Schecter Blackjack V. Looks better with gold hardware. Review and almost fail. Merry Christmas.

[@GregoryCroney]

Congrats killer guitar those early Korean made schecter are very well made

[@Larryjo194]

@GregoryCroney They were, and I believe almost all Korean guitars that I have played within the past 20 years were great. When I see the made in Korea stamp on the back of a fairly cheap guitar than I get a little bit happier. Thanks for the comment. Take care.

[@lfader]

@@Larryjo194 that stamp can make or break 4me Use to think USA MIJ MIM then the rest no go My Indonesian HOLT FR is intense butter/ muscle ALWAYS in tune 🙏 Hear dudes loving Epi Korea also

[@Larryjo194]

@lfader I have several guitars that are made in Indonesia. In fact, the Esp Arrow 1000 that I did a review on was made there, and it is great. I just feel a little better when it says Made in Korea, and it is under 500 bucks. Thanks for the comment. Keep them coming. Take care, brother.

[@lfader]

@Larryjo194 bro since I got you here I'm trying to decide and pull the trigger I've been saving for a Jackson SL you know there's the one two and then the threes MIJ and on craigslist I've run across a soloist pro SL2 FM m a h (money is way doable) Do you have any idea of this guitar It specs out insanely righteous and it's got a nice ebony fretboard probably Macassar That's a great ebony wood I love it but do you have any knowledge of that Jax and there's so many different model Jacksons I get lost from the day it was just Jeff Hanneman that black SL1 and I've always wanted one of those although ESP 1987 reissue M1 without the inlays is basically what he had when he jumped to ESP and had all his signatures done with ESP I played some JS Jksn @Guitar center some months back They had about six different They were all nope ....had the rhodes natural top they had some strats The JS they look like you could gut them and load them up but for some reason they just didn't have the feel or mojo anyway thanks for the quick reply I appreciate it but yeah Korea is better than Indonesia my 24 Custom SE PRS Floyd Rose's korea ridiculous fast holds tune diving 👍💥

I've always wanted a V. Brent Hinds looks so cool playing those things live.

[@Larryjo194]

@jbank7547 I had the Epiphone Galactikan Explorer. I didn't like that the Floyd was set that you could never pull up on it. Other than that, it was cool. I changed the pickups in it. And sold it to a very talented young guitarist in LA. Thanks for the comment. Take care, brother.

[@Larryjo194]

@jbank7547 Dude. I know Mastadon, of course, but I thought you meant Brandon Small of Dethklok. I never knew Mastodons guitarists' names. My bad. No disrespect, brother.

[@jbank7547]

@@Larryjo194 I just checked out dethklok, and that stuff is awesome! thank you for introducing me to a new band! (if only accidental, haha)

[@Larryjo194]

@jbank7547 That is great. I loved them on comedy central back in the day. He's awesome. Take care.

The cheapest way to cutdown echo in a garage is rugs. Carpet absorbs echo really well. Bare cement floor is horrible for echo.

[@zipchtkdn7804]

Im liking matte finish alot thrde days

[@Larryjo194]

I like pretty much most of the different textures. Thanks for the comment. Take care.

[@reneemartinez7909]

Just recently came across your content. I like your method of review. the beauty of playing guitar is the addiction of never having enough guitars. Every one has that personal taste. The v style guitar is my fav all styles. I have an schecter evil twin, ltd arrow 1000 and 200. a RR V and Kramer nite. future purchase of course are more v style don't know which but the best used bargain I find. Most of my guitars I bought used. so far so good. I do have other styles but the V is the fav to play. Ebay sells inexpensive wall sound foam. worked wonders in my music room. keep up the good work. Happy new Year.

[@Larryjo194]

@reneemartinez7909 Thank you. That is a good idea. Let me know what you are looking for, and maybe I can locate it for you. I buy mostly used also. And I am always on the hunt for something interesting on the web. Thanks so much for your kind words. Some people don't like that it is just me, my guitar, and an amp. But I want to show that I have no smoking mrrors or plugins that make me sound like anyone. It is just me, with my occasional mistakes. Take care, and thanks for the comment. I do this for people like you. Happy New Year.

[@mikebunzey3146]

Smoking deal get it! I want to hear more of your noodleing!🤘👍

[@Larryjo194]

@mikebunzey3146 I actually have a video of how I play. And a video of how I trained my pinky finger to work in unison with my other fingers. Let me know if you are interested, and I can send you the link. But they are out there on my channel, but they got very little hits. Take care.

[@sinakaedwards2009]

Merry Christmas dude.

[@Larryjo194]

@sinakaedwards2009 Merry Christmas back at you. And Happy New Year. Take care, brother.

[@guntotinguy16]

I have the whitish creme colored version of this...bought it used and it was never played by the prior owner...mine has SD blackouts tuned to D# and it absolutely rips. I like the gold on black...really makes it pop.

[@Larryjo194]

Great guitar. Whether cream or black. Yep. The gold does make it pop.

[@Zombie_13x33]

the gold bridge makes it look sweet! its got the same vibe as the esp or ltd eclipse. very cool man! i posted a video the other day and it has a side by side tone comparison of all my guitars. its boring but i had fun making itjust to see how close all my guitars sound to one another. my king v is the only one that sounds different at all and its very little lol. im only telling you this so, if you want you can go look at what guitars i have and whats done to them. i put sub ttile type things in mentioning parts and mods. i even compare the emg 9v vs 24v mod and it sounds the same lol. oh, also. the video and audio quality isnt the best either but your welcome to check it out and leave some opinions, IF you want to of course. have a good holiday dude!

[@Larryjo194]

@Zombie_13x33 I will check them out, of course. I am always curious about these things. Merry Christmas, dude.

[@shnicx]

I hate that flare of the matte finish, except that guitar looking very cool. Greetings from Turkiye man.

[@Larryjo194]

@shnicx I don't love the matte. And it starts to shine if you bug the matte a lot. But the matte fits this guitar pretty well. Thanks for the comment. Have a lamacun for me, brother.

@POLARIS2 Thanks, brother. I have had people complain before. I try to control it. Thanks for the support and comment. Take care.

[@lfader]

Dude what's your jam rig ? That tone w echo + sustain is badass (crib friendly) Wicked bang for you buck fiddle w EMGs +binded neck ....👍

[@Larryjo194]

@lfader I use the Positive Grid Spark Go. I uploaded my settings to the tonecloud. The name is Larryjo rhythm. Thanks so much. The garage adds unwanted echo that is not flattering to my chaotic playing. But it is out there if you want to download it. Check out my other videos. Take care, brother. Merry Christmas.

[@mikebunzey3146]

I second that!👽that riff was firebreathing!😤👹💀😾!!

[@Larryjo194]

@mikebunzey3146 Thank you, I am humbled. Most of the time, I am just going off the top of my head on what I think sounds cool. Thanks again. Take care, brother. Let me know something that you are curious about in my style, and I will do a video of what I do. I can't guarantee it will help, but I can try. I don't do instructional videos because I took a lot of crap from the 2 that I did.

[@mikebunzey3146]

@Larryjo194 I'm in la too wish we could jam! I hear the fist riff of this video and it reminded me of old school savatage with that echo! Luv it! So how much is your rig?and how is it setup? Is that the amp on top of that speaker?I'm a apartment dweller and that looks perfect. .thanks!

[@Larryjo194]

@mikebunzey3146 Actually, I loved edge of thorns. I think it is brilliant. I have a Positive Grid Spark Go, tiny amp, but it connects to the tone website, and you can download complete settings It is really cool. And that is plugged into the Positive grid Spark Cab. I think they are a perfect match. That setting I downloaded and adjusted for how I it and it came out good. I will be doing a video soon where I will be in a spot in LA. I will go into more detail in the video. But the Go is perfect for an apartment, and the cab can be turned down also. Thanks for the comment. Take care, brother.

[@sinakaedwards2009]

The one thing I don't like about the Schecter Vs is how they are not symmetrical. The fact that the low E side of the body meets the neck closer to the headstock than the high E side does. I like the King V best of all guitars, but I think Gibson may have the best V design. I think being a big Dave Mustain and Megadeth fan really influences my choice of guitar. You have a really nice guitar collection for someone that isn't a youtuber or traveling musician. Epiphone made a V around 2000 called the Demon V, have you ever checked one out? It has the banana headstock and is a Rhodes V. Also, they made a V2 which is a version of the V with a banana headstock. I think the V2 came with a Khaler trem.

[@Larryjo194]

@sinakaedwards2009 You are right they aren't symmetrical. I didn't go into that in the video because I think I am just used to it. Obviously, I am a huge fan of Mustaine and Megadeth. But I also like a lot of the 80s guys that played V guitar. Stryper, Michael Schenker, Dany Spitz. I always loved Vs. And just like you, it seems I gravitated to the King Style with the pointed wings. I had a Gibson V back in the day, but I didn't love it, and I needed money at the time and sold it. Actually, the Dean Straight six that I have plays better than any Gibson V that I have ever touched. I had serious money problems when I was military, and maybe I am trying to make up for that. I have seen that Epiphone V. It looks interesting, but the hockey stick headstock on a V body like that just turns me off. It doesn't look right. Thanks for the comment it is always appreciated. Obviously, I like talking. Take care, brother.

[@sinakaedwards2009]

The binding looks gold the same as the bridge. May just be the way it looks on the video. I am not a fan of gold hardware, but the binding makes it work on this guitar. Gold pickup covers might look good.

[@duncandistortion]

Nickel & Chrome hardware for me,gold gets pitted/tarnishes & anodized black looks pretty crap when worn.

[@Larryjo194]

@duncandistortion True, but I try to take care of my guitars, so that doesn't happen too quickly. Thanks for the comment. Take care.
