[@metalhammer5]

Set the World Afire..what an underrated gem..

[@thanosquill5542]

One of my favorites

[@mattjaku]

Tornado of Souls will always be one of my all-time favorite metal songs. The riffs in that song are freaking amazing.

[@baguetteboi1065]

Matt Jaku yeah it is an maxing song my favourite parts are the fluttery scale riff before the solo build up and the solo but my favourite megadeth song is either in my darkest hour or angry again

[@keithstoltzfus645]

Couldn't agree more dave is insanely good better than hetfield n hammer!!

[@MrRunescape1]

very impressed with your playing, even incorporating the spider technique Dave uses

[@shanem871]

That’s an amazing guitar it’s like $1000! I want it so bad! And by the way you should cover conquer or die since it was in the intro that would be great :)

[@Super.AmmarI0]

The korean made Deans are £1000 but the U.S made ones are like $3100 and they are a little heavier and better build quality, unfortunately I couldn't get one in the UK but I had to settle for the korean made one.

[@sunnychan2193]

I got mine from amazon for like 800-900 made in korea. its weird but the price goes up and down for this one on there

[@abdullahabd7677]

welcome back brother. looking like a true badass with that beard..

[@YLS8763]

I had a bad day a work today but watching you play took all my stress away thank you

[@rossmeyer7230]

your videos are the only videos i can sit through entirely.. i love your videos!

[@tiles3458]

I'm so happy you're back!

[@ThaFarm3r]

Best review I've seen on this guitar yet. I absolutely love mine . I agree it has to have 10-52s on it. Tried a lighter gauge and quickly went back . Mine is older like yours still has the cuts on the body wish they would have kept doing that. Can't speak for the new ones yet but if anyone is considering buying one. Do It! My VMNT DCR plays better than my USA Jackson KV2.

[@GunsnRosesfan2012]

Glad to see your back

[@ashen11x22]

Love these reviews where the owner had time to really play with it and know the instrument instead of stating facts out of the box. I’m with you on the 10-52 strings, the tension makes it easier for me to play Megadeth stuff, faster response between the pick and strings. Plus the tone is amazing.

[@davemustaine7504]

My favourite guitar video channel on youtube. You wait eons for the videos, but they're always gold

[@KaoswareMetal]

I got this guitar as well and although it's not as good as the jackson Mustaine model it's still really great. The pickups sound really good and the neck is quite comfortable. I only have 2 complaints: the fret work could be better and the bridge seems a bit cheap (there was a sharp edge on it which is a bit annoying for palm muting) not a deal breaker in anyway though

[@JP-lz4fp]

Kaosware i have the same guitar, more specifically the fear edition. the bridge is tone pros and not just a noname bridge. i dont know about yours but mine combined with the grover tunners it stays in tune for ever and it sustains for days...much more than my gibson. I agree about the fretwork though...not bad but could have been better

[@KaoswareMetal]

Iordanis P. don't get me wrong, i have no issue with tuning stability, just the bridge feels a bit rough

[@JP-lz4fp]

yeah ok...its just a bit surprising...cause mine is perfectly made no sharp edges or anything. On the other hand that doesn't apply to the cheaper version the VMNT-X which has a noname Chinese bridge

[@VicSellsPeace]

@@JP-lz4fp How does the vmntx compare?

[@JP-lz4fp]

@@VicSellsPeace the x edition has passive pickups and a bolt on neck. It has grover tuners as well so it stays well in tune. Surprisingly I found the neck to have better access to the highest frets. It is a good guitar for the money. I have upgraded the pickups though. Fretwork is...ok. the other difference is that the neck is maple and not painted but almost the same size and the fretboard is rosewood. Overall the VmnT is a superior instrument and looks more posh as well, but the x is very good for the money.

[@thearthurmartins]

Finnaly a man who likes both megadeth and metallica. What do you think about a gear rundown? thanks

[@bluejavelina5335]

id love one more demo but perhaps in a TUX or a khakis and a polo?

[@jeremyrw86]

good to see you back on the tube!!

[@nickgivent3157]

Impressive demo! Tone nailed, riffs locked. Pretty badass

[@gerardmartinez5238]

Hi LambChopper, i've got this guitar since 2013, it always appears in my covers on the background. I have always been a big fan of you and just wanted to thank you for your videos and also for showing me the Bias program which has been really helpful!!

[@NunYa953]

I've got 3 KV-1 Mustaine Signatures from the late 90s as well as a USA Stradivmnt and Angel of Death (USA as well). The Jacksons blow the Deans away. It's not even close. The tones of the Stradivmnt are incredible. The KV-1s with the LSR tuners and Kahler are second to none in my opinion.

[@rhapsody1979]

The end of the video was really awesome, man!! The sound of the guitar, the way that you played every note , i mean, great ending! I think it would be great if you could do that but with full songs, not just pieces, full songs of megadeth with no backing track, just the sound of the guitar, THAT GUITAR, which is the same i got.

[@bannanagonecrazy]

Love the vids man, keep em coming

[@ryanwright7545]

Good to see you back! Great video, very nice guitar. Loved how you played the riffs of megadeth instead of shredding like most other guitar reviews on youtube. That Wake up Dead riff will always be my favorite.

[@96rasco]

finally man its been a while missed you

[@Azabiker12]

Welcome back!

[@bestboy897]

Yayy you're back

[@DanielFantini]

Are you a big fan of Anthrax? I would love to see some covers of songs like caught in a mosh or mad house. Great review btw!

[@dhelsgade]

Man, now that you've played it... please do the Ashes In Your Mouth, Hook In Mouth and Killing Is My Business!! You're more than great!

[@СавелийРябинкин]

Tony...please make cover on Conquer or die...

[@guitarfpv]

I have this guitar but lefty, and yes you did a great job with them riffs!

[@Rithvik2001]

These things have gained so much in value

[@EpicWarDog]

I'm interested in picking one up. My center piece at the moment that I'm playing is the Ibanez Jem. I love the Jem... I'm personally a fan of Floyd Rose myself. A lot of people complain about it because they don't really understand how to tune it. You have to tune them following an F chord on the bottom E so you aren't chasing your tail then after tuning all of your other strings tune your bottom E. It stays tuned Forever and a day. But I think I'll pick up a Mustaine as it sounds incredible. Just isn't as finely made as the Jem.

[@timleary8279]

Sik. I just bought one. Still waitin.

[@nicolasperez7613]

Owesome,as always

[@axxion231]

I just put 10-52s on my esp m2 with a floyd and i had no troubles at all! Even with 3 springs in the triangle form. The screws balanced evenly i was surprised how good it worked

[@heshwuan]

Does seem to have a more "throaty" sound.. I like it.

[@malcolmduguay408]

May have the chance to get one of these, really hoping it works out! Had the ltd dv8r for a while and wasn't a fan of the neck profile so if this one feels bigger, i'm thinking it's going to be a good fit! Awesome

[@OctaPlus8]

he is back!!!!

[@mickhofman]

Mustaine is the God of Metal !

[@DrGonzo-kl9oo]

I have a VMNT (~10 years). What a great instrument... I am getting a King V KVT Pro Series tomorrow (been waiting a month for it to ship) so eager to see the difference!

[@LambChopper678]

Never played a pro series kv. I'd love to try one though

[@xxx1570]

So, KV vs VMNT? :D

[@joemoma8873]

One of the guitars I am looking for

[@dantrag2890]

how does it feel in comparison to the Jackson King V?

[@doanlinh9525]

i have played a Jackson King V in a music store in my country and i've owned the VMNT Fear until i sold it in 2018. Few things are different if you hold the guitar for a while. The first is the neck feeling: the Jackson feels a bit thicker (in my opinion). The second one is the body: the VMNT has the bevel on the side of the body and a bit bigger than the King V.

[@Mundellica]

That medley was awesome!

[@markp1368]

Nice to see you back. How about a cover of Conquer or die on that badboy?

[@shanewalton8888]

Agree with this. The oversized nut is the worst thing on this guitar. However the neck and construction is great. Easy to play guitar with those heavy strings.

[@metalliholic]

Dope medley!

[@DrGonzo-kl9oo]

Really dig your videos!

[@Andersondvaz]

Nice Riffs!!!

[@lizardking5264]

So now that you have a Jackson King V Pro. Do you prefer playin the King or Vmnt? I have the tequila sunrise LTD DV8-R Dave Mustaine and love it, but I often wonder if it would be worth it to get a VMNT or a King. Great review and you are in my top ten KZbin channels to watch.

[@LambChopper678]

I like the Jackson KV the best out of all my V’s. It’s got a really rich tone and it plays like butter.

[@maysplays]

In Wake Up Dead, are you doing the spider chord in the run down? 12:42

[@keithstoltzfus645]

Nice playing bro!!Good shit thinking of getting his 2017 flying v

[@flavortown5124]

Keith Stoltzfus I'm on the fence. All the new 2017 models are chinese; I'd shell the extra couple hundred for one of the korean ones, like fear or RIP. The one in the vid is korean too

[@nolansdad55]

Your tone is awesome

[@VicSellsPeace]

It's too thin

[@jal576]

Great vid as always...i see you no longer have the Evh amp in the backround. Whats your thoughts about the mesa boogie mini mark?? I was considering to get one or the rectifier mini. cheers

[@LambChopper678]

The 5150 is still there, opposite corner. The boogie is really nice. Highly recommend getting one. A much more sound investment than a rectifier in my thoughts

Love the sound of the guitar does look heavy to hold anyways I've got something to ask you and that is are you interested in trying to play some Death Angel as I know that you like your thrash metal just like I do. So have a think about it mate and I hope that you will do a cover by them soon \m/

[@doyouluvit]

very light guitar! My Jackson RR is heavier

[@calebbrown6678]

Im getting the hollo body v that dave has i bought mine for $11,999 and they only made 50 and its the same setup he had with the symphony orchestra

[@jesuislm]

Hi Man, I just bought this guitar used and I can see that the nut need to be replace, I heard in your comments that you change the nut and the tuning machine, I would like to know what Guitar Nut you use? and what tuning machine too? Thanks I like all your Videos. You have a excellent technique.

[@LambChopper678]

I changed the fret wire on mine when it wore out. The rest of the hardware is all original. I have changed nuts in the past and I just measure the one that's in there, width depth and height and search eBay. It's a common size from memory.

[@jesuislm]

LambChopper678 thanks I'll do!!

[@jesuislm]

Mine has couple fret damage too, it cost a lot to change the fret wire or did you do by yourself?

[@LambChopper678]

I do it myself but you need a few special tools. There's a heap of tutorials on KZbin if you're interested

[@jesuislm]

Thanks Again. !!!

[@MrGoozel]

I'm considering purchasing the VMNT Peace Sells model but i've never played a V shape before and i dont know the confort level playing sitting down. I mainly play strats and i would like to know how it feels playing comparing to a strat and if it is worth for me to buy the guitar!

[@josephtenorio4382]

K T weird at first, but it’s actually the most efficient way of being positioned ( between your legs ) but its really comfortable

[@jotarodripjo4449]

Are you doing a review on the Jackson too?

[@leewilliams3931]

You should review the mark mortan dommion next

[@BigCleverName]

When I bought these 9-52 strings I feel like they're gonna break any help with that? Also great review!

[@LambChopper678]

9-52 is an odd size, I prefer 10-52 for this guitar. I don't like like strings either

[@aidenseabridge6752]

if you still have it could you do a review on that black jackson bass

[@DavidMadeira29]

I guess, seriously, I'm not joking because of Blackhat, if the plumes are drown with real seagulls shit drawn in resins, especially that one seagull lasting the grand overture of open seas or it's just some color-alike spleen perception of mine. Namastè.

[@MrSmith-jj9te]

I have not seen a single vmnt yet that actually has a tone pros bridge. Every place that sells these guitars including Dean says these guitar have a tone pros bridge. Dean changed the spec list a while ago now it just says tune omatic under the specs. The USA made vmnt still list a tone pros bridge every other place I have seen still advertise both guitars are equipped with a tone pros bridge. Does anybody have any information on this? Does anybody actually have a vmnt with a locking tone pros bridge?

[@Elias.L]

Hey, Is this Korean or Indonesian model? I live in Finland and somebody's selling this guitar for 600€ and it's made in Indonesia. I think it's definitely worth that price used.

I'm looking at a Trans black Lefty VMNT going for an even $1000. So you think the fret wire needs to be replaced? How much did the refret put you back?

[@LambChopper678]

It doesn’t need replacing. The slim fret wire wears out quick for me. I vibrato and bend everything. I prefer the feel of jumbo that’s all. I have all my own tools to carry out a regret so all I need is the wire which costs about $25 and 1.5 - 2 days labor

I’m wondering whether or not I should get a Jackson King V or a Dean VMNT. Which one should I get?

[@sonnic1995]

Which model of the Jackson KIing V? it is not the same a JS32 KV to a JS32-T or a Pro Series or an X series, or a signature King V... shape is the same, colors may not be the same on every model, but the hardware it's different, (pickups) JS32 comes with "generic" jackson pickups which are throwaway pickups, unless you're a starter, they're not bad for a beginners. obviously the most expensive model comes with better pickups, that's why i'm asking. As for the VMNT it's already a signature (Dave's) so there's no way around it, besides tune-o-matic or Floyd Rose bridge and the color or image it has, every one of them comes with everything Dave asked dean to put on it, the pickups are Dave's signature also (they're called Seymour Duncan Live Wire). My recomendation is you should check test for the pickups, decide which model of the Jackson you would pick and check which pickups it has, and compare the sound to a test of the VMNT.
