This guy is truly something else: perfectly mixes classic metal and rock with more modern concepts and is able to apply it to any genre he plays. He could just be jamming out a random riff and I would want to hear it in an actual song
@@mathias6423 I guess it's only a matter of taste, 'cause I for example think his vibratos are technically in a top league and sound like they could have been modeled after Malmsteen or other extremely advanced guitarist who triumphed in the 80s. This is simply because some people prefer slower, rhythmically synced bends more than those hasty, impulsive, kind of nervous vibratos, that are typically associated with novice players.
Easily the coolest live guitar ever made and the coolest player to wield it! Bought his signature pro series and love it, but I’d 100% buy another if it came in this color
Brandon is my fav guitarist. His touch he added to TBDM was amazing. Can't wait to see and hear what's next for him. RIP Papa Trev you'll forever be missed.
wow quick, bright, informative, great,...ive never heard a single song but the way you presented that is great, gonna listen to your stuff (shreds) now...NEED A METAL FIX !! AAARGH !!
it honestly makes perfect sense if you play downtuned so you can still get that upper register. I have noticed this as i miss that high range on my axes tuned c standard
Cleveland...Arsis tour....bought you a Pabst...helped load the equipment....also, the Velcro circles that you catch the tennis balls with. Good memories. Glad you are still going. \m/
Brandon is such an amazing player and hope they issue a 27 fret guitar for the public to order seeing how they have the green crackle Kelly for purchase
Such a sick guitar and easily my favorite Kelly I have ever seen. I’m not a crackle maniac (actually thought about getting a Pro Ellis but modding/refinishing for my own taste), but the way this was done AND on that seafoam is just 👌🏽.
@@roccanto86 Fun fact: I had the Loomis pro series pre-ordered in 2020. I swore when the USA dropped (out of my budget) that if a pro model was released I’d get one immediately. My prayers were answered but my impatient self back then cancelled it and got another guitar, that I then sold not even a year later. I underestimated how much COVID would screw supply chains (my job got hit badly too). I tried to remedy my need for a Kelly by pre-ordering the Ellis Kelly last year the day it was announced. Cancelled that for a Concept Series RR. No regrets with that as the RR is my favorite so it was a “fair” trade compared to the Ellis. But since I didn’t get the Loomis and sold what I bought instead of the Loomis, my heartaches.
@@ilovesguitarmucho haha long travel. Sadly both of the Jeff or Brandon are out of my budget, but I enjoy seeing them cause are gorgeos. Maybe some day :D
Beautiful guitar but for me that green leopard spot Kelly that you toured with since the later portion of nightbringers is the coolest looking guitar that I’ve seen in a really long time.
That's a Wild Guitar... I want that neck to build into my next ML style build... all my Guitars are 24 frets. except an acoustic and my Dean Splittail Floyd.. ( I wish it did.. but. sadly. ? Nope ). but this neck would be perfect.. I like the magnetic back trem cover. . I hadn't heard of the Shaller spring claw .. I use a locking claw I get from Floyd Rose.
@@dannyhood7433 I got it used but in mint condition on Reverb, the person was having another child so he brought it down to $1,800. It's a 6 string Caparison Horus Dark Knight sponge finish. SD Black Winter in the bridge and a Bareknuckle Cobra in the neck.
@@heshwuan from which series? I've heard the X series is good quality with shit parts and the Pro series is good parts with shit quality, would love to take an X series and mod the living shit out of it
@@killthekaiju9219 Artists have a lot of reach and usually end up with their own signature pickups. There's no reason Seymour Duncan couldn't make it a signature pickup. I'm sure if Jackson wanted to make that Kelly a production model SD would follow through with the pickup as well.
@@ESPSJ my point still stands. This exact same guitar can only be made through the custom shop. You can get his China made production guitar, sure. But let’s be honest, There’s no way you could replicate this guitar through production means unless it was going to cost as much as the custom shop guitar. Talking anywhere in the range of $5k to even possibly much much more. Titanium Floyd Rose? Replicating what is essentially a one-off pickup in the entire world at the moment? Premium woods and hardware? Even the paint is a one-off custom paint that was made by hand. The production crackle paints are made at a specific China facility no matter what the price is. Because it is essentially applied not painted. Notice how all the production guitars have the exact same crackle pattern? In real life it’s actually hard to replicate a crackle unless you used a template or did it by hand to match a specific pattern. My point is? The comment said “this is my next guitar” I’m speaking on literal terms. It is impossible to get THIS unless it is through Custom Shop and dumping SERIOUS cash.
That is sweeeeet!!! Do we know what the future of TBDM is at out current time line? So sad to hear the horrible sadness the band and their families must be going through. Im grateful I got to see their careers go from random-Detroit metal band, to the success they have now.
@@Everythingwentblack69 hahaha that’s pretty inline with my personal timeline as a fan as well. I was fortunate to see them play a few times. Top-tier. No question haha
That could be the absolute sexiest Kelly I’ve ever seen. The Kelly is my favorite Jackson guitar shape and in my opinion the reverse headstock is a must on any Jackson guitar. I really wish Jackson would offer something like the old Kelly XLR of the mid 90s. I thought his other green crackle was sweet but this new one is Hot !
27 frets are cool and all until your hand gets blocked by the horn - that's the issue I have with my 22 fret explorer, I can't imagine what it'd be like with one like this.
I met Brandon yesterday in Hamburg, no thats wrong i actually Stalker him😇🙊 He's such a nice and relaxed guy! Sorry for that Brandon, but i 'm a Black Dahlia extremist
I've always loved Kellys, the first serious guitar I bought was a Kelly from 1995, and I tinkered with it the same way as Brandon: put a push-pull to split the pickups, sanded the neck, replaced the pickups ... but I damaged both the head tip and the lower horn 😅
Wow, switching the tuner button tip and nuts is the nicest touch! I wonder if the Jackson custom shop would do that on a master built order. I recently ordered a Charvel CS, a regular custom team built. A lot of the options from this guitar would not be offered normally (e.g. full titanium Floyd, Schaller Allen wrench thing to name a couple). Are those appointments such as magnetic truss rod cover and back plates and other special feature exclusive to master builds? Can ANY customer out there place such an order?
Pretty cool instrument. However, my current dream is a pro series KV with a hipshot bridge. I'd love to see some modification done to the KVTMG - put a hipshot bridge on it, 24 frets and a blade pickup selector. I'd soooo buy such a guitar.
Everything this guy does is SO methodical.
Soo I'm calculating that by the time Jackson releases this as a Pro model, I'll be hopefully able to afford it
Thanks for that tip man, I sweated all over my dean dime wanted model and after a few months rust in peace.
The best player of this generation! Soo sorry for his loss :/
Hope he makes it big with another band. There is no one like him in my opinion.
Unfortunately there is no one like Trevor either, I'll be interested to see what happens for everyone in the future.

“You tune down, you lose frets….”
Never actually thought of that but I’ll be COT-DAYUMMD if that don’t make all the sense in the world.
There definitely needs to be more magnetic truss rod covers holy shit

Washburn had a series of guitars with the "Stevens' Extended Cutaway", back in the mid-80's, with up to 32 frets, or so, for the higher strings.
Is that the Nuno thing?

For sure my favorite axe you own. That thing has always blown my damn mind
My Caparison has 27 frets. I rarely do solo stuff, but man they sound cool when you are playing some scales past the 24th fret.
I have no concept of extra fret luxury. How much did that caparison guitar cost? Is it 7 string?
