      I do as much of my own guitar work as i can so i know its set up exactly how i want it. I've been so disappointed everytime i paid a professional to set my guitar up. Their idea of playing great can be completely different than what you prefer. My dad used to take his guitar back into his tech several times until he got it just right. And that tech said he liked working on my dads gear because he had to try harder to nail a certain feel, when most customers had no clue and took it home first time happily.

    • @youztuber5000
      @youztuber5000 11 місяців тому +6

      @@NinjaRunningWild Scallops are overrated, but if I were to scallop a fretboard I would practice it on a cheap guitar before digging into something I'd actually play. Even Yngwie recommends this in his old instructional vid. Yngwie scalloped his own when he was starting out. Seems like these days people are afraid to work on guitars and experiment... Hell, EVH was not only crazy enough to fully customize his guitars, but also screw around with amplifier electronics, which isn't a safe thing to do...

      with Knight back in the band, i suspect that the possible new record will have a bit of older BDM writing mixed in with the (really solid) newer stuff.

    Super rad collection. I love that Brandon unapologetically is this into the shred guitars. Although I own four or five total “blues lawyer” guitars and love them, my heart is with 80s inspired shred guitars and I feel they don’t get enough love these days. Glad to see someone nerding out this hard on these guitars for a change versus a bunch of djent or vintage guitars.

I don't know a lot about Jackson guitars, but I do have a Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX on my wish list, with through neck design and so many nice parts it will make a nice addition to my tiny collection. great to see someone so passionate about guitars!

    WOW, what an incredible collection! I had my 1992 Jackson USA Soloist stolen out of my home several years ago. I absolutely LOVED that guitar. No matter how aggressively I played that guitar it just always played like silk, so it truly helped me take my playing to a whole other level. I had saved for years to afford that guitar, and unfortunately because of the cost, I was never able to replace it. All these years later I'm still heartbroken over losing it. They took my Jackson, my 50W Marshall JCM800 head, my TV and my stereo. The only thing they left of my gear was my Marshal slant front cabinet, which I subsequently sold in order to purchase a cheap guitar and practice amp. I haven't been in a band since. I still wake up some morning just crushed over losing the Jackson and the Marshall. The rest of the stuff I couldn't care less about, but to me those two pieces were irreplaceable. Of course life and kids took priority, so when they stole my stuff that day, I lost a huge chunk of who I was. Boo Hoo, right?
