ok guy

Lol i was about to report channel for copying your stuff XD.Subscribed ❤️❤️❤️

[@Hodlaz]

I have this guitar and love it, but i have one problem with it. The bridge pickup has very high noise level. I don't think it's normal. The neck pickup is silent. The signal is good from the bridge pickup, it sounds like an active humbucker, but it hums like a single coil. Do you experience something like that? You talk about the noise too, but for me it's only the bridge really

[@alyabougazia8262]

Please listen or review Scarab an Egyptian Death metal band

[@jamiedavies1305]

I have never even heard Nevermore until you mentioned it many times, was blown away by that DHIADW album, thank you!

[@FFox316]

As much as I love Dime he’s definitely got the recognition he deserves. Jeff Loomis, however, needs to be recognized as one of the greatest. Loomis has been in my top 3-5 influences since The Politics of Ecstasy. RIP Warrel Dane

[@DavidIkuori]

Totally agree with you. Enemies of reality have a lot of amazing riffs too… Nevermore will always be underrated😩

[@vidmohit4684]

Right? I remember hearing the solos on "born" and "final product" for the first time... changed my musical life much in the same way hearing "cemetery gates" did.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

@@vidmohit4684 I was early in my guitar playing when I saw Jeff do a lesson for the sweep part at the beginning of The Psalm of Lydia. It literally blew my mind - I didn't even know you could do that on guitar at the time because metal was still relatively new to me at that point.

[@vidmohit4684]

@@EulogyfortheAngels totally, I'm thinking of the video right now!

[@krogwaugh]

Loomis proved his God-hood by perfectly covering Jason Becker

[@ManuSDP]

Nevermore’s pre-Dead Heart discography is not nearly as celebrated as it should. Absolute masterpieces throughout

[@alexarchibald5321]

Absolutely agree. Every time I think of some of my fav songs, they're rarely from post dead heart

[@BalashToth]

I agree. Politics and Dreaming Neon Black are their best IMHO.

[@alexarchibald5321]

Even the self titled. Garden of Gray has one of the meanest riffs I've ever heard

[@ManuSDP]

@@alexarchibald5321 the self titled is also probably the best Warrel Dane performance. Sanity Assassin and CBF? Mean as hell

[@BalashToth]

@@alexarchibald5321 not to mention What Tomorrow Knows

[@Xaion6]

You know your badass when you can simply "text" Jeff Loomis

[@NeverWillWeRest]

the fact you hit up Jeff and were like, "yo what amp should i use?" is so fn cool dude

[@ZeeEm1991Gr]

I think they have been friends since at least 2011.

[@MrKrankKopf]

We need the Brandon Ellis Jackson on the show as well.

[@yonikup2865]

100% *YES*

[@Cyclotaur]

YEES!

[@DM-jf7pt]

IV been requesting that guitar for months, it's a beauty

[@krisania96]

Couldn't agree more!

[@davidyahyayan1886]

A man of culture!!!! YEAH!!!!

[@hirkkammett6342]

AWESOME!!!!! I still think Jeff’s sound in Nevermore is still one of the best metal recordings ever. All hail Jeff Loomis

[@danyeo]

Boosted Recto?

[@MetalGuitarist18]

Nevermore guitar tones was HUGELY credited to the EMG 707 pickup.

[@Samael_Morningstar666]

I’ve seen some guitars I want but this might be one I need. Jeff Loomis is one of my favorite guitarist.

[@Excellerator420]

Spent most my childhood dreaming of owning a black kelly. Discover Loomis in late teens and buy a Schecter last year to finally have a Loomis model. A week later in a twist of fate he makes a Kelly. My poor wallet lol.

[@rostamostmann9657]

The Schecter is so classic, it's timeless.

[@lordberly]

@@rostamostmann9657 Agreed, eventhough I'm not into Schecter in general

[@chrisking6695]

They aren't expensive, though. Definitely affordable.

[@jeffreythecoomer4714]

Lol 😂

[@WesleyKhalil]

Everytime i hear a Nevermore riff, i instantly reassure myself that it is my favorite band forever. Also, a full cover of 42147 would be awesome Ola! Not many good covers of Nevermore on KZbin.

[@ManuSDP]

42147 Is the only tattoo I have. Very special to me

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

That guitar is beautiful

[@roccanto86]

One of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen

[@TheCyberMantis]

The JP-2c is my favorite MESA amp. Interesting to know Loomis likes it too. He is a legend.

[@PeteSolar]

That is such a gorgeous guitar! ❤️🔥❤️

[@JavierGarcia-kb1no]

That Opening Riff of 42147 Is Classic Nevermore! Great Song and Video Ola.

[@HandOfMetal]

That white binding really brings that black ash body alive. Def my favorite Kelly model right now.

[@nckhed]

I love bound guitars. PRS said a bound guitar looks like a beautiful picture that has been framed. His statement made me love binding even more.

[@search895]

Metal guys: worrying about the noise from the pickups Punk rockers: SKRIEEEEEK 1,2,3,4!

[@nckhed]

That is true, though. 😂 I only like feedback when I can control it properly. 😆

[@search895]

@@nckhed Me too. A feedback is a great way to start a song but there are some parts where you don't want it.

[@Jeffmetal42]

The Loomis Kelly and Davidson Warrior are probably my two most coveted guitars. Really like the Ellis Kelly too. Not only do I highly respect the artists but their guitars are sick as well. Love Jackson guitars man, nothing more metal imo.

[@Rachel-rq7ci]

Agreed. Love the Kelly shape, wonder why Ola does not.

[@krogwaugh]

My friend has the Dave Davidson, it is fantastic

[@anthonynelson1699]

@@krogwaugh My friend also has the Davidson Warrior and it's so dope. He's got the distressed ash finish, the one that looks like a piece of driftwood? He plays about as well as Dave as well. Makes me feel sad and lesser, but I still love him. xD

[@CThompson17]

That's a damn nice guitar. Hell of a sound, too. Also, love the new set with all of the amps. I liked the old setup too, but that looks so much cooler.

[@EddyLenz]

Great demo! I'm more of a classic guitar shape guy, but this one is an exception. Love how that white binding pops on the black top. I was incredibly lucky to build a custom amp for Jeff that he'll have soon, can't wait to hear him play through it!

[@jparkerriffs]

really cool seeing you play Jeffs guitars, absolute monster! Nice job man

[@NickWebbSax]

Now all we need is the 7 string version... \m/

[@jswazz9264]

My goodness! What a lovely instrument!! Great review, thanks Ola.

[@florian_thrash]

I just love the Kelly shape!!!

[@henriq0176]

Man, this guitar is a dream!! You are going to give it to a member, that's so nice!! 🎸👏🎶🔥

[@8evolutions]

Thanks for the review! Very cool looking and sounding guitar!

[@TheStrykerProject]

Oh, yeah! Ola, I hope you can bring back "Coffee with Ola" soon. I know the 'virus of unknown origin' is still floating about, but hopefully one day soon you can bring in guests, again. 🤘🏻🍻

[@CarryTT]

As a long time Explorer player. The shape and bindings on this model are very tasteful.

[@grinder2401]

As an Explorer shape hardcore fun, Jackson has really hit it with the Kelly shape. Especially this Jeff Loomis signature model is awesome!

[@zacharymicah]

That guitar is so sick looking! The finish sells it for me!

[@robertmoody4056]

Just ordered this guitar brand new for less then 1k! Super excited to see it in person, something about Jacksons necks have always felt better to me then any other brand i have tried or owned. I got my eye on a Halloween orange solar next :)...thanks for making kick ass videos Ola!

[@netanelro]

This guitar is my dream 🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@SoulreaperWE]

Sounds awesome even on my fridge speakers dude!!! Also EPIC outro :D

God, how I love that unbeveled edges and direct mount pups. Should have reverse headstock and it would be perfect.

thats a piece of beauty right there

[@luckyluc25]

I never made it big in music. I've done alright. But back in Oct. 1997, my old band Hollow Point got to open for Nevermore, with Flotsam and Jetsam headlining at Bogies in Albany NY. Awesome. I'm still humbled by it. I might buy his Jackson Kelly as a thanks for letting us play out with ya. That helped us a lot locally where I'm from and I never got to thank him personally.

[@sauerkrautoneverything7807]

I've got the Jeff Loomis signature pickups, and they're loud af. So good.

[@CrushingAxes]

Great guitarist and great guitar! Jeff is awesome!!!

[@Gizmo-st1ky]

Great video señor Ola 🤘🏽🔥

That tone at the intro Nevermore song, might even sound as good as the original recording. Such a good tone.

[@HappyTooth5]

How wildly as beast !!

Man that Mesa though…………sexxxxy as hell sounding

[@willchug]

Jeff is a complete beast. My favourite player. I’m a mid 70s kid from Van Halen Yngwie Satriani Vai and so. Jeff is such a cool dude to.

[@Ali-tz9mw]

Gorgeous guitar. I want a Soloist in that exact finish.

[@macg6965]

What a BEAUTY of a guitar!

[@goatsurgeon]

Oh man that’s an amazing guitar there That’s one of those where you’d never need another guitar unless it’s one just like it for a different tuning That must feel so fast and sleek to play

[@justaguywhosendsit1589]

Never really drooled over a USA custom quite like this one but that price tag is steeaaaaap

That’s nutts for “2”. Really nice quality. Sold my old Kelly to a friend. Miss that old pearlescent K2.

Booyah! Jeff Loomis and Chris Broderick formerly of Nevermore are both endorsed by Jackson now! They could do a cover album of their favorite songs of any genre and we would all buy it! Imagine Jeff Loomis and Chris Broderick doing a harmonized solo of 'Tornado of Souls' by Marty Friedman of Megadeth! THAT WOULD BE SO SICK!
