- Signature Guitars can be a bit weird, or they can be incredibly cool.
So @sixstringtv1 and I decided to rank some and had fun doing it.

This was hilarious (and tedious) to film 🤣 Here's to many more collabs
PS, beautiful thumbnail
Only had to do the same thing 3 times
Couldn't you just have said "Bitler", gawd.
You two work well together.
Please consider doing more collabs in the future.
Ur beautiful
I see you in a whole new light....
Omg that Mustaine impression...just killed it
facts
My man won the Internet right then and there.
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.
Hahaa. See what I did there? Ya get it? Ahh you will at eventually...
That dude looks just like MK!!! Lol
That dude may be Mia Khalifa!!! Which is the only reason many hit this click bait! Although much love KDH. LOL
Thank God, i thought it was just me.@@STRATSAFIRE
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! 😁
Cool af
Cool guy for sure. He came into the Sam ash I worked at and super down to earth
@@6V6band He sure is. Did he try a guitar and shred out? He really smokes!
@Bob-of-Zoid I know a couple of guys that worked there back in the day.
@@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 literally looked up if Mia had her own signature guitar.
All I found is that she can play guitar apparently but no signature guitar
exactly same the thumbnail got my hopes up, thought i finally had my sights set on my next guitar 😢
@robertcampbell472 me too brother
She plays the guitar in D tuning
Rick Beato's guitar is EXACTLY what you'd think it would be without even having to look first.
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.
@@johneeeemarry34 thanks for the laugh , cheers
@@mrcoatsworth429 the cheapest I can find is like 3k on reverb, and I can’t find it nowhere else
@@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.
Mercyful fate profile. Sick!
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.
Damn he went to Kiesel? That means I should be able to find his ESP for cheap
@@jonnylawless6797 I could see that going either way, his ESP was super cool. I could see someone not wanting to come off of it.
@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.
this is the collab i didn't know i really wanted and felt really natural even before seeing more than 30 seconds.
a dual cover as straight up future suggestion.
We have good chemistry don't we
@@sixstringtv1 most definately. Moar of these. Like two sarcastic brothers. Love it.
I want my 28 minutes back.
Same
Why?
"It's hard to imagine there will be something worse than that*
Me: remembers the Dean Annhilator
Whachu talkin about bruh, that headstock was sick AF! 😂
You can kill someone with every part of the guitar, holy shit.
I'm going to pretend I have no idea who is in the thumbnail of this video even though I attended FSU 2014-2016.
your videos r gud
Alexi laiho's signatures are very cool, gary holt, john petrucci, jeff hanemann and technically les pauls and RRs are signature guitars too
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.
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.
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.
Majesty and JS (Ibanez) are both a must.
or any jp guitar
A must dump. 🤮
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...
cool now i don't need to finish the video. if ppl really are still sleeping on the JMJM that's on them
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)?
@@CobraFat2000 No clue. I guess I don't watch enough YT to know :), sorry
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
Clicked for Mia.
You're welcome
Simp
Clicked for the fanned fret guitar
Pfft! Simp.
Who?
I was looking at the thumbnail and wondered "Why Mia Khalifa got signature guitar? ".
Two of the greatest guitar channels collaborating. I definitely need more of this.
I'm sure there will be.
i am only a fan of two signature models: the Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster and the Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. both are magnificent.
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.🎸👍🥃
That thumbnail is too fucking funny
Blues Lawyer here.
Re the PRS: The buyer will not file Chapter 11. That's for corporations. The buyer will file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection.
Business purchase?
@@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.
“It’s important that the clients know I have good taste in guitars.
I swear it’s a business purchase”
@@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.
Kerry Kings guitar looks like something a Ferengi or Klingon would fly around
So it cool!?
Great thumbnail KDH. Only problem being, now I can't unsee Sixstring's resemblance to Mia K. LoL
It was his idea!!!
Join the club 🤣
I can't look in the mirror anymore
🤨?
@@KDH I didn't even know why she was in the thumbnail until this comment. Man I'm really baffled at how accurate mia khalifa looks like sixstring womanized
Saw mia khalifa on the thumbnail, didnt even need to think of anyone else than sixtstringtv 😂😂
These guys have become some of my favorites. Just fun and usually informative.
They should do all guitars with the body shape as the headstock
Les paul would look so fucked
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!
Had to subscribe after that thumbnail joke.
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
I really like the music man tosin guitar. It’s probably my absolute favorite out of the new style/shape guitars. I’d put it in A or B.
For omissions, several more EBMMs come to mind e.g. the St. Vincent, Albert Lee, Petrucci “Majesty”, maybe even basses like the John Myung Bongo 6.
Thanks, Kirlan ..
Did You consult with Roooob Chapman before producing this ?? 😀😀😀
These tier lists are a perfect mixture of entertaining and obscenely frustrating.
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
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
You guys are great together, very funny and honest.
"He can put that in his PDF and suck it" GOT me DYING!!!!
I have to say that I kind of missed Brendon Small's Snow Falcon.
Your videos are highly entertaining, thanks for the effort!
This list is objectively wrong! I have a PhD in objectivity so I'm more than qualified to assert this!
Yngwie's signature belongs in D for "No I don't eat DONUTS"!
I had to laugh so hard when I first saw that clip.
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.
I dream to see a Scatman signature guitar one day
I could die happy
As a casual viewer of this channel, I can't be the only one that first saw this on a smaller screen .. saw sixstringtv's thumbnail and initially thought - wow this hot chick has a really deep voice ...... ::squints:: ::zooms video:: .... oohhh k 😂
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.
I've played the Kirk Hammett (Spider) ESP - it’s much nicer in the flesh, and it plays beautifully... apart from the pickups, which are so powerful that it's ridiculous. It's no wonder that Kirk plays Greenie all the time these days...
With built in wah?
the Broderick should be in S tier, "fight me" :)
I think in general people like it, six string just has bad takes
@@puffballbk2186 sometimes, but I still love him so much for not holding himself back :D
It should be S or at least A
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.
I think they even had a jeff beck model planned before the others but it didnt pan out
Great video, loved every minute. Just wish there were more signature guitars haha i would happily watch 2 hours of this
Judging by the thumbnail, I thought this was a collab with Mia Khalifa. And no, I've no idea who that is...
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
The Rick Beato model is a Les Paul Special, not a Jr. (the latter has one pickup), and the colour is Pelham Blue.
Nice to see sixstringtv on the channel. More collabs with him, please!
Don't you worry!
just picked up Eric Gales signature guitar and absolutely love it, got it signed by the man himself also! Great vid as always KDH 🤘🏾
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?
Miastringtv is my favorite
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.
"HOW DARE YOU, HE INVENTED MUSIC" cracked me up!
Syn Custom is a sick guitar. Plays great and looks awesome on a stand.
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.
It’s hideoussss and so is the band
@@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.
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 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.
I think I remember hearing all the profits from the Rick Beato model go to charities of Ricks choice
KDH and 6STV collabs are always goated 👌🏾
There's a 13 or 14 year old thai female street musician called "Queen on the street" who plays an orianthi signature regularly in downtown Phuket. Talented and badass
You guys have a good dynamic.
Same person, different colour wig. Prove me wrong.
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the content.
That being said, how come you guys didn't discussed the Uli Jon Roth signature guitar?
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.
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
I'd suggest Devin Townsend's Framus Stormbender, John Petrucci's EBMM Majesty, Joe Satriani's Chrome Boy and Paul Gilbert's Fireman
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
Phil Collen signature white Charvel Jackson was awesome, but well, the new PC1 is also beautiful.
ngl that Ormsby reminds me of original CoD MW2 so much, that shits insane
@KDH holy shit i just noticed the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
Where would you put the evh wolfgang on this list?
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
May Lian, brilliant video, Congratulations for your new channel!
Waiting for more😊
I'd have the Beatocaster in a heartbeat....if it cost US$1000.
Also, wasn't the first signature model the Les Paul?
afair they were refering to signature Fenders not all of guitar manufacturers, best
@@macshyha What?
I'd say the Dan Jacobs Kiesel looks more like a used sanitary pad, but that might not be the most youtube friendly observation
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
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.
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!
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.
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
What band is that woman on the thumbnail from? She looks so familiar.
What about the John Petrucci models?
Luthiers say that they got faulty necks. From time to time I check one luthier's (the one who does AMAZING job) social media, and almost every month there are warped EB MM, both regular JP and Majesty. Guess it's wiser to buy used, at least few years old, so chances are that if something was about to happen to the neck - it happened already.
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 🤙
I wish Glenn was in on this one. I feel like him and 6 string are such polar opposites, it’d have to make for a great show
The 2nd one looks like a staple remover
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
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 😅
Have a Ibanez Jem777dy from 1988, its amazing to play and sounds great. Happy to see the pink sister is a S tier
I don't know what the worse thing is - THAT Guitar or legally changing your name via deed poll to Synyster GATES 😅 I think the finish looks more like Anime rain than a barcode
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.
Holy shit I’ve just realize why there’s Mia on the thumbnail 😂
the blood splatter guitar is like half explorer, half star guitar. they would love this in the eighties.
I would love it NOW
Finally a new video from KDH, I just love your content and your accent especially! Keep up the great work!
I don't ever want to play one of Tosin's guitars... BUT I do think they deserve to be in S for two reasons: first being the fact that it's as unique as a signature guitar can be and the shape and design actually compliment the playing style of the artists. And second he actually designed it himself instead of just letting Ibanez or ESP take some parts they had and making something he kind of liked. He actually cares about the guitar instead of just wanting something pretty
