Alex Wade : Gear Demo : ESP/LTD SCT-607B

[@AlexWadeOfficial]

74-14 in Drop F. The high strings were a tad thick but the 74 in F on the 27" was perfect. Just the right amount of tension to get a sick growl on that low string.

[@lengthylad]

0:48 Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that The Saw Is The Law sounds WAY WAY better in drop F.

[@commentyoutube8002]

+Cutlery person COMPLETELY AGREE!!! I thought that from the first moment I heard the new version

[@floranquatz9177]

YES, you are in the right !

[@Pemdas2223]

I think it is drop F#

[@silverbullet1358]

Markus Scherer it's Drop F. He actually said in his studio tour that he keeps it tuned to Drop F

[@Pemdas2223]

Silver Bullet sry you're right

[@Drewsifff]

The tone in The Saw Is The Law on this video is so much nicer than the one on the actual album

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Definetly! !

[@tylercoons4185]

love how its "the saw is the law" a year before it was released

[@NateTEHbutcher]

He had a video of him demoing the main riff like years before this.

[@austinvinson6217]

"has a mean snarl to it" dude thats like godstatus dirty. sounds so good

[@aidanlonganecker9054]

I come back to this video for this riff in this tuning. Made me fall in love with Whitechapel and baritone electrics

[@cheosamad216]

Chug chug chug chug chug chug chug. I hate myself because I know its really easy to play but at the same time I fucking love it.

[@adamlay1013]

So something is only allowed to sound good if it's difficult to play... why?

[@cheosamad216]

Adam Lay It's not that something has to be difficult to play to be good but it's harder to find true appreciation for something that really doesn't take any creativity or skill.

[@BirthEaterll]

Cheo Samad ive heard alot of people try groovy riffs in metal and they can sound pretty shit, so to say this incredibly groovy riff and well structured idea doesnt take any creativity is abit below the belt

[@Quicknpointless]

simplicity I good...as long as you make it awesome!

[@TobyKBTY]

It's not always about how technical shit is all the time! Sure I love me some Obscura and Rings os Saturn, but at times it's just fun as hell to headbang or chug to some simple, heavy downtuned stuff. Even Steve Vai once said that every once in a while, you feel good by playing with a shitload of distortion and just running with it!

[@djake_marthall]

I remember seeing this video when it was first uploaded, and wanting one ever since that day. Well, whilst in Sydney for Soundwave, I came across one in a guitar storen and half an hour after seeing her on the wall, I walked out with, hands down, the best guitar I have ever come across (so far) So from myself and Lucy (what I named her) we just wanted to say thanks, Alex, for catching my attention to such an incredible instrument. All of my mates absolutely me and all want one now!

[@crazybadcuber]

LOL look at the awesome metal face at 1:30 HAHAHA sweet.

[@natbhyax]

CrazyBadCuber THAT IS OUR FACE WITH STARTS THE "BREAKDOWN! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:( ja

[@ThatPeskyDeathclaw]

If this is the sound Whitechapel is going for on their next album then I cannot wait!

[@xxcannibalxchristian]

The Saw is the Law

[@didtoknan8128]

Big respect for reviewing a signature of a fellow guitarist, especially when you have your own LTD signature !

[@JackCarver10]

AWW YEAH, bending in -1 fret :D

[@richhebden631]

Thank you for 2:08, just tone matched this with my Axe Fx and it sounds great! Also nice to see how much a good mix can beef up a song and make it sound huge :)

[@jeleopard]

I knew I heard the riff in The Saw is The Law before...

[@Valentineskidd]

This video is just plain awesome. The tele style is just... gah awesome.

[@SEIJITV]

I just did a demo of this baby on my channel, brutal axe...

[@BobSoloMan]

And a great review it is Seiji...

[@shatalg]

Wow, a reply from the master himself. Thank you, sir. I've been doing a lot of research since I've first watched this video and I've been kind of getting the impression that it was in fact a 5150, however the rest was a mystery. Puzzle solved.

[@armydude4567]

love the fuckin look of that thing

[@caesarlopez9778]

i have nothing to say but absolutely BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GetScaredGaming]

tuned to drop 900000

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

No better tuning. ITS BELOW 9000

[@virra98]

Hank Hill dude, i'm seeing you all over youtube! at least the guitar-side of youtube haha.

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

***** The power of propane and propane accessories gives me the power to be anywhere I need.

[@Mumakiil]

That tone is what we all aspire for

[@VoiceKulaka]

here's the tab for outro breakdown. 0000 -1 0000 00 -1 -1 0000 not bad but I think it needs more -1, lol

[@VoiceKulaka]

+Nick Myers Dj-1nt

[@georgefanourakis4560]

bro,be djentle

[@syllantshun9807]

+George Fanourakis Ladies and Djentleman, chill out....

[@TommyMartinezTube]

SHREDDer IFIC fretting behind the nut? Isn't that the prostate?!?!

[@petergerlich7912]

but -1 is essencially 1 as it's bent up

[@SergioCampos98]

If this tone happens to be a kemper profile, I will pay handsomely for it.

[@codydock6468]

This demo is in one of there songs cuz phil in his youtube has a teaser with vocals

[@shatalg]

A reply from the Master himself. Thank you kind sir, I was thinking about the D-Activators ever since I saw them on the ICT700, but couldn't make up my mind about purchasing them. Now I cannot but run out to the store and get a set. Peace!

[@AlexWadeOfficial]

Yup, but you can tune the bass and guitar at the same octave, that's what Meshuggah does.

[@TheJeremyTapp]

Sweet axe! Man that distortion was so pretty makes me want to cry

[@DenoCORE]

this is fucking epic !!!!!!!

[@AlexiLaiho0]

I can listen to this all day

[@spoompls42069]

2:55 WE ARE EVERYTHING!!! YOU ARE NOTHING!!!

[@AlexWadeOfficial]

It's a behind the nut pre-bend. We used the same technique in "Unnerving" on the "Hate will cleanse us all" breakdown.

[@DAaron67]

Still bummed that they tuned this riff higher for the song. Still a good time but I just think it's better in f

[@Thewarbeast1]

Alex you've got the ultimate metal guitar playing face!! Paul Gilbert would be proud of your guitar playing facial expressions.

[@jamescassar485]

2:55 you're welcome

[@SuperiorNizzle]

that guitar is a thing of beauty

[@M0nkiface]

Thats kinda c00000l

[@theSummerfight]

I've watched this video way too many times today. Great work! I need this guitar!

[@Blingz2913]

lmao when everything shakes

[@JoGtrackriff]

The groove & tone of that riff, man. Holy fuck.

[@Matt_Nor]

Which string set are you using on it?

[@iAmSpyNz]

man! that open string right at 2:14

[@taredmonkeh2317]

song sounds so much better in F

[@GeorgeSearlex]

I had to watch this twice, it just sounds so good!

[@TheKaneDestroyer]

Sounds like something meshugga would play.

[@SerjShower]

Not djenty enough

[@JzSage]

needs one more string and all opens on one string

[@AlexWadeOfficial]

I use the D'addario 62-13 baritone pack and add a .010 for the high E for drop A!

[@AsDaylightDies6255]

Personally, I've always hated this model, whether its ESP, or Fender. I love the sound though.

[@loudwirechapel6448]

I think i'm in love with this amazing guitar...

[@mitchdeathblossom]

Hi Alex, Do you mix for bands? If so, anywhere i can contact you with a potential project and pricing?

[@smkyka]

my favorite youtube video is the one that brings me to the home screen, like the one you posted.

[@Jerryleedlelee]

I should slap him for saying "the deftones" instead of just deftones

[@down7unedpc740]

I know I cringe every time gahhh

[@laynehaddox3310]

Jerrylee Stewart-Gonzalez almost as bad as saying "stefan" when its pronounced the same as "steven"

[@sacredxgeometry]

Y'all are idiots. Everyone I've ever known says *the* Deftones, and everyone I know within the industry who talks about SC either calls him *Stef* or pronounces it *stefan*. Come on guys...

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Sacredgeometry "stefan" is spelled stephen and he himself calls himself steven. Steven is the correct pronunciation no matter what for "stephen"

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

It's los deftones

[@kingconquerfan0015]

Oh yeah this was awesome. Will be getting one of these and also your AW-7.

[@jonathanpascal25]

A guitar review that mainly focuses on one string. Seriously? I'm all for heavy, but c'mon. I heard highs, but those were only fills.

[@ESPLTDSMITHY]

I'm thinking about buying this guitar, Probably the best video review I've seen of this.

[@deathcorewarrior]

00000-00000-0000...... LOL

[@PiNsT3P]

You forgot the 1 :P . 0001-01000

[@danielvalencia4152]

This song is great! Keep them coming Alex

[@WorldofFood]

Kickass tone out of that thing! I love it!! Awesome riffage, definitely song material

[@seanwilliams8174]

Got my very own about a month back because of this! I fell in love with it :D

[@josephtamborra1321]

Love the bending behind the nut!

[@MegaJakebro]

So heavy! Really looking forward to the new album!

[@Jakeinu]

this song is just fun to listen too as well as a good demo!

[@elementos94]

Youre a musical genius because your riffs make me want to get up and jump dude. I love you :D

[@PolDee187]

Kemper Profiling amp? Jesus what a tone..I'm dying ...

[@MrMetalhead95]

That riff is incredibly heavy! You should use it in the future. And I also love how the camera shakes when you play the heavy ass riffs. It's a nice touch lol.

[@keithmonkman4007]

Pick mine up this weekend. Can't wait

[@AlexWadeOfficial]

The Profile I use is a profile of a unboosted 5150 III into a Mesa cab and then I boost the Kemper's input with a Maxon OD-808

[@TheKickapoo69]

Listen to this while in the gym, BEST WORKOUT MUSIC EVER

[@bigblacksal367]

I'm loving the ship captain posture.

[@DoomsdayDanny211]

Stephan has the best guitars ever. Ltd for life. That guitar is so badass cheers bro

[@itBLEEDSitBREATHS]

Alex!! So stoked you made this channel! I can finally learn Vicer in its entirety!!! And by the way that instagram pic i showed you with my RG 8 string I finished it and its a bad ass axe. I took your advice and put D- Activators and an 808 x in it.... and now it sounds like im shitting steel when i play. Much appreciated, keep it hardcore

[@MetalxMasters]

Alex should come back and demo more of those guitars on his wall! :/

[@blazkorazija2310]

Sick break! best song on the album

[@MadSonStudios]

that was very tight and professional

[@andrewrawle8055]

nice behind the nut bend, forgot aboot those. awesome vid!

[@MegaJakebro]

I get chills at 2:58. So brutal!!! Good job man!

[@weemankyle]

tone is fucking huge and gnarly i love this

[@MrMetalhead95]

And also even the lowest notes are really clear and defined!

[@Griphen84]

That's a lot of sweet guitars. Nice riffs!

[@whaa777]

That sounded amazing!!!!!!!!

[@dmastroianni33]

Soo sick! Saving up for one now!

[@massivejester]

Will I be able to play above the 3rd fret on this guitar?

[@moxshyfter]

Jesus, I was about to buy an AW-7 until I clicked on this. This tone is just unreal... :o

[@AJC-666]

nice groove, and guitar. good job dude!

[@Ezziiee5]

Beautiful...

[@MicrowavesFromSpace]

omg, loving this so much. Grumpy Alex 1:30, almost as cool as on the Ibanez site.

[@Betweentheatoms]

Ever thought of doing more songs like this? because this is awesome.

[@Colin.W]

Beautiful guitar

[@KimchiBagels]

god damn incredible mix

[@HG15ish]

Well I guess then I'll just have to test it somewhere in a store! :) Thank you for the information, it was really helpful! Greets from Belgium

[@willis7452]

Structures have been doing it for years now and so have tons of other bands, but they were the first I ever hear to do it. It sure is a lot of fun to do though! my band does it all the time in a couple songs

[@alexjhonson5611]

Thanks for the tip alex. I have a Stephen sig 7 and I use 11 gauge with the baritone scale dorp F tuning is still in good tension.

[@fvguranias]

Kicking ass riffs!!

[@DannyFTF]

I ordered this guitar right now, looking forward

[@christam24]

sick tone!! and guitar

[@edstojo]

Sound absolutely great!!!!

[@BrianHaganMedia]

oh sick...learn something new everyday, thank you!

[@AndrewX66]

I nearly screamed like a fangirl the moment the song started.

[@edj8671]

Wow that song was sick!!!!

[@SynVenganceShadows]

the awkward moment when this is one of the best songs ive ever heard and its just a piece to demo a guitar...

[@tf1331]

youre one of the coolest dudes out there
