You know there has been more than a few phallic themed/shaped guitars over the years as well. Frankly I feel as if one of those might far better befit the Brown-Toned Beauty. Hahaa. See what I did there? Ya get it? Ahh you will at eventually...
I worked at the Washburn custom shop in Chicago a few decades ago and we made a few N2's for Nuno Bettencourt. We made a few Slimebags and a Dimebolts for Dimebag Darrell too, red rockers for Sammy Hagar and then some.. We also made a V'd double neck for MAB, and since he lived on the far south side of town, he came in quite a few times to check on the progress. What a great guy. When we called and told him it will be done tomorrow, he showed up not 2 hours later all excited, and wanted to play it, but it wasn't setup yet. The action was way high on one neck and not much better on the other, and the intonation was way off too. I told him to give me an hour to set it up, but no, he insisted on playing it: Mind blown! 🤯 He shredded the F out of it as if it was just right! Then he sat by my side while I set it up and we told each other stories of weird and eccentric people we encountered in life! 😁
@@johnstrange6799 In the actual shop on Elston Ave, or "the corporate office" in the burbs? I didn't know anyone at corporate, only the shop. So who all? There was a pretty fast turnaround rate, but there were a few "Old timers" who had been there for decades. I wish I could remember names better. I recall people and their characters well, but never their freaking names. If you can name a few I may remember if I know them.
I was surprised that they thought it was expensive. I can't find it right now in a shop in Europe (was that a limited run?), but when it came out it was a bit under 2000 Euro. That is way less than I would have thought for a Gibson signature.
@@diatomicfawn1141 the Gibson homepage has it listed at 1999 Euros or something. But I can't find in actual online stores. Maybe they stopped exporting them. No idea. But I definitely remember seeing it for less than 2000 at, I think, Thomann when it came out.
The Dan Jacobs Kiesel you looked at was a very limited spec offered during the launch of the sig. It's supposed to look more like meat packing paper covered in blood - he used his hands to apply the finish. I don't expect that to make you love the guitar, but I think it's cool to have a signature guitar where the artist themselves had a personal touch. The usual Kiesel spec can be ordered with a proper blood splatter finish.
@Joel Moore yeah you right, the V would probably be the cheap one, the EX was legendary in the metalcore scene, as was Travis' gold Viper, which I've locked down, just about to pull the trigger on it.
I love these Tiers. It's very interesting that you can tell where someone is going to place a guitar after a pointy or guitar with fanned frets is initially placed. keep them coming!
I just love KDH's love of Kahler. I've lost interest in Kiesel because their prices have gone up so much but as someone who wore out Carvin catalogs as an 80s pre-teen I'd be the first to order up a V220 if I could get a Kahler on it.
An entire tier list of Zakk Wykde variations on a thing he lighted on to avoid looking like discount Randy in a photoshoot and then rode for approaching 40 years would be an interesting exercise.
Agreed. When I went shopping for a bass 10-12 years ago… The Getty Lee jazz bass was by far the best one I played. Bought it immediately and still love playing it.🎸👍🥃
J mascis Jazzmaster should have been up on here, I think. That's a signature guitar that even some pros have used. Though it's definitely a different genre of music than most of these are associated with
Agreed, it's a modern classic at this point. It's a shame they discontinued it. I have a feeling it was starting to affect Fender sales. Gotta maintain the Fender prestige...
The Dean signature Kerry King should have been named “The Earwig” because that’s what it looks like….. that said…..I would have really enjoyed seeing the Jackson Rhoads and something from Wylde Audio otherwise a-1! Job guys
Funny thing about jimi hendrix is that he actually hated fender guitars, so much to where he literally stole someone's guitar and forced them to take one of his fenders.
Only sig I own is the Scott Ian Jackson King V, and it speaks to me, aside from the mismatched black knobs with chrome hardware. The Jackson neck with a 24.75" scale length is a cool combo, I wish they had more Gibson-scale guitars
Just in defense of your villain Rick Beato ;) you should check out his video about his signature guitar. As far as I remember he was reluctant to create a signature model for him and only agreed to it when all his proceeds will be redirected to some charity. So that's basically a charity guitar.
Totally out of the loop, but is there some dark reason for not liking Rick Beato in general or is it some gag that has been going around (I think I only know of this channel because when watching Rick Beato - KDH popped up in suggestions)?
@@KDH if you're a dentist (or lawyer or doctor) buying an $11000 guitar for your dental practice, you probably don't want the bankruptcy trustee seeing that. Also, I know PRS guitars are polarizing but they're just not my cup of tea. Like all Blues Lawyers, I prefer Les Pauls.
@@KDH Fun story: One of my clients used to be a dental device maker. At least a quarter of my caseload was suing the shit out of dentists for nonpayment. They'd not infrequently wind up in bankruptcy court. That said, nice try but it's a classic case of commingling and probably won't get discharged through bankruptcy. A tropical fish tank is usually okay. But charging the corporate card for your trophy guitar isn't. Also, the credit card company will weigh in. Buying personal items with a corporate card is a violation of the cardmember agreement. So Donny Dentist is likely going to be personally liable for the $11,000. Which won't be fun to pay off, what with him having to change his name to Divorced Donny Dentist.
I can respect not liking Beato, of course. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.. but many books are available in PDF form? It’s a very common and convenient format!
Right? When Orianthi's guitar came up I figured "Yeah ok, if they're incorporating price then I can see an A or B" Then they pretty much say "Yeah it's probably amazing and it's beautiful but it's super expensive" So I was like "Ok so I'll say A?" and then suddenly "PUT IT IN D!" And I almost just closed the video lmao XD

Malmsteen was indeed the first to give his order for his signature but the claptons got released first. like a week earlier. But his documents went first so he was the first. There is a interview with the guys at the time at fender from last year telling this.
Love your videos. I used to watch Andertons but yours are way more entertaining. This series is brilliant. How about rating your subscribers guitars? Keep up the great content.
The Dan Jacobs guitar shape makes sense when you see him. He's only about 5 feet tall, so the regular size explorer shape looks absolutely massive on him
I've actually got an old Kerry King Signature V back when he was with B.C Rich knocking around here somewhere. Huge guitar, sounds dirty and looks even dirtier. I've not been impressed with his Dean guitars, but this old B.C Rich of his was a bit of a beast!
I would say if the inlays were a bit less of an “i am an a7x fanboy” feel. I would say it is in A, it was one of my first guitars i really wanted and tried it and loved it. But in the end i went more into death metal and left a7x behind kinda, so unless you are in a coverband, you cant really use it on stage without looking goofy.
@@l0rd_breeigo-sama954 i would rather have a signature guitar where it's representative who's it from, rather than having a bland looking one and having no idea it's even a signature model.
@@gergoretvari6373 very valid point. But would it not still be synyster gates’ guitar without the inlays? I like the rest of the design, but the inlays just scream it.
@@l0rd_breeigo-sama954 yeah i see what you mean. There is a Custom shop version where only the 12th fret has a single inlay and thats his new logo, not the deathbat. I agree btw, even if it doesnt have the inlay you can still tell that its his guitar.
The best Schecter I've ever played was the Chris Poland Poltergeist signature. Sucks that he dropped Schecter almost immediately and it was only produced for 1yr...a really sweet looking and sounding axe... for a Schecter
Im always amazed of how different our tier lists end up being so different (I mean. Making my own in my head while watching yours) haha some low tiers we completely agree
Rick Beato did not invent music, and there is no key of... B for Beato , just the regular key of B , even you two know that. He's an incredibly accomplished musician and educator , and he absolutely loves music , that's the thing that comes over strongest. If you listen to him talking about his favourite rock bands like Boston or Peter Frampton you can see his love of the music plus his encyclopedic knowledge. He's also a great guitar player. Have a try at playing the solos from Kid Charlemagne or Don't Take Me Alive, Rick is really , really good at those two. His channel is so popular because of those things , the experience, the knowledge , and the love of music. You will also notice how many top flight guitarists are happy to come on his show and talk about their playing and music , and guitars in general. And he does it with absolutely zero sneering or personal abuse . Ever. You don't have to be like this.
Malmsteen signature is S. Scallops, extra jumbo frets, signature pups, classic 70’s headstock and aesthetic but with the reinforced machine mount 4 screw neck plate, nitrocellulose finish, no load tone control, three-way pup selector, brass nut… There’s so many specs that actually justify it as a signature guitar. And if you’re going for THAT kind of playing, tone etc… nothing else will play and sound like it.
Strats and Superstrats all go to D or even E for me, don't care for them. The MusicMan Abasi goes riiiight down to F with Kerry King's V. Fugly things. The Larada and Snakebyte both belong in A! Always loved Synyster Gate's models, it would hit an A for me too. When you're used to the black/silver one the other color schemes he's had over the years look so good. Maybe not the purple/green one, but the rest are nice. If they ever make a hardtail version of the goldburst or silverburst ones I just might get one.
Well to be fair both of them are fairly young and Atreyu hasn't really done anything noteworthy in quite awhile. I'm pretty sure their last hyped up album release was Lead Sails and a Paper Anchor, which came out 16 years ago now.
Several years ago I got an LTD M-1000 SE, it looks like the Guthrie, also the Phil Collins and kinda the Dean MAB usa. It has become a hidden Gem, it does sort of look like an unfinished kit guitar but it has a very unusual D carved neck profile with very steep shoulders which i wasnt sure about but its very playable and the true value is that you can look all over the place and youll not see many if any of them being listed for sale used and they still list for $959 so i cant be the only one that really likes it and doesnt want to let it go. I do own a Custom Shop 2005 KH2, i didnt pay what its worth but also having an E-II M-II I can say that ESP is either the best makers or the original Floyd Roses make all the difference but both those guitars sound and play better then anything Ive ever played.
Young goons. Rick Beato is a legend. Definitely not taken seriously enough but he’s very wise, opinions are constructed with real and deep knowledge of music, and always asks the best possible question to his interviewees that in turn create the best answers. Don’t see why young goofballs would talk down on their much more experienced and knowledgeable elder.
KDH : Please include the Charvel "Hendrik Danhage Heavy Relic" which I own one. I never heard of him but when I saw it/played it I went home with it. The DiMarzio neck Pup quacks right up there with YJM's "Duck" Strat.
I think the Snakebyte should be higher on the list. It is the first variation on the explorer that I actually like. Not to pointy, still keeps some of that classic explorer vibe, but modernized just enough to make is relevant. If the ESP model wasn't so much damn money, I would own one. and IMO it has a little taken away, not added :)
Am I missing something, why do people hate Rick Beato? As far as I can tell he doesn't do or say anything crazy and doesn't strike me as a egomaniac. Yes he tries to make money...like most people...without breaking the law or doing anything outlandishly unethical. Like hate him if you want that's your prerogative but I like to have reasons for things especially if I'm going to talk bad about someone and I just don't see it in this instance. Also out of Dave Mustaine and Rick Beato.....
I'm going to guess they weren't out at the time of filming but it would be cool to see how the old and new Tim Henson and Scott lepaige signature AZs stand up against the other sigs
Yall should do a quickie Ibanez sig tier list, you've got Joe satriani, the polyphia boys, Yvette young (🥳), ichika, Nita Strauss, Mario chon guy, Paul Gilbert, Paul Stanley, and mad other people I can't remember. Just a thought 🤙
Ok, luthier here. The only one I (might) disagree with is the Warlock. I loved that scene so much that I made a replica of it just so I could go trick or treating with it. I used a Spark Mini to amplify myself. Best Halloween in a long time. I fell in love with the guitar and I still play it often. I love how comfortable it is and how badass it looks. If I didn’t have the skill that I have, it’s the only one on the list I would actually spend money on. But that’s just me. Love your video and you guys have great taste. Keep up the good work!
My store had the Orianthi PRS, I played it, I'd put it in E tier tbh. Not because of the price, but because it doesn't feel any different than any other PRS
I kinda just clicked on this one because I was curious as to what the hell Mia Khalifa had to do with signature guitars, or just guitars as a subject in general... I was admittedly quite baffled for a bit there.
I was hoping to see if the Ibanez Iceman J. Yuenger signature would make an appearance. As i think its one of those forgotten signature. Good video KDH like button stomped :)
I played around with Angus Young's Gibson Signature SG unplugged once and it felt as perfect as a guitar could get. I only played it unplugged because I wanted to be dazzled or dissapointed by the craftsman ship and setup of that and several other guitars in the "gift shop area" of Gibson's Memphis factory
Had some I’d never seen before and some I wish I’d never seen lol. With that said, Japan models have the BEST signature guitars, particularly fender japan. Some suggestions to lookup (most of these I own lol): The Scandal guitars (particularly Haruna’s white and gold tele and Mami’s red strat, but scandal have 3 sig. series runs over the last decade), Suu (silent siren) tele, Zemaitis Flappy Pigeon (Kobato’s from bandmaid), Miyako (lovebites) dean v, ritchie kotzen tele, miyavi tele, Asuka tele, final fantasy strat *overpriced though, miku hatune esp *overpriced, Babymetal esp arrow…. Etc so many more
Glad to see the JEM777 on top! My favorite signature guitar, from a mostly aesthetic standpoint as I'm not much of a guitar player, is the .strandberg* Boden Masvidalien Cosmo.
You mentioned the PRS one breaking or scratching. While I don't own a super expensive PRS and I assumed the same thing, they're supposed to be super durable and almost impossible to scratch and I haven't seen a scratched PRS guitar so far.
You definitely get buckle rash and pick scratches on the PRS finishes. It's a bit harder to get deep scratches though. (But they do chip if you bang them on the coffee table! From experience.)
12:35 - What is your problem with Rick Beato? No, seriously - and no offense intended: what is your beef with him? I would really like to understand, so if you could clarify, that would be most enlightening. Because I just don't see it.
I own the original LTD release of the KH-503 and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played. The EMG-HZ pick ups are fine, especially cause I’m not huge into active pickups. And it weights the same as the tree they got the wood from for the body. But yeah that sticker ain’t great.
I have a '99 Japan made M-300 that came with HZ's. They sounded absolutely terrible, just super muddy and dead, trust me that guitar will sound twice as good with real pickups in it
This was hilarious (and tedious) to film 🤣 Here's to many more collabs

Mia’s signature is the double neck played in Tenacious D.
Very symbolic
You know there has been more than a few phallic themed/shaped guitars over the years as well. Frankly I feel as if one of those might far better befit the Brown-Toned Beauty.

I worked at the Washburn custom shop in Chicago a few decades ago and we made a few N2's for Nuno Bettencourt. We made a few Slimebags and a Dimebolts for Dimebag Darrell too, red rockers for Sammy Hagar and then some..

When we called and told him it will be done tomorrow, he showed up not 2 hours later all excited, and wanted to play it, but it wasn't setup yet.

I'd suggest Devin Townsend's Framus Stormbender, John Petrucci's EBMM Majesty, Joe Satriani's Chrome Boy and Paul Gilbert's Fireman
Rick Beato did not invent music, and there is no key of... B for Beato , just the regular key of B , even you two know that. He's an incredibly accomplished musician and educator , and he absolutely loves music , that's the thing that comes over strongest. If you listen to him talking about his favourite rock bands like Boston or Peter Frampton you can see his love of the music plus his encyclopedic knowledge. He's also a great guitar player. Have a try at playing the solos from Kid Charlemagne or Don't Take Me Alive, Rick is really , really good at those two. His channel is so popular because of those things , the experience, the knowledge , and the love of music.
You will also notice how many top flight guitarists are happy to come on his show and talk about their playing and music , and guitars in general.
And he does it with absolutely zero sneering or personal abuse . Ever.
You don't have to be like this.
Malmsteen signature is S. Scallops, extra jumbo frets, signature pups, classic 70’s headstock and aesthetic but with the reinforced machine mount 4 screw neck plate, nitrocellulose finish, no load tone control, three-way pup selector, brass nut…
There’s so many specs that actually justify it as a signature guitar. And if you’re going for THAT kind of playing, tone etc… nothing else will play and sound like it.
I won’t stand for the a7x Schecter slander… jk it’s one of my all time favorites tho
it's an amazing guitar. They definitely did it a disservice.
opinions can be a fertile ground for controversy. I love it too tho.
Strats and Superstrats all go to D or even E for me, don't care for them.
The MusicMan Abasi goes riiiight down to F with Kerry King's V. Fugly things.
The Larada and Snakebyte both belong in A!
Always loved Synyster Gate's models, it would hit an A for me too. When you're used to the black/silver one the other color schemes he's had over the years look so good. Maybe not the purple/green one, but the rest are nice. If they ever make a hardtail version of the goldburst or silverburst ones I just might get one.
Baffled that Atreyu is an unknown band to these guy 🤯
It is probably a unknown band to a lot of people.
I never heard anyone ever talk about them.
Well to be fair both of them are fairly young and Atreyu hasn't really done anything noteworthy in quite awhile. I'm pretty sure their last hyped up album release was Lead Sails and a Paper Anchor, which came out 16 years ago now.
@@countzero5150 wow, that makes me feel old af.
Who?
Several years ago I got an LTD M-1000 SE, it looks like the Guthrie, also the Phil Collins and kinda the Dean MAB usa. It has become a hidden Gem, it does sort of look like an unfinished kit guitar but it has a very unusual D carved neck profile with very steep shoulders which i wasnt sure about but its very playable and the true value is that you can look all over the place and youll not see many if any of them being listed for sale used and they still list for $959 so i cant be the only one that really likes it and doesnt want to let it go.
I do own a Custom Shop 2005 KH2, i didnt pay what its worth but also having an E-II M-II I can say that ESP is either the best makers or the original Floyd Roses make all the difference but both those guitars sound and play better then anything Ive ever played.
Young goons. Rick Beato is a legend. Definitely not taken seriously enough but he’s very wise, opinions are constructed with real and deep knowledge of music, and always asks the best possible question to his interviewees that in turn create the best answers. Don’t see why young goofballs would talk down on their much more experienced and knowledgeable elder.
Boomers go boom
KDH : Please include the Charvel "Hendrik Danhage Heavy Relic" which I own one. I never heard of him but when I saw it/played it I went home with it. The DiMarzio neck Pup quacks right up there with YJM's "Duck" Strat.
I think the Snakebyte should be higher on the list. It is the first variation on the explorer that I actually like. Not to pointy, still keeps some of that classic explorer vibe, but modernized just enough to make is relevant. If the ESP model wasn't so much damn money, I would own one. and IMO it has a little taken away, not added :)
Don't like Kellys?
@Panama Jack nah never have been crazy about the Kelly. Not sure why, but just never did it for me.
"HOW DARE YOU, HE INVENTED MUSIC" cracked me up!
KDH and 6STV collabs are always goated 👌🏾
Am I missing something, why do people hate Rick Beato? As far as I can tell he doesn't do or say anything crazy and doesn't strike me as a egomaniac. Yes he tries to make money...like most people...without breaking the law or doing anything outlandishly unethical. Like hate him if you want that's your prerogative but I like to have reasons for things especially if I'm going to talk bad about someone and I just don't see it in this instance. Also out of Dave Mustaine and Rick Beato.....
I'm going to guess they weren't out at the time of filming but it would be cool to see how the old and new Tim Henson and Scott lepaige signature AZs stand up against the other sigs
Finally a new video from KDH, I just love your content and your accent especially! Keep up the great work!
Judging by the thumbnail, I thought this was a collab with Mia Khalifa. And no, I've no idea who that is...
Yall should do a quickie Ibanez sig tier list, you've got Joe satriani, the polyphia boys, Yvette young (🥳), ichika, Nita Strauss, Mario chon guy, Paul Gilbert, Paul Stanley, and mad other people I can't remember. Just a thought 🤙
Ok, luthier here. The only one I (might) disagree with is the Warlock.
I loved that scene so much that I made a replica of it just so I could go trick or treating with it. I used a Spark Mini to amplify myself. Best Halloween in a long time.
I fell in love with the guitar and I still play it often. I love how comfortable it is and how badass it looks.
If I didn’t have the skill that I have, it’s the only one on the list I would actually spend money on.
But that’s just me. Love your video and you guys have great taste. Keep up the good work!
10:55 I audibly let outta laugh when you did that, good shit😂😂😂
ngl that Ormsby reminds me of original CoD MW2 so much, that shits insane
@KDH holy shit i just noticed the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
My store had the Orianthi PRS, I played it, I'd put it in E tier tbh. Not because of the price, but because it doesn't feel any different than any other PRS
Yeah it's spec'd no differently than any other Custom 24 AFAICT. Just the fancy finish and inlays. And the exclusivity.
@@mikeomatic9905 Every PRS feels the exact same to me, which is good for consistency, but I hate it 😅
I kinda just clicked on this one because I was curious as to what the hell Mia Khalifa had to do with signature guitars, or just guitars as a subject in general... I was admittedly quite baffled for a bit there.
I was hoping to see if the Ibanez Iceman J. Yuenger signature would make an appearance. As i think its one of those forgotten signature. Good video KDH like button stomped :)
Saw mia khalifa on the thumbnail, didnt even need to think of anyone else than sixtstringtv 😂😂
the blood splatter guitar is like half explorer, half star guitar. they would love this in the eighties.
I would love it NOW
I played around with Angus Young's Gibson Signature SG unplugged once and it felt as perfect as a guitar could get. I only played it unplugged because I wanted to be dazzled or dissapointed by the craftsman ship and setup of that and several other guitars in the "gift shop area" of Gibson's Memphis factory
Had some I’d never seen before and some I wish I’d never seen lol.
With that said, Japan models have the BEST signature guitars, particularly fender japan.
Some suggestions to lookup (most of these I own lol): The Scandal guitars (particularly Haruna’s white and gold tele and Mami’s red strat, but scandal have 3 sig. series runs over the last decade), Suu (silent siren) tele, Zemaitis Flappy Pigeon (Kobato’s from bandmaid), Miyako (lovebites) dean v, ritchie kotzen tele, miyavi tele, Asuka tele, final fantasy strat *overpriced though, miku hatune esp *overpriced, Babymetal esp arrow…. Etc so many more
Miyako’s dean v is mik but being a Japanese metal guitarist I think it still counts 😂
Phil Collen signature white Charvel Jackson was awesome, but well, the new PC1 is also beautiful.
Can't believe how dirty they did the Chris Broderick sig, when they give nunos guitar way higher even though they have the same attribute
Agree
Glad to see the JEM777 on top!
My favorite signature guitar, from a mostly aesthetic standpoint as I'm not much of a guitar player, is the .strandberg* Boden Masvidalien Cosmo.
You mentioned the PRS one breaking or scratching. While I don't own a super expensive PRS and I assumed the same thing, they're supposed to be super durable and almost impossible to scratch and I haven't seen a scratched PRS guitar so far.
You definitely get buckle rash and pick scratches on the PRS finishes. It's a bit harder to get deep scratches though. (But they do chip if you bang them on the coffee table! From experience.)
You guys should’ve done one of the Tim Henson guitars that Tim uses, and Ibanez now sell
So a tier list about the guitars I own.
12:35 - What is your problem with Rick Beato?
No, seriously - and no offense intended: what is your beef with him? I would really like to understand, so if you could clarify, that would be most enlightening. Because I just don't see it.
oh wow i didn't expect them to hate the chris broderick guitar, i absolutely love the shape
Yeah Chris broderick awesome shape I reckon to. Could be biased as have the ht6 version of one
Love these vids...and i was not expecting that voice
I would've liked to see either one of Jim Root's signatures or one of Mick Thomsons'
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the content.
That being said, how come you guys didn't discussed the Uli Jon Roth signature guitar?
I'd say the Dan Jacobs Kiesel looks more like a used sanitary pad, but that might not be the most youtube friendly observation
Have a Ibanez Jem777dy from 1988, its amazing to play and sounds great. Happy to see the pink sister is a S tier
Definitely gonna need to do a part 2 because there are a lot of awesome/ugly signatures
I have the Kerry king one it’s actually rly comfortable and it plays so well. Definitely suits my style :)
I own the original LTD release of the KH-503 and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played. The EMG-HZ pick ups are fine, especially cause I’m not huge into active pickups. And it weights the same as the tree they got the wood from for the body. But yeah that sticker ain’t great.
I have a '99 Japan made M-300 that came with HZ's. They sounded absolutely terrible, just super muddy and dead, trust me that guitar will sound twice as good with real pickups in it
@@turdferguson2 Haha, I've been telling my self I'll swap them out for the past 20 years.
