I agree with you, Glenn needs an eye exam.
I was shocked you didn’t like the Kelly, that’s my baby lol
Literally you pissed 80% guitarist by putting Fender shape on D, next to an ugly design. That also includes me, I love strat shape specially loved with pickguard .
Was hoping you guys would have included more odd Deans likes the Cadillac, Split Tail, Tyrant or Demonator
I swear Glen mentally flips a coin for every guitar that determines if he likes it or not.
*Absolute abomination appears* "Oh I love that"
*Masterpiece guitar with literally nothing wrong appears* "Is there a tier below F?"
Feels like watching a random number generator
Yeah they are a bunch of sodomists
I'm shocked at the hate of the Gretsch white falcon!!!!
Idk why people dislike gretsch so much. They’re not a modern looking guitar but they sound so beautiful. Even the Chinese made ones. I have a gretsch g5222 duo jet in a jade grey. It sits sadly on my guitar rack 99% of the time. But that’s because after I started guitar a year ago almost, I got the gretsch to replace my broken Chinese bcp knock off fender. 2 months after getting my gretsch I got myself an Ibanez jem jr. It became my main for like 6 months. And then I got a hellraiser c-1 fr diamond series schecter and then 2 months later I got myself another schecter diamond series platinum fr-s. It’s a mix of my Ibanez and my hellraiser. But with a sustainiac. Gretsch is just a jazz guitar even tho you can make that baby chug.
The White Falcon is one of the most beautiful guitars of all time. Right behind the White Penguin!
White falcon reigns supreme.
Love the white falcon but the penguin is the best looking Gretsch. Gretsch owns the hollow body and semi hollow in my opinion. I love the over the top bling 50s/60s automobile design inspiration. I know the penguin is a solid body but no way the falcon isn’t easily A or B tier.
Yep
I think the bucketheads yellowing fits the theme with the arcade kill switch, as its reminiscent of yellowing old electronics / video game systems

That Dean ML was so cool, like a guitar with Ride the Lightning album artwork. Explorer + V = Awesomeness, So did the WHITE FALCON, it’s SOO CLASSICLY BEAUTIFUL! also my second fav was the Satchel one: Kramer Pacer! Love Steel Panther
I agree on the ML! Although from gigging, that damned thing suffers the same fate as explorers. The hard cases are behemoths. The Razorback however just wanted to chip.
That’s the Dimebag Dean From Hell model. One of the most recognized and celebrated metal guitars of the last 35 years. Also, Washburn made a few of them while Dime was endorsed by them in the 90’s. Have you seriously never seen that guitar before??? It’s ok if you haven’t. I’m seriously not being an ass. I’m just shocked. Especially since you know the Ride The Lightning album artwork.
Getcha pull son!!
I adore my Razorback, but all of the Dime series are pretty awesome. I honestly wouldn't buy any other Dean though. The Dimes are their masterpieces IMO. There are many guitars ranked above it in this list I wouldn't take for free. I am shocked he put the BC Rich at the top and left the Dime near the bottom. BC Rich tries, but has nothing on Dime series guitars.
@@ChrisTopherBunnell i have a early 2000's bc rich and it plays way better then any of my import deans.
The Parker fly is literally one of greatest feats in guitar engineering. It looks like that out of necessity not because they thought they were doing something different
If only the frets wouldn't fall off from the fretboard...
I don't know about that. I had one with the bolt on neck, it got stolen and I wasn't that mad.
The parker fly is a great guitar.. but those stainless frets are glued on. (so carry a bottle of super glue)
I agree, i bought one when they were released, my friends thought i had lost the plot,
today they go for high prices.
@@AnonymousUser66649 Every guitar has it weak spots, just looking at a Les Paul neck will break it!
Gretsch hate is bizarre lol
It’s definitely of its era, but the Gem is of its era as well.
Hilarious video
Personally I don't hate the shape or anything, but gold hardware on white body is just so ugly to me, on any guitar. I would probably but this one in E. One with a nicer color scheme would be a C for me.
I have never seen a Grestch guitar that looks even remotely nice. They are ugly horrible gibson copies. Gross. I have no idea why people play them
the Parker Fly is a perfect example of function over form. Body was literally designed for balance
I love how the prince guitar instantly makes the dean guitar look tame
“That looks like someone hailing a taxi”
The Parker Fly Deluxe is one of the greatest guitars of all time. The form is its function. There are some minor problems with it, but that's the same for every guitar. It makes the best use of its compromises as a monster guitar for playing live. The business failed because of the economics, not the guitar. They were trying to sell a 6000 dollar guitar for 3000 dollars, and Ken Parker refused to compromise (and wasn't, apparently, a great business mind). Fail for putting it at D, but it was a fun video to watch. That warlock in A tells me that lead paint may have played a part in your development. ;)
I think it's super cool that you included the ex style specifically. I own an LTD EX-400 as well as a pre Lawsuit ESP explorer. The ex shape is way way better ergonomics wise because of the bevels and little details. If you aren't looking for a 24 fret guitar these are some of the best playing ones you can find for the money. The classic shape is super cool but really a bit annoying to play. It's just huge.
These videos are amazing. Y'all have such hilarious chemistry!
I like Glen, have him on more. You guys are funny together
Putting the Tele in D🤦♂ should be in S together with the LP and Strat. A goes to Warlock, Explorer and JEM. B for Strandberg, Pacer and N4. Agree on most Fs, would switch the Reverse V with the Gretsch maybe. Don't care too much bout the other guitars. I had fun watching. Maybe you can do a Pedal Tier list as welll..
As a pantera fan I actually felt violated at the ranking of the ml
Apparently the reverse V is a great guitar. I've seen one in a shop when I went London but it was too expensive for me to even ask to try it. They supposedly fix the flying V cause it sits perfectly on your leg and doesnt slide like the V
Sammy G swears by it.
Yeah that’s who you wanna listen to,a communist with a man-bun….
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 😭🤣 have fun in your little world of hate where a haircut invalidates people 😭🤣 I'm sure your life is very fun and people are happy to be around you.
I dont think they made any in the low tier builds?
That's the first thing I thought when I saw one.. that it looks like it wouldn't slide.
My taste in guitar is definitely closer to KDH than Glen, but I'm about the furthest thing from a traditional Gibson fanboy so that makes sense. Very entertaining video. Looking forward to future videos from you both
Same here, I only like bolt ons so that pretty rules out Gibson. Then I like to down tune so the 24.75 scale isnt my thing either. They sure look good though.
I think you guys should do an amp tier list or a pedal/effects tier list for future videos. You guys are hilarious together!
I played harder rock/metal back in the 80's-90's and used Jackson Dinky's and RR V's . My buddy brought an old (early 70's?) Fender Mustang and asked me to play some blues on it. It was a life altering decision . I never did like the looks of it .....but playing the blues or any clean jazz style leads ......it sounded AMAZING !
They're too small, so I go for the jag/jazzmaster for that reason. 6'3 230 makes mustangs look dinky
Awesome video!! You guys are so fun to watch 🤣👍🏻
12:34 "The irony is, there are so many points and it's pointless" I LOLed
The Jackson Kelly looks the best if it has a design on it, the curved bottom gives you a wee bit extra room for a decal or something. They look ace if they have a hard tail like a tune-o-matic because it makes the whole guitar look smaller.
my old KE2 in eerie dess was gorgeous
The Prince guitar is from the time he changed his name to that glyph. I pretty much agree with the whole list. I like Warlocks so I'm glad to see it in S. I wanted to like the Apocalypse because it looks sort of like a Warlock, but there's just something a little off about it.
I like the Cloud guitar and the more angular one he had during the Diamonds and Pearls era.
The Prince guitar is S tier, but only if you're Prince. Nobody else can pull that off.
@Crap Tacular Came here to make this exact comment. Only prince can make that cool. BUT..... him playing a tele at the George Harrison gig should he's just cool with whatever he plays.
I love how crazy this list is! 🤣 I love the lack of fear to enrage fan boys! Just awesome/funny personal choices, great vid
Thank you for the S for the Warlock, I love them.
The Strandberg Boden is such a gorgeous guitar, especially consider it's an entirely functional design. Each cutout is designed for a different playing position. It's honestly, in my opinion, a huge leap forward in guitar design.
Entirely functional=exceptionally ugly...to each their own.
Brilliant video, questionable choices 😉 (apart from the fabulous F tier which I think we can all agree on 🤣) You should've got an extra S tier choice in this one because Strats and Les Pauls have to be there by law! A good heavy band playing live with one of each can sound absolutely huge with the Les Paul chug and Strat scream together 🤘
There is nothing heavy about a strats sounds
@@timgonzales2891 Kurt Cobain chose to use a Strat for his heaviest song at Reading 1992. Billy Corgan got heavy as hell at times on his Strat, as did Dave Navarro when he used one, and even John Frusciante on occasion. Strats were all the rage (pun intended 😉) for heavy alt rock in the 90s and there are many types of heavy besides metal. I've only mentioned one decade and genre!
@@timgonzales2891 Through a good, properly set up amp, strats can scream. They aren’t the best for chugging, so you’d definitely want a humbucker guitar for rhythm. But a strat will give you some screaming lead tones that cut through the mix. It’s a lot more versatile than people think.
@@timgonzales2891 any guitar with a humbucker and the right amp can be heavy
yngwie malmsteen ,dave murray and ritchie blackmoore enter the chat..........bro,you aint too bright
I liked the video because you guys are funny when you get together. Quality content.
I admit, Glen's tier list maddened me to no end. My tier list would be similar to yours, except I would move your S tier down to B, the Les Paul and Jem to S tier, and the RG and ESP EX to A
I have to say, I'm practically speechless at the LTD EX placement :O And I have to concur with KD, WAY different from the Jackson Kelly. I definitely prefer the EX, though I might be biased in that I own one >.>
The Warlock is a fantastic model and I'm dying on this hill.
I really enjoyed watching this again , you guys were really funny 😂❤
I had a Jackson Kelly. One of the best playing axes I've ever owned, but I kept knocking things over with it!
It made me so happy when you put the Warlock in S. I was screaming S that whoe time, lol! My Warlock was shivering in the corner, concerned!
What do you think of Steve Vai’s hydra Guitar? I think it’s a bit odd myself 🤷🏻♂️
I already have a suggestion for another video with Glen: Guitar mods tier list. Both disgusting and horrifying mods, as well as pretty crazy mods that are also super cool.
And yes warlocks with the 6 inline headstocks are incredible!
Very surprised about the Mustang. Yes, the bridge is unconventional, but IF set up properly, that bridge CAN actually work properly. Bridge aside, the Fender Mustang is one of the most comfortable guitars for me that I’ve ever played. I have a small frame and smaller hands, so the offset smaller body, short scale, and thin neck profile make for a guitar that takes less effort for me to play than most others. Now, I must also clarify that I’m also specifically referring to the Mustangs with the CONTOURED BODY, NOT THE FLAT BODY of the more modern Mustangs sold today. I’m honestly confused WHY Fender are selling the uncontoured body version of the Mustang as the HIGH END models! Very early on, before I even heard of Nirvana, I was already drawn to the Mustang because of how comfortable it was. Also, it’s just a shrunken, offset Strat. The rounded pick guard isn’t in any way ugly either.
Parker Fly’s we’re so nice to play, but their appearance killed them. The Dragonfly was the companies best move they made, but it came too late to save them unfortunately since no one was paying attention by the time it released. Shame. Hope to be able to get a Dragonfly one day..
The Vigier Passion or Arpege 1 guitars are my ABSOLUTE favorite playing guitars ever! They are unbelievable in how they play.
I think the ESP Forest looks a lot nicer when you realise that the little "points" are from a violin. Before that, though, it just looks wrong. Weird guitar and not at all what I'd normally play, but I sort of like it.
As a drummer with only surface-level knowledge about guitars, this video is very entertaining
I like the Paul Stanley Silvertone. I felt a little weird about it at first, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. I can agree with most of the other rankings though
they are horrid
And that's your right to feel that way. I haven't played one yet, but I plan to
No regular V, or ES-335? For shame lol! My pick for top guitar in this list, would be the Jem. Great video fellers
Glen is cool, i love how the both of you look at each other when an opinion the other didn't expect pops up. 😆 The reverse V does feel nice when sitting down though....
The reverse V is one of those moments where people at Gibson thought really outside the box, like galaxies away outside the box... Still, it's not that great looking but if it's comfortable, more power to them.
@@onerandombruh I agree on them not looking great. It looks & feels weird, but the feeling of it being weird goes away after 5min's. I've just not played it standing up....
Haha! I love this new video format!
btw that Buckethead has a 1.5x size body, which is why the pickups look smaller. They made it proportional to the neck
I have both the Danelectro Longhorn which is ultra rare.. and the Gretsch G6810 Bo Diddley!! It all comes down to what filps the switch..
Danelectro Longhorn is an A for me. I own a bass version and it’s just amazing
I really didn’t understand the tele ranking until you mentioned the belly cut. The player plus is a beautiful telecaster
I can’t defend the Prince symbol guitar on looks but if you ever watched Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show in the middle of a rainstorm… and I think he used a Strat as well… it was live, just amazing (although my strongest impression was of the twin sister dancers in 7 inch heels… in the rain).
I love the Gretsch! I have a Cochrane styled entry-level, with a dogear p50 pickup in the neck, humbucker in the bridge and a Bigsby on it....and its awesome!
So many tones!
I agree that in a picture like that the Parker Fly is not the best looking. But when held at in a playing position with the neck angled up it looks better.
Bless you kdh, long may you continue to rustle the jimmies.
Cool fact about the bucket head guitar. The body isn’t the same size as a les Paul. It’s thicker and larger!
I was gonna say that. He says "long neck, small body", which is untrue. The body has been enlargened to make it fully proportional to the neck.
honestly wanna see kdh doing his own tier list because i feel like i’ve agreed with every one of his choices and practically none of the other guys
KDH would hit that warlock. Personally I'm partial to a really great archtop. I have a 1962 Aria Diamond (ES 335 copy), a Jazz Box (like a Gretsch Brian Setzer), and an ES 175. I have a whole heap of solid bodies as well but I always come back to my hollow bodies.
“Long neck, small body” the Buckethead Les Paul actually has a scaled up body to match the extended scale length. Apparently something to do with him being a giant.
Man, putting that goofy ass ninja star lookin ass guitar over the Gretsch screams "I have never had sex with a woman" lmao
I own that exact BC Rich warlock at 14:46 It plays great haha. He says "if it has the right headstock" which it does! It has a reverse headstock. Its called the BC Rich Warlock Pro X, and it has been discontinued for over 10 years.
Good final list 👏 👌 but what happened to all those other guitar 🎸 bodies that Jackson & PrS make? 😳
These tier videos are amazing, what about pedals like fuzz tier, overdrive tier, distortion tier. Or amp tiers or hogh gain amp tiers or whatever. Get really specific lol.
The strandberg boden is mabye the best guitar bodies ever made. I have played a lot of different guitars, but the boden feels like it's purely made for comfort. There is not a single uncomfortable feature, and playing my les paul after the strandberg feels like a workout.
Never thought I'd see the Les Paul and the GEM on the same tier. Especially since you pretty much can't tune a GEM and have it stay there for more than about 3 notes.
I def agree much more w kdh on these. And I'm with reverse headstocks all day!
Well done on the video, and I'd go with the last tier list shown before the video ends also. I'd think it was back in the mid-late 90s, when MTV was becoming eMpTyV by playing less Rock/Metal videos, and stopped "The Headbanger's Ball" in 1995, then showing much more pop/cRap/Hip Hop/grunge/Madonna and worse style videos, and then stopping from playing any videos in mid-late 2000s/early 2010s with the "Reality Based" shows like Jersey Shore, and other shit-coms. Award shows that had no Rock/Metal, finally into just about 24 hours a day of "Ridiculousness", how much can I save on my cable bill by NOT paying for eMpTvY, and other channels I won't ever watch. KDH is a great channel, and I couldn't put a "Dislike" on this, or any videos! Keep up the good work! Thanks for this video!
The Parker is an 'S', another strandberg model is an 'A', a good STrat is 'B' and all the rest under'D'.
Thoughts on the ibanez FTM-33?
Really loving this kind of style from you both. Like watching two best friends just having some fun. Although, I understand the reason of hatred towards the gretsch, let’s be honest. They’re almost 10 pounds without the bigsby. I can only imagine it’s not great feeling body being even heavier. I love gretsch but damn I’d say C. It’s classy but not as functional in the real world. I’d have also slammed the jem to a tier. But that’s my only complaint. Mainly the gretsch. You did her dirty xD
The squier Katana was my first guitar when I was a lad. I bought it for 80 bucks from my uncle. I still have it today and I almost never play it. The “Flying Check-mark” as I call it is almost impossible to sit down with and there is just no world where it looks cool. Kind of a collector item now though as they were so off putting that no one bought them
I love the Fender Katana. I find it very cool looking and the headstock they use is very interesting. I've been looking to find one but they are all at abysmally high prices
@@TemkaUwU I have no idea how the transaction would work but I’d be willing to sell you mine. A previous owner took out a lot of the original parts, but if you want it just to play and enjoy i would definitely sell it for much less than Reverb and such.
@@kevinpeterson4017 I definitely am interested but these types of things shouldn't be discussed on a yt comment section. If you want you can send me an email address we can discuss it more privately on and a little disclaimer I am from EU so shipping would be an issue if you are in US or Asia
Maybe not email as it will get deleted if you post it here....
@@kevinpeterson4017 hey? It's been 2 days
The Buckethead LP has an enlarged body to match the acale length
Just started watching...
I am in fear. I hope none of my guitars are included.
I think Parker stopped making Fly’s, and now makes archtops on a custom basis
The Gretsch squared guitar is supposed resemble a cigar box guitar which is something Bo Diddley asked for. If the guitar looked more like an cigar box guitar it would pass a higher tier but I’m not here to decide but I would put it a little higher tier because of the surpassing the identity crisis of most guitar shapes and practicality wise it’s easier to manufacture since it’s rectangular shape even though it may be uncomfortable to wear it while sitting so it’s a mix bag depending on how you use it but it’s definitely one of the kind.
I have one and it’s not uncomfortable at all
@@mohamedtlass3842 that’s good to know
I think the only thing I’d change from this tier list especially the KDH one is the Gretsch going a bit higher maybe E because I like the shape. That particular image wasn’t the best and also one of my personal favourite shapes is the telecaster. So that would go in S for me
A tele almost always sounds good
I love that you placed the warlock as your courtesy S! \../ I have a black onyx warlock extreme myself.
Since hes a huge kiss fan, where would he have placed the ibanez iceman?
I picked up guitar 6~ months ago and only played my schecter so this was a very wild ride. Interesting video though!
So I actually bought one of those ESP FRXs. Honestly, I am still not sold on the looks, but for the money, it was the best guitar available to me. ￥59,000(just over $400 USD) for a neck through ESP with Duncans and a Floyd. Plus it has the best upper fret access I've ever seen. The ergo actually isn't bad either.
The ESP F series is slightly more restrained (if you stay away from the tribal inlays!) and super comfortable. I have an ESP bass and an LTD (MIK) guitar, and they are top quality.
I agree, Glen. The fender strat is a dorky guitar. As for the dean ml, for looks and playability, it's an A for me. The only guitar I like more than the ML is the ibanez xiphos
How anyone thinks a strat is dorky but thinks a dean or Ibanez is cool is beyond me. To each their own but just seems like young elementary/early middle school opinion.
In contrast to their previous video, Glen and KDH basically agreed on almost everything and their insights are quite interesting... More, please!
You guys should do these tier lists both drunk and sober. Then you’ll really get an idea of both honest opinions and thoughtful consideration.
These tier videos are a ton of fun
Everyone is wrong on the JEM. That's not a carry handle. That's a knuckle duster.
I’m missing Mockingbird (a big A for me), an SG (B) and RR3 (A-B).
Bruh theres an official hummbucker strat in every series and version
You should make a tier list of guitar tops just for Glen.
Big fan of Schecter. Explorer's and the ones patterned after them are cool too I think. Rickenbacker bass...yeah those.
Metal players and all other electric guitar players have drastically different opinions on gear!
I am more of a rock’n’roll guitar player, where I like tones from about 1955 to 1975, and so I like most of the guitars from those eras. I also like some of bizarre stuff from the 90s.
I think the strat is probably one of the coolest looking man made objects of all time, goes well with a Lamborghini Muira or an 60s Camaro
Most diverting! Yours is the only tier list that seems to fully embrace the notion that these lists are subjective and proving it by having objectively wrong opinions lol. I enjoyed shouting at the monitor during this one
Ranking the ESP EX above the Jackson Kelly is bizarre to me, the ESP is like "maximum point and sharpness of angle at all cost" and the Jackson is essentially what the RR is to a "normal V" but to an explorer. The horn matches the headstock too!
The Reverse V is kinda good. I got my hands on one when visiting Nashville, it was weirdly comfortable to play sitting.
I am glad you are bringing the pube burst legend along on these videos. Just seeing Glen puts a smile on my face.
If you need a humbucker you don't need a Strat, sacrilege.
The Warlock is the best of the bunch imo, but i'm biased and have a white Warlock Extreme, which is a beauty to play.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Also, I like the Parker fly , Warlock and the jem.
Both are pretty hard to come across as a lefty like me.
In my narrow view, anything that doesn’t look like a Tele, Strat, Les Paul or SG is firewood.
I really laughed at the ending! You two are a hoot. But next you need to do an actual blind playing test. Hands and ears only. Then judge. The score would be way different.
Looking back on this, I'm a bit curious where you guys would put a Jaguar. I mean it's an S Tier for me, but I have a feeling your tastes differ on that.
Did they use a respected tone wool for 18:30?
I love the Gibson Theodore. The main thing is the color you picked doesnt look good with it. Black or red looks far nicer.
