JACKSON JEFF LOOMIS KELLY - Metal

[@OlaEnglund]

Finally got my hands on this beast! Also friendly reminder about my second channel - kzbin.info

ok guy

[@ihatedill2447]

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!

[@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

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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]

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

That guitar is beautiful

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@JavierGarcia-kb1no]

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

[@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.

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!

[@florian_thrash]

I just love the Kelly shape!!!

[@CarryTT]

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

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.

[@macg6965]

What a BEAUTY of a guitar!

[@nickcormier]

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

[@sauerkrautoneverything7807]

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

[@MetalGuitarist18]

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!

[@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.

[@VapnFagan]

I wonder how these compare to the USA model. Been eyeballing a USA Kelly for sometime now. I own a USA King V and it such a sweet sweet guitar.

[@hawk6111]

Most higher end korean guitas like this one are fucking great....they hold up to thr American guitars feel and tone wise. The American ones will be better in minor fit and finish ways but not tgat effcts the feel or tone. 100% would gig with it over my American ones

[@gregbygreg]

Basically there is a difference in the wood of the body: while the korean ones use basswood with an ash top, the american ones have a whole body in ash. On the american ones, the frets are in stainless steel, and the gauge of the strings is .011-.060, versus the.010-.046 on koreans. Other than that, only minor differences in construction and finish, like quartersawn maple necks on americans. Sonically there must be a certain difference, but I don't think it's something huge...

[@markivanov1537]

That guitar is gorgeous

[@howiezeng7732]

I own a Schecter Cygnus 7 string. What I've found really unique about Loomis' signature Jackson and Schecter is the signature SD active pu set. It's chunky and crispy at the same time! Also has a combination of the feel of classic PAFs and active PUs!

[@anthonynelson1699]

The Blackouts are easily the best active pickups on the market imho. They have a clarity that EMG's don't have, but ALL of the heft and weight.

[@garonmartin1756]

Last time I was this early Ola still hadn’t learned how to speak in his videos!!

[@Karoug]

This guitar is on my "must have" list!

[@Jopeymessmusic]

I remember back when Schecter released the Loomis signatures. I was super into Nevermore but had only been playing for around 4 or 5 years and I was not used to the baseball bat like neck of an early days modern 7 string. Might try a solar soon though. I hear they're pretty good.

[@coffinfeeder7732]

I heard some people also had trouble with upper fret access because the cutaway was kinda weird. I even saw one guy route it out even deeper like a Dinky ha. I believe the revamped JL-7 made the neck thinner and improved the cutaway, I’d definitely be interested in trying that one over the old 2007 version.

[@Jopeymessmusic]

@@coffinfeeder7732 Yeah I heard about the refinements done on subsequent versions. I'd assume that early into the 7 string production cycle, certain things had to be worked out/on to get it to a comfortable level. Because although totally taken for granted these days, back in 06/07 there weren't many production models of 7 strings. The JL-7 still pops up on reverb occasionally for a fairly decent price. I'd recommend a refined version to anyone wanting to try out 7 strings tbh.

Damn Ola, that riff in the intro was tight!
