Scott is so right that headstock is so perfect reverse or regular!! Jackson rules!!👍🇺🇸
Scott is just a down to earth humble guy. A thrash legend
Doesn't know his own setup. Didn't know thicker strings worked better for dropped tuning until in the studio. Recommends an overpriced guitar with a Floyd 1500 because the headstock looks cool.... He's not as humble as he is dumb.
This is why I'm proud to own 5 Jackson guitars= 1 Dinky, 2 Warriors, 1 shark fin RR series and a Jackson Kelly...all js 32s....\m/
Great Interview.
Love Scott Ian and love that green Jackson
Great interview!
Jacksons are the only brand guitars I’ll play!!🤘😝🤘
ESP is better
@@MichaelSmith-ti6qc yeah…..better left in the case!🤣
Well you're missing out on so much other stuff. I would say that's a foolish and ignorant move to not play anything else. But hey...to each his own as they say.
@@frankferriolo9212 I agree with you, it's better to Broden you're playing scope to see what all of them are like, instead of walking a fine line not hearing what other guitars might sound like. but yea, it's better to keep an open mind when it comes to guitars, Jackson is my favorite too, but there is so much more when you Broden your horizon and feel the deference's that all guitar brands have. \m/
@@pantera89 👍
I love the green the most as well. Always liked that color on super strats.
I just got one of these, and I do actually feel like I am playing better than before, Scotty. It does do that for me. Nice.
Got the time tick tick tickin in my head.
I never thought of that angle but great viewpoint by Scott at 01:50
Really cool hearing him give props to Glenn Tipton. Both Glenn and K.K. were huge influences to make me pick up a guitar. Ironically, I saw Fight with Rob Halford open up for Anthrax in Detroit and people were launching plastic pitchers at the stage over and over lol...
I love jacksons and bc richs
The exact one I just picked up...Scott is the shit!!!!! MOSH!!!
Im not that old, but young players don't know how good they have it. He literally couldn't get his hands on an s-style with humbuckers. YIKES!
That makes so much sense about mr bungle. That album is INSANE!
This channel is amazing, can you get ULU JOHN ROTH on here playing
I got a 1991 Jackson soloist with lightning Sky graphic on it with EMG 81sasa still plays as good as the day I got it back then I think it cost me about two grand now USA made Jackson's are like five and a half six not so crazy about the satin finish though my blue Frost pc1 is like that not really crazy about it being flat finished but it's a cool ax
I think when the dude suggested due to the name of the model, why’s it in the hands of a rhythm player based on the name alone, Mr Ian was very magnanimous and professional with his response, bravo 👏🏻 such a down to earth humble guy as has already been mentioned!!!!
The pig's head story is hilarious. Watching him try to put the experience into words was priceless.
dan spitz is the synyster gates of anthrax he is the one who made them unique to begin with just like synester gates made avenged sevenfold, both were generic bands untill they brought in a unique lead guitarist hell even rocky george same for suicidal tendencies.
Laughed so hard.. like a pig's head.. like.. a fking head :DD:D
i have a bass the same color with the neon green strings its awesome under black light it glows in the dark
woah, what kind of bass is that? Jackson's?
The only thing stopping me from ever getting a Jackson Soloist is the dam middle pick-up. I cant play any guitars with a pick-up in the middle, because my pick hits the pick-up. I have to modify my strum in order to play one. For me, that's too much of a compromise. It sucks because it limits my choice of guitars! I have the same problem with some Ibanez RG series. This is why I like Explorers and flying V's.
This is just a commentary so you choose whether you thi k it's relevant or not but you might want to alter your picking regardless even if it's a serious pain in the ass. If you're hitting the pickup it sounds like you're digging too deep and grabbing too much string. I was always taught and have been of the method of thinking that you should grab just enough string to get the tone you want. The more you grab the more it limits your overall speed and attack recovery which is really important for a genre like thrash. Just a suggestion you do you.
@@jackcoleman1784 Huh? Especially with Thrash, you gotta attack those strings! And there are Soloists that are just like other Fat Strat’s, two hum bucker’s.
But even if you’re playing some gnarly SRV on a Strat, with that middle pick-up, raised pretty high like the other two, you’re gonna catch a pick-up once in a while. Shoot you better hit it so hard you’re knocking the high E under the plastic top lip of a neck humbucker!!! That’s why Dime would put that black electrical tape on the side of the pick ups!!! Cool when I learned that trick-no more disappearing E string, ha ha.🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
I’m not sure how you play Thrash, sitting at home? Which is cool if you are just tinkering-for you. But if you are standing up hitting it hard, like the original commenter here, and like Scott Ian, you’re bound to hit that middle pick-up. Which, remember, might only have a millimeter or two of clearance between a string fretted at the 24th fret, and the top of a well-adjusted single coil. And even choking way up on a Jazz III, the tip will get under that string at least 2 mm.💯🤘🏻😝🎸🇺🇸
Lastly, avoiding the middle pickup, without changing your picking style, will just come naturally after a short time.
I totally understand you, because I have the same problem. I'm very sorry that that middle pickup bothers me, because it has a specific beautiful tone. On the other hand, such a set-up does not have the option of included bridge and neck position, which is also sad. I have a friend who installed an extra switch on his stratocaster to get the bridge and neck position on, and it sounds great. On the other hand, it is a musical instrument, and it is very ugly to spoil the originality. Today, there are many custom workshops that make instruments from scratch, and they can absolutely do everything to the customer's desire. Jackson guitars are absolutely iconic in the metal world and there is no doubt about that, the rest is just a matter of taste and individual needs.
i don’t recall all soloists having that setup but i always lower middle pickups all the way and there’s not always a volume drop though i don’t use a clean channel anyways
Hahaha but man you can have the Soloist with double humbucker too. Its the 2 model
What amps are behind him. The combos. Looks like the Evh iconic 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
The Shred guitars are awesome for playing Rythm. Not just for lead guitar. The Jackson pointy headstock is the all-time best ever headstock. Ray tossing piss jugs all over the trailer park LOL
Until you put it on a string swing and realize you have to turn the holder to make it sit straight
A mid-grade Floyd on a guitar that costs over $2500 is ridiculous. The ESP NII guitars are a much better bang per buck.
#JacksonIsJackson
Am I wrong in saying that Scott didn't really say anything notable about the guitar?
That's what the Jackson Brand does now... it's sells us a marketing pitch. Listen, they're really good guitars, they're just $1.3k overpriced! There's nothing on this version of the soloist
that warrants $2,600 USD. They're USA made. Really? A US production line guitar warrants that price tag?
@@nc1969 You are right, all my Jackson guitars I bought new from CA House were only 300 to 400 each, and a used like new warrior with EMG pick-ups for only 200 bucks. I'll tell you my friend, the cheaper Jackson guitars sound just as good without losing a ton of Dow in the prosses. expensive is not always better is what my father said 40 years ago, and he was right.
@@pantera89 - I have no issue spending $ on high end guitars if its worth it. These new soloists are offering nothing more than nostalgia. The Pro Series line gives you all the same features @ less than half the price!
@@nc1969 So true...\m/
" 忍耐" tattoo on Scott's arm . Fuckin written . Futhermore , Japanese written . ex Slayer's Tom has Japanese tattoo " 荒矢 " too . 😎" 忍耐" is " Patience " by English ☝. That is fuckin need for guitarist 🎸. Also for band . ……Scott is the best guitarist🎸 in bands . I guess so . " Scott Fuckin Rules 👍🏻!!! "………Scott 's guitar🎸-introduction , very awesome !!! and , also bout AC/DC's Young bros tattoo . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@2:14 Director to Scott "Can you describe the neck specs, i.e. shape, radius, fret size, fret material for the potential customers.....and Action...."The neck's even faster....... Definitely a faster neck"
yeah, they got the right guy to evaluate the specs for this one. he plays 2 strings and 4 chords.
I use ernie balls skinny top heavy bottoms for anything down to drop c. Below that I use mammoths. It works so I keep doing it. Like he said dont let the technical bs make it not fun anymore. Find what works and dont sweat the small stuff.
So what’s the difference from these USA made and the USA Select series?
The price...these are not cheap at all.
@@pantera89 Not talking about price.
USA select series Jacksons are made in the same factory as the "Custom Shop" models. The new USA made "production" models are assembled in the Fender Corona factory, probably with imported parts, hence why no OFR or any kind of binding on the neck or headstock
hmm...I wonder what he'd just eaten...I'd love to try the new Am Jacksons
not playing?
Did you folks catch him right after having corn on the cob? Poor Scott's fishing around his teeth and you're like, "TALK DAMNIT!" lol
That’s was 17 min waiting for him to play the damn thing 😅
*ESP has entered the chat*
18 minutos solamente de charla.....
The Jackson RR24 is more Scott's thing. 1 pickup/1 button. V Rhoads shaped.
11:25
No binding on the neck or headstock? Painted body? For $2600.00? How about NO!? This is a $500.00 guitar.
Easily, 400 to 500 would be my limit.
The Soloists do start at around $500.
You can get a Indonesian or Mexican made soloist, some of them already come with Seymour Duncan pick ups so you can approve the rest of the components on them and still be under $1000 with a better Guitar.
Na binding doesn’t equal quality, it’s all about how to tone snaps and how perfect the neck is.
Way too expensive.
Satin will leave shiny wear marks on it
Yes, my satin black Jackson has shiny spots all over it. Around the volume where my fingers rest below the bridge pickup, looks kind of funny. The back of the neck gets shiny and sticky.
I have a satin army green washburn and it has shiny spots on all the wear spots. it gives it character :P
@@jgmopar My white and black Rhoads does the same around the pickguard.
not sure if I like the inlays being round the other way ... and he pretty much didn't really even talk about the guitar after the first 3 minutes haha
I don't mind a Jackson, but this 1 is a Pile.
Have you played one?
I bet Darth Vader would pay an arm and a leg for it....\m/
Everyone got the wind in their pissflaps over the price, I mean it’s neck through, ebony fret board, high end tuners (ironically people moan when Ibanez don’t use locking tuners but when Jackson have they complain saying it doesn’t need it), the floyd is fine, Binding literally has no impact on a guitar. It’s the perfect guitar to cause an argument and literally the hate turned up from it having the Floyd 1500 in it and not an original and then everyone jumped in. Yes it’s expensive, yes there are cheaper guitars, if you don’t like it then buy something else 💁🏼♂️
My Caparison Horus build quality and playability is unreal and it was under 2k used in mint condition. I have a 1991 Jap. Jackson Fusion Dinky and that guitar is insanely comfortable and the build quality is there. I'm sure these play great but it's missing everything that Jackson is known for for that price it's listed. You are far better off picking up a Jackson DKMG, DXMG, DK2M, even the mid 2000's X series Soloist's are great workhorse guitars.
Why does this dude have a soloist?????
3gs. No stainless steel frets. No Original Floyd rose.
Nah.jpg
Seriously?? No OFR, no SS frets, no binding, no mother of pearl logo and 3gs? What a crock of shit! I would have a custom Kiesel built to my specs for that kind of money.
Not close to being worth 1500$. 1500 series Floyd I’m not a Floyd guy at least I know that.
They are really pushing the green one. it’s even $100 cheaper than the other colors. Honestly though the guitar is not worth the money. All that money for a US-made guitar with a Korean tremolo. they could have at least put a Gotoh 1996t, even steal it would be too expensive, even if it had a German Floyd Rose.
Crazy thing is, they’re making it sound like it’s some sort of a great deal. LMFAO!
"Playing in the 70's..." Bro does this guy even age?
For $2,500? No thanks. You can get a comparable instrument for $500-$600.
At least ESP is getting unique signature looks with great paint, handcraft for that price, some Jacksons (Especially Custom) is worth it at that price.
This guitar is overpriset.
I just never understood the popularity of Anthrax or Scott Ian’s playing. This is just my opinion, I realize they have a ton of devoted fans. But I always thought the Big 4 should be the Big 3. I don’t see Anthrax being anywhere near the level of Metallica, Slayer or Megadeth. They have no hits and their total record sales are far, far less than any of those other three bands. I’ve never met anyone who’s favorite band is Anthrax. I’ve listened to all their albums and actually my favorite is one with John Bush on vocals, Sound of White Noise. I think it’s the only record they have that has well structured, rawer, hooky songs, instead of the usual Anthrax song that sounds like six different songs in one
Same here. They always seemed a little less 'serious' to me, and as a teenager I wanted my metal to be serious! They were like the little brother who tags along with the older kids. Sound of White Noise was awesome though.
having "hits" in heavy metal is no attribute at all- anthrax once was my favorite band. your opinion is just your opinion.
@@imposantermrbubblebutt8197 that’s why I stated “this is just my opinion” SMFH
You mean crappy fender
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Completly overpriced. Unreal

Got a new jackson soloist. Not happy with it. Sweetwater sucks btw
Try CA House, they are the best for guitars and Jackson. \m/
@@pantera89 I have a large ca house close to me. Took lessons from a local master when I was 14. Got my first strat from there over 20 years ago.
Thank you my friend 🙌👍👊
I wasn't happy with the set up, they definitely didn't check anything. Sweetwater that is. My ca house has always been fantastic for me.
I have the Indonesian model. Definitely has sub par electronics. The switch doesn't work half the time. Was a total bummer for me. Feels great to play, it's comfortable and fast. Just poor quality control I think.
Why soloist... You aint played a solo in your life! ; )
I'm pretty sure it's the ugliest Jackson guitar ever.
Anthrax's Scott Ian Discusses the New Jackson: "and now its empty so they have something to pee in"
They sure ain't gonna give Scott a guitar that isn't perfect lol, while the ones being shipped out will need set ups,fret leveling etc ,pro Jackson are fuckin horrible from factory
This isn’t a PRO.
Over priced junk like Chapman guitars .
Jackson’s so played out .i sold all mine and I have modern squires that play better.
Wow, that's a little high for a ugly paint job. Why did Jackson put locking tuners on this guitar? Have an old Charvel that's way better than this over priced garbage..
"No binding oh noo" "korean floyd oh no" things that have nothing to do with quality. Do you guys also believe in flat earth? You can get these new for 1200 if you dinf yhe right dealer.
The green color sucks
ehh he's a chump. Cannot stand him.
I agree, he comes across as arrogant and annoying. Overrated guitarist, very repetitive.
I hate how south america sings guitar riffs. Don’t do that
