2021 Gibson 70's Flying V Vs. Three Vintage Flying V's

Shootout between my 1979 Dean, 1975 Gibson, 1981 Gibson, and the new 2021 Gibson 70's Flying V!
Guitar playing starts at 13:56.
I recorded a rhythm with each guitar and then played leads over them with the same guitars to give you an idea of how they each sound.
The rig used is as follows;
Rhythm: VHT Deliverance 120, ISP Decimator II, MXR M77 OD, Kirk Hammett wah.
Leads: Monomyth JCM800 Blood&Thunder, Same pedals listed above.
Audio recorded using Two Notes Torpedo using builtin cab sim. Tracks are doubled, that's it. Everything is one take and off the cuff.
Enjoy!!🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Nervous every time he whacks the guitars with those big ass rings

I really enjoyed this video! My fav guitars are the LP, V and Explorer. I bought a Gibson 70’s White V today at a GC in Allentown PA. The guitar feels good! I play more classic rock than metal. I can make up for pickup output with my pedals and volume control, if needed. I’m a Boeing 767 Captain. I Uber’d to a local GC while on a 3 hour turn in Allentown. So far, happy with my new toy! The hard part is how I convince my wife I paid $299.00 for this thing. I’m 61 and still like to ROCK. I wish all you guitar players well. 😊

You just tell her it's a Chinese one with a Gibson plastic cover on it 😅

[@DustyBilbo]

That was a really nice comparison. Awesome playing too!! Rock on! 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻

[@theguntercollection9990]

Thank you!

[@JNewnew96]

Awesome video man, I am in love with that white V 🤘🏼

[@iainholmes2735]

Enjoyed the vid. I love the black '75 and the cherry '81 versions you have. For me, they look aesthetically perfect, and aged like a fine wine. Cheers from London!

Got one of the 70's re-issues at the end of 2020. Didn't care for the pickups at first, but now I love them. They are excellent for recording as well. Definitely a keeper! Highly recommend them to anyone who's looking. Great video! Judging by your channel views, you should do more videos talking about/Showing off your guitars. Since this one has done so well. You've got some killer gear that would make a lot of interesting videos

[@theguntercollection9990]

Thanks man! Appreciate your feedback, I'm going to take your advice and do some more videos similar to this one very soon🤘🏻😎

[@DeweyJHall1]

@@theguntercollection9990 welcome! You got alot of interesting guitars so you've got plenty of video ideas. Can't wait man!

The ending made it all worth it! BRILLIANT PLAYING!👏👍

Gibson shipped 1974 V’s as well as ‘75s . . And I cringe every time I hear your rings nick the guitars 😬 The black one is nice though . Rock on

[@xurxo12]

The white one, all the way 🤟🏽🔥

[@davidhall-4640]

Liked the sound of the 70s reissue the most, 2nd was the dean....that thing SCREAMS, 3rd was the red Gibson, 4th was the black one with EMGs. EMG pickups sound so dull and muffled to me, never understood why they were the go-to metal pickup because they sound very sterile IMHO.

[@jimjim7008]

I found the most versatile pickups for Gibson Vs and Explorers are either dirty fingers or 500T/496R .. they are monstrous sounding pups perfect for thrash and other types of metal. Very informative vid and great playing

[@theguntercollection9990]

The Dirty Fingers are some of my fav Gibson pups as well🤘🏻😎

[@USMC_BABE38]

Which flying v should I get

[@USMC_BABE38]

I want one with p90s

[@jimjim7008]

@@USMC_BABE38 depends on your style of playing. If you want it for hard rock/metal then get the one with 500T/496R. I don't think Gibson sell those anymore you have to get them secondhand

[@davidhamelin4164]

Just bought the 70’s , would you mind telling me which pickup covers fit on these Humbuckers? I’m in Canada also & Looking to put white knobs and rings like you did. Thanks!

[@jeffanderson8384]

Beautiful collection! Would love to hear more about those B.C. Rich Bich's.

[@andrewtate8303]

V,s are cool 🤘

[@tonyrobbins1665]

I winced 😖 every time I heard the rings on your fingers bang onto the guitar bodies 😏

[@theguntercollection9990]

Why? Theyre mine not yours lol

[@tonyrobbins1665]

I know the gibsons are more coveted? But I would take the Dean for sure !

[@pissonguitarcenter8204]

Dean Vs with no repairs are getting very hard to find these days... you have good taste.

[@legatomisterioso7]

An idea where one could find one of those late 70s dean flying v’s in cherry as you showed in video? Would love to get myself one

[@theguntercollection9990]

They're not easy to find, keep an eye on Ebay, Reverb, local markets.. they pop up occasionally!

[@thorstenriedel3152]

Next door neighbour, playin killerguitar..........awesome and Kind regards from Germany

[@tomanderson798]

I just got my 70s throwback Gibson V and I’m wondering??? it looks identical to the flying V James Hetfield started out with did Gibson basically just copy that guitar which I know wasn’t a Gibson but when James bought it he thought it was after looking at a bunch of photos of his original white V it appears to be almost exactly the same as the Gibson 70s throwback anybody have any thoughts on that?

[@Newbomb_Turks_Punch]

Het’s was a knockoff V made in Japan. Gibson was the original designer of the V.

[@thorstenriedel3152]

Wow, really great.....i have a Harley Benton Flying V

[@metriffs]

Seems impossible to find a 70s tribute these days. Really want one.

[@hermitcrustacean9965]

As per the video, you can tell his favorite guitar shape is the firebird

[@snuffy166]

i wonder if that is my old zakk wylde buzzsaw. sold it to a guy in canada

For me?? It's the 900lb single humbucker sunburst cream guard in the room.😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍😍🥰😍 I'm assuming that's a Dean. Whatever it is,..?...?..I must have it!!😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰 One of the most beautiful explorer style guitars my eyes have ever seen.

That's my Banker Excalibur prototype

[@theariesexperiment4642]

@@theguntercollection9990 Brother that thing is a work of art. For me,...the single hum set up is golden anyway. But you give me a perfect burst on an explorer body with a single hum!!!!! OMG!!! Please do a video on that thing. Its absolutely unreal. Never heard of Banker Guitars. Would love to know more about them. Thank you so much for responding my friend. Very rare these days. You have wonderful evening brother. P.S. They couldn't have chose a better name for that beast.👍🇺🇸😆

Nice, keep smacking those rings off your guitars

I most certainly will. Thanks for watching!

I will

Amazing guitars there

[@theguntercollection9990]

Thanks, yeah I'm definitely learning as I go. I finally bought a mic for speaking parts so shouldnt be any echo going forward ;) The Mod Shop guitar has stock 70's tribute pups btw, I added the covers myself.

Thousands of dollars of equipment and you can't spring for a $50 wireless lapel mic?

Hard to think of everything, I'm new to this. Have a decent $200 one now. Thanks for watching!

You should remove your jowels.It's not very good for the paint.

[@ITSHAA-yn5zc]

Those “70’s” V’s are a complete joke and Gibson should be ashamed of themselves. That headstock makes me wanna vomit profusely. I’ll take my real 82 any day.
