I actually like the Gibson Modern Flying V in Ebony Prism color. The guitar looks bad ass! It's refreshing to see old companies like Gibson [and Fender] do a "modern take" on a classic design such as the Flying V guitar. Fanboys just need to chill the fk out. Furthermore, I would buy both Modern V and Razor Blade guitars.

@@travelinman482 thats totally fair. My only issue with an axe- sorry, razor of that style is that it must not be comfortable to play while sitting down (unless it's slide style). I also don't personally like the style and think its gimmicky, but my opinion is invalidated by the fact that I play an 8 string guitar lol. and about the artist: his music isn't my taste, which is fine, but it doesn't help that MGK's been very against Corey Taylor for not wanting to be a part of his album. That and he doesn't think wearing sneakers are metal. Basically, he comes fresh into the genre and starts throwing shade at some of the more rightfully renowned names.

Just to provide some extra context regarding the artist & why the public have labeled this guitar as tasteless (and potentially promoting self harm) MGK started out his career as a rapper, but in the last few years has transitioned fully into pop punk & emo music, which has a long history of referencing self harm in lyrics. MGK himself has released songs with lyrics that reference self harm since making this transition. So this isn't really a signature guitar for a rap artist who just "likes to shave," this is the signature guitar of one of the most successful emo artists in recent years. So the public reaction that this guitar may promote self harm has much more validity to it than it might initially seem. I think this is a pretty tasteless move from Schecter, unfortunately.

[@Cheddarfather]

Not only is it kinda dumb as hell even if it wasn't self harm and just trying to look edgy, but god damn releasing a guitar that is directly linked to self harm is fucking wild to me.

Yes, it's a very different conversation if it says GWAR on the headstock, and has cartoonish blood on the edge. Equally stupid, but perfectly acceptable by the metal community. MGK's curse is that he went from being a racial outsider to a cultural outsider. Music fans are FILLED with hate for anything remotely different than themselves, and it's nothing short of pathetic. The guitar is stupid, but so are the majority of other guitars. Like what you like, and move on, yeah?

Salutations Austin! Despite the quality control issues, this guitar does bring to mind the cover of Judas Priest’s “British Steel” which was one of their first commercially successful albums in the USA 🇺🇸 and featured such hits as “Breaking The Law”, Metal Gods”, and “Living After Midnight”, if this guitar featured the Judas Priest logo printed diagonally across the blade and the British Steel on opposite corners of the “blade”, it would very likely be more popular with Judas Priest’s fans than with Machine Gun Kelly’s fans, it’s definitely a missed opportunity for Schecter, however, it was built to Machine Gun Kelly’s specifications. Schecter could easily build another line of these for Judas Priest’s fans by just printing the faceplate differently to match the British Steel album cover. Someone else suggested that Eric Clapton could use this instrument to perform “ Cocaine” with. It also would have been very fashionable back in the seventies when that substance was being abused in just about every discotheque. It’s too bad that there are so many quality control issues, and that the protective film has been removed already, or else, that they didn’t remove it completely. It is also a bit pricey considering that it has no custom case, and that it won’t fit well in any other case either. It would also be nice if it had a coil split/tap and some other features too, since it is so stripped down, for the price. It sounds alright, and it would be very simple to make a few upgrades to it, such as I have already mentioned. Thank you for sharing your experience with this instrument and posting this video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨🎸

Hey Trogly, I have always loved your videos, but I always felt you needed to up your playing and guitar tone game for the demos. Well, I have to say the riffs you were blasting out starting around 14:35 was some of the best guitar playing and tone I have heard from you. You sometimes should dial in a tone to let the viewers hear a guitar's full potential. I get using a pretty consistent clean tone with the Deluxe Reverb and then you kick on the distortion and demo the guitars that way. Problem to me is by using close to the same settings for each, many of the guitars on the demos start to sound the same. Again, great tone and playing here and consider dialing in tones on a case by case basis. It seemed to inspire you, as well as others, to have more fun playing.

There's a fine line between guitar novelty and guitar nobility. We all know where this one lies. 😆

[@chrisgentry7242]

The funny thing is theres no real guitarist that actually looks up to kelly. I dont think its worth it.

[@jamesoniris2647]

The part that makes me the most angry is a single humbucker with a killswitch a volume nob. The killswitch and volume nob are useless together! They do the exact same thing.

[@F_I_J_I_W_A_T_E_R]

Not really, killswitches cut the sound immediately and there are plenty of reasons to play at half-volume.

[@danieleidet7131]

The end result is the same but are totally different. You can’t “skip” with a volume knob, you only swell.

The only self harm I see is paying $1500 for a guitar that makes the owner look like a dbag.

[@Madakalim]

The killswitch is for when you have to start miming for the audience

[@PabloSchred]

I noticed the little "Thunderhorse" bit you played! Good review, pretty bizarre guitar but hey!

[@ChibsonUSA]

NGL, thought it was a Chibson

[@Noodle-Segootal]

This would honestly be so much more hype if it was a semi/full hollow guitar with the black paint being a hole instead of... paint.

[@chadromanowski2408]

I got an evil twin for Christmas and it's only a couple dollars more. I can't imagine anyone but MGK buying this, and even he would have to admit it's ugly and overpriced.

[@MrGhat76]

1500$. For such poor quality? That’s insane. Send it back

[@Zebraworm-fj6kn]

I saw an image of this guitar on twitter and I thought "Oh cool, Judas Priest guitar cuz like 'British Steel' and all that". Then I scrolled down and saw MGK and immediately changed the thought to "Oh my god this f-ing loser, he's already hated by the rock world, wtf is this???"

[@bennettgreg]

Paint is cracking and coming up around the ground wire. Possibly on the bridge screw hole too.

[@ezerlab1]

Nope. Thank you.

[@clifisboring]

People don’t like it because of the shape & who it’s attached to, I don’t like it because it looks uncomfortable

[@ALTDOK667]

No sir, I don't like it!

[@chainsleftunbroken000]

Looks like those old washburn guitars they use to sell at Walmart and target as beginners guitar like the def lepard guitar set or the cort guitars

[@Kahuna54]

The Machine Gun Kelly I thought of was the radio DJ from LA in the 60s thru the 80s I think!

[@Revelation22_5]

That razor blade design down the center of the pickguard has the perfect place for a single coil but they didn’t add it.
