Yep !! We want more "My Guitars" section !! (... despite being a long time follower of the channel, I know a lot of yours, but I'm sure you have lots others cool ones we want to see !!)
I have the red Dean V that looks like the one Randy Rhoads played in around 1981 , when Sharon took his dot V so he couldn't have it for the Quiet Riot reunion! And that is that!
@@aarongrimes6490 because Randy was in Ozzy's band and she didn't want Randy playing in other bands, especially his old one I guess? So she figured taking his V would make it .........? I really don't know. Because he still had his Les Paul Randy under contract, and he played 2 sold-out shows without telling Sharon or Ozzy, that is about it! Anyway, someone, rumor was that Dean made sure that Randy had that guitar to play at the last show, so the pictures you see on the internet are from that show. Just something I thought I would throw in there since he was working with Dean V.! I knew Randy, but I never asked him about the guitar, but he did say he should have said something to someone before doing the shows. Taking one of his guitars was just a way of letting him know he isn't free to do shows with other bands when playing with Ozzy!
Yeah Sharon thought taking Ozzys clothes would stop him from wandering off drunk before shows. They'd find him passed out on a divider in the middle of the freeway in a big ol house dress and slippers.
I have the 7 string version of this guitar. I have wanted a V Select from Dean since I saw one in Macaris guitar shop in London back in the 1990s. I bought the 7 string one on pre order and Dean took another 11 months to deliver it. you simply cannot fault the necks on Dean guitars. I think that's one of the reasons Dimebag was such a fan of the ML.
I have a Korean made one that I changed the bridge pickup to a boutique inspired by Bill Lawrence l500, really well crafted instrument and very inexpensive!
Dude, Elliott made us in the D.O.A. so many cool limited custom import runs. And we ran rampant in the custom shop! My USA dean customs are crazy unique.
@@rottingcorpse6002 I only visited HQ once to pick up a guitar or two, but met w/ ER despite him being busy. Was a real cool guy. I don't really regret selling guitars except my DOA silverburst Caddy and Euro Edge 5-string. You have video of your customs?
Man I been eyeballing that guitar since I found your channel, that guitar is killer man, that and the stealth I been just eyeballin man lol...just badass guitars bro...
I just realized today that my Evo Special Select has push pull knobs. Fantastic hardware. I REALLY underestimated this bad boy! Got it 2010 at a pawn shop for $162. Tiger's Eye maple top. Had 3 small bumps that nobody notices unless they inspect the thing. I almost sold it. 😂 You basically can't find this model anymore. So happy to never need a crappy Gibson! ❤
Awesome guitar, ola 😎🤘🏻🎸 I’ve always liked dean guitars and basses. This dean guitar looks radical. I personally like the z guitars(especially since I’m a big fan of explorer styled guitars). And it’s funny that you call d.r strings doctor strings 😂 I’ve been saying that too. Especially since a former band mate of mine has been saying doctor strings when I was in his band years ago. Anywho this is an awesome video and the guitar sounds phenomenal 😎🎸
I have the Eric Peterson Old Skull V and it is a killer guitar. Similar to this one but with a black back, gloss neck, and EMG pickups. And the old skull graphic too of course.
Hey, Ola, DR Strings pack their strings in such a way because they intend for you to switch the strings, in that order, to avoid uneven tension on the neck. It's supposed to prevent warping or something like that. It's an old-time thing, that probably originates from when guitars didn't have truss rods or something. Also, I've heard if you replace the strings in that order, it won't affect the balance of a floyd rose tremolo. That doesn't matter, if you've got a decent block for the tremolo cavity.
Oh hey I’ve got the Brazilla Burst ML with a Floyd from that series! The frets needed some serious work, but otherwise the guitar is one of my favorite feeling & sounding guitars
Ola. I watched that Testament video you did. I remember you changed the bridge pickup to a Duncan JB because that's what Eric Peterson used. The guitar originally came with a zebra SH5 Custom.
The Dean mid grade V models were fantastic. I have the white Martucci signature V, and it is better than both the Gibson Vs I have owned. Slightly narrower neck than a regular V, so that took a little getting used to.
The way DR Strings pack their strings (1/4, 2/5, 3/6) reduce waste. I also believe that putting the strings in the order of the packs reduce stress (tention) on the neck (more balanced) and also makes it easier to get back in tune if you have a guitar with Floyd Rose.
I had a Dean Cadillac Select in the 2000s. A few years later I got a VMNT. Sadly, they're gone now. I've got a Duncan Thrash Factor laying around. It'd be cool to get one of these guitars and put the Thrash Factor in it.
I own about 15 guitars of all different brands, shapes and prices... For whatever reason, the guitar i vibe with the most is my Dean Select X Thoroughbred (LP style)... Its by far not my most expensive or cheapest guitar, but theres just something about it that just resonates with me and my playing... Under-rated guitars imo.
If there's plastic to peel, you can damn well bet I'm going to peel it! It's why I still enjoy pickguard making part of building guitars, regardless of the static charged router shavings that go everywhere, and cling to everything, haha.
Ola Englund is like Bruce Wayne in the 1989 Batman when Vicky Vale is eating dinner with him in a large room and she asks him "Do you like this room?" and he looks around a sec and says "I don't think I have ever ate in this room before..."
Haha, a friend of mine went into a local shop and asked for Doctor Handmade strings. «Eh, do you mean DR strings?». Since then it’s always been Doctor Handmade to me.
11:50 my Solar S1.6 FR QOB and my Solar GC1.6 T-FAB both have gloss necks as does my gloss black PRS Tremonti single cut. Nothing wrong with gloss necks if you maintain your guitars
Re: ear training - I find that my perception of pitch changes depending on a few factors. For example, I might hear things about 20 cents sharper at the end of a long day or when not well rested, and if I remember correctly, about 10 cents flatter when recovering from a night of heavy drinking - for my standards, that is 😅... So, I always need some sort of reference when tuning an instrument, otherwise I might tune lower or higher than intended.
I remove the plastic of the truss rod just like the plastic of the tremolo area on the back....because im lazy, I store the screws and the plastics but i cant be bothered screwing them back on if i dont plan to sell it.
I have one of these! Really fun guitars, I'd say they're comparable to Jackson's Pro Series in terms of build, quality and price. I've modded mine with Dimarzio clones by Jaden Rose and a Gotoh bridge
It’s interesting that Ola mentioned in this video that he loves the black guitar with gold hardware but Ive been pestering Ola for a few years now for a gloss black GC1.6 with gold hardware a la my Solar GC1.6 T-FAB (no longer offered) except gloss black paint. Or even matte black like my GC1.6 FRC but with gold hardware inc pickup covers. . Solar guitars would sell out of these in a week and would have to make more proving my point that people want this. Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘 EDIT: and, true story, i offered $USD3000 if they would make one for me and id buy 2 == $6000 plus shipping and yeah then id have to deal with NZ customs and pay 15% GST on top. At the time? I had the $$$. Right now im battling cancer so I can’t afford to buy strings let alone guitars 😕
Ola - is there any chance you swapped that bridge pickup? The Select Series typically came with dual zebra black/white humbuckers with a special matte bobbin. I use a Dean ML Select in several of my videos and absolutely love it!
I solve the problem of not having a space for setting up guitars, changing strings, soldering pickups, tuning etc by selling the guitar.
RIP
BTW when it comes to frets you have to tickle the nickel. They dent but that's when you know a guitar is good/played a lot.
@@CIRCLEOFTONE "tickle the nickel" goes hard (good advice too)
@@CIRCLEOFTONE Polish that thing into oblivion!
I did the same thing with my guitar lessons. I cancel them and get rid of the guitar. Now I'm full time youtube guitar channel subscriber.
Yep !! We want more "My Guitars" section !!
(... despite being a long time follower of the channel, I know a lot of yours, but I'm sure you have lots others cool ones we want to see !!)
well, this video made me want to hear Testament's The Gathering.... thank you very much, it's a great album :D
Their best imo

Love the My Guitar series. More please.
I don't usually admire many Dean guitars but this one is nice 👌
I have a Korean made one that I changed the bridge pickup to a boutique inspired by Bill Lawrence l500, really well crafted instrument and very inexpensive!
I have a Cadillac in the same color from the same Select series. Awesome guitar.
That look is so classic. Love a bound V!
Elliott Rubinson from Dean was so cool to listen to us and to fix the import ML's shape/neckjoint and the import models' headstocks. RIP
Dude, Elliott made us in the D.O.A. so many cool limited custom import runs. And we ran rampant in the custom shop! My USA dean customs are crazy unique.

always thought that it is one of your sickest guitars! glad to see it out
Huge fan of Dean Cadillacs as well! I’ve had two Selects and they played and sounded great. Workhorse guitar.
Man that baby is clean 👌🏽
The guitar sounds so good and looks badass!
40 so years ago when dean came to my town they sat up along side
Moon Stone guitars too at the shop that carried em.
that V sounds killer. I bought the Eric Peterson Z a few years back love those Dean guitars
A nice higher mid priced guitar! Selec series is really cool. I'm looking for a quilted maple top ml select myself.
Man I been eyeballing that guitar since I found your channel, that guitar is killer man, that and the stealth I been just eyeballin man lol...just badass guitars bro...
Hell Yeahhhh the Dean select V is my fav guitar of all time (besides the MLs)
Hy Ola, I also have four guitars from DEAN V. With Seymor Duncon . I care for her very much.
Thanks for the Video. Grüsse from Saxony.
i love bull terrier we had one in the family she is in heaven now had a few pit bulls as well. bullls are so great
Love the ‘my guitar’ segments 🎸🛠️
Definitely enjoyed the vid format. The potential to learn something is my kind of content.
I just realized today that my Evo Special Select has push pull knobs. Fantastic hardware. I REALLY underestimated this bad boy! Got it 2010 at a pawn shop for $162. Tiger's Eye maple top.

Thank you Ola.
Oh Hello to you too Oh Oh Ola. Thanks for sharing with us brother.
1/4, 2/5, 3/6 packaging of strings is probably to distinguish the string Gauges more easily
That’s really cool, I just got a dean z a couple of months ago and I love it.
Love ya from Florida✌️

What a SICK guitar, I just tried an ML select on Sunday, exact same finish and mahogany back with satin finish on the neck. Played beautifully.
i love the scratchy sound when moving my hand around the board.

More videos like this!!! Love that Dean! 😈
I like beveled edges on that guitar more than pointy ones and that headstock is badass
I absolutely want Dean V. They are freaking amazing!
If they Made a tyrant in that color at that level, would be bad as eff
Ola looking after his employees and let them have coffee makes me happy 😊
wow, There's a guitar I would love to have... really nice
Same, no idea where to get one here in the EU
Have the same one, it's been sitting in a hard case for a while now, haven't had much time to play.
Looks killer 🔥🔥🔥
no string strech? great vid btw! love for this series to come back
I played a dean z select and it was awesome!!!
What a good riff at the beginning. Was it a song or was it just a demo?
Oh hey I’ve got the Brazilla Burst ML with a Floyd from that series! The frets needed some serious work, but otherwise the guitar is one of my favorite feeling & sounding guitars
It’s also my first guitar with Duncans, and they are KILLER, I gotta say
i have the ml version of that series and its my favorite guitar of all time 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥
Dude that is SICK!!!
Love "My guitar" videos
I got Dean ML Select from that line and they are great guitars! I puted two Dimarzio X2N's and that's hell of a riff machine!
I have the Fishman Flue one. Love it in D standard 425hz
TESTAMENT must be played on that guitar! Eric Peterson vibes!
hahah Who took all your tops! Love that Dean btw! That purple Solar is sick also!
Ola. I watched that Testament video you did. I remember you changed the bridge pickup to a Duncan JB because that's what Eric Peterson used. The guitar originally came with a zebra SH5 Custom.
That's an awesome axe 🔥
The Dean mid grade V models were fantastic. I have the white Martucci signature V, and it is better than both the Gibson Vs I have owned.
Slightly narrower neck than a regular V, so that took a little getting used to.
I love the guitar! My main is a BC Rich DLXJRVO. Looks almost the same but has a marble binding and a headstock that looks like the Tower of Mordor
Replacement Floyd Rose. The one that came with it had super dull knife edges.
Really hope that Gibson lawsuit drama is over with and Dean can start making these again!
The way DR Strings pack their strings (1/4, 2/5, 3/6) reduce waste. I also believe that putting the strings in the order of the packs reduce stress (tention) on the neck (more balanced) and also makes it easier to get back in tune if you have a guitar with Floyd Rose.
Every time you talk about feel of strings I think Dunlop is has the best feel highly suggest
I had a Dean Cadillac Select in the 2000s. A few years later I got a VMNT. Sadly, they're gone now. I've got a Duncan Thrash Factor laying around. It'd be cool to get one of these guitars and put the Thrash Factor in it.
Hi Ola, when you do the next "my guitar" video, can you include tips for setting the pick up height please???

I have a Dean Custom 450 and is a really nice guitar, Dean should re-introduce this model.
I have a Dean RC7 and I love it! Thinking of picking one of these up. How is the neck? I like them really slim.
Ola Englund is like Bruce Wayne in the 1989 Batman when Vicky Vale is eating dinner with him in a large room and she asks him "Do you like this room?" and he looks around a sec and says "I don't think I have ever ate in this room before..."
Made in indonesia wow.. cool guitar.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello Ola 🤘
finally a dean again and finally a six xtring.
Ola had Cadillacs? I've had several - cool guitar shapes for sure.
Ola love your videos! Was just curious do you own any ESP/Ltd Vipers? Was curious on your thoughts on them. I just got one and love it
My MD24 has that same pickup. I have to say its the angriest pickup I have ever tried. It absolutely loves drop B.
Haha, a friend of mine went into a local shop and asked for Doctor Handmade strings. «Eh, do you mean DR strings?». Since then it’s always been Doctor Handmade to me.

tell us more about the Gibson Cease and Desist letter!
SUPRISING
Do you intend to make a claw shaped headstock for Solar, like Dean and B.C. Rich have? A headstock shape like that would look sick on Type X guitars
I have one of these! Really fun guitars, I'd say they're comparable to Jackson's Pro Series in terms of build, quality and price. I've modded mine with Dimarzio clones by Jaden Rose and a Gotoh bridge
I've said it before, I'll say it again, please will me that guitar. You'll likely live longer than I, but I love that V
thumb numero uno

Forgot to check intonation! But good vid.
Man.. I'm playing with a Peavey that a own in the pawn shop ..😅😊
I have Dean's, Michael Schenker signature model. Kick a$$ guit-fiddle!!
I didn’t like stainless steel frets when I’ve tried them. They felt hollow if that makes sense.
Awwwwww pix
You should play some Nile on that bad boy
