Great to see a young person like you getting into guitar & the classic guitar music...One of the best move I ever personally made was deciding to try to learn about music & the instrument when I was about 16...It's been a lifelong journey, looks like you're off to a great start!!!!

Your collection is awesome and it’s great seeing younger people appreciate 80’s guitars. A good portion of my guitar collection is skittles colored shredder guitars. I’ve always been partial to them but in the early 2000’s nobody wanted them. Back then I traded a USA Fender Strat with a deluxe reverb amp for a minty Jem777dsy and rfr rg550 from a Craigslist add lol.
@@guitarbyemily Speaking of Charvel, Steve Vai´s "Green Meanie" was also build by their custom shop. This was before he signed with Ibanez. Pretty much all the big name players were playing Charvels in the early 80´s, before other companies like Ibanez, ESP, Kramer etc. came along. The new Charvel San Dimas and So Cal, Pro Mod models are pretty cool, if you´re looking for another classic 80´s superstrat style guitar to add to your collection.
@@guitarbyemily My niece has the San Dimas Pro Mod, "Rocket Red" model. Great guitar, but sadly Charvel doesn´t offer the neon finishes anymore. They do have a new model with a "Miami Blue" finish though, that looks amazing, it´s like the same finish that Porsche uses on the 911.
@@guitarbyemily P.S. The PRS SE having tuning issues, if you use the trem, is a very common issue because of the cheap nut they use and the trem is not like on their USA models. I would recommend putting a TUSQ nut by Graphtech, some type of mini-locking tuners and if that doesn´t help either, maybe change the bridge to a GOTOH 510 or Hipshot Contour. They do make a Floyd Rose SE Custom 24, which also has hotter pickups, that would be more right up your alley. Oh and you can do 80´s shred with a PRS, check out Gary Moore´s "Wild Frontier" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" music videos.
Awesome collection! My addiction paused at 20 (gave away a few over the years to worthy causes) and I'm pretty sure I'm done for now. Started out super cheap then slowly added my dreams. Can't have just one but if you do - love it for everything it's worth..cheap expensive whatever! Long live the Guitars! 🤘😝🎸& please whatever you do don't sell you grandparents gift...EVER! Find a song they love and play it for them and as they dance to it Smash the guitar like the true Rock Star you are!!! JUST KIDDING!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I JEST I JEST I JEST 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol 🤘😝🎸
Emily, never EVER stop collecting and you are on the right path with having specific guitars tuned differently, love your collection, I have a collection of bass gutars and variety reallyvgives a lot to positive learning. Thanks for sharing 😊
@@guitarbyemily wow...that's funny because waaaaayyy back I bought an original black one because he played one and I loved mine...of course I have 4 ESP's now....love the necks....
I have the same Bonnie pink PRS and totally love it. It’s one of my go to guitars. In fairness, I’m a classic rock guy and am looking for a different tone than the shred sound. Love the Jem guitars. Always thought about getting one but the super thin necks aren’t my thing. But you never know! Loved hearing about your gear!
I would definitely love to see your interaction with Steve Vai and any concert footage. Your guitars are gorgeous!!! My question is, have you taken lessons and who is your teacher?? Thanks Emily!!
@@guitarbyemilyWow!! Obviously you are a progeny!!! I am sooo happy I found you!! I definitely will be sharing a lot of your videos with my guitarist friends.
I have a couple les pauls standards- 1 Gibson 1 epiphone, an American strat and a prs ce24. The prs is by far my favorite! It's so versatile and easy to play! I have been playing for 25 years now and have never even played an inanez once! That's something i plan on doing next time I'm at the guitar shop though as they have just been so popular lately! Awesome collection! It's crazy how many guitars you have already!
When playing songs that are tuned down, I use my Drop Pedal by DigiTech. I can drop tune a 1/2 step or lower with the click of a button and it's easier than switching out guitars while practicing. Having said that, it's still not an excuse to not get more guitars 😀. I have a PRS Custom 24 that I bought a couple years ago. It was expensive and is a high quality guitar, but like you said, it's not the best for 80s hard rock. I already had a American Standard Fender Strat and a Jackson USA Soloist w/Floyd Rose. I bought the PRS because I wanted something between those two but with 24 frets. If I go somewhere and only take one guitar, I take that one. While not ideal for 80s hard rock, I can play it but also play blues, country, etc. due to its versatility. If I'm just jamming to 80s hard rock, then I use my Jackson.
no fair ....too many cool guitars i dont thing i have ever paid more than 250 for a guitar! custom shop???? a satriani too! your a monster! lol you dont have a franken strat??? i have three 5150, the 1995 and the junker...lol i call it the junker it is the one with the swtich in the center!!! and it is a junker for being new but it is cool gear im not the gearhead but some of it is cool!! good video!
I think that Kramer is Satchels from Steel Panther. The George Kramer has the shorty headstock from the Beretta. Pretty sure. I try to keep up on my Jackson, Marshall, and Kramer knowledge. Im kind of a fan, hence the channel name. 😁
Awesome collection!! I had the blue floral but ended up selling it...I miss it.....I ended up getting 3 of the onyx black Pia's and love them however I kept the one I thought played the best and sold the other 2 in hopes to get a couple of the new 35th anniversary Pia's with the Bonvillian swirls coming out soon.
You should watch THE ORIGINAL CHARVEL GANG. It's an almost 2 hour long documentary about the beginning of 80s hair bands and their badass players. In the beginning, there was Gibson abd Fender. Boring. Then Eddie showed and bought a body and neck from Boogie Bodies, later to become Charvel. It's a Must See for guitar players who know what a Floyd Rose is. Everyone is in it.
That is one heck of a guitar collection. 👌Congrats. Love that you are into 80s shredders. You are a rare breed. Do your parents play as well? If not, how did you get into guitar like this? Very cool.
Should find an LTD Kamikaze. I've had both. The original weighs approx 423 pounds. The maple body and neck are definitely stout. Saw it the first time when In My Dreams played on Mtv for the first time. Was BLOWN AWAY by that guitar. Was my first upside down headstock. I almost died from envy when I saw it.
What an awesome collection! How are you able to afford all of these and the gear? Lol My first guitar, back in the 80's, was a blue Kramer Focus 1000. I got it because it was like an EVH guitar, my guitar god! Ciao for now, Paul in Sicily
Grear video, i loved seeing all of your guitars , very cool 😎🤘, we have similar tastes, ive just bought a blue florem jem and i think its already become my favourite guitar, would love to see a video on your steve vai concerts, i met him a few months back at the Andertons clinic here in the u.k, super nice guy and very humble considering his insane amount if talent, iust liked and subbed, keep on rockin!
Thanks so much for the sub! I really appreciate the comment as well! Glad you like my collection and I just uploaded a Steve Vai video so you should check it out! You cant beat the Ibanez Jem!!!🎸
I always like the inlays on PRS, but don't like the overall design at all :) Seeing that you have either FR or low hardtail bridges, have you tried a tune-o-matic? I recently purchased LTD H3-1000 with it - omg, I hate that bridge, the angle, the height and basically everything about it, I can't properly play on it after such comfy FRs/Hipshots/Gibraltars :D Did you have the same experience?
@@guitarbyemily Franky style Strat body mounted EMG pickups, with cut pickgaurd, EVH hockey headstock. Lime green colour with EVH killswitch and 3 way toggle in Gibson location lol. My dream guitar :) my EVH/THRASH guitar lol all purchased parts. Have you tried making your own also ?
@@HesheR82 I’ve never tried building my own… the closest I’ve come is I had my Jem jr painted and I’m going to change pickup and Floyd rose!😎🎸I would love to do that someday!
Fantastic collection! Will be great to follow your progress in the future, you're off to a great start. PS, is that Universe an original from BITD, or the Premium?
Such a cool collection! Absolutely beautiful! My favorite electric guitar was the first one you showed, and I also really liked that last one. The acoustic guitar. I'm 5'1, and am looking for a guitar, because my dad's guitar is hard to play it's so big. I was looking at a mini tailor, but that one might work also. Does it have the same deep rich sound as a "normal-sized" one? I also kind of want one that can be connected electrically so that I can record that way. I'll be adding that one to my list of possible buys. My 18th birthday is coming up really soon, and I want a guitar as well. It will be my first one, so I want to get the right one for me.😂
Thanks! I think tje Washburn would be a really good choice for you! It has a great sound and it very small! I prefer it to Taylor's and Martin's, but I recommend you go to a guitar store and try them out!
Haven’t tried those! Now I want to see what they sound like! 🎸Don’t really like discussing personal info but I guess I do kinda have a southern-ish accent lol
Man, with those big long fingers, you were destined to play the guitar. You’ll have quite the advantage there, most female players would kill to have your fingers lol.
Ibanez has an unattractive headstock. George played a Kramer like that. The Baretta Vintage with the tilted pickup and shorty headstock is the best looking Kramer. Jackson Soloists have a very similar neck to the Ibanez but with a cool headstock and binding.
So Awesome🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for letting us into your guitar world😊 Keep on Rockin'🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤😁

Rock on! Thanks so much!!🤘🎸😊
Fun fact about Kramer, in the early 80s they were so swamped with demand that they had to contract out to ESP, so some 80s kramers have ESP necks
I think I’ve heard about that before! Pretty crazy! I would love to add a vintage Kramer to my collection some day🎸

Incredible collection. And your guitars are in mint condition. Congratulations 👏
Love the guitar collection, heavy 80's influence it seems, Vai, Satch, Lynch, all technical fretboard wizards.
Thanks for sharing.
Yes those are the guys!!! Thank you🎸🤘
Fun fact: the OG George Lynch Tigerstripe was a parts caster, that George build himself with parts he bought from the Charvel custom shop.
I actually have heard that! I love all the stories tied to the players guitars!!🤘🎸

Emily...just for info....George used to play Kramer Baretta in the early days....watch the Alone Again video and you'll see him playing Kramer...
Yeah! He actually has said that he really didn't like those guitars! Haha really cool that so many people have played Kramers though!🎸🤘

Yup. Satchel Kramer.

Satchels signature is actually a charvel! But they look similar
Satchel did indorse Kramer before moving to Charvel. His Kramer’s have become quite sought after on the used market.
Ok that answers my question!!!!!
Gorgeous
shout out to Dad♥️ putting in that OT!
Umm I'm thankful for some family members buying me some of my gear for gifts. But I've paid for over half of these with my own money.
That blue Kramer is killer
I know right??!!! Love that guitar!
Beautiful collection. The autographed white Vai is special, I'd be afraid to play that.
Thanks ! I love the guitar too much to not play it but I know what you mean!!😂🤘🎸😊

Hey Emily, is that the same Strat you used on "Love Somebody"? Between the tiger and the end of the frame? Because it wasn't included on this rundown.
Its my dad's guitars and I forgot to mention it lol
@@guitarbyemily I see.
How can you afford all the nice axes while going to college?
Emily don't ever sell your PRS because it was a gift from your Grandparents.
Why would you assume she would??
🤔
Ibanez has an unattractive headstock. George played a Kramer like that. The Baretta Vintage with the tilted pickup and shorty headstock is the best looking Kramer. Jackson Soloists have a very similar neck to the Ibanez but with a cool headstock and binding.
My guitar was stolen in Nashville it was all I had,,,
Aww I'm so sorry!!
You lack one guitar….. the new Harley Benton ST modern
boring, no Jacksons or Charvel, maybe next time
Holy shit😮ffs 🤤
