hardshell case for it. For that price it should come with a case. Other than that the guitar is pretty amazing $1,599 and yes that is the most I've ever spent on a jackson through the many years I've played them. I always Frankenstein them out, new trem, new pickups so on. Can't afford the usa model. It's a all around solid guitar though for anyone thinking about it. Great craftsmanship too. The white binding around the ash top body/neck is really well done. Going to stick with the black out pickups for now, but may change to black winters, or EMG'S. Yet to decide lol.

Hells Yes!

Same for me w the influences. Also loved Megadeth Rust line up. Remember Marty playing RR hard tail and also a Firebird as well, before really locking into the Kelly. Anthrax had so many rad Jacksons. Criss Oliva and his Charvel Predator also so cool!! Great video!

Hey bud we're going through the same stuff, ulcers and sciatica. I also had necrotic pancreas during covid. I lost several family members too recently. It's hard to do what you want or need to most days. Picking up the guitar doesn't come so easy these days even though I have everything I could possibly want. Just know you're not alone and you have a common affliction dude. Hang in there comrade. 🤘

dude what a great video! I'm so jelous :D Only thing missing was showing all them together

Great video. I've just ordered a RR1T - wanted one forever, ever since watching videos of Hammett on the MoP tour. Should be arriving on my birthday!

Paulie M!! Hows it going bro?!

awesome! Any chance you have that tabbed out somewhere

If you ever want to part ways with it shoot me a comment! 🤘🏻

I got a Ibanez Premium late last year and it has the Tone Zone and Air Norton pickups in it, and trying to dial in a good metal tone for my band has been difficult. I've tried to eq my amp differently, lower and raise the pickups, different pedals, and no matter what it just doesn’t inspire me to play it. The new Duncan Noumenon Jeff Loomis pickups are something I want to get. It's been hard trying to find "My Sound" too. Love the videos Paulo, keep on rockin!🤟

Ibanez seems to have lost their touch over the years.

I have the same color Schecter and I love it. I was also looking at the RG's and the Pro Mod's but I got my Schecter at nearly half the price of those. Plus it's the best sounding and playing guitar I have.

Mannnn. This model is of my biggest “one that got away” stories. It was the teal model with the maple neck and it played as good or better than just about any guitar I’d ever picked up.

They're cool. I have 2 from 2023. Initially, both had intonation issues: the bridges are set about 1/8th of an inch too far back. I had to modify things in order to overcome this. Great necks, though I later refretted them with hypo-allergenic fret wire as I am allergic to nickel. I also replaced the saddles with stainless steel saddles.

My man,less talking more playing, jeez!

Lovely color and great layout!

Satin finish will shine up if you play them like you should .

That's a gorgeous superstrat, love the metallic orange red. I've never owned a Schecter but I'd choose it over Ibanez also myself.

I have a super shredder exotic with the black limba body. That thing plays incredibly well, sounds good, and looks fantastic as well. It is a high quality guitar for a decent price.

Nice tone! I was standing inbetween a Schecter and a Ibanez and I went for the Ibanez. I knew and yeah pups on them Ibanez are as seldom to my taste me a 80`:s rocker not at all actually that is the only falldown with it. I got them same EMG:s as laying around so I might change them pups.

Nice its a cheaper MIck Thompson

Great guitar! I’ve never played a Schecter that didn’t surprise me ref how good it was at various price points. Nice playing too !

Good video. Schecters are absolutely terrific values.

When I was first picking up guitar, I had a bc rich V with stock pickups and a solid state, Ibanez tone blaster half stack. It sounded pretty meh. Mostly because i had no idea what i was doing. Swapped the bridge pick-up out for a Seymour duncan dimebucker and was pretty underwhelmed by the difference it made. Playing metal, and being a Dimebag fan, I thought that would be a good choice. An eq and overdrive was really what I was needing, but I didn't know these things at the time. Then I swapped the dimebucker out for an EMG 81 and that seemed to fix the problems I was having. Got rid of the loose low end flub, and relaced the fuzziness in the top end with some nice clarity. After that I thought active pickups were the way. Being older and more knowledgeable now, I know what to do to make any pickup work, but I still prefer actives because for me they take a lot of the extra work out. Passives I find much nicer for clean, as most people do, but Playing on a high gain channel for 99% of the night, I'll put up with a thin clean sound for 1% of the time. Switching to the middle or neck position fills things out nicely. I don't have tone controls in my guitars anymore so I can't say if they would be useful in making things a little less brittle. Modelers help too as one can eq the crap out of a clean patch. I have played Fishmans and I didn't find any magic in them that made me want to join that cult. They sound fine, but I find more and more that pickups matter less than they are given credit. I played a show recently where a kid was gushing over my tone. All he wanted to know was what pickups I had in my guitar. He responded by saying "I have a guitar with the same pickups so I should be able to get that sound!" I told him "yes... but only if you plug it into this rig." A pickup is one aspect among many in a closed electric circuit. And it isn't even the most important one.

So no satanic worship or sacrifices? I'm kind of dissapointed Paulo =P. Cool video dude! This REVV is very cool!

I just picked up one of these in a trade. I traded it for an Ibanez RG5320 prestige. Lol i also got an Ibanez Q52 in the trade too. SO Fn worth it! The QC of this LTD is right there with the RG5320 prestige and no Fn joke... i like the playability of this LTD better than the RG5320.

Love your collection! New follower here! Also love the candy apple guitar video review 😎

I've got too many guitars and have tried out almost every pickup under the sun. Stupid obsession, but I love it. For my own music, I definitely prefer active - the EMG Het Set specifically is the greatest heavy rock pickup pair ever IMO, and I also really really like the 57/66 set. These are not "sterile" either - they do have the classic active characteristics, but feel much more dynamic and alive than the 81 everybody grew up on, or Voice 1of the Fishmans. Obviously many people associate actives with high output or very hot distortion, but I prefer them because they're very tight, clean and precise. I have a percussive style where fast tracking and note definition is very important, and I need a pickup that has a very focused, compressed and punchy sound that I can get while relying on only moderate preamp distortion and preferably no overdrive pedals. That's what I get from the EMGs and it's awesome. I like many passives, but sometimes they can get too warm, a bit too flubby and sometimes muddy. Can't have that. If I do need to record cleans, I'll often do it with a passive guitar, but I generally dislike the sound of clean electric guitar and will more often than not arrange such parts for either piano or acoustic. Also when I'm looking for a more "vintage" sound, my passives come in quite handy. I also like to double-track with actives and record a third guitar down the middle and that will often be a passive guitar through a different amp.

Nice guitar playing and a great song

Having two voicings is a plus for versatility which the Fishmans have and some Duncan actives as well. EMG offers these various things like the Afterburner switch.

On the active vs passive issue, I tend to prefer passives but don't hate actives. I've just never found them necessary for my personal needs. I've owned a lot of EMGs over the years and even a DiMarzio Shockwave system in a '61 strat in the 80s which the previous owner had installed by the time I bought it. I loved the Shockwave system, but it ate batteries like popcorn. I mostly got by in the 80s using Super Distortions, MegaDrives, X2Ns, Double Whammys and PAF Pros and Fred. I've always been a DiMarzio guy. Then the Tone Zone came out in '91 and that became my main pickup as I've always played mostly strats. In shorter scale axes I'd use a Super Distortion, X2N, PAF Pro or Fred. When I use a neck pup it's often the Air Norton. But I'm a player who's spent 98% of my guitar playing career on the bridge pup which is yet another reason the Tone Zone works for me. It means I can live in that position and the high end is smooth, not harsh and brittle like I find the JB and some actives to be like the EMG 81.

Loved the intro man! Great content and playing, I personally love passive, has a more organic sound to me, and easier to mold I that makes sense

My current Ibanez Rgt has the Tone Zone and Air Norton in it. I've been struggling to get the Tone Zone no matter how many times I've adjusted my eq. It's really bass heavy and has been as tight as some Duncan's and Emg's I've played. I tried raising and lowering the pickup, but I've still had a hard time trying to get it to sound like I want. You have any recommendations if I decide to replace it. I love the Air Norton though, it's so smooth. Keep the metal faith alive man, love the content!🤟

I grew up in L.A. and was highly involved in the shred scene in this town starting around '87, when it was at its peak, till '93 when it disappeared. Yes, I liked to shred, I liked high performance guitar playing, and still do. But the music scene became inimical to competent guitar playing. Yes, shred burned itself out, but MTV also decided to demote metal in the name of grunge. They gave grunge the push it needed and put the spotlight on it. But shreddy metal still found a home in Europe and Japan. But I lived in L.A. and there was nothing like the shred scene of the 80s by the time the 90s got rolling, except in the halls of Guitar Institute/Musicians Institute, and that was very underground by then. Shred has since picked up again, but rock does not hold the place it did in the music scene or as a social force that it once did.

You're the kind of neighbor I'd like to have hahahaha. Amazing taste when it comes to guitars.

That’s clean!

Wow, really cool

Please sell it to me any price

How difficult was it for you to start acquiring non-Jackson guitars?

Amazing

ok how about d activator vs the ducan distortion?

Good video Guys.Was nice reloving the past,it was cassette and vinyl till the mid 90's when i bought my first cd player.aaahhhh good days.

You guys should more of these ! Nice work!!!
