Michael has a killer tone! Only very few metal guitar players can meet him, let alone beat him.
Still rockin for Jesus. Michael is an awesome guitar player and spreads the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Washburn picked up a great addition to their franchise and a great business move on their part well done Washburn. Congrats Michael sweet on your Dorsman
He's really a great guitarist .Seams every year he gets better and better .I would love to hear him play in my set up .Michael Sweet is simply one of the best musicians .God bless
I've been a fan of Stryper from the get-go. I saw an ad in, IIRC, Time magazine, just after they released their initial album. This short artical talked about Stryper, and them being a Christian band. I quickly ordered the cassette, and was blown away! Awesome rock. Been a fan ever since. Thank you Stryper, giving God the glory. Beautiful guitar, btw.
Michael Sweet has never received the recognition he deserves. Great voice, brilliant guitarist and a humble, down to earth man of God. I pray that he makes a full recovery from his cancer diagnosis. Also the same for Oz Fox, neither of these men deserve to have been diagnosed with this horrible affliction.🙏
Michael is an amazing player, his guitars have always appeal to me as the coolest. The new guitar I'd love to have one of those but again, listening and watching what he does with his guitar is so inspiring
That is a gorgeous guitar, really a timeless design. I also liked your cyan / black guitars on your "Against the Law" album.
Just love it , great job Michael Sweet and Washburn .
Want one now. The paint concept is amazing. Brilliant guitar. Cheers
Michael makes such sweet, sweet music. How awesome is his guitar. How awesome he plays it. Totally Awesome.
Finally bought it The USA model...watching this video is just too much for me to handle. Looks amazing man...plus I'm a Stryper Fan
Sounds amazing too with that ISP Theta Pro guitar processor he uses. That pedal really brings out Stryper's tone...super tight metal tone.
if you go see Stryper, take it to the show MS said he'll never pass up signing someone who wants him to sign his "Signature" guitar...
Wicked sound from that guitar! Nice. God bless
Everything in this videos it’s beautiful
Man, I sure wish I could afford to get one of those! It’s beautiful and sounds amazing!
I GOT THAT BABY WITH ME!!!AWESOME GUITAR!!!I LOVE IT!!!
SWEET!!! Definitely gotta try one.
Beautiful guitar
Great man and singer!!
Michael Sweet the best guitarist. His guitar playing is so awesome. He is the best lead guitarist, great singers of 80's till date. I love Michael Sweet and Stryper band. This band encouraged me a lot. Thanks Michael Sweet n Stryper
Nice Guitar great yellow and black design
Awesome ! Michael is a good guy!!
Omg that is absolutely killer
Metal from above!
Awesome!
I need this in my life so bad
I love this man...new guitar is righteous
I love my custom shop thanks 😊
That usb charging system is genius!!! That should be a modern standard on active pickups.
That is an awesome guitar man!
The "star" one he had in the "Walk" music video is my favorite guitar shape/design.
Wow, great guitar work,i didn't know he played so good 👍
Ele toca mais de 40 anos òtimo Guitarrista !
The old one is my favorite guitar of all time with randys flying v a close second
so glad that that non-usa ones have finally come down into the $700 range which is where they should've been all along.
I really like that look on the guitar. Really bad ass. I hate to ask how much lol. You guys are awesome!
Badass axe, love it
My USA custom will be home next week, thanks michael and thanks Washburn, and my wife lol 😂
Michael Sweet & Stryper RULES !!! 👍🏻✝️👍🏻

amazing
That’s a Bad Ass V 👏👏👏🤘
2 thumbs up to Michael Sweet 👍👍
The valley I love that song and let there be light I love that song also and more than a man is a awesome song
Hey, damn! I just ordered a Gibson Flying V, that I am going to try because they didn't have any at the store, but i see this is an beautiful guitar, really badass if I can use the term. Do these guitars come with the Fishman Fluence pickups already in them? Great! Stay safe out there.
sweet!
Man that is one sweet axe !! i got Fishman's moderns in my Ibanez Prestige (Japanese made), they really do shred, Congrats mike on your signature axe, i gotta play one now, it is a shame Jackson or Carvin did not take care of you man !!! i would've loved to see PRS do something with this beautiful guitar, but hey, no matter what i think, your an amazing player Mike, always have been, God bless you man, keep Rocking for the ROCK baby, your very inspirational, Thx
I can see why Dimebag stuck with washburn for 30 years he holds those guitars in high quality and now sweet love your songs ill definetly buy one of these and the dime mls hopefully
I guess I'm really just partial to his Jackson's, especially the Kelly from the THWTD era. If his RR had the Floyd like this Washburn, I couldn't decide between it and the Kelly. In any case, Michael can make any guitar sound great, lol
Should have shown all of your washburn guitars man.
Spectacular ;v;
Its a shame jackson guitars didnt endorse him....
These are one of the guys who helped made Jackson guitar famous back in the day....
good thing i got a jackson made in japan....lol
They had very close ties to Grover Jackson in the early Stryper years, but it is also possible (like with many companies) changes made to the guitar making process might have pushed Mike and Oz away. They once endorsed Orange amps, but that was not for long. They both went back to Marshall. When an artist is endorsed (which is a hell of a process) there is a family aspect to it. So going back to Jackson, Mike may have decided not to re up the endorsement for his own reasons. Yes they were very early adopters, but things change. How long will Mike stay with Washburn remains to be seen. The relationship is what matters to an artist.
Pretty sure Michael used the Kelly on the 2014 tour for a little some shows that guitar was sweet
Oz still uses Grover Jackson guitars.
Michael, what was the major difference between your new Washburn, and the Charv's?
Where is that first riff from?
Can someone tell me how can I get this guitar if I live in Australia? How can I buy this online?
Whos a better guitarist Michael or Oz? both are awesome
jecos jecos Oz Fox
That's not a question that can really be answered, both these guys are pros and most likely poses the same skill level, it's a subjective thing anyway.
That being said, i prefer Michaels style, to me it's more melodic and I just prefer some of his phrasing and note choices.
Niiiiice.Looks so "thin" from front to back and light as a feather.I personally prefer the Kelly Kind of shape to the flying V.I got an ancient crimson Ibanez Destroyer 2 like(or similar) to what Adrian Smith used to Play.Also a Jackson Kelly which was resprayed into a beautiful medium blue..But my fave is the Peavey Vandenberg which I had made for me last year by a legit Company (in bright red).Also an Ibanez Gio Soundgear bass in "candy " blue(who Comes up with These names?).that's my kit so far for Aqaba Gulf.My other Project is Headless Deathwish.Be seeing ya hopefully on the road in the future.
My Ibanez destroyer II was stolen back in the mid 80's. Exact same one Adrian Smith used. I had a Khaler trem installed in it. Loved that guitar. Still have pictures of it tho.
Love that ratty, midrangey tone. Boost the 800hz baby!!! Stryper, Akira Takasaki, and Ronni LeTekro have the best tones.
I’m not a fan of active pickups. I guess they’reok for gain feed to distortion, but I’ve never heard any dual purpose distortion/ clean pickups.
Batteries are for flashlights, not pickups. ;)
The important question is whether "Stryper" refers to a fish or a nurse in training. Only two stypers or stripers I know of, other than maybe a road painting crew.
in Argentina taxis are like that, black and yellow.
hey Mike just want to let you know longtime fan of yours and striper looking forward to your next album but unfortunately on this Christmas I have to bring you some unfortunate news about one of your people that support you Washburn guitars my wife a few years ago bought me one and at that time it was a tie supposed to be top-of-the-line she spent you know some good money for it and she'd ordered it through their their website and their company and when we got it it was the wrong vindicatorcuz the one she paid for was the one with all the bells and whistles you know whammy bar best pickups everything number one and it was Snow White no cheesy black trim or anyting will they sent me the the cheapest vindicator they ever made and on top of that this was a surprise gift to me and they send it to me with an internally broken neckand this is nothing that we let go that we let slide or anyting we immediately contacted them let them know something was wrong with the guitar we could have took guitar shop they told us what was wrong we sent them the information from the guitar shop that inspected itWilliam Galvin attorney to write them a letter to let them know that that's not a good way to do business and we've contacted them probably 30-40 times over the past I don't know 10 years maybe and they oh yeah oh yeah we're going to do this will do that and they never do nothing and you know they keep on passing the buckyou know it's unfortunate because I used to be a huge Washburn fan and I was really surprised when I found out you allowed them to do a signature guitar for you after what happened to me but I wish you the best of luck with it but I would not be putting nothing outthat's a reputable because they're not they they totally screwed me and my wife over it was a gift of surprise gift from me and basically what happened was it's the wrong guitar begin with the cheapest one they got they said she had way overpaid for and then turn around and it had a internally broken neck on top of that so yeah that was a hell of a present you knowpardon my French but I'm blowing them up all over the all over the internet right now all my guitar friends and my guitar people are dogging them like crazy I'm getting ready to switch over to Chapman guitars I'm not going to be dealing with Washburn no more and I just left them a nice cozy little letter for their customer serviceand sorry about the punctuation of this letter I'm actually using Google chat because my hand is actually hurt right nowbut I'll be alright stay safe out there on the road hopefully you'll make your way to Dayton Ohio would love to see you again man you're like family I feel like I've known you all my life you guys have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life God bless you and I believe you're a good person and I know you know I've been a fan of yours since you know to hell with the devil you know I loved the whole striper thing you know I was a motley Crew had to I was a testament had but I always had striper cranking in my car I love you guys you guys are like family you know I almost died recently due to having ulcerative colitisthe hospital gave me a 1% chance to walk out not only did I have ulcerative colitis but my body had gone totally septic because of the altar ulcerative colitisand I guess a lot of people thought I was going to die and God save me you know he he saved my life why I don't know but I'm grateful for every day now and listen to you guys all the time big fan hopefully you guys are coming to Dayton and touch some hearts you know it's been awhile ❤️
Does anyone know how is this compare to a custom 24 PRS?
Yep! They are very different feeling, but equal quality animals. Incidentally, I found this video because I am seeking this USA model to purchase, and I am going to part with one of my custom 24's to make room. The C24 feels "thick", heavy, and powerful; this guitar feels sleek, fast, and powerful. As much as I love my PRS's, the feel of this guitar may see those PRS will sit in their rack more often.
All of that said, you cannot go wrong with either one. Wanna buy a limited edition, blueberry quilt 10 top (not the typical flame)Custom 24 with Paul's autograph on it? :-)
If I played that's the guitar I'd have.
Love Michael. Looks like an Amazing guitar.... but Honestly... I really miss when Charvel & Jackson Guitars ruled the Rock and Metal world.... Anyone else? yes I still have my Jake E Lee Charvel :)
Washburn with a good endorsement pick up
Jackson is the way to go
Washburn has made some great guitars over the years.... just sayin
If I bought another guitar it would be this one.
😘
Thats the riff for Lost
He played Riffs for To Hell With The Devil and The Valley in this video too.
Why... He isnt endorse... .... He is one of the greatest..
Are you asking why he's not endorsed? If so, He is with Washburn and many other companies as well
I’m glad to be like #667. The 666 likes looked weird.
Amp and gear anyone?
He gets most of sound from ISP Technologies (He has his own model w/ loaded Stryper tones) and he runs through Marshalls or mesa's live. But he did say he used Splawn amps as well in studio at times.
A much better guitar than the Jackson V
beautiful guitar but the cost is insane for someone who isn't playing professionally. I really like Ted Nugent's sound from his Damn Yankees years, could this guitar sound like that with the right amp settings ? LIke a overdriven blues sound for songs like Mister Please and High Enough.
He has the imported version too, costs a lot less
Jackson has the best tone. Charvel and BC Rich.
sure at almost 4 grand good luck getting one.
yeah that's about the going rate for most USA Signature guitars. They have an imported version to, which is under a grand
Did you learn to play guitar from Oz Fox hehe
Michaels been playing guitar since childhood. He's always said he was a guitarist that also became a singer
Why do u not play Jackson anymore? Jackson rules!!
MS said back when Grover was still running things he and Oz had a great experience w/ him and that he would go above and beyond to get them whatever they needed, he said they had a great working relationship. He said when Fender took over they acted as if they'd never heard of Stryper or MS or Oz and wouldnt' give them the time of day. So MS went to Carvin and had one done, and he also played PRS w/ Boston. But Washburn he said came to him and really created that working relationship he had w/ Grover in the 80's. And they are doing some more MS guitars coming in the near future, MS has said..Even a MS acoustic as well
What the hell!? Michael is my first name and Washburn is my last name...
I have a fishman fishing rod, he
3500 dollaresss
that seems about the going rate for USA Made signatures for most artists. They have an imported version for under a grand too
another thing that I would tell you Mike is if I may call you Mike mr. Sweet but I've been writing music myself and my friends laugh and they say it sounds like a twist between striper and testament on guitarI just really hate that Washburn done me that way because you know I really needed that guitar and you know they couldn't make it right by giving me five guitars at this point I mean cuz they've dragged it out so many years now and nothing I mean that they don't even talk to me no more I'll send an email after email after email out I've written them you know my lawyer sent some notices and they're playing big corporation just blowing everything off and trying to wake me out well it ain't going to work cuz you know this web is a wonderful thing when somebody does you that dirty and you know they took hard-earned money and they they really crapped on us and that's just not right but I wish you the best sirand I just thought it was funny and it kind of reminded me that my friends have been talkin to me about the way I've been riding my music and how it sounds like a mixture between testament and you and striper and they said maybe with a touch of Def Leppard and motley Crue you know I'm very flexiblemusically I love it all but striper was always one of my main bands and I would love to see you guys come back to Dayton Ohio Cincinnati Ohio Middletown Ohio you know buckeye stadium you know we need striper Ohio needs striperand honestly I don't even know why I even told you about my problems with Washburn I'm sorry that was very selfish of me please forgive meI know there's nothing that you would care to do or what to do about it to help me out or anyting and I'm not asking you to but I just wanted you to know what kind of company they really are to us people down here on the bottom
Better dan skidrow

One band that I wish was raptured. What a disgrace to rock music.
