Jessica is a refreshing Slash signature by Gibson for true GunsNRoses and Velvet Revolver fans 🔫🌹🌹
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 месяца назад
DISCLAIMER: This guitar was given to me by a friend for a review. The latest Slash signature is more of a variety instead of a groundbreaking new guitar. The original Jessica has been in his posession ever since the late 80s and has played a major role in Guns’n’Roses and Velvet Reveolver history. In my video I will try and give you a couple of different perspectives on why you should or should...

The 2023 Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom is a seriously cool looking signature guitar for the lead guitarist/singer of Megadeth. It combines a modernised Flying V body and the explorer headstock for a seriously cool look finished in metallic black. It is not cheap and has some pros/cons that I go trough in this video.

@@rpa83 Yessss
both sound like crap
How/where do you buy these guitars from him?
@@billallengo Contact him on the website.
So in other words, the LTD is the scrap pieces of wood left from making the ESP version.
I wouldn't say so :/
What an amazing video truly one of a kind reviewer
@@albanianmusician7242 Thank youuu 🖤
I bought the ltd version used several years ago for $550 including case. Now theyre going for like $950 used on reverb
@@tatewilson7678 You are talking abou the white iron cross. I got two other videos for it ;)
@@GeorgeVGuitars yes I was watching the comparison between the ESP and LTD and had this video in the queue. Guess I wasn't quick enough to write the comment before the video was over and switched to this one lol
01:27🤘🤣🤘😂🤘🤣🎸🎶🔥 I buy it today & this is the best video for this electric guitar. Congrats for your channel & thanks for the information.
@@herbervalencia3401 Good choice! Did u buy the black or pink? 👀
@@GeorgeVGuitars it looks like this black one & I'm sure is original thanks to your excellent information. Do you still have this metal kitty machine?🎸💯🤘
@@herbervalencia3401 My ex wife still has it in perfect condition. :>
Should never buy any guitar brand new. Could get an e2 used cheaper than this new
Gorgeous... I do have to say the tulip style tuning keys compliment the Gibson headstock much better. But who pays attention to detail...right? Lol
MONTH OF MACABRE STORY
Gibson Les Paul Classic have a two piece of Mahogany in body, come on Gibson a lot of money for this?! I can1t pay sorry!! But is a good reviews and a good mod, congratz!!!
Almost everyone who owns a les Paul and a similar looking latch 😂
Nice Guitar you have there, George, One of the one James Hetfield has, Look gorgeous .
To be honest and constructive, after hearing and watching you playing the guitar, you don’t need an expensive guitar at all.
Thаnk you for your input. I bought 8 of them anyway <3
Just admit it. You don't like Les Paul's. Maybe ibanez is more to your taste. I love mine. Pickups and all.
@@11000038 Yeah I don't like the 6 Les Pauls I curently own and the 30 I used to own. Check the channel, man 🤣
I’ve got one on the way.
@@MrJoeTC Good choice 🤘🏻
Love the 3 piece maple top. Looks so cool.
50’s style wiring with orange drop capacitors
But its modern wiring
Is this Fishman pikups are passive or active? Thank you
@@fabioduarteribeiro2348 Active
Literally bought one last night and I’m super stoked about it! Been binge watching videos about it!
I play all of it, and a baritone 6
Stainless steel frets are superior
@@EntertheDragonChild Meeeh, If u have 1 guitar and play it non stop. Otherwise I don't care.
These Gibons should be compaired with the Korean and Japanese LP's
In terms of the Epiphone LP, will need to be upgraded and refined. My thoughts, I'll choose Epi before a Gibson as my Epi's are seriously upgraded.
@@geoffreygreggorey6203 Cant upgrade the wood :/
I would have to wonder if Korean and Japanese guitar building would have the same standard as Gibson. Early 90's
@@geoffreygreggorey6203 I doubt it. Deffinetely better than China but nowhere near the Nashvile Custom Shop.
I have 7 or so Epiphones (Korean) and most have been converted with Gibson USA parts. Black beauty 3 pups. White one florentine Epi, as well as others. All of my headstocks are all gibson open book with gibson truss rod cover with double binding.
Nice
I had one and it sounded terrible, so I ended up selling it. I got a 2021 Epiphone Les Paul Custom and slapped some EMG ZW Pickup set in it. The guitar sounds amazing and way better than the Prophecy model.
i stain my light fretboards with acid and metal. i make a solution with acid household or vinegar and a a metal mesh. let it sit for 1 week and rub it on. it penetrates 1 mm and doesnt come off unlike a stain. it is deep black and you can sand it back if you dont like it
Wrong .. the lpj les paul is the entry level.
@@MikeBall-sz2jf Show me the LPJ in Gibson's current line up ;) It has been gone for a while now ;)
Ok just to spread the word, since no one on YT has mentioned them. But schaller makes classic models, which are the new buttons but with a Hole for the screws, so you dont have to change screw
Like ' 140 ✔️ .
Can I be your ex girlfriend pls?
@@_stokrota 🤣🤣🤣
I neet the gibson
My son bought me the Black.I bought him the white.Both arecm great.
Pre-Gibson Epiphone's had a great sound... and they never got it back after the merger.
This like comparing a V6 to a V8 Dodge Challenger They both look exactly the same, but one sounds and drives a lot faster
@@watchtonystube Mmmmm actually depends which V8, because i had a V6 GT and a V8 R/T. The R/T was not that mich faster. Now the Hellcat I had for a while is a different story 🤣
@@GeorgeVGuitars well, these seem to both stock guitars. I do have a juiced up 2022 Alpine White Epi LP custom with a Stew Mac gold LP wire kit, push/pull pots, orange drops, gold/gold Super Distortion, white/gold PAF Steve Morse So I guess that’d be a super charged / tuned up V6
I’ll keep my appetite burst over anything epiphone
🤘🏻
Beautiful🩵💜👍🏾
🤘🏻
Hey man I’m only 15 and I’m really inspired by metallicas music and I only really play metal, I’ve been eying out this guitar for a week now and I’m just wondering if you think I should get this, explorers are also my favourite guitars and £500 is a lot of money for me so I’m cautious I don’t want to waste my money thanks
@@MerlinModels. Go for it 🤘🏻
@@GeorgeVGuitars thank you bro! I’m so happy I’ve finally found an affordable explorer
What's the difference between the $1300 and the $800 one?
Hi, do you know if it's possible to replace those LTD locking tuners with the Sprezel ones, like on the ESP versions? Would Sprezel fit without a need for making a new holes? Thanks
@@cili753 Of course it is possible, watch my ESP vs LTD Snakebyte video. The 2011 Snakebyte LtD has Sperzels.
@@GeorgeVGuitars Yeah, watched that video. But couldn't tell if it's needed to make a brand new holes for Sprezel tuners or they would fit straight away into old holes from LTD locking tuners thou...
@@cili753 The sperzels make their own holes, the pins are under the tuner body.
@@GeorgeVGuitars Oh, ok, I see. So definitely needs a new holes for Sperzels. Thanks!
@@cili753 As I said, the sperzels will make their own holes when you screw them on. You dont need to do anything or drill anything.
Dang. that's crazy. Remove. Is that a Les Paul Classic behind you George?
I know a bloke with those two. I was giving his epiphone a good thrashing on his 800 . I was already in delight. Unexpectedly he handed me the Gibson to swap. They were 57 custom ebony cred for extremely well. I didn't bother looking at it just continue on playing the best solo in the whole wide world. Within seconds the frets under the strings,,,, smooth silky,, fukn tripping. Seconds to minutes id been all over it bent the fuck out of every string almost everywhere then I knew 100% that comparing the epiphone to the Gibson was like chalk and cheese, sugar and shit, Britney or Oprah with out doubt the Gibson fretboard is far superior than anything I'd played before and since. I didn't notice anything else about em. I was high before I played them only to get a real high from playing the Gibson thru 800. It was 50watta too so it was fukn hot alright. The kinda hot that if some fuckwit spills a beer or a bong in the 800 it'll just vapourise and keep playing hotter than your idea of hot as fuck. . I've seen that before. I definitely know epi's phoneys extremely well. I have 5 of them. I don't want one of them until I had 1 . Then that's it isn't it? All other guitars are shit compared to an archtop Les Paul. Except stratocasters of course. Like strats are better than any other fender. Everything else sounds sounds like plastic shit. All of emm not other gibsons and fenders they're ok. But yeah all those brands are crazy crappy sounding no matter what you do to them. They're like little girly guitars for girls and girly boys. You see it takes balls to tame strats and les paul on 10. Or 8 & 9. No feedback fear hear. If you haven't got a les paul yet get one. Or just keep dumping on the compression sustain distortion overdrive and those pissy fukn lame wah wah fukn wah crybaby pedals on what ever piece of shit guitar you already have thinking they're great but deep down you know like rest of us there's only two real guitars everything is fake . Even fake great is fake. If you made it this far you're not too fucked unless you actually have a les paul and you don't like it? In that case stay home with yourself and that other massive bunch of butholes that only play strats or fenders. What's better than a sweet stratocaster? A stratocaster with a rose wood fretboard? Or maybe a archtop super strat. Like Michael Batio has.
Wow same as my guitar. Mine is signed by gates himself
Niiice
Hi George, can you please tell me whether epiphone slash les paul has 18 or 24 splines pots as per that I can change the knobs
Hi George, can you please tell me whether epiphone slash les paul has 18 or 24 splines pots as per that I will order replacement knobs
@@rohitroy978 The gibson knobs should fit
@@GeorgeVGuitars I am checking in ebay for non-branded options and they have two options, 24 or 18 splines.
Nice comparison! Eliminating the price point, I still prefer Gibson's crunch and high gain, something "more" with the Gibson, maybe the word "full" you described? and I'm wondering how Tokai would sound when using the Gibson's pickup, BTW the 23:54 lifting style is kick ass!
@@ajhwb Thank you 🤘🏻 I guess they will sound pretty similar when recorded. There will be subtle differences felt only in the room.
Something is going on with the fretjob on the 21 and 22nd frets under the low e string. Looks odd id have taken it back and told him to make those fret ends look like the others. You can clearly see they dont match the other fret ends on the bass side of the fret board at 6:07 in the video and again at 10:47. If that was the "new fret job", i wouldnt have given a dime for that work till it was fixed.
@@sinistar426 Its fine ;)
Ayee THE HIVES. Dope guitar. Scored one just now!
Bought my used 2018 prophecy plus last year in brand new condition for 300 bucks. I converted the stock 9 volt system over to 18 volts, it is a very easy modification to do and gives the guitar a noticeable punch to the tone. The prophecy is an amazing guitar and rivals the quality and sound of a gibson or fender costing twice as much. Really love it!
