I would recommend getting an original made in germany floyd rose and upgrading it with some of the fu-tone titanium hardware as well as a big brass block. Its alot cheaper than buying a whole titanium trem and gives the same stability
@mitchavedon another option i would check out would be the sophia 2:92. Fits just like a floyd and you dont have to clip the ball ends, and their signature global tuner brass block is insane
I have a Jackson King V Pro, ( I don't use any tremolo bars BTW). When I was in the market for a guitar, it was between a Gibson Flying V new and a Jackson King V Pro new. Anyways, there was no comparison. The Gibson was horrible. It did not feel right and the sustain was mediocre. The feel was cheap for the $2400.00 they were asking for it. This is not what I remember the Flying V being like. So I took the King V for a drive and fell in love with it right away. It has EMG 81 85 PUP's on it and I played it through a Marshall JCM 800 (which is what I use at home 50 watt head). Heaven on earth is all I can say. I still have the Jackson 2 years later and would never trade in this guitar for anything. I recently came into a little bit of money so I went back to another place to try out another Gibson Flaying V thinking maybe that was a bad V I had tried before. I was just as disappointed with this one as I was the previous Gibson V. Could not locate another King V Pro in my area, so anyways, I ended up buying instead, a Smith & Wesson Model 29, 6 1/2 inch barrel revolver. Morale of the story, you cant go wrong with a Jackson King V.
Got a 80s flying v a while back. Brand new guitar, and it was horrendous. Cut myself on the 6th fret, spent a good 20 mins filing down the rest. Pickups squealed like a baby pig, truss rod was horribly damaged, and the tuning pegs fell out when I tried to tune the thing. Spent $4500 on it. Then I bought a Jackson MJ series Rhoades and fell in love with it. EMG 81s have a great sound, Floyd rose never lets me down, and the frets were perfectly leveled. Hooked it up to a Marshall 150, ad it plays beautifully
I have a Jackson Randy rhoades model with a Floyd and have had no problems with it, I love it to bits
I wish they still made this color
I was interested in your commentary; then you played...really well! Great job, Sir!!
Thanks bro, I really appreciate that!
Sick looking guitar!
The Jackson headstock is one of my favourites, for sure.
Thanks dude! Yeah it's such an iconic design
Awww...he mentioned me giving him his first guitar! 😊

Sweet dude, thanks for the recommendation!

@@happytimecyanide9884 I'll check it out, thanks!
Love one of those.
Awesome video!
Thanks man!

The fuckin JACKSON 🔥
the coma of souls riff 😈
Are new king v worth the 600-700$ price
I haven't played any of the more recent models but Jackson makes quality guitars so I can imagine they're pretty sick
You must have lost you little spring under the whammy bar 😂

@@phantomlord3050 That is cool. I am glad to see that I am not the only one seeing what junk Gibson is passing on to the masses
@@Irishlen64 had a friend who bought a les paul. Neck broke straight out of the box
