I'm wishing he did, I already was saying that the British Steel cover is the only iconic Razorblade in all of metal; MGK only got his to the forefront only through "controversy"
Not super heavy metal, but I believe other iconic guitars are these: 1. Stevie Ray Vaughan's teared wood Stratocaster 2. David Gilmour's black Strat 3. Slash's (yup, I know...) sunburn Les Paul
@@zzodysseuszz They are similar, but Paul Stanley used it about 30 years before, and it is actually a real broken mirror, Marty's one has a kind of purple reflective material with the same pattern.
Why no Jackson Rhoads? It was the first offset V and the very first Jackson guitar ever. And there is the whole Randy Rhoads angle,and it's the coolest v. Back in the day the most metal looking guitars were Jackson Rhoads and BC Rich warlocks.......
@@Kyle_Eversit can't be your opinion whether a thing is iconic. Wtf is wrong with people? In my opinion, 2+2=4. Either state a fact or an opinion. A thing can't be both.
I used to work in the Guitar Gallery at Sweetwater so I have played a lot of these. Despite its looks, the Nuno Bettencourt Washburn is an incredible guitar. It sounds great, has unparalleled upper fret access, and has a super comfortable neck. 10/10
@@kevinmitchell766 Well, it's a bit of an issue as the oak was from a fireplace and had been dug by woodworms for centuries... Usually, if you make a guitar out of oak, it will sound pretty thin, but with the chambering and from being freaking dry... I think that those buying commercial replicas of his guitar are nowhere near from sounding like the real thing... Any way, I'm neither interested into signature guitars, nor by sounding like anyone. My fav'd guitar is neckthru with a hippie-sandwich, it's about 3 quarters of maple, a quarter of alder, 10% of the neck is a graphite bar instead of the trussrod and the fretboard is of phenowood, the wood mixed with phenolic resin being sawdust from Brazilian rosewood... AFAIK, I'm the only one owing two on the 46 ever built between 1991 and 1999 and from a psychoacoustic POV, there are only 2 things inducing the same effect on me, two Guarnerius violins, one is the "Vieuxtemps" used by Anne-Akiko Meyers, you know, the $18m one, the other has no price, it's owned by the city of Genoa and you need to win a contest to be allowed to play it, it's "Il Cannone", formerly owned by Paganini.You can't use these guitars as workmates, it's to intense, you'd end at the loonies if you play these all the time! When I had an US-Strat, had to fight to make it sound, there is no such issue there, but I have to fight to not enter in a transe instead!!!
Dimebag's Dean guitar feels very good to play on: Strings very close to neck without buzzing. It sort of feels like it plays itself. Downside: It's very big, and heavy. Massive guitar!
I'm absolutely in love with the Ibanez JEM and I feel it's definitely up there among the most legendary guitars like Dime's and EVH's signature models. Absolutely gorgeous
ML>Razorback. Remember dreaming over so many Dime MLs in Musicians friend catalogs! Razorbacks, not so much. Reminds me of an energy drink can design or something. I know Dime loved em, so no hate there, just not my style.
I was in the guitar store to buy my first guitar. I want to buy a Les Paul, but then I saw a Marty Friedman Kelly (1998 Japan). I had to buy this guitar. Plays very nice.
Man… when I was a kid I was obsessed with that Marty Friedman Jackson Kelly. I would bring my Musicians Friend catalog to school and show all my friends on the bus how awesome it was… and no one cared. 😂 it was hard being a metal kid in the 90’s. I still want that guitar in the worst way.
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!! 2:13 I just saw this guitar in a dream without knowing it existed! I swear, I just had a dream last night where I was in some sort of thriftstore and I came across this guitar with odd cutaway and covered with lots of white stripes. And now it turns out to be real in this video! This is so weird and kind of creepy.
Everyone has their favorite signature guitar, but everyone knows that the Sonic the Hedgehog ESP guitar truly is the most badass guitar of all time, including the Shadow guitar. Im also talking about the Shoe headstock, truly the fastest guitar in existance.
The handle on the Jem is surprisingly useful. I've got two Jems, and I find myself using the monkey grip all the time. It's kind of silly looking, but I honestly wish all guitars had them, from a pure utility standpoint.
I got one of those Schecter avenger things practicly for free. Never been a fan of Synyster Gates but the guitar is fenomenal and the bodyshape grows on you, thankfully mine doesn’t have that stripe paintjob. The shape is the definition of fugly!
I bought an Ernie Ball John Petrucci Majesty a few years ago, and although it was the most unnecessarily expensive purchase I've ever made that's not a car, its the greatest guitar I've ever played and I love it to death
Good point about Jason Becker. His style was very fun and playful. He had a unique voice that often had some nursery rhyme type melodies mixed in. No telling how much more he could have become. Glad he's still around, expressing himself, and still expiring us.
John Petrucci guitar not legendary? It literally outsold almost every guitar on this list. From what I've read it's one of the best selling signature guitars out there. So many people have this guitar. As for the dave mustane V, i think it's in A tier. It got so many people wanting to play Jacksons and King Vs.
Big fan, Bradley. As a super untalented, tone def, terrible memory player want to be, I've really appreciated the noobs tornado of souls solo tab. It probably takes a bunch of time, but a lucrecia nooby solo tab would be cool.
I think I heard Vai say in an interview once the point of the monkey grip being they wanted to come up with something no one in their right mind would copy off of their design. I could totally see that being the case!
Stoked to see Bumblefoot's signature model on there, plus his "early days" ridiculous guitars. Strange shapes for sure, but some incredible music has been made on them.
Dave Mustaine Rust In Peace is one of my favourite flying v ever made... Both James snakebyte and vulture are ugly as fuck, I do like Max Cavalera RPR, Explorers and AX, and new Kirk Hammett V, holy shit...
recently bought ESP Edwards alexi pink sawtooth. been wanting alexi's sig model since i started playing so it was a dream come true. beyond legendary guitar
Hell yeah man this is genius! What i would give to have just one of these amazing guitars. I know Dean guitars are out of style kinda but man i love them especially Dimes version. Well done
Obviously claiming Dime is overrated is clickbait.... Nobody with a brain would believe for a minute that Dime is overrated.... If anything he's underrated.... Also Lexi's guitar is just a rip off of the Jackson V so it doesn't rate💯✅
Brian May's guitar has a really cool history behind it. His father made it out of a table top and a 100 year old wood beam from a fireplace. There were also parts from his mother's sewing kit. Also, that guitar has never been refretted
I have only been playing for 3 years and only own 5 guitars but I bought the a Schecter Loomis 7 string signature for my birthday a couple months ago and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my life. After playing this guitar for months I dont think I’ll ever buy a guitar that isnt schecter ever again. No its not a super crazy guitar but I think simplicity of its design adds to its charm and the feel and quality is the best ive ever experienced. I think it deserves more than a C tier.
The practical use of the Steve Vai Monkey Grip? Have you not seen a Dave Lee Roth Band video clip? It's to get a good grip on it before you toss it over one shoulder during the drum set-up for the solo before you begin to shred and tap so divinely, it makes poor Eddie Van Halen take a step back from his spot in the Band in Heaven to shed a tear...Now please move it up to legendary.
Basically a rear loaded strat (no pickguard) SUPER STRAT ! The Bumblebee on the back of Van Halen 2 was the first rear loaded (funny term huh 😂) strat that I ever saw. So after that 'Bumblebee' Charvel was made, most companies followed ( Kramer, Bc Ritch, Ibanez,etc). The LA metal scene yielded lots of cool super strats FROM lynch, DeMartini, Keel, Rough Cutt (Amir Derakh), etc.
I just recognized that MAB 4 Neck Guitar is all Floyd Roses, the poor guitar tech. Also I remember reading about the monkey grip in the JEM, iIrc Vai literally wanted something to grip and carry his guitar when outside of the case.

@@awguitarroom8033 After owning both, yes. The Deans (Korean AND USA) are the least nice of Dave's endorsed brands. They also sound the worst because of the Livewire pickups. That being said, my main point is that the Gibsons are better than meh, and the Deans are less than legendary.
@shelbyavant5081 I've played his Rust in Peace dean signature and his new Gibson as well and I liked the Dean more. The Gibson wasn't even finished really. The back of the headstock wasn't sanded down and for the price you pay for it those little things are inexcusable . To me it doesn't play as good as my 400 dollar Ibanez. If it's a preference thing that's fine man. You have yours and I have mine. I've also owned a bunch of Dean guitars throughout the years and I've always loved them so I may be a little bias. That being said my father in law has an old les Paul and it is one of the best guitars I've ever played feeling wise. So I got nothing against Gibson or any guitar company.
Out of the few guitars I’ve played in my life I can say the Flying V is the worst thing I ever played but the best was my buds custom Les Paul it was so comfortable I miss it so much
The practical application of the "monkey handle" on the JEM is so it can't be copied. Vai designed the guitar with it so you could always spot someone trying to rip off the guitar.

I don’t care what anyone says I love my Jem 555. It is awesome. The handle grip is great if you like to drink while you’re playing. And you can wander around fondling yourself and carry your guitar at the same time. You just can’t do that with other guitars. Why you think it’s called the monkey grip?
"Red One", Brian May's guitar, was hand built by he and his dad in their shed as a project, it cost a few pounds at the local music store, and despite hundreds of offers of sponsorship, was the only guitar he ever played in Queen. That said, I hate Queen. I think they are the biggest purveyors of anticlimactic, cheap vaudeville rock who ever got overrated by a record company.
As a huge fan of Justin's Art, I appreciate this comment a lot! ^^ His custom made double neck crocodile guitar with his name in the inlays is pretty sick too!
As a Steve Vai JEM enjoyer, the handle serves no purpose other than letting people see what’s hiding behind the guitar. And if you wear the strap low enough, you can play hide the salami with your guitar
I love my signature guitar. It's one of the first. In fact, the musician himself designed it for Gibson and it kinda kickstarted their whole deal. Might've heard of him, he used to shred next to Mary Ford, who as a shredder herself really needed her own signature guitar.

We all know that if KK Downing came out with the MGK guitar for the "British Steel" album all us boomers would be drooling over it.

James Hetfield's "EET FUK" ESP Explorer-style guitar deserves a mention.

also his fake gibson flying v

True❤
Yeah the polka is the classic but the Jackson is his actual signature
Not a boomer but the Frankenstein guitar being at the top of this list is the only right answer. That design began the superstrat era.
There is not a single more iconic guitar IMO
I'd say it's a tie with the les paul. The les paul is so ingrained in guitar culture that people forget that it's a signature guitar.

some of the beatle's rickebeckers are also pretty iconic

I don’t care what anyone says I love my Jem 555. It is awesome. The handle grip is great if you like to drink while you’re playing. And you can wander around fondling yourself and carry your guitar at the same time. You just can’t do that with other guitars. Why you think it’s called the monkey grip?
"Red One", Brian May's guitar, was hand built by he and his dad in their shed as a project, it cost a few pounds at the local music store, and despite hundreds of offers of sponsorship, was the only guitar he ever played in Queen. That said, I hate Queen. I think they are the biggest purveyors of anticlimactic, cheap vaudeville rock who ever got overrated by a record company.
Justin Johnsons 3 String Shovel Guitar 😉
As a huge fan of Justin's Art, I appreciate this comment a lot! ^^
His custom made double neck crocodile guitar with his name in the inlays is pretty sick too!
Bradley you are a lawless man, love it
Majesty deserved a better place imo
Why is Kirk not so classy? Because he defended his solos? C'mon man, hating on Kirk for clout is pretty....... unclassy
As a Steve Vai JEM enjoyer, the handle serves no purpose other than letting people see what’s hiding behind the guitar. And if you wear the strap low enough, you can play hide the salami with your guitar
Jeff Loomis last had a signature Jackson Kelly, didn't he? He hasn't been with Schecter for a long time.
Would have loved a steaming hot take on Fredrik Thordendal's Ibanez FTM33!
I love my signature guitar. It's one of the first. In fact, the musician himself designed it for Gibson and it kinda kickstarted their whole deal. Might've heard of him, he used to shred next to Mary Ford, who as a shredder herself really needed her own signature guitar.
Sounds made up. I don't remember John Huis shredding next to Mary Ford.
Or Ted McCarty LOL
Y r u making this a guessing game, nobody knows who ur talking about, hell, I don't even know who Mary Ford is.

I've wanted an Ibanez Xiphos 7 for the best part of 20 years since discovering Necrophagist
