Matt Heafy's 2023 Trivium UK Tour Guitar Gear Rundown! - Stunning 7 String Epiphones!

Dagan had the pleasure of chatting to the one and only Matt Heafy of Trivium during their insane 2023 Goblins & Wizards European tour! They go in-depth with Matts new signature Epiphone Les Paul Custom 7 string & 6 string models, what makes them so unique, so individual and so special! As well as the 100w EVH 5150iii heads & pedals that deliver that scorching Trivium tone we all love!

The Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom Origins features a pair of custom-voiced Fishman Fluence pickups. Each delivers three distinct tones. The Alnico neck pickup provides a modern, active, high-output Alnico humbucker sound, a crisp, clean, and fluid neck humbucker sound, and a glassy, scooped, hi-fi single coil sound. The Ceramic bridge pickup offers a choice of modern, active, high-output ceramic humbucker tone, high-output passive ceramic humbucker tone, and a cutting, overwound single coil tone. These tonal options are selected with push/pull volume and tone pots. The maple-capped mahogany body has modern weight relief for hours of comfortable play, and the mahogany neck has a fast-playing SpeedTaper D profile and a contoured heel for exceptional upper-fret access. Gold hardware, including locking Grover Rotomatic tuners with Tulip buttons, and classic Les Paul Custom cosmetics make this a standout guitar on-stage. Available in Ebony and Bone White gloss finishes!

Matt looks like Dagans guitar tech...:))))

[@thelolguy007]

Learning a 75 minute set in 6 hours? That may seem possible for some people. But when you take into account thats 75 mins of Trivium songs it’s a huge fuckin ‘Holy Shit Dude’ 🙌🤘🤘🤘

[@PMTVUK]

Insane isn't it!

[@thelolguy007]

@@PMTVUK absolutely 🤯

[@mattjns]

In similar news. Teemu learning the Megadeth set is also mind blowing.

[@dboyskate]

Yup, their riffs ain’t no joke.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

He had to memorize the whole set in less than 5 playthroughs.

[@bimonsolivar8898]

So good to have an interviewer who knows his stuff but is also humble and let's the guitar player talk and elaborate, well done Sir!

[@nsp477]

First time I watch an interview with M.H.
Very articulate and logical way of speaking, which is refreshing given how so many other guitar players are unable to build a coherent sentence.

[@krystian_went8537]

One of my fav guitar players

[@PMTVUK]

He's awesome isn't he! 🤘

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

I saw Trivium at Colchester Arts Centre in 2005/6. Loved them ever since. Everyone was so obsessed that Corey is ‘the’ player. Matt’s since proven he’s an unstoppable force. Just a beast.

[@PMTVUK]

The whole band are just phenomenal aren't they! 🔥

[@MirkoFustinoni]

I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard or read in an interview that Matt actually records all the rhythm guitar parts in the studio, so... yeah! Lol

[@robertsay4374]

Oh mate - Colchester Arts Centre got some amazing bands back in the day - Anthrax in about 2003 or 2004 played it as a warmup show when they reunited with Joey and Frank. Just awesome. Was lucky enough to see Trivium in '06 I think down in Folkstone - it was a funny clifftop venue but an amazing show and so happy Trivium are still going strong.

[@metalheadblues]

Dude has a signature everything

[@bacongl]

First time I have seen the double strap. That thing would be a lifesaver for a Les Paul or heavy bass. Really sweet Epi LP. I would love a 7 string. I will keep my eye open for it.

[@chrissgardiner]

When Matt said "Gibson Les Paul Custom Origins" I had to double take 😂 The white 7-string model is so clean but I also love the original Black Beauty which is so classic. Such a tough choice.

[@bhuplaysguitar]

He's so thorough, disciplined and pushes the limit of his art in every day!! must be the Jiu Jitsu!
I'm ordering my sig Trivium Dunlop strings rn. . .already got the first black sig MKH 6s

[@darknessviking]

i love that he is saving out hair again also this is so cool i hope you guys do more videos like this

[@JiTiAr35]

only Matt Heafy can tell the difference within milliseconds.
guy's a beast.

[@clem_chret]

Honestly no :p

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Going to see them at Leeds tomorrow! Can't wait!

[@PMTVUK]

Hope you had a blast! 🔥

[@perryparkey]

Glad to see them running real tube amps!

[@sugameltpastriescoffee7186]

Matt inspired Kirk to switch to Jazz III and later James has Jazz III inspired picks too now, Matt uses Kirk's pedal, wild

[@DLeRoux]

Oh jeez, Matt is such a gentleman. Always.

[@kas4106]

I see matt I smash like button.
Cool guys all the Trivium band

[@kamucho]

I was at download 05 🤘

[@PMTVUK]

Niiiiccceeee! 🤘🤘

[@pressman1788]

Love seeing the guitar player being involved and answering all the questions and giving the specs, except for the speakers😂
So many times the guitar player doesn’t know what the hell is being used.🤘🏻

[@travisaus2689]

I'll lend you my revv 100p head etc for back stage passes in Australia hahah

[@yeti1002]

Matt looks like a 🦇 Vampire under the lighting .😮 great interview 😄

[@jackwld746]

Dagan reminds me of Lonny from Rock of Ages

[@Alfredo78666]

Somebody taller than Matt, that's a new

[@jasongooding987]

Take a shot every time the English guy interrupts Matt Heafy.

[@thisguy2973]

Not trying to knock it…but having an evertune on his touring guitar is proof that the stock signature setup may not stay in tune very well. I’m being nitpicky and I like trivium A LOT, however, observation of this configuration shows it’s not quite the same guitar.

[@travisaus2689]

Tell them to set them up before sale. .

[@DLeRoux]

LOL I haven't seen anything that Dagan has put out in almost 10 years., Dude looks EXACTLY THE SAME.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Who is the guy that is talking with Dagan?

[@harrison738]

Matt heafy

[@afxtwinreverb]

There are some letters below the video. Maybe you could read them.

[@jesterraj]

whats with the dual straps?

[@samwardonline]

So that he can have 50/50 weight on both shoulders and not just one

[@LocalMachine]

@jesterraj He explains this at 6:48

[@spacefx1340]

UK is not short of water lol.

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Especially not this summer. 🌧️

[@BeardedDanishViking]

Doesn't mean you should waste any. We should always strive to consume the minimum of resources.

[@metalheadblues]

​@@BeardedDanishVikingatleast its a renewable resource

[@dark666shredder]

is he beaten couse of the tour or is he high?=

[@tomwales968]

Matt suited the look of the Dean ML and Razorback more than anything i think

[@Thony_C]

trivium is a band

[@johnbeamon]

"millisecond" 😑

[@Loooosszeeerrrr123]

Omg 😱 wtf happened to Matt!!??he looks weird and baldy😮😮

[@wmxx2000]

He's recently growing his hair back after shaving his head.

[@BeardedDanishViking]

He thought he was losing his hair, so he shaved it. He's recently discovered that this wasn't the case, so it's coming back.

[@rat_king2801]

matt should stick with the shaven head
