Gibson USA 2018 Guitars - Explorer vs Flying V

- For more info the Gibson 2018 USA line up go here - bit.ly/2xU76w2
This is part 5 of 6 videos where we check out the Explorer & the Flying V from the 2018 USA range. By the way, all Gibson guitars are USA made, but for some reason, the core line of Les Pauls, SGs, Firebirds, Explorers & Vs is always referred to as the USA line. The Memphis range (semi acoustics), the Montana range (acoustics) & Custom Shop range are all made in the USA, but Gibson just give those ranges different names. Confused - so are we, but its been that way for a long time!
Rob is playing through a Mesa Boogie Mark V:35 with a GFI Specular Reverb pedal & Lee is using a Marshall 2525 Jubilee head & is using an EP Boost & a Dunlop Mini Wah in the front & an MXR Carbon Copy & Boss Reverb in the loop.
Next up are the Firebirds - stay tuned!
Cheers!
Lee & Rob

Just saying but I would buy the shit out of a Captain-Chappers Blues Rock album
Fully agree. Maybe someday they will do it just for us..
exactly
And of course "Snow Falcon" as a bonus track :))
Had this exact same thought. They could call it Chapters.
Captian's Chapters :D:D:D
So Rob had in his hands an Explorer plugged into a Mesa Boogie Mark V, he mentioned James Hetfield, but he didn't played any Metallica riffs? I feel slightly offended by this
João Sérgio well since he didn't have an all white or black and white explorer.. I'm kinda olay with that
But he should've played some
Should have plugged in a AC30 instead hahahhahaha
yeah they both should have played at least ONE song by Metallica since both James and Kirk played Explorers and V for a long time
They didn't want to get flagged
why dont you guys do a podcast where you can talk about guitars and other stuff? People would watch/listen to that
Finally got this explorer after 10+ years of wanting one since I started playing. Idk how anyone could dislike the shape! Gorgeous.
So, apart from getting the colour of the V wrong (it does look black though!), my Freddie & Albert Kings the wrong way around & my Schenker brothers mixed up, I thought I did pretty well in this video!! This is what happens when you try & make 5 videos in a day!!!
weeee ..... lol
Also, the Scorps album you're thinking of was "Love At First Sting", the song 'Winds of Change' was on the Crazy World album a few years after. Love me some Scorps! Top video :D
You tried to contain too much rawk!! in one video. The convergence of the Flying Vee and Explorer co-efficients of rawkness caused temporal disturbances in the force and in turn made accurate information dissemination nigh on impossible. Please do not attempt such manoeuvres in future without proper safety equipment .
You guys missed the guy that probably created the most well known guitar solo on the explorer , who both used firebirds and explorers.. Allen Collins, Freebird, lynyrd Skynyrd.. you missed this connection in both your vids.. 😳😁
Explorer player: Skwisgaar Skwigelf, taller than a tree.
Flying V player: Toki Wartooth, not a bumblebee.
Beat me to it lol.
HM Strats are amazing.
E- Claudio Sanchez
V- Michael Schenker
As a Flying V owner, they are one of the most comfortable guitars to play sat down.
Lee I want you to know that I love the banter you guys get into with each other and the crew behind the camera. It's almost like that's more of the reason why I watch than even the review itself. Also the beach balls are hilarious. And exploding coffee.
The explorer on black would be perfect
slorr55 there's a black version, dont worry!!!
The 2019 B-2 Explorer comes in black and it will be less than 900 US dollars. :)))))
we got a hetfield fan ;)
Jonathan Bowman reading this is funny now :)
RED
Cmon, you said Scorpions. How can we forget Matthias Jabs for his unique Explorers. Infact Gibson had made him custom Explorer 90 during the 80's..
Theirs actually one for sale on my local Buy and sell... For a cool $5000
Yep, Mathias Jabs is so under-rated !
Allen Collins late of Skynyrd too
They are the same spec guitar with a different body 😂
Fluro Flash I mean, they're spec'd the same as some Les Pauls too. Nothing wrong about that.
Thinking about it, even in 1959 when tehy were originally introduced, they were basically same guitars but with different shape, right?
Yeah. I just thought it was funny how similar they are
what were you expecting?
The were introduced in 1958.
Love your videos, guys! I enjoy learning about the guitars and their history and also the stories you tell while sometimes going off in the wrong direction :) thank you for doing what you do!
Extra great video today boys! Look forward to it every day.
Great to have the fun back in the videos a bit more. Funny edits too. Cheers fellas
You know what? Captain & Chappers are still the best guitar videos on RUclips. Not because of the info or the playing (although The Captain is awesome), but because of the comedy factor and their amiable dispositions.
Love the Explorer, looks so classy!
Just bought my second guitar. A Explorer 2017 HP EB.
Im excited like a little kid before Christmas!
Not Freddie King. Albert King! :)
Love Albert.
That bothered the hell out of me. Both are great.
Man, Rob's airdrumming-skills are on point. It's like I could actually hear it.
I enjoy all the tangents!~! The tones are so much more fluid when you guys stand it up.
You guys are becoming as exciting as ever......
dude i cant get over the subtle editing on these videos
Yes!!! Exploding mugs are back!! Really nice straight into amp tones 🎸🎼.
another great video from the captain and the chappers. i love the explorer, i have never been that keen on the v.
They both sound incredible. The Marshall amp Lee's using is kicking. Great tone.
I’ve had one guitar for years lol I wish I could get a guitar like that! Maybe one year lol have a great new year choppers and the captain!!! You guys are awesome!!!
I have the 2006 gold hardware Explorer re-issue and it came with the 496R/500T pickups which I absolutely love.
I like the little edits, great video
that haze bit was perfect
My Dad has two of those 'The Strat' guitars. Two HM Strats from the same year with the kahler trem, 24 fret (very flat and wide!) neck and the 'Strat' headstock. Both in Turquoise. Really nice guitars.
Love the graphics!
Rudolph Schenker,( Another Flying V Player ) Micheal's Brother was in the Scorpions. Micheal did join for a while and guested on some albums after UJ Roth left. Love the Explorer there....Tottaly Jurassic chord sound!
Michael played on the Scorpion's record LOVEDRIVE as a guest soloist when he about 24 years old and having recently left UFO. His brother Rudolph has been in the band all along. Loved hearing Rob play a bit of "Rock Bottom". The live version on STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT by UFO remains one of the best live double albums ever released. Killer guitar work.
The sweep on that mini wah is niceee
I have to say Captain Lee, that Explorer at the beginning of the video does look fantastic on you.
Briliandt vid. Make more of these please.
Thanks for the little bit of Rock Bottom, you made an old man very happy!
Made this 29 year old very happy too. Love that song!
Right off the bat, i love chapters' guitar strap
These two guitars are awesome ! I own a 2018 Gibson Explorer and my next buy will be the Flying V. Both available as lefty.
Great video! Hope to see more Fender, Squier and Epiphone!!!
Claudio Sanchez and Brendon Small, not the most famous explorer players but they made me love them
Well there's a surprise...the gorgeous Gibson gig bag isn't on the website......
07:10 best moment ever... the ball!
The demo at the start was on fire.
man the captain had some really great playing in this video. I like it!
I love u guys i watch your videos for : 10% info
40% guitar playing
60% the talking so funy so intresting ❤
Since there were some comparisons to Fender, there are a few Gibsons that are worth mentioning.
I think the closest to a Fender guitar that I can think of is the Victory MVX, which was an uneven double-cut with all 6 tuners one side of the headstock and a HS style configuration (I say style because the middle pickup was actually a stacked humbucker like a Fender noiseless pickup). There was also a HH-configured MV2. Both models featured coil split switches. Lastly, the victory series also had 1 and 2 pickup bass guitars as well. The single pickup Standard model was passive, while the two pickup Artist model had active Moog electronics (similarly to the RD Artist bass).
There was also the Corvus series, which had a very unusual shape, and was available as a SSS model (as well as a single and double humbucker models as well).
Lastly, there were the S-1 as well as the Marauder. Both of them had Les Paul-ish body shapes with V style headstocks, bolt-on necks, and Bill Lawrence designed pickups. The S-1 had a SSS configuration, while the Marauder had a HH configuration (with the bridge humbucker being a small "blade" model, resembling a larger single-coil in looks). These guitars resembled Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters (or Telecaster Customs in the case of the Marauder) in terms of tone, and I guess people figured that they'd buy a Fender if that's the sound they wanted. Angel Olsen is playing an S-1 these days.
I've always wanted to try a lot of these guitars; especially the ones with Bill Lawrence pickups, as they look interesting. I've also really like the Victory MVX since I discovered it, but have never seen one in person.
I wish they made a Flamed Tobacco burst explorer or V
Oh God yes. I'd sell my kidney to get one...
Anyone gonna talk about that at 4:15
I love your videos, the musical interludes are good too 🎸🎸🎸
Great vid fellas. Love the Big Breakfast reference. More gobby behind the camera interjections. S'all good. :)
I've just order the 2018 explorer. I've always wanted one
Cool jam dudes!
Never been a big explorer fan. the shape doesn't appeal to me. I'd buy a V for blues though. Albert King and Hendrix to the max!!!
I did it. Got a 2014 V120 in Classic white... just a magical guitar. BBPro pups front and rear. The neck pick up is quite simply biblical. Sounds unbelievable in the middle position with a little of the bridge volume rolled off.
Marcus Hogan - The appeal doesn't shape to me, but I like it.
And Jimmy Page! For one song, You Shook Me from Led Zeppelin I.
Little known fact too! Also these days Joe Bonamassa is rocking not one but two original 58 Vs!!!!!!!!!!
Judas Priest KK Downing used a V as did Dave Mustaine of Megadeath so tons of hard rock metal besides blues
Bloody Gooch. :P The thing that makes me HAPPY is that they FINALLY issued left handed versions of these this year.
Would love to see a review of the Gibson 2018 Memphis guitars from you guys!
I became an E-type convert three months ago, thanks to the Schecter E-1 Standard (its neck geometry suits me very well, in stark contrast to Explorers).
You bring up a great point here!! I am not going to lie, I would love a brand new fender shape/ concept guitar!! I love jags and mustangs but I would love to see something brand new as I think we need that and it would probably be amazing!!
Excellent guitar demo but I was most impressed with Rob's drum solos.
Great video and awesome playing as usual, but I must say I'm missing Mick and Pete on Acoustic Paradiso big time! Where are they? Can I get my fix soon?
I love the beach ball that was awesome!
Will you do a Memphis rundown aswell? Cant wait
The little bit of flame on that Explorer
LOL I was thinking of the Fender HM Strat right before Lee mentioned it. I personally think those guitars were really cool and underrated. Definitely fit the times of the late 80's and early 90's.
Lynard Skynard's Allen Collins played the solo to Freebird on a Explorer
Adding the specs on the screen is a great touch guys. Can you add settings on amps and pedals for "sound like" in a similar fashion please?
What in tarnation? Chappers and the Captain aren't using Victory Amps for once? Is this even an Anderton's video?
I've never played a V but I've always played guitar in the classical seated position so I'm sure it would be super comfortable.
See these are the videos I love! Where Chappers and The Captain jam out and talk about guitars!!! The best personalities/presenters on the channel WITHOUT A DOUBT!
That aside! Gibson DID release a new shape this year... it had my curiosity until I found out it cost 4 grand! Didn't even try to sell the guitar from the main lineup...
I'm shocked no one has mentioned Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria. He's a legend and plays Explorers!
I like the new Gibson double cut. Hoping to find one used some day, and give it a good home.
12:14 Captain's playing is so good.
Yes Michael Schenker was in both the Scorpions and UFO. He started with the Scorpions before joining UFO and then did another brief stint with the Scorps.
glad to see this video I'm looking at buying a V or explorer!
most famous explorer user Sammy Hagar
Nice intro dudes!
That natural will sure go nicely with my reverse V!
Rudy Schenker was rhythm guitarist in the Scorpions. Michael Schenker was lead guitarist in the 70's but left in 79. Mathias Jabs has been on lead ever since.
Is rhythm guitarist*
Michael was the lead guitarist for the Scorpions 1st album then left to join UFO. He quit UFO and came back in 79 to record the Love Drive album and then quit again to go solo.
Maybe not the most famous ones, but the ones I immediately thought of:
E - Allen Collins
V - Albert King
I like the explorer best 🎸🙌🔥
I definitely love the explorer. IMO, it is almost as versatile as a Les Paul. I feel it just has a natural punch to it. The flying looks lovely, but couldn't tell why it does not catch my breath when plugged-in. Is the flying v still strings-through the body? I remember that was one of the pros that made me doubt over the explorer.
Speaking of new shapes, would you say the 339 is a new shape? I own an Epiphone ES-339 Pro, and although it's a very recent guitar, I think of it as a middle ground between a Les Paul and a 335. I enjoy playing Slash stuff on it, as much as I enjoy playing B. B. King style blues.
Rudi Schenker is the flying v player who has been in The Scorpions throughout their career. Michael was in only very briefly in the early days!
Just a little suggestion for the editor, could you leave the stats on the screen for longer so that folks have time to read them all? Like, yeah I could pause or rewind to read them, but I want to hear Rob and The Captain play while I read them. Thanks.
Love at first sting. Rudy schenker, also... Tommy Shaw and Mathias Jabs (hilariously also of the Scorps) played explorers
Hey guys. Off topic, but what trem system on that red 335 in the background of all your videos?
Great video, as always - cheers, bob
It is a Duesenberg Les Trem 2... Check it out here www.andertons.co.uk/p/TM85N/guitar-parts/duesenberg-les-trem-ii-in-nickel-retrofit-trem-fortune-o-matic And Danish Pete has done a installation video over on his channel...
I've always associated the "color" for a Flying V as a natural Korina. Long Live Albert King!
I thought the colour of this year's flying V was red, at least that's the info given by gibson at first, weird. Compared to the HP from 2017, do you notice any big difference?
I NEED THAT STRAP!!!! ITS SO COOL
Rudolph Shenker was in the Scorpions with Mathias Jabbs Michael was solo and UFO.
Gibson Explorer is my favorite guitar. I remember Pete Willis of Def Leppard playing one on my favorite Def Leppard album High n Dry.
Mike was in scorpions, Albert king played a V as well, all I had was Hetfield playing an explorer.
I love my 2017 Gibson V with the dirty fingers pickups... Only beef is how delicate the nitro finish is...
20:50
Robs rhythm reminded me immediately of the verse of purple haze lol.
You guys should check out the story in Deke Dickerson's book about a possible Moderne prototype out of the factory in 58.
Rob, that guitar (explorer) suits you very well!
Talking about Fender oddities I have an MIJ Fender Telecaster HSS with locking Kahler trem, for some reason I prefer the odd Tele's to the standards, I have also got an MIJ Precision Lyte bass with active pickups.
I was born with a Explorer in my hands! The V and Explorer were designed by Ted McCarty who also worked for GM designing cars. The V and Explorer take styling cues from a '58 Buick.
explorer: Allen Collins, Lynyrd Skynyrd
flying v: Dave Rude, Tesla
Cap is playing in standing position?! Now that's outside of his comfort zone.
