A Dean ML case should fit that guitar.

I am planning to buy one.

Cool demo Vinny...I have two RnRR's and trying to figure out what my next one will be (just put up my Revenge demo on my channel!) A Thunders is definitely in the running.

Why was the Floyd more popular? Edward Van Halen. Full stop. BUT - the Kahler's are better. Also - the big peghead isn't a bug, it's a feature.

I think the Kahler didn't take off in the 80's due to the quality (lack of) the early models. I have a 1984 Gibson Flying V from the Designer Series with a factory installed Kahler tremolo and locking nut. You really can't use the tremolo at all since it will put all the strings out of tune. This after I replaced the springs, etc.. It just does not work the way it should. Beyond that, I'm sure they have made improvements to the design over the years and I would take a chance on a newer model. I too like V's with Floyds. Dean have some quality instruments. I worked with them years ago on some promotional guitars and they were super-high quality Dean USA Explorer-type (Dean Z's). Fantastic instruments!

Kahler has been my favorite since 83

Sick V ! Love the red with white Binding . Also check out Coffin Case , they should have one to fit .

What a great video to have pop up on my algorithm!

Sick guitar

I've had a Mod84 for a couple of years now and it's the best sounding amp I've ever plugged into. The stock reverb is outstanding! I run mine through a Fryette Power Station to attenuate it down to bedroom levels. The attenuator allows you to get much better overdriven tones using compressors, boosts, and overdrive pedals. Love the video and your playing is great!

How do you like it now? I’ve always wanted one of those. I’m 54 now haha But still would like to own one

Good choice. Gibsons are crap since they started to pay their lawyers better than their luthiers.

Everyone tries to compare these single coils to a Stratocaster and that’s not at all what the original intent was supposed to be. When you flip the switch it kills one coil and adds 1500 turns to the other coil. It’s supposed to be a single coil sound but no one said it was supposed to sound like a Stratocaster. As for what it is supposed to do - it does well! It gives you a true single coil sound probably more in the area of a P90.

Love that color! Reminds me of a red velvet cake....now I'm hungry for red velvet cake.....

The guitar looks great and all. The company though aaahhh, I dunno. Not much faith in them after the Dimebag thing.

Beautiful guitar!!!! 😍 😊 I like that it has a Kahler whammy instead of a Floyd Rose!!! I'm still glad that Dean is still around!!!

Awesome looking V and rocking the beard too great to see you back

Welcome back to UA-cam , that is a beautiful guitar. Sounds awesome. Another great Vinny the Axe video🎸

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!

Another Great video review. Bad ass looking guitar ,I love the color. It looks longer than Gibson scale that was a big surprise.

Nice V. During the first few seconds of this video I thought a bearded dude had hijacked your channel

I always like a glossy finish however..... that red is cool in matte finish. I was enjoying the intro tune and was playing along on the bass. Rock'n'Roll!!!!

Rockin' the V and rockin' new beard to boot.

Nice guitar!!!

Cool axe, Vinny! I’m usually not into “V’s”, but this one is different enough to catch my attention. Sounds awesome.. like the opening jam. Cool beard

I don't blame you. I've been switching to low and medium output PAF pickups in my guitars lately. With modern amps and pedals, I don't really see the need for hot pickups anymore. And I absolutely do not sweat pickup spacing.

I have the big and the smal one. Try the Rodenberg Gas 808 ng or the sl-od infront.

That cocked wah tone of the JB that made me stay away from it…. I had them briefly on my Ibanez, and I took it off immediately….

Great video! I have been really loving Alnico 2 humbuckers in my strat style guitars lately. An interesting note on the Duncan Holdsworth Pickup, the current one, as sold from the custom shop, the 17k version is not what Allan ever used. His pickups were basically a Duncan 59 but both coils had screws, no slug coil and a DC resistance of around 8k-ish. David Phillips @RACKDOCTOR from L.A. Sound Design has great info on this, he has an 8.5k Duncan Holdsworth pickup in a guitar he demos on his channel. No one seems to know why they sell a 17k version, that i have seen.

Vinny, appreciate the video. I had my lutheir install a duncan distortion with my HSS. Probably already a poor fit but i too had distortion at low volumes and it sounded nothing like the clean tone on the Duncan website. I was insistent eith my luthier (to the point i think i rubbed him the wrong way), but you mentioning what sounds like similar symptoms still has me questioning things. You mentioned the wiring diagram was backwards - are you saying the JB wiring diagram on the duncan website is backwards? I just dropped off the 78' today to the luthier and sending the Duncan Distortion back to amazon. If the 78' sounds like trash, then my guess will be out of phase

Glad to hear this. Have a sterling Cutlass ct50+ which is HSS. Started with the duncan distortion but the difference in output is so extreme that i couldn't get it dialed in right. Swapping for a 78 - literally dropped off at the luthier this afternoon - and it seems I made the right choice.

Im thinking about switching out the duncan distortions in my Jackson SL2Q. We just dont play that much metal in the bar gigs, and Im not really a fan of them anyway. Too dark sounding and subpar articulation. My Jackson is a mahogany body, maple neck through with ebony fretboard and thin quilted maple cap, Winterstorm is the color. 25.5 scale, floyd 1000, 1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way toggle. I love the guitar, but hate the factory duncans.

Simple Answer: NO

No, you made a damn good choice...

setting please!

These amps really hate overdrive or distortion pedals but LOVE boosters. Try a clean boost in front of it like the TC Electronic Spark and it sounds even better !

Did you sell the Magnatone?

How would this compare with the Knaggs? If you had to pick one?

Love the tone you are getting great looking guitar

I have been getting into Magnatones and I love it! Thank you for the wonderful video!!! ❤

Who is here after seeing Aaron Rash’s video???

sounding great! subbed

I’m sold on this one, was looking for a 100w, but would be too much for home practice and recording. This sounds amazing 👍

That sounds glorious...

Just bought a 2024 US Paul’s in Black Gold. But I was hunting for one. I went from “one of each” AKA a tele, a strat, a Les Paul. A LP Jr, a Ric, a Hollowbody, a Jazzmaster to buying a Core Limited PRS 594 in 2019 and selling everything in search of more PRS. I really think Paul is in his “Golden Era” like Gibson was in the late 50s. Now I have three US PRS - a SC594, a Silver Sky and a Paul’s. Along with an HSS Strat from HS and an Electric XII, I’m all set.

I played one today in a guitar shop a shit that is a beast I'm going to get one soon

Does jublee have 70w cab as well ??

Just bought one in vintage cherry, but for other Knaggs fans, there is one EXACTLY like this one on Sweetwater's used gear site.

I've NEVER got along with the JB. So many of my favorite guitar tones are recorded with it (Jake E Lee, Dave Mustaine .etc), in fact It sounds great on a record but I've just never liked it. It's too hot for PAF style/classic tones and it has all these weird EQ Spikes at around 1-2.5k that just make it unpleasent for metal tones imo. Not to mention that flubby low end that makes palm mutes sound kinda lifeless. Again a lot of people have made great sounding tones on it, I just don't like the way it sounds when I plug into an amp and play. It's never worked for me. The Dimarzio Illuminator is a much better all around pickup imo, but it's all down to taste. How do you like the way it feels when you strike a chord and palm mute. That's where the JB fails me. Yeah it sounds good in a mix but I just don't like it when I'm playing by myself. The thing i really hate about the JB is people act like it's the end all be all of pickups, just buy one of those and throw it in there and forget about it. Screw that, try as many pickups as you can until you find the one that makes you want to pick up your guitar and play.

Yes definitely!!!🤘
