I've Been WRONG for Sleeping on This Brand... || Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray RS 
Видеоклипы
Hunter: These guitars are all the same, so boring!
Also Hunter: General Kenobi, I will be adding this ninth Les Paul copy to my collection.
How good have I been at uploading consistently last couple of weeks lol! Hope everyone has a great weekend :)
Not as good as Pringle...but still pretty good.
YES
bro may i know much weight for the modern jackson 7.?
Lmao I got this guitar for £800 brand new on a summer sale, just when I picked it up I fell in love, I can see why it's not for everyone but for me i just immediately played scales at high speed better than I've ever done before, I was so lucky lol
Before seeing the headstock I actually thought it was a Schecter C-7 Deluxe. I like colours on my guitars. Like my custom Warmoth is baby blue, and I refinished my Schecter Omen 6 in matte white with Orange knobs. If you're gonna go super basic, you have to give a wildcard option as well. Like make it salmon coloured or like pastel yellow. Like just do something funky. 😂
Same ! I thought that this was a c8 at first glance but then he said jackson XD
I think the issue is now that these previously high-end upgrade components have become stock across brands, it's hard to tell the difference between any of the brands. It's not necessarily a bad thing; we're getting way more guitar for our dollar these days.
Yeah, imo the carbon fiber rods with 5 piece neck stays in tune amazingly well. But so does a telecaster.
@@MaestroJericho Which is why I am in the camp of a telecaster with carbon fiber rods, a 5 piece neck, and an evertune and locking tuners, because why not?
0:54 "Baritoone."
Petition to turn Baritone's pronunciation to Baritoone.
As for the guitar? Yeah this thing is pretty boring. I hope they do something more interesting soon. *COUGH COUGH* JOSH SMITH FROM NORTHLANE'S SIGNATURE DON'T FUCK IT UP JACKSON *COUGH COUGH*
The endless sea of superstrat 7 strings is what’s making modern guitars boring in my opinion. Except for a couple of T shapes and the resurgence of the iceman, it’s superstrats, superstrats, super-fucking-strats… or headless.. ugh!
Been waiting for a jazzmaster 7 for ages.
@@WorkedSix28zerozero1 oooh that’d be sick! I’ve been dreaming of a mockingbird 7 personally.. you know still all modern appointments like 26.5” scale and what makes 7 string guitars sick, but some variety in shapes would definitely not hurt!
Bring out the explorer 7 string, make me a new v 7 string. I would kill for a new 7 string charvel star
I like what Balaguer and Ormsby do. They have some unique stuff. Especially how Balaguer has their "modern vintage" thing going on
And on top of that the T shapes we get are usually signature models with weird design choices (see the Stephen Carpenter pickup placement). Definitely would be nice to see more variety like T shapes, offset bodys, Flying V, and maybe more from PRS.
I Just want more 7 and 8 strings to come with passive pickup routing. Aside from fishmans, active pickups have gone out of style for extended range guitarists. Plus my favorite pickup set (Mark Holcomb alpha/omega) only comes in passive housing.
I have no opinion on the guitar either way, but Hunter's clean playing has improved so much.
The identity of jackson is a easy playing compound radius super strat with a unique neck carve railroad tracks for frets, double humbucker, 3 way metal monster! Back in the day they were kinda at the forefront of jumbo frets and if I am not mistaken Grover jackson came up with the compound radius as a standard feature.
'at the forefront of jumbo frets' - what an identity...
@@LTDudzek lol, yeah I guess it's not the biggest deal but, first off there was more to my quote. I also said compound radius boards among other things. Which honestly were only like "custom guitar" features before jackson made them Industry standard. To be honest, small shitty frets are the bane of alot of guitarists existence!
@@demuthjesse true enough! I personally love jackson's golden age guitars of the 80s and 90s, I just kind of wish they'd return to making what made them great/stand out in the beginning, rather than pumping out boring far-Eastern made djentsticks like every other brand these days.. Just my take!
@@LTDudzek I totally agree but being backed by a band like periphery kinda helped them stay relevant in today's market. People live for the crakel finishes and neck through soloists, i do too. They still make all that stuff but to help pay the bills, they do what they gotta do. Not to mention that jackson is just fenders excuse to make metal guitars since they "own" jackson anyway.
Meh
The only things this is missing to be a Jackson Agufish signature is a hot pink/seafoam green/some sort of blue color and swapping the Gotohs for Hipshots haha
flat grey is depressing...I'm depressed now. Thanks Jackson!
Great video, man, thanks! Also, thank you for clarifying about having the Evertune set up for bending. I have a Evertune on my Solar guitar and I didn't know it could be set up for bends (I'm still learning). So when I saw you bend with the Evertune my first reaction was surprise!
Ola has some videos on how to properly use and setup an evertune! Definitly worth checking out
7:09 is that Eric Clapton on 7 string modern guitar?!
Jackson should just give us a Warrior 6 and 7 with a cool finish and an Evertune
Man i feel that, i think ive got super strat fatigue. Explorer and ibanez xiphos too 👌
Could cut both ways. I'm sure there are some that are sick of black beauty's, goldtops. I'm not in that camp, but I could see how modern guitars are trying to distinguish themselves from classic esthetics like "bursts". Personally I could see this grey having more longevity than the green you suggested, but putting the guitar in context of other brands I see what you mean about it being forgettable
I love how pringle is just sitting there in frame waiting for pets. Also ET's are awesome. My Banshee Mach 6 ET hasn't been tuned from drop C since june...
Great work keeping up with the release schedule Hunter!
If no one else says it I really appreciate the 3 videos a week.
Pringle, during demo: "Wow father, this guitar is so in tune, what lovely pitch."
I agree, especially with 7 and 8 string guitars there’s nothing but super strats and maybe a single cut here and there, but that’s it, however it is good to see ESP have a 7 string tele.
The guitar industry is in DIRE need of diversifying their extended range guitars with more teles and offsets or something. Super strats are getting exhausting to see...
Can we get more explorers and V’s with 7 strings?
I tend to believe that it's largely due to balancing issues that come with other shapes that the majority of 7/8 strings tend to be super strats.
What got me into building my own guitars tbh was the lack of choice in extended range shapes
Check out solar guitars
Exactly how I feel about every schecter I’ve ever played. On paper it’s perfect. But I can’t vibe with it at all
Same!!
I’m a Jackson fanboy though
I find Schecter guitar just about perfect, I say just about perfect because there's a LOT of guitars I haven't played :)
Yeah same for me they've always been on the I know there is nothing wrong with this but I don't like it boat.
@@vaughanmacegan4012 i know lots of people like them and i truly can't tell you what it is i don't enjoy. But keep playing what you like!
Love the guitar, kinda hate that it has the finish of a modern 4-door sedan.
I’ve had this since earlier this year. Killer guitar
Trying to choose a first seven string and having alot of trouble finding a finish i like with the specs i want, and what happened to binding? Very few 7 strings with binding that aremt black white or gray
The thing is that there always seems to be a new trend in guitars
We had the pink AZ trend like a year or two ago where a bunch of brands hopped on the “roasted maple neck hss pink guitar” , and before that you had the classic combo that you can still see everywhere , mahogany body quilt/flame maple top , ebony board with a Floyd (I swear to god there are so many guitars with those specs)
I just think the market needs guitars with different specs not always the same formula
Take a look at the Bob Weir Premier or Deluxe Bedford by Dangelico
Agree
Definitely forgot the pink AZ. I think I saw that color most from people getting the Charvel Pro Mod DK24
@@Droid96 yup that’s why I bought the dinky mahogany
bro may i know how much weight for the guitar itself?....thanx man
There was a fair amount of fret buzz in the clean samples. Is that normal for a 7 string or is the action super low?
I think the single coil tones on Fluence Classics are actually a separate voice on their own. Not really a split of V1 or 2. Just a Voice 3.
That is correct.
Nice review! I personally would prefer something like this over a fancy finish option. Then again, I prefer viewing a guitar as more of a tool to create music. Something like this is better suited for a minimalist and it also serves as a blank canvas for modding and personalization. For Jackson, when it comes to refining their take on the superstrat shape, this model, along with the Misha Mansoor and Chris Broderick models are definitely a step in the right direction.
Bound for the hang 2! Pleaseeeeee. I need it! Lol. Sweet vid like always~ Would be sweeter with BFTH 2.
Tears In Heaven? Somebody's a Clapton fan. I'm not complaining. I am too.
"Got me a metal 7 string in drop a. Time for some tears in heaven."
I think that what makes this guitars so boring is the lack of things like a pickguard or pickup rings, this migth sound weird but this plastic parts provide a little bit of a contrast making it more interesting
It’s also just the blandest looking guitar. Like it’s just gray. The color just exudes “stuck in class for another 2 hours” which is unfortunate because it seems like a sick guitar
Pickup rings makes to easier to change pickups, but guitars look better without them.
@@shameekd9192 i find that i like them better than no pickup rings, but it depends, if its a black pickup ring on a black guitar it looks awful but if it is a cream ring on a sunburst guitar it can look great
Bruh, whatever you are running for your clean channel sounds REALLY good through those pickups. Beautiful.
While I too prefer the old school looks of the Les Pauls, SGs, Telecasters and Stratocasters, I do love the feel and performance of all the new Super-Strat styled guitars on the market these days. I do admit though, I would like to see more retro and single cut styled 7, 8 and 9 string guitars out on the market. You just can't beat the classic designs. Great demo as always Hunter! Cheers from California!
Awesome job on the finger picking in this demo Hunter !! Not sure if I seen you doing so before ... but definately noticed it here !!
Jackson don't really have a unique identity, you're right. But in my experience, they offer great specs and a quality build. That matters most to me! Love my Jackson soloist 7. That modern is a tad boring though....not sure I get the finish choice.
They did up until recently. They had unique shapes like the Rhoads, the Kelly, and even the soloist. But I feel like they’ve started trend chasing since they signed Misha. It seems like they’ve abandoned their 80s shredder roots.
@@STORMBREAKER_250 Ya I think you make a good point.
Here here duder. I have both js22 and 32 7 strings and they are nothing special lol. But for what they are and what you can do, they aren't slouches either.
@@STORMBREAKER_250 I think it's really down to Fender trying too hard to differentiate their brands. You've got the classic in Fender, obviously, then you have Charvel kind of doing the 80s thing, and then Jackson trying to do the modern more trendy metal guitars. There are exceptions in the line ups for sure, but I feel like they're really trying to justify the existence of multiple brands and Jackson sort of getting the short end of the stick at the moment. Sure, they brought back the MIJ line, but they've kind of lost the plot with them imo as the original MiJ guitars (I own a DK2 in Eerie Dess) are beloved because they were extremely well built, but also affordable and they had some cool finishes. Whereas the new line is still well built but pretty pricey and overall pretty bland. You just aren't going to get the same bang for your buck making guitars in Japan these days, so I would have liked to see them instead bring out a mid priced Korean (or Indonesian) line that was specced really well with some cool finishes, basically something to go up against the LTD 1000 series guitars.
Embodied the entire soul of recording guitarists at 5:25 haha
Killer track as per usual. You and Stay Metal Ray always have the best Demo Tracks!
Not gonna lie, I feel the same about a lot of modern guitars. You have a few standouts, but for the most part, they feel pretty similar, and it stretches into the actual music, I think. I've started tuning to absolute fucking standard recently because it feels like everything I hear is in Drop Hades. I love low tunings - I've got a baritone 6, a baritone 7, and a baritone 8 in addition to my standard scale instruments. But I feel like I can't listen to a modern prog metal song without hearing every Periphery/TesseracT/Sikth/Meshuggah/Monuments trope in existence all strung together...
Ya know Hunter, that guitar would be a great project for an art student to gussy up. Turn one loose on it with water colors or something. Hey, there you go - put a Japanese cherry blossom tree towards the back. Pink would look amazing on that primer gray.
The Tears in Heaven bit threw me off guard 😁
Intro track cool AF dude
Hi Hunter I know the digital stuff is your niche but would you ever consider doing demo segments with a mic'd amp as well? I know it's extra work but I feel like you get a lot more of the instruments character across that way. Either way, thanks for the awesome videos !
Jackson’s identity is solid, reliable, higher quality guitars. Workhorses. They have less pizzazz bc I feel like the money goes into wood and parts quality
My mick thomson is solid af, there are jacksons that have piqued my interest purely bc they feel more *solid*
Do you have any idea what's up with the lack of stainless steel frets? I find that in terms of spec and build quality, Schecter is better value.
@@shubniggurath6464 I’m thinking that Jackson is finding higher quality woods rather than hardware, I’ve always thought that jacksons have had more cajones than most other geets of the same price range
I've had issues with Jackson QC and customer services in the past but seeing those shots of it I'm loving the grey
There's a thing with an LTD that I bought where the saddle posts and to a lesser extent the bridge posts stubbornly float above the body of the guitar.
Looks like an unfinished project that the builder lost interest in. Who'd have thunk Jackson was Good-nougher's
Love your reviews man. Great content and demos.
There is actually some pitch drift with the Evertune, if you look at a good tuner, but you can’t really hear it. (That’s the case with my ET-equipped guitars at least).
Totally agree about the lack of color on production models with the ET btw. I love both my LTD KS-M6 and MH-1007, but I would love something more colorful aswell. Evertunes custom install program is a great option, but the 200$ shipping cost to Europe (plus 25% import taxes here in Norway) makes it a bit too expensive for my wallet.
wow man really nice work on the little demo there sounds like you but newer/better love it, ON A BIGGER NOTE why is there a marker on the 1st fret lmao
I like the primer gray. You can do whatever custom paint job you want over it.
I mean, I want a friggin’ 7 string Tele with single coils. I think the low B with that distinctive Tele cutting bridge pickup tone would sound sick
For sure
This is a fantastic idea.
I own an older agile model in silverburst I bought randomly 2nd hand thats essentially just a 7 string tele. I think they were called Texans. The only real issue with it is getting upgraded parts for it that still fit its asthetic.
What's the discord link?
Exciting to see more production models with Evertune bridges. Now I just have to try one out. XD
Hey Hunter, it'd be super cool to see you review the new affordable devin townsend Framus signature model!
I love Jackson's, I got a DK2 Dinky for my first guitar and would like to have a soloist as my "last", but one of the things it has to have is stainless steels, and it's very hard to see a Jackson with them, which is a god dammed shame, specially with the Wildcard series that they had, gorgeous looking thing.
I have the DK modern ash ht6 in the sandblasted red and black and I love it. I'm going to be in the market for an evertune 7 soon and thank you for this review talking me out of doing this. I didn't like the looks of it but figured if it was like my current DK modern it would be worth it for the lack of looks, but I will probably get the LTD MH1007 Evertune instead.
Love the honesty!!! Not cool when youtubers say bad stuff is good. I trust you to tell us the truth, Hunter!
The primer gray is sweet. Some people don't want to look like a cartoon from an '80s hair metal orgy while they're playing.
Me personally I like the look. The sandblasted ones for me look terrible. It's just not a look I'm into. Over all glad to see you review this one. The 6 string has been one I've been interested in as I like the Jackson neck profile.
NGL for a touring musician these things are godsent. Chuck it in the van, drive to the next gig and take it out right on stage without worries. Headstock on this looks too big compared to the body though, odd dimensions. Still, it sounds pretty kickass. Also, never thought I'd hear you play Clapton.
What I hate about guitars nowadays especially at the top-mid to Entry higher range $1000-$1600 is such a bad mix up of premium and lower end parts.
Like Ibanez prestige with locking tuners, Premium woods and craftsmanship etc. but leave more to be desired with things like just average Dimarzio fusion edge pickups and Nickel frets instead of stainless steel at the price you’re paying. I really wanted to feel the premium Japanese craftsmanship but I feel at those prices, you can get so much more.
Or Jackson with Evertune bridge, locking tuners and such but with a plastic nut and Nickel frets. For $1500 dollars. Made in Indonesia no less.
So hard for me to settle for a guitar.
Props to brands like Schecter with lines like their C-1 SLS Elite with things like Hipshot Bridge, Locking Tuners, Steel frets, Neck-Through design, Ernie Ball compensated nut etc. made in Korea all for around $1100ish dollars. And so easy to find used models for less at great condition.
And lesser known brands like Jericho Guitars offering premium specs like those listed around $700-$1000 Blowing other brands out of the water bang for buck wise.
We need more options like these.
Just wanted to rant. Haha
What’s the riff at 8:04 it sounds so familiar but I can’t name it lmao
I think the real reason why this guitar feels like an any other modern guitar from Ibanez for Schecter is simply because they are manufactured in the same factory in Korea or Indonesia.
Is anyone else looking for a midrange 7/8 string strat or is it just me? Ever since I've seen Javier from AAL play his 8 string strat from ESP I've always wanted one
8:40 System Of A Down - Aerials
Finally some SOAD love.
I own this guitar and it's a work horse. I do agree with the volume knob, but if you're buying a guitar for the color you're buying it for the wrong reason. You should buy guitars for what purpose it's going to serve you. Also the demo was fire 🔥
I'm so used to hearing fishman moderns or emgs...im definitely going to look into the classic fishmans,Fish-Man!!!🤘😜👍
Have you seen the evertune multiscale by ormsby? They look like fun
I dig the look of this guitar for a certain type of look that goes with it, but they should be experimenting with new other shapes that s-shape, I like the evertune LTD t-shape from a few years back... I think it was in Tiger's Eye Burst or smth like that.
I bought an ET7 not long ago because I've had an HT7 but wanted the evertune and a non 5k guitar to beat up live.
My only complaint is the look lol I have plans to do something with it eventually, but I honestly don't care that much since I bought it for the features not the looks and to keep the feel of the HT7.
The next one is gonna be a skervessen or Ormsby custom lol
Thanks for being honest! We need those details.
Underdog. Will probably have a following. EC on a 7 w/Et; scherzo. Swamped by
Cashified, Onestring, and Custom Casters, Jackson dependably fine. Great show, thanks.
I like schecters, ltds, and I am a diehard Ibanez fanboy. However, all of the Jacksons/Charvels I have owned have the most comfortable neck profile/radius, in my experience.
Nice Gibson you got in the back. What are the odds that you get up with Harley Benton about making Melody Maker style guitars? I want a Sg melody maker but can't justify 8-900 dollars for one, haha
I think the 12”-16” compound radius fretboard is a Jackson/Charvel thing so maybe it’s got that going for it. Maybe with the aesthetic thrills out of the way it’s just a riff machine. Or you can sticker bomb it. Lol
This guitar exists as the perfect studio instrument; it will never go out of tune, is capable of achieving a broad spectrum of tones, and has a huge flat fretboard. It's essentially a midi guitar (but not terrible). Modern Prog is currently a musical field for guitar virtuosos who are simultaneously DAW experts to generate crystal clear music with zero flaws and that is what this instrument is designed for.
This design seems like it lacks charisma because it's effectively a MIDI-Keyboard
I have learned that once you get a guitar made for you, every guitar becomes boring.
We definitely need more color selection! Especially on midrange priced guitars. Gloss black & white has been done to death! & I'M no fan of tobacco burst🤮! They need to skiddle up the paint pallet!
I agree that thing needs some color! I feel like Rallye Green or Go-Mango or hell even Plum Crazy would be great. Yes they are all Mopar colors but that guitar reminds me of an old Detroit Muscle Car that hasn't been painted yet or being restored.
Also yes I agree with other comments, Cleans are consistently getting better. Though I'm not sure Clapton ever thought about playing Tears in Heaven on a 7 string. (At least that's what it sounded like you were playing to me)
I need a 6 and 7 string Jackson Warrior with an evertune! If they can give me that, then my life will be complete!
Jackson should make the Outcaster a permanent addition to their lineup. I would love a modernized version of one of those.
When alot of your line up is flashy colours and cool finishes, and have been doing them since the 80's, "primer gray" is a stand out colour and something different.
Jackson's identity is "awesome."
It's a recycled EVH color just like the Jackson bursts are showing up on the EVH models.
Agree. Also this particular model feels and sounds awesome. It's just a bit overpriced.
I will say this- for a person with big hands, Jacksons are just amazing. I have as many guitars as you do, and my Jacksons are the most comfortable to play. By comparison, I have a SGJ, and that neck is just awkward for me to play on (it was a gift )
I'm with you, especially the dk pro modern these 7 string necks feel so damn nice
I think you got something wrong here. I bought my VGS guitar with Evertune bridge in 2012 - and it was a production guitar (relative cheep, too). That was nine years ago.
Jackson is a Rock/Metal brand mostly. I had a DK2 in the 90s and it was a metal machine. The neck was amazing. Sure I had to swap the humbuckers for Seymour But otherwise it was perfect. My dream guitars are a soloist or a Rhods V. My Hannemenn and Spitz influences there.
I have an ‘87 Jackson San Dimas custom shop with some badass Ghost Hot Rod Flames on it as well as dual ESP George Lynch (Dokken) M-1’s with the Purple, Orange, and Yellow Lynch Burst and Yellow Bengal graphics on them and they’re easily some of the best sounding, looking, and playing guitars in my entire collection…
…I just wanna know wtf that thing is in Hunter’s hands…
Love how you dressed as the guitar
This particular model seems quite popular over the past year, so I'm not sure where Jackson got it "wrong" lol.
Ya I was very wrong on this one, it seems. it pops up a lot and I am eating my own words on a daily basis lol.
@@agufish Its all good man. Its all subjective in the end. I used to dislike Ibanez guitars in the past because I wasn't a fan of their designs. Now I adore them!
I love the swamp ash sandblasted guitars...with evertune,epic!!!
I struggle with 6 strings, 7 and 8 is just too much. Banging demo.
Jackson has been around for a long time when I was like 12 charvel was the must have shred guitar but. A lot of people get Jackson's (I had a kramer) even my dad a 70s 80 rock player got a higher end cracked bone active charvel n he was a gibson player. I recently got a charvel desolation DC 2 St I re shaped the neck and its one if my go to guitars.
Not gonna lie, beginning of the year I had 4 Aristides guitars but sold them all since I kinda got bored of them mainly due to tone. That's after years of saving going from similar modern guitars like Schecter KMs/Kiesel/Mayones/etc.
Now I have a Gibson les paul slash, PRS Dustie Waring, and an ESP Horizon and Eclipse and I'm more fond of them. I wish I Kept my Mayones though, that had something cool going on with it too.
This is the best guitar ive ever had, never cared about color or look really, ticked all the boxes for me. Soundwise it is awesome, i cant say that i dont miss alpha&omega i had in ibanez, but ive always been ibanez player, wanted similar feel how it feels in hands, and without all the ibanez’s production minuses like perfect intonation across whole board.
I set this one up in about one hour and i never had need to anything to it anymore, while it has been carried around changed strings etc.
Change strings and no tuning or intonating needed. Like wtf, i needed this years ago. Only thing is here in Norway it was difficult to find a string set tensiom wise that works well on all strings for evertune and the one that worked for drop A is 9.5-64.
Ironic, I feel the same way about Les Pauls. They are boring, nothing about them stands out and they NEVER stay in tune. I have a Jackson USA Misha Mansoor 7 string and it is by far the best guitar I've ever played and I've been playing for forty years. Let it go man, let it go.
I wonder if they sent the blue one, you’d think it was less boring. Some of these old white guy product managers need to roll the dice on evertune a little more, and not use all the safe/boring/cheap colors. I kinda feel like the lack of color options helps keep their cost down and compensates for the cost of the bridge.
Fix the color and I'm onboard :) but yeah I would take the banshee over this any day.
3 vids behind. Catching up. Onto the next 🤘
It's heavier that a 6 string because it has a wider neck with a longer scale. The Evertune as an extra saddle and pickups are wider and an extra tuner.
Well just give it to me... I would in fact love this thing
It's weird, I recently got a JS Floyd equipped model and felt kind of the same. It was boring, just some minimal specs, terrible pickups, terrible quilt top, etc. Just didn't feel like it competed with Schecter or even Harley Benton
It seems so weird to me to hear someone say “I don’t know what the identity of Jackson is.” Back in the day if someone said “Super Strat,” More often than not a Jackson is what they were referring to.
