Someone should make a double neck flying V but call it the “Flying W”.
Mustaine has one! Looks damn stupid tho
Dean and Jackson already got you covered
@Tim Brokkoli I just looked it up, I thought it would be badass since it’s Dave’s, but honestly idk what the hell I just saw💀💀 I really don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that😂😂
Really though if you're including the neck in the shape the Flying V should really be the Flying Y
Would it be a Flying W or a Flying M?
That shipping box would drive Trogly absolutely insane.
He's garbage anyway so why would it even matter? 🤷♂️
Late gang here, he'd get over it & say it's actually alright; he's got more guitars & money than sense.
LOL
You know what you talkin’ ‘bout, Willis.
As if unboxing a fake V wouldn't be terrible enough for a Gibson fanboy lol
With the face shield up the helmet looks like Magneto
Yeah that’s what I thought too
That was the first thing that came to my mind and the gloves made me think Infinity Gauntlet
Same here
i was thinking the same thing
Same here too
It's amazing how good a cheap guitar sounds in the right hands.
Yes, skill>gear, anyway the guitar is just fine, as u said with that principle a noob can make a pricey guitar sound bad so yeah
Noted: buy machetes for mother’s day. I'll tell you how it went.
That'll depend on your Mum's lifestyle and on if she wants a practical gift or a gift she can compete with her friends over.
Funny enough I bought my grandma a nice new axe this year so she can chop wood to heat her house.
Machetes for Mom ? Hmmm?
was babysitting my three year old and trying to watch this. He generally doesn't watch guitar reviews and videos with me all that much.
But thanks to your helmet, swords, machetes, gloves and execution, he watched the whole thing with me. He loves guitars and knights and this was a dream to watch.
Thank you man. Love the channel. 🙏
I’ve literally been looking for an exact V like this on either build kits or Chinese clones. I don’t care if the electronics or frets are crap, those are easy fixes. I’m going to look into this for sure.
- if you still cant find anything, get in touch. Stay healthy bud!
PITBULL GUITARS IN AUSSIE 200 GREAT KIT IF THERE IN STOCK THIS ONE IN VID I HAVE AND BODY IS NOT CORRECT WEIGHS A TON TAKE A PASS AND CHECK PITBULL
you do realise its a bolt on neck and not set like it says
@@paulscushschofield1288 either way, for the price it doesn’t matter much to me.
@@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd there are far better guitars in that price range.check out the harley bentons on the thommans website .theres plenty if reviews of all their models on here
1:35 so you mean the good 'ol swaggersouls. Nice to see that you know each other xD
Before he said "souls" I thought he meant SirSic
Same person
You need to buy a Freddy Krueger glove for unboxings.
And a hockey mask/machete combo.
... and a chainsaw.
Edward scissor hands.
So no ones going to talk about the fact that he was looking for machetes for his mom?
nah thats pretty normal for max
He some moms are cooler than others.
My mom uses a machete to cut weeds from her lawn, she can't pull them out or she might throw out her back.
Yeah, thinking the same
common gardening tool
That Amazon seller has the strangest stuff. He's definitely selling Harbor Freight stuff through his own store. But also music equipment and pet supplies and decorations.
I thought he was just making fun of the people that criticizing him not been serious about hi's youtube chanell
I dont think so, the machetes at harbor freight are actually better quality and cost less.
The biggest issue with non potted hum buckers is they become microphonic. A simple coffee can of a 50/50 mix of paraffin and bees wax melted together, dropping the pickups into it, and waiting for the bubbles to cease will cure that issue. Obviously replacing them will work too, but the potting issue alone is an easy fix.
Love this tip🤍
I wish I had thought of that when I got not my current telecaster model but the previous one. That was assembled with Gibson buckers that definitely had that microphonic treat. I should’ve brought the guitar back to the one who had built it and strong-armed him into potting them. Only thing, i’m not heavy-handed with people that are in poor health.
The body's too wide, it looks more like a Flying A than a V!
Thought the same
Still pretty sick
Benny Andejetz i think part of that is the pickguard size but you’re definitely right
It’s a 1958 body v. The body shape on those is actually a little bigger than a modern day Flying V. Same with the explorer, the 58 explorer body is rounder and bigger than today’s models.
Looks like cheap kit you can find online.
And lo, upon the horizon, there did appear a mighty defender of bargain instruments! And his name was Sir Shredsalot.
Scalpers watch this channel like a hawk! One "patsmusiccenter" is selling these on Ebay for $300.
@@Axess-sv8nq actually $399....hope they never sell it!
@@dealerauctionnightmare4689 Yep! It's my greatest wish that ALL Scalpers get stuck with the stuff they hoard and price gouge with. But, unfortunately, there are many idiots who will gladly surrender their wallets to them.
AWESOME!!
Looks great for $180 but I really want Epiphone to make a '67 reissue
Ye I thought I was the only one
Dude watching this makes me miss the V I used to have
I had a Randy Rhoads Jackson
And it was fun as heck to play
This model is pretty surprising actually for what it's worth and what it is
I'd say not bad at all!
Yes! There's something about a V that is irresistible!
LOL "back in the 60s...the 1460s"
"machetes and guitars" brand new youtube channel.
The channel Guns and Guitars exists so it's not too far of a stretch...
MY CHRISTMAS GO TO GUY
I really like the way this channel is growing . It's really beatiful and entertaining . Keep on rocking Max🎸
Its just that Max is so awesome every guitar looks good when he's reviewing and showcasing it. Also when it comes to sound test the playing is so incredible that you're convinced that the guitar is killer!
I’ve always wanted to say that you’re one of the coolest guys on RUclips, I mean I absolutely love your videos when you demo new guitars and amps and different things and I really appreciate everything with how knowledgeable and how accurate you are because to an absolute beginner people look to someone like you who is somewhat of an expert that should take your advice somewhat seriously and you’re a really cool dude so stay positive and stay safe my brother!!
Thank you!
Guitar Max- "I found a stick on the ground while I was at a Renaissance Festival. I'm just going to string it up and we'll see how it sounds!"
* makes it sound AMAZING!....
When Max sang those two lines from Manowars Blood of my Enemies, I IMMEDIATELY had to fall in and finish the chorus for myself. True brothers of steel know.
The safety gear used during the unboxing never fails to bring a smile to my face and a chuckle! Always practice safe unboxing ;-) Great video as always. God bless and rock on.
Ahh my favorite time of the year is here again, looking for dual machetes for Mom
Man alive, I love the direction this channel is going in haha.
Whats fascinating about this video is how a great musician can make any instrument sound great.
Oh, wait, that reminds me, my old mum could use a new pair of good machetes for her Shaolin Aerobics class. Thanks for mentioning that.
I got the exact same one, was temted to get another. It's amazing for the price and the balance is great. The only problem I had was finding a pickguard to replace it. I love it anyways
What's the company name and where did you get it ?
@@scottsteel4230 it was muzikutopia, it says that the brand is Zenison. It's on Ebay. Hope that helps
@@savagelouie7007 Thanks for your response. It is MUCH appreciated. I've been looking for something to mod out and have some fun working on, and that V looks like a contender. I would change the pickguard to black. Have you tried WD? I had good luck with them.✌️
@@scottsteel4230 no problem....i myself added a kill switch. I'll be sure to check them out cuz black does look cool.
@@savagelouie7007 Try Greasygrooves for pickguards too. They have some VERY cool stuff.🎸✌️
Wow, it's been a long time since you played Vs!
Hello! I saw this guitar online and clicked on your video to check out review! I might skip on it, but thank you for sharing info on guitar. I really enjoyed your riffs & humor! Thank you ☺️
There are guitar unboxings and then there’s this guy’s guitar unboxing. He takes this on to a whole other level.
I would shield those humbucker routs and control cavitys and get a good ground to solve that humming.
“I was looking for a machete for my mother’s birthday”....best mother son relationship ever?
No one else like this comment I like the number I’m at
I was thinking about those machetes the whole video lol Not just 1, but 2. So many questions there
He's gonna get her a hockey mask for Christmas
@@way2sh0rt07grad probably for yard work
FishTaco 650 Wasn’t being serious 😂
way2sh0rt07grad one for each hand
nice unboxing outfit/gear, equally useful for unboxing and go to shopping and stuff
Absolutely creased! love your channel and videos!
It has a neck binding, which is cool. Most v's this stlye don't have one.
@The King most '67 flying v styles, Gibson and copy don't have a neck/fretboard binding.
Better than those awful Westfield Flying Vs or Harley Bentons ,they make me have nightmares 🙈🙈🙈
Good modding platform. I'd put a decal or sticker on the headstock.
I was just thinking the same thing. I’m tempted to buy one.
Why would I put a decal on the head stock? To pawn it off as something it's not.....?
'67 Style Flying V's have the arrowhead truss rod cover with the Gibson logo on it.
@@aaroncroft5598 Its really that great of a stretch for your mind to think of possible reasons why someone would do that without the intention of defrauding someone? 🤣😂 Probably so they have a guitar that looks like a Gibson that doesn't cost as much, fuckin duh. Literally the raison d'etre for Epiphone, Squire, LTD, etc.
@@Jay-st6sl hey u could b right I should try to look at it from a dif angle. Hope for the best. 🤘
Thanks for the review!!
Very interesting!!
max, funniest unboxing ive ever seen, so fun, informational too
thank you, lmbo

@@topbrasstv8867 Or to kill her obnoxious neighbor.
@@shredwithdignity1378 why do people always see edged tools as weapons?
@@topbrasstv8867 I was just kidding. My grandma uses a Machete to chop down weeds in her garden!
mom gets edged weapons. max gets a guitar. that's a happy ending!
A machete is only a weapon if its in the wrong hands, in the right hands a machete could be a gardening and landscaping tool, an impromptu hatchet, a fish cleaver, a large hunting knife, or in a lot of cases a collectors item, there's a lot of things a machete is used for rather than to hurt people.
Edged fret guitar!
THIS IS THE BEST UNBOXING VIDEO EVER!!! Thank you MAX! I love some of your reviews. You made it with your videos.. You presented to me a guitar of my dreams, I didnt even know something like that exist before watching your videos. And now you are jumping out dressed in knights armor plating and doing unboxings with a sword! YEAH!
I subscribed for the simple fact that this guy is so cool and super chill
Wait! That sell has a double neck guitar for $290. This seller is intriguing. Power tools, woodworking tools, camping, drums, guitars.
I'd they sell turbos and fishing gear I don't need any other stores.
Just noticed that the "wings" of this V are spaced wider than some other copies?! Hopefully they'll offer these in White in the future..... Cool heads-up Max!👍
I know what you mean. I'd totally cave if it came in white.
@@NexusLives it's ridiculously easy to paint a guitar.
@@alexcorona I mean, if I want to spend a few or more hours stripping it down, sanding it, and everything.
They have em in white now
What an epic unboxing, you should do that more often
Cool video, I've actually seen that on Amazon and was wondering if it was any good so, thank you!
1:55 What's up Magneto
Another Great Video Homie, and also I checked the seller page and found all the machetes and I think you mother will absolutely love them. I got a katana last year.
The katana was for my mother.
Did she like it?
She loved it, she uses mostly for gardening.
Just got mine in today. Can't complain about fit or finish. Double boxed, wrapped in the same cloth. Identical to Max's video. No scratches, dings, or dents. Measurements are spot on with the big "g" model. Plugged it in and yes, I'll be upgrading the pickups with probably wilkinson's or something. For the money (if you can find it since amazon's sold out right now day of Max's video) you can't really beat it beyond grabbing a used Jackson King V/Rhoads V/ and it's still cheaper than a dean v. If it comes back? Grab the heck out of it. You aren't going to get this quality for this price anywhere else. New set of tuners, new strings, and new pickups and you might as well have the real deal.
Maxx - This past Mother's Day I got my Mom a Ninja-Sting 5120 Nice little Machete' ..... just because I love her. And she loved it. You should see her Garden now. Plus.... nobody messes with her.
No ones gonna talk about the fact that he made a swaggersouls reference?
Armored Saints - Raising fear. Yup that’s the album cover.
@goobtuber probably Grim Reaper
hey whats up man, wanted to thank you for always reviewing budget stuff, not many high end guitarist such as yourself take the time for the little guys out here that are just beginning. I followed your advice and bought a used guitar on ebay, the guitar is a LTD 100qmnt with seymour duncan pickups (tb-5 bridge and sh2 jazz neck) a hard case, a guitar tuner and guitar strap for 250 plus like 60 dollars shipping, but the guitar sounds amazing... keep up the good work
The guitar reminds me of those cheap guitars you order from a Sears or J.C. Penny catalog back in the70s and 80s!!!! What good memories!!!!☺😊🙂☺ I got my first cool electric guitar from the Sears catalog!!! It was a birthday gift from my Mom and Dad and the guitar retailed for $120 back in 1986!!! The guitar was a Charvel Strat copy with a Charvel pointy head stock (like the Randy Rhoads guitars) and it had 2 humbucking pick ups and a Fender style tremolo bar!!! It was a cool looking guitar!!! ☺ The guitar looked like a custom made guitar from Charvel/Jackson!!!! It had a black gloss finish with fluorescent red binding (Hey it was the 19 80s!!!!🙂☺😊☺) all along the fret board and the body!!! It had fluorescent red dots instead of the typical white dots on the fret board!!! The fingerboard was rosewood!!! 🙂 The Strat shaped body was unique as well! The body had more of a Telecaster like feel!!! ( The guitar body lacked contours and no belly tuck and lacked round edges!) What was strange was the guitar had no brand name on the headstock! 😯 It just had a serial number and it said made in Korea! I regretted selling that guitar!!! 😞😩😞 I wish I still had that guitar!!! I miss that guitar! It was a fun guitar to play! I sold it so I can buy A Kramer guitar with a Floyd Rose whammy bar!!!! What a dumb ass decision that was!!! After two years of playing the Kramer guitar I realized that whammy guitar playing antics was NOT going to be my thing!!! 😞😞😞 Max!!! You are quite an accomplished player!!! You got skills bro!!!!🙂 Keep up the great work!!! I enjoy your channel!!!!☺👍👍❤👍❤
All the guitars behind him add up to a 2020 Gibson Les Paul Standard
Hey your Mom is just like my Mom she loves her machetes just don't make her mad love your videos great entertainment and learning Channel thank you
You have a great sense of humor. I appreciate that.
Not far from picking one of these up soon myself. A new set of pickups and some locking tuners like you said the perfect guitar for improving as you go along. Also always wanted a Gibson style V without the Gibson pricetag
I’m waiting for the day that he has to suit up in full armor. That in itself will be a 30 minute video lolol
Black knight from Monty python. ‘‘Tis but a scratch”
Picked up a “b-stock” Jackson JS-232 with a.floyd rose for 210 so I still think I got the better deal.
Those JS32 series Jacksons are great guitars!
On one side you have a considerably better guitar, on the other its a Floyd Rose so it'll take 3 and a half years to get in tune.
James Hunter It was shipped with the strings loose. So I did a full setup and I spent about that much time getting the strings stretched. Still can’t figure why it was a b-stock. But it holds tune now.
Nice review and killer licks!
Sweet new helmet.
Changing the pickups might not be as easy as you expect. A lot of these 67 V style guitars (such as my 05 Epiphone) have the bridge studs mounted on top of the pickguard. Even when all the screws are out you still can't take it off without pulling the studs. Not a huge deal for you (because I'm sure you know how to remove them without damage), but someone who doesn't might be frustrated at that point.
I would totally mod that to be like either's Kirk's or Jim Martin's Flying V.
All it seems to need (coming from someone who knows nothing about modding) is good tuners and some Duncan Invaders to be good
"Machetes for Mum". The incredible new album from Sir Maxalot.
Been thinking about getting the same guitar. Glad to see that it is a good buy!
SNAP ORDERED!!! Thanks Max
for that price, I think I would rather have a Jackson Minion
For a hum bucking guitar, damn that thing buzzes more than my strat! junky
Well it ain't wax-potted so....
Mike B. Wax potting won’t help the buzzing. It’s a grounding/wiring issue. Wax potting solves microphonics/squealing at high volumes.
@@allstopblue5717 My bad...
Could also be string height not set correctly or frets not dressed, he did say the guitar hasn't been properly set up.
@@JENDALL714 That has nothing to do with pickup buzzing
8:16 that tone is righteous
One of the best guitars I own was a 186$ Brownsville Flying V it was made in ny looks plays and sounds awesome needs a little work at the moment but still one of my favs
$180 for a "Flying V" that only needs a proper set up, fret ends "finished" and better pickups? Even with the extra time and pickups its less expensive than most used ones!! Can you do a "upgrade" vid on this one?? An ALIEN AUTOPSY on the guts to see inside and if its worth putting $ into?? And if it holds up long term!!
Machetes for MOM....... Is your dad Danny Trejo??? Stay safe!!
For $180, you get a guitar that stays in tune. That alone makes it worth more than a Gibson.
Badass helmet. Also impressed by the intonation on that knockoff 'V'.
I use those foam sanding blocks for frets on my builds .
Yeah i was shopping around ebay the other day for a couple of machetes for my mom. Lol didn't expect to hear such a phrash
You always show the prettiest guitars. You have good taste in guitar colors.
Where are these guitars coming from? Like 40 years ago, 190 dollars will almost get you nowhere! But I was delighted with the clean sound! Yes it might not be for hard rock and metal but it might suit Albert King just fine!
You got a winner Max!
Hi Max.. Max here lol
( love your name bro!!)
Thx for ALL you do!! Funny thing that you happened to review this particular V as I've been looking at it off and on for a minute...then Everytime I'm about to pull the plug..they sell out.
Both Amazon and eBay. And eBay had a white one a couple month's ago that was the last one that got away.
Anyway.. Great Review... Playing.. and parody!!
YOU'RE THE MAN MAX!!!!
love machetes, we get some here in Puerto Rico!!!, awesome review, love when you talk about unbranded guitars that sounds cool!!!
From here that plays and sounds amazing!
I really like the pickups. You could pot them easily. The equipment needed is a lot cheaper then two brand name pickups.
Love your letter opener!
Not usually a flying v guy but I want this one now
Nice vid. Love the medieval gear
Nice find Max, I have always wanted a Flying-V myself, ever since I saw a video of Hendrix playing one on some video-mix Vhs tape a friend of mine put together for me in the mid/late 80's. It might have been the Isle of White concert? Anyhoo, great playing as usual, peace and respect from Ireland Max.
I was just thinking "look at the muscuullarrity!" and then suddenly there was a "Brawd Sawd!"
10/10 cracking unboxing.
New subscriber. My first electric guitar was a $200 no name from the 90’s but the bridge pickup sounded great.
Nice video man. That could be a fun mod project.
Awesome demo.
Great demo as always. However I have a Harley Benton victory flames classic v that was $129.00 new. It has a surprising quality for the price.
Awesome wish there is amazon in my country too
Max you make even the cheapest guitars sound awesome 👏
Dude you’re awesome. I had a Washburn dime bag Darrel I bought when I was 16 that was a little too much guitar for me but I wish I kept it. Closest I ever came to a Flying V 🙁
Such delicious playing! Music to my ears. 😝
machetes are always a go to gift for my mom, nice helmet upgrade btw. Looks like a nice modding V that I may just have to grab. thanks Max
A nice set of iron gear pickups and some decent tuners will transform it into a shredtastic V plus you could make a matchstick sound awesome.
This guitar really sounds nice clean. I'm glad that you found this
Btw Cool machetes! :D
And there it is I'll have to get one already got the upgrades at home. Semor Duncan humbuckers and super slinky Ernie Ball strings. From what you said that and a little touch up here and there and I'm all set 🤘😎🤘
