Just seeing your piece in the background, and Matt's piece in your hands, brings back so many great memories! Seeing those 2 guitars meant something great was about to happen!
Another awesome thing about UA-cam is the fact that I'm watching one of my biggest influences for guitar since 7th grade and I'm fkn 34 lol not some huge production or some magazine lesson (as awesome as they were) it's just rob in his place being excited over new shit just like the rest of us lol. Although some professional musicians and producers see this as a downside lol also cheers to Joe. It's pretty cool that one of your guitars is in robs hands
DUDE! Awesome vid. Great guitar ❤ At 8:40 I grabbed my guitar to play along to ASSASSIN. Whatta killer song. The riff at min 10:00! 😳🤯👍 Sooooo good. Appreciate ya. Have a great week.
Awe man thanks Todd! 👊 A little earlier today I got a message from Matt, saying he'd love to expand on the song!! So get ready for that! MFA has entered the building!! You'll be the first to hear it man! 🤘 Cheers and thanks for always being so cool!
You always show appreciation to your band mates and i really respect that about you Rob. In all honesty Viper not my favorite shape but I a big fan of MFA! seems like just the chillest dude ever.
I am addicted to ESP guitars. Try the E-II M-II HT. I got it as a Black Natural Fade with Bare Knuckle Tiger Aftermaths. This guitar is my best one. A crazy riffing machine and ridiculous beautiful. That ESP neck is all I want to play on.
Don't know if you've heard the latest Thy Art Is Murder single "Blood Throne," but I'm getting some serious early 2000s vibes from it. The groove throughout the song reminded me of Chimaira so much that I had to say something here. Anyways, absolutely LOVE that guitar. The satin finish is gorgeous and it sounds killer!! Hope you have an awesome day!! 🤘🤘
New EYL and time to set up my Jackson DK2 Modern 7HT lol perfect timing. Love how your happy with the guitar right out the gate I seem to never be thrilled at the time of unboxing but will bond with guitars after a couple weeks.
this is the type of viper i would love to have. hoping esp releases one like this either on black metal series or other, congrats rob what an awesome axe!
Matt was the reason I bought a black Viper 400 back in 2006! I liked it so much I bought a Mat black Viper 500 a couple of years later 🤘I am telling myself I need to record and release something with my 500 before buying another one 😅 Black cherry...it looks so damn good...I may have a problem o_o Oh and that jam was fucking tasty! New Chimaira? Yes? Please? Have a great day and keep bringing the awesome 🤘
SO dope!! MFA... Matt's guitar with a MATT finish!! (Matte, I know... doesn't work for me here tho) Always loved those things... annnd, just like you, I should have got one WAY back too. Dammit. =) Cheers, m'man!!
Congratulations Rob that's a great guitar. Rob that would be great if find the time to make an update video regarding your Guitar collection. Thank you.
I managed to find one brand new a few years ago in the UK. Pretty sure it was the last brand new available anywhere. I just need an RA-600 to go with it. That's what I was actually looking for originally but never found one
So happy you got one rob it looks and sounds so cool matt is an amazing guitar player just like yourself the vipers are incredibly comfortable and light to play damm i want one lol take care dude 🤘💙
Great to see you branching out to some of the other models Rob. It's a beauty. I know you aren't the biggest fan of the EC models but there's a bit of a cult following to them. Do you think you'll ever own one or maybe feature one in a vid? Love your stuff man!
Congrats on the latest acquisition, these are definitely becoming more rare out in the wild along with your sig LTD. The 600 series LTDs really are a notch above the rest of the LTD line, I had a AL-600 Viper at one time which was an absolute beast. Sick jam too, bro!
Man, it was so cool seeing you so stoked about this guitar! I'm more a fan of your RA models to be honest (I'm a Strat and Superstrat guy from the beginning), but the stripped down no-frills look of the MFA-600 sure is badass! I really liked the MFA-inspired song, very punchy and aggressive sounding! You managed to capture his rhythm style pretty damn accurately IMO, that sure was inspiring to watch! I'm happy for you man, I'm sure she'll make for a kickass axe to record rhythms! 🤘🏻 Cheers and stay metal!
ROB you are a true inspiration to me. I love the content you make and teach us how to play CLASSIC chimaira riffs. you are a legend up there with Rhoades and jimmy page. LOVE THE CONTENT. Pittsburg ks. also what is one of your favorite chimaira songs to play.
Thank you bro! 👊 And I remember playing Pittsburg, KS back in the day! Everything You Love is one of my favorite Chimaira songs to play, and I talk more about that, and my other favorite Chim songs, in Everything You Love ep. 37! Check it out! 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/soNbv9qjbxg/v-deo.html
I'm trying to learn guitar, and I saw some of your videos, man, so much info and top quality content. You are doing such a great job. Made me become a member. Btw, I have an LTD single cut, black matte finish, my first guitar, wish me luck 😄 Cheers Rob!
Hey dude! First of all, thanks so much for joining up as a member! 👊 I'm so happy to hear you've been digging my videos too man! Awesome that you're starting off on your guitar journey, and I'll be here to help out along the way! Cheers and good luck! 🤘
Hey Rob, why you didn't use a 25.5 scale length in your ESP Signature? Since you use low tuning.MFA is 25.5 and your guitar is 24,75. Can you tell us why? I really like when you talk about guitars in your channel.... My favorite video is the one in which you show us your custom ESPs ,,, Cheers!!!!!
Hey thanks man! There was no real rhyme or reason behind my choice in scale length. I guess it just felt right? And I never notice any difference when I switch between my 24.75 and 25.5 guitars.
That is a beauty Rob. I'm not gonna ask how much the guitar cost you, but I would say it's well worth every penny. You spoke of the body where it got palm print near to the volume. Would you be able to polish and buff it out ? Or are you just happy as it is. Either way I really like how it sounds. I wish you many hours of joy with your new toy.
JoeyJoeJoe is right... I did manage to polish it up a bit more, but from what I've read, once a matte finish has worn, it will continue to wear the more you mess with it.
Another great review. Looking how great cheap car challenges do on YT, would be an interesting video a cheap guitar challenge. Picking up some bargain used guitar based on it woods, then humbuckers as bridge. Refurbishing some old tube amp, to build a perfect metal rig on a budget.
I know they're known for the neck dives, so you have to drill a new strap button hole at the very top of the horn. That fixes the issue. I haven't done it yet on this guitar, but plan to in a future video!
I noticed a few videos ago. All i could see was the Peavey logo without the circle in the top left corner then we got full cab shots and was like "someone has new cabs"!@@RobArnoldWorld
Would love to have an MFA-600 like so i had the complet Chimaira set. Got an RA-600. 😜(Just to get as close to the RA-3, iv put a set of Sperzels on mine) Only thing i dont really like about the MFA-600 is the placement of te volume... It way to close to my picking hand. And it's missing the Floyd Rose 😜
@@RobArnoldWorld If i ever get one, Right away, get a set of sperzels on it... I buy guitars that are a bit beet, fix them up with new paint and if the harware is garbage i alway put on a set of Sperzels on it.
In 2018, I released "Total Destruction", from my band, The Elite. Here's a song to check out, and if you dig it, please head down The Elite rabbit hole! 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/weq8cedSB4g/v-deo.html
Pls tell me this doesn't feel like trad SG and more people like a comfy strat feel. Or even a light LP. I never liked the SG feel or look but the matte black and off center horns makes this less SG and more LP/Strat
Remember to wanted so bad in 2008 ! Short story the sell man on my local music store said to me i can order one for you but esp take minimum 9 to 11 months to get.....today pretty sure that he bullshit me. So I take one Ltd h 1001 and spend all my money...very bad decision. Oh by the way Rob I think this guitar are 25 1/2 scale that make this viper unique because all viper are 24 3/4 !!
Unfortunately man, I think that is the typical turnaround time for a special order. Matt and I would usually wait about a year for any custom guitar orders we'd place.
To be honest I've never really got into signature models guitars. With robs and Matt's signature esp ltd guitars I've been drooling over them since day one. Always on the hunt.
@@RobArnoldWorld that's rad my man, thank you for the love! I'm right down the road from you in Erie, PA and come to Cleveland often! If you ever want to do a little collab, hit me up 😎

I looked for several years before I found mine. One of my favorite guitars.
🤘
Approved! Sick riffs my man! 🤘😉🤘🎸
DUDE!!!! Cooool guitar, man!!! 👍😃
YES! Thanks for chiming in man! Let's complete the song and do another EYL!🤘
Aye, the legends have spoken. 😉
As soon as I saw the thumbnail of the MFA, I got excited like I finally tracked one down. haha I couldn't click fast enough. You're a lucky duck, Rob.
Just seeing your piece in the background, and Matt's piece in your hands, brings back so many great memories! Seeing those 2 guitars meant something great was about to happen!
👊
That just looks every bit like a true rhythm man's guitar. No extra no bullshit just straight to the point riff machine
Amen!
You are a down to earth, cheerful and full of passion artist, no ego no arrogance, so I subed. Cheers from Morocco.
Hey I really appreciate that man! 👊 Welcome aboard, and cheers to Morocco!

That's awesome! I love how matte finished guitar wear over the years from playing.
I can safely say, with that little song you put together, you captured the riffage style perfectly of MFA. Loved that song.
Thanks dude!👊
One of these days I will get my hands on an mfa 600 song for sure does justice to Matt and that guitar!
Awesome Jake and thanks! I hope you score one too bro!
Man, once the song you came up with started playing I got chills! Can definitely hear that being an official Chimaira song.

The Viper in general has always seemed to be an underrated shape for Metal guitar players, that offset body looks really comfortable sitting down. 😩
Oh I find it to be perfectly comfortable when sitting down. No issues👌
Oh shit son it came with the hard case and even that’s pristine?
Unreal!
Congratulations bro!
Thanks man! A new case was a special request!🤘😉
So happy you got one rob it looks and sounds so cool matt is an amazing guitar player just like yourself the vipers are incredibly comfortable and light to play damm i want one lol take care dude 🤘💙
Thanks James!🤘🎸
What a sick guitar to own. I would never sell my viper-400. Matt’s signature is sicker.
Oh yeah man. A Viper🤘
The SG body shape is my favorite.🤘
Always thought Matt had one of the sickest signature Vipers around. Just like your channel. Best in show! Thanks for another original video Rob.
Cheers Rick!👊
Nice! I've been learning some songs off abomination recently too, so this was prretty cool to see.
Awesome! 🤘
Great to see you branching out to some of the other models Rob. It's a beauty. I know you aren't the biggest fan of the EC models but there's a bit of a cult following to them. Do you think you'll ever own one or maybe feature one in a vid? Love your stuff man!

Matte black , one volume knob, one mean pickup and ready to rock!!! Wonder what it would look like with a Floyd? 🤘😀
He's got one with a floyd! I think it needs an Evertune!
I have a viper. Love the sound but hate the balance. I have to wrap my guitar strap around the tip of it.
I'll have a video coming soon, explaining how to attach a strap in a way that fixes that problem! Stay tuned!🎸
Aw snap
Actually looking for your signature guitar Rob🎸🤘
I hope you find one!
Perfect guitar for batman
I bought a E-II VIPER a while back. It sounded and played awesome, but I ended up returning it because it neckdived like f’n crazy. How’s that one?
I know they're known for the neck dives, so you have to drill a new strap button hole at the very top of the horn. That fixes the issue. I haven't done it yet on this guitar, but plan to in a future video!

Would love to have an MFA-600 like so i had the complet Chimaira set. Got an RA-600. 😜(Just to get as close to the RA-3, iv put a set of Sperzels on mine)
Only thing i dont really like about the MFA-600 is the placement of te volume... It way to close to my picking hand.
And it's missing the Floyd Rose 😜
Dude that's awesome! Glad to have you as part of the RA-600 family, and hopefully you eventually score an MFA-600!

If i ever get one, Right away, get a set of sperzels on it...
I buy guitars that are a bit beet, fix them up with new paint and if the harware is garbage i alway put on a set of Sperzels on it.
I love a good project too!🎸@@Martinroot
What was the name of the CD you put out a little while ago called, Something like "Elite"? Thanks for any input guys 🤘
In 2018, I released "Total Destruction", from my band, The Elite. Here's a song to check out, and if you dig it, please head down The Elite rabbit hole! 🤘 ua-cam.com/video/weq8cedSB4g/v-deo.html
@RobArnoldWorld Thanks Sir Rob.
Pls tell me this doesn't feel like trad SG and more people like a comfy strat feel. Or even a light LP. I never liked the SG feel or look but the matte black and off center horns makes this less SG and more LP/Strat

Love Matt black vipers
Remember to wanted so bad in 2008 ! Short story the sell man on my local music store said to me i can order one for you but esp take minimum 9 to 11 months to get.....today pretty sure that he bullshit me. So I take one Ltd h 1001 and spend all my money...very bad decision. Oh by the way Rob I think this guitar are 25 1/2 scale that make this viper unique because all viper are 24 3/4 !!
Unfortunately man, I think that is the typical turnaround time for a special order. Matt and I would usually wait about a year for any custom guitar orders we'd place.
Dude Rob WTF?! You Teaser.
That shit sounds 🔥
🤘
ha the second i saw that guitar i thought "MATT!"
To be honest I've never really got into signature models guitars. With robs and Matt's signature esp ltd guitars I've been drooling over them since day one. Always on the hunt.
I wish you luck my man! One day it will happen!
@@RobArnoldWorld absolutely. I still got alot of life in me👊✊🤘🎸Thanks for the positive vibes
👊Always bro!@@ryanriffs_1349
I envision it ending up in Matt's hands when you finish playing with it😅
That would have been sweet!
So much Cleveland in this vid 🫡🖤
🤘
Now that is a riff stick
