My favorite is the one Chris Holmes from WASP played on the live at the Lyceum concert video. That thing was so ugly it was beautiful. And I wanted it badly.
Chris Holmes was a badass user for sure! Love the shape! Kramer has a Tracii Guns model too...
Man, best X-shaped guitar is the Akira Takasaki's KILLER signature, hands down!
Loved the video
Absolutely!!
There's also the model from Anchang of the band Sex Machineguns, although it's more pointy. Also Syu from Galneryus, slightly different shape
I thought George lynch had one but they’re not popular because they stick out so much getting in the way and you need special straps to prevent some of the tilting also not everyone wants to show off by having such a big shape I regret getting a custom one but the luthier patrick boylan is a great builder
12:24 deja vu! I've just been in this place before!
The Kelly Star is my all time fav, but I do also really love the Xiphos and the Stealth as well. I also have plans on my PC for a ESP Arrow/EX star, like what Jackson did for the Kelly Star, just with ESP shapes.
In terms of Star Guitars, I gotta go with Akira Takasaki's Random Star from ESP
This guys wood working skills makes me confident in mine 🤣
Guitar looks sick and done well... Love the kill switch!
It would be a dream come true to have a star 5 string bass. Particularly the Ibanez xiphos. I still fxcks with necrophagist 🎸⭐️💯
That guitar redefines the term 'Superstar' with all the fantastic upgrades and care you put into it. You convinced me that the Gotoh bridge is also a great substitute without having to go to FU-Tone for new springs and a brass block. The single humbucker configuration is just great for metal, I'm a huge fan of that. Superb work, once again!
Your work is amazing !! Great work! I love what you do. Thanks for all your videos
My Carvin V220 1985 with Kahler
My favorite star guitar shape is the Guild X-82 Nova. The proportions are perfect. And I love the binding as well as the colors it was offered in.
On a side note, Warmoth offers a star shaped body that you can spec out how you want.
The news segment is my favorite thing you have done. Please keep that going. It was funny and entertaining.
I have several dean ML's and dimebags..but my fav is the stealth dimeslime..it's very comfortable sitting and standing plus it sounds heavy AF!
I have had my Dean MLX for about 8 years now after upgrading it has not failed
Wow that’s really nice. The camp green and black splatter is fantastic. Great job.
Got 2 Xiphos (2003 - 2007 respectively) one of them is fully customized. Love them!
that thing looks killer. and i love the les halen in the background.
Yup these guitars are my favorite, I love the pointy ones.
Was actually playing on my Charvel Desolation Star while watching this.
I love it, and I find the stock pickup surprisingly good.
I also have a Roope Latvala signature LTD, wich is a prettier more hi end guitar,
but I prefer the neck shape on the Charvel.
The Charvel Star is my fave Star shape, but I also have a soft spot for the B.C.Rich Iron Bird,
and of course the Jackson Warrior.
Good for you, dude. You're making a living doing what you love. I'm jealous as hell. Keep up the good work 🤘
the star is one of those shapes I am obsessed with. probably why I love the Jackson Warrior and the Ibanez Xiphos body shapes. Another one I love is the B.C. Rich Ironbird.
Favorite star guitar player, Glen Tipton and his “Painkiller” Hamer.
Along the lava Kelly, THIS is your best make, in my taste. CONGRATS, what a good taste !! Which creature would have black blood ?
That Star still looks like a Flight V that went under the toothsaw on the other side in a foggy environment. Namastè. 🗨🤣💫
Sweet dude. I just found your channel. I've been working on getting the same thing off the ground. I love fixing old, beat up guitars. The Star "X" is my favorite body shape, too! My favorite is the Dean Phantom X. Long live the Dime \m/
Change the saddle inserts and block on the Floyd. Get the replacements from F U tone. Change the pick up and replace with the Seymour duncan invader. Replace the pot with a Bourns low friction pot. Cut the lower horn for better access to upper frets. Change the neck. Replace with a DKMG 24 fret neck. I have a shark and replaced the pick ups with Jalen puck ups with clear bobbins. On other Stars that I have, paint was important. As for painting. 92 Nissan purplish blue and 92 Mitsubishi figi blue. No paint in pick up cavity, control cavity, or where the foyd goes. I have done two custom B C Rich guitars. Warlock and a Ironbird. Make your decisions count. And do not look back!
David Davidson should make the list his playing is unreal and his Jackson sig warrior is a beast of a guitar, great build loving the star shapes.
I wish they made a 6 string version of his sigs
Mk1 ironbird, Kramer Voyager, and Jackson Kelly star are all lethal
Awesome video, Mark! I also agree that the 1996t is by far the best double-locking tremolo in the game. I've installed three of them on my guitars now and I will never go with any other Floyd Rose system if I'm doing an upgrade
That guitar is a true battle axe! 🤘💚🎵
OMG! Nice work!
I own a Jackson Warrior and LOVE it!
My favorite star, was a pawn shoppe find when I was maybe 15, a Japanese Tokia
My Favorite is the Kramer Tracii Guns Gunstar Voyager Outfit - Black Metallic and Silver Ghost Flames
Kane Roberts (former Alice Cooper guitarist) played my fav star. Black Kramer with silver faded in the center (think thats how to describe it). A buggy of mine had it in JR High.
Roope Latvala RS-II is my dream guitar with that reverse headstock i mean look at it 15:14
You inspire me bud... thanks for that!!!
Sick!!!!!! love this one!
BCRich Stealth is my personal favorite second being Warlock and IRONBIRD.
Hell yeah ide buy a star guitar its pointy enough and weapon enough looking
Another great job!
I saw George Lynch playing a Star Guitar at the Starwood around 1977-78
Him and EVH were the originals of the body shape.
Lita ford is another one and so was saint's rhythm guitarist he played a star guitar as well 😊
The world needs more olive green guitars. If I ever had a signature guitar it’d be a dark olive matte super strat.
Looks real good man
The Desolation series was definitely a killer run!
Nice build mark!
Kramer had a Star. Mick Mars actually played one.
All of those are pretty much based on Explorers.
My favorite and still want to own. The dean Dime from hell.
I'm still curious as to how can I get a Kelly Star body myself :)
yet another awesome rebuild! keep it up, i love watching your videos!
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the Ibanez DT series that they had in the mid 80's . Was only made for I believe about a few years( (85-87 ?). Had one back in the day. It's pretty much exactly like the guitar you're doing right now . Came equipped with Seymour Duncan pickups and a Kahler flyer bridge.
Kane Roberts of Alice Cooper played a star guitar. Love the Chris Holmes hacked up yellow one too!
i love star guitars i have a jeff loomis schecter cygnus and its one of the nicest playing guitars i have!! im also on the hut for an old ESP LDS Gus G star!!
I own an ML and I have to say it's the best guitar ever
Cool guitar. Only thing I’d change would be a reverse headstock.
First star guitar I saw was when Roope Latvala was still in COB and got a signature guitar from ESP. It was fuckin awesome it had a single bridge pick up, white body, cross inlays and it was an ESP.
The Ironbird is the best guitar shape of all time. You're all wrong.
Yes
I had a Star (ESP type RS) which was really nice.
But I still have my 80s BCRich Ironbird, and thát is sharp enough to shave with.... Absolutely iconic 🤘🤘
Nah. The kelly is.
To me it's the single cut and explorer shape your all wrong 😂 lol
I'm on your side except for my Kelly's.
Love star guitar shape have to make my own
Roope Latvala’s star is the greatest star guitar ever created
Nice build!!! Love it as always
I’m building a VH78 guitar. After this I’ll be building a ESP Random Star like Akira from Loudness played in the mid 80s the red one with the Dan Elctro style neck. Your channel is great.
Love the channel!!! Amazing work!
Hey Mark,what is that Double cut in the beginning of this video.Its black with a red border...I love it!!!but didn't see the headstock.
Thanks man!!!
good idea to have multiple paint samples, even for the future
I would probably go Ibanez Ziphos in that last match-up, but I'm apalled that my favorite star shape has yet to be talked about, that is the ESP / LTD AX-50. Looks like they went after the Warlock on that design but I actually prefer it as it has a more futuristic and streamlined look.
That’s one awsome guitar Tim’s luky
Another awesome job brother 🤘💪⚡️
Personal favorite star shape is still ESP made Latvala signatures.
Looks great! Such a great guitar 🤘🤘🤘
Very nice
Awesome guitar! Loves how it turned out, btw i was curious, whats that ssh¿ frankenstrat guitar that was behind you, looked at your previous videos but couldnt find it
21:11 Number 6 The Gotoh is more comfy on the hand when muting
I'm a gus g fan and have several of his Jackson sig
show
That is badass
The dean ml trumps all even the razor back wich is a awsome thing
My favourites are the Beast and the Ironbird from BC Rich
Shoutout to Mick Thomson of Slipknot for turning me onto the Warlock. Also honorable mention to the ESP/LTD AX shape. A cool take on the Warlock shape
Star guitars look cool, though as a practical kinda guy, the form over function mindset bugs me. I appreciate how S style Superstrats (the Dinky shape particularly, given it takes the form following function standard that is a Strat and makes it ever so slightly smaller, just a tad more aggressive and with better upper fret access, without either sticking too much with the original as in the San Dimas, or going too pointy and aggressive-looking as in the RG).
This to say: apart from BC Rich’s iterations that, shall we say… take an acquired taste, I appreciate these pointy, flashier body styles, though I can’t really see myself rocking one. As with the Kelly Star, this one looks awesome after the GuitarGuts treatment, though!
Akira Takasaki's ESP Star, or rather any star guitar with the Danelectro style headstock.
My fav star shape is Esp/Ltd Gus 600
Esp ltd RL 600
I bitterly regret putting my 1994 B C Rich Warlock in the bin fifteen years ago. It had the worst floyd rose imaginable and shit pickups. It was impossible to get good intonation. However it was the guitar I played gigs with as a kid! The sad thing is UA-cam has taught me how to sort all the issues with that guitar out now. :-(
love star guitars and wamt one. Nut noone makes them other than Jackson... and not a fan of the latest look of those gus g models. Would love an "old" LTD RL-600
Hey I'm a huge Metallica and I'm having trouble picking a jackson dimeslime or a gibson faded flying v. Also love the videos keep it up
i love your work, but im always wondering with these types, why you don't paint the whole neck?
I would've included the Jackson Rob Cavestany Death Angel in the poll. Kind of a Warlock/Star hybrid.
For me, the dean ml is the greatest star type out there. Dimebag all the way
Where did you get that charvel decal that wasn't a waterslide?
It's all about spirit what ever works for you theres no wrong guitar
I feel like Warrior and Xiphos should be pitted against each other.
And the Sammy Duet model owns all of these idgaf what anyone says about it.
Jackson warrior hands down.
What about the Peavey Mantis??? I own one so it's my favorite Star Guitar.
I think you should try making a camo pattern with splatter
My favourite star is the razor back
I have a Charvel star how much would you charge me too put a Randy rhoads polka dot paint job on it
I have a 85 Ibanez xv500 guitar in violet burst, needs some love
The traditional star probably isn't pointy enough for a lot of people.
I think that Eddie ended up borrowing Chris Holmes Ibanez for recording after he found out about that loss of tone.
