I know why you need a 7 string; you can’t be bothered to down-tune your other guitars because they’ve all got Floyd Rose’s 😂

Name it The Seven Seamen! Wait...

Our rhythm guy brought a 7 string to practice. I laughed at him. It was the butt of many jokes. The last time I ever saw a 7 up close. He would never tell us what he did with the thing.

Say its name 5 times as fast as you can. LOL

Thanks for watching

Great video, thanks for the info

i bought Harley's fretless bass 8 years ago. great piece of instrument for about 150q (can't remember how quid stand those days). sounds perfectly even unplugged. there is some issue, that you can relate into 'fretwork' on fretted guitars - high C are sometimes muted, so it became as not perfectly fretboard work done, but... my friend, with i play from time to time, bought a 'highend Harley' strat. sth around 300q. he's in love with it. he have bunch of Jacksons for his proffessional stuff but wanted something for lighter stuff (HSS). he's in love with it too, and he just regret, that it looks how it looks, because it beats he's Jackons as hell in terma of creating sounds (;

Yer right but……. Gibson did the Dean headstock back in the fifties 😮 I saw this “Dean” Flying V in the Gibson Garage in London. £20k can you believe it? What’s more can you believe they let some random dude (me) play it? They offered so what would you do? Long story short I liked the £5k Les Paul custom more 😂 than that. Here’s some detail about that Gibson Dean Flying V czcams.com/video/Ifmui30POeM/video.html

She objectively isn’t even in top 1000

I use little strip of foam from the back an old mouse mat just after the nut or behind the bridge -cost nothing as I made sure to take the mouse mat from work Works a charm and stops guitar looking like it wants to enter a Tennis competition

Unboxing guitars is the most boring thing I can imagine and still some youtubers don't stop that shit.

Such a shame all the cheapo "metal" guitars are black... The explorer is cool too but I hate black Explorers and Flying V. Cherry, white, natural wood... those are Flying V colours... White is super classic, it's a Randy Rhoads basically... I will shell out the extra 200 for the natural wood Explorer because those are gorgeous and so close to a proper 1958 Explorer. I hate their symmetrical Vs... wish they made the 58 Flying V. The trademark expired... still it's so cheap I might get one just as a guitar I can leave in the band room and won't cry if someone knocks it over. I say that now but once I put Toneriders and fancy hardware in and polish the frets and round the board I'll get attached to it like my TE62DB. I treat it like my Gibson. It's my precious. Sold out for 4 months so it may as well be... I can't speak highly enough of the HB Teles... Gor one of their premium Les Pauls and it is one of my nice guitars. Feels all fancy. The binding had paint marks on it so I got 20 bucks off and got out the razor. If they can make them this nice. Skimp on scraping the binding by all means I can do that myself. And frankly I've seen paint on the binding on guitars triple the price

Me: motorcyclist and bicyclist “who doesn’t like tinkering and wrenching?” I just do my own strings because “see gadgets and tools 😁 I’ve been accused for changing them when I’m bored…not true! I swear!

Gary from guitar Center …”shut UP Andy!” 😂

I use a cheap rechargeable snark clip on for my acoustics. I tune then remove it. I had the battery operated one for a couple years and it worked great with no issues. I passed that on to my nephew and picked up the rechargeable snark for myself and it's working great a year or more later without any issues. I'm getting ready to order a Peterson strobe tuner with metronome just to be that much more anal about being in perfect tune...lol

Studio producer Chris Tsangaredes (rip) in an interview on CZcams had a great little story. He had a guitarist in his studio who wanted Chris to get him an Eddie Van Halen guitar tone. Chris said back to the guitarist "your not Eddie Van Halen, you doughnut." The guitarist went "huh?, what if I had what he uses?" Then Chris says "Eddie would sound like Eddie no matter what gear he uses. "You will only sound like you end of". I thought that story was great as it teaches you that the player has to get their own sound.

I personally enjoy setting up my own guitars as I've learnt from all the top guitar builders from Tone Talk episodes on CZcams. It's ok paying someone to setup a guitar, but it still might not be how you want it. You will laugh but there are some players can't tune up their guitars let alone restring.

Awesome ! 🤘🏻🔥🔥🤘🏻

Well done man,,I enjoyed that and you done a great job.🤘😎👍

Another great video. Love the guitar

I don’t think there is any such thing as a beginner guitar; all guitars are either good or they’re not. If they’re not good, DON’T get one as a beginner or you’ll give up! SO yes - this would be a great option for a beginner, because it’s a good guitar, but it’s also great for anyone who wants a cool looking, great sounding V with good tuning stability 😊👌🏻

Sounds MEAN, really very cool! Have to say though Andy, looks like a toy on you, wish I had one to see what it looks like on me and compare 😂

I enjoyed that, and seeing/hearing you play. It's so great to know that a good guitar can still be had at a decent price, and that it can look terrific too. Thanks for doing the review!

Your face goes all Victorian father when you play. I do mouth munchies. I need to buy this guitar. cheers.

I do not need another guitar,.......but if I could sneak one in and get away with it (my woman already giving me that look) I would give it a go.

Great demo! They really should make some V's for lefties.

Killer video, brother. For those watching and want to see the Cab video: czcams.com/video/MkMpuUJSUgc/video.html

Great video bro

I just discovered youre you tube channel ,its really interesting so I subscribed , keep up the good work.

"A nun in a cucumber patch " ... Brilliant !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've heard from road crew people (many years ago) that many famous guitarists play very light gauges like 8s and lower. Even SRV dropped down to 9s because his wrists were starting to feel those 11s. I just put Reverend Willy's 7s on my PRS Paul's guitar.

The guitar community on Twitter is a pretty good group of people. We usually run of the dickheads who want to be aholes.

Thanks for watching. Got some real nerdy guitar stuff coming up very soon so make sure you like and subscribe so you don't miss anything.....

Still love that guitar 😛

One of the best things I have ever done was change to light strings.

crikey!

I know that the quality is lesser on CZcams, especially since I don't pay for it, but I do like the sound.

I have the first iteration of HB's vertical 2x12 cabinet with the V30s and just happened to find it at a thrift store for $59.99 USD. I am very happy with it and could not pass up the deal.

I use one of HB's vertical vintage 30 cabs under my Marshall DSL20. I think it's a killer little cab for home and studio use. I wouldn't try touring with one since the construction is more medium duty rather than heavy duty. But I can honestly recommend these cabs for any budget minded player. Tone wise, it sounds like any other modern V30 loaded cab. So you know what you are getting. Nearly all modern V30 cabs are loaded with Asian production speakers regardless of brand or price point.

The BULK of our guitar/bass work, when I was in my shop was restring and clean!

Mr. Beast? Whatever HAPPENED to MS. BEAST????

A cab being very heavy isn't necessarily a good thing as a quality material like real pine or baltic birch plywood is considerably lighter than cheap stuff like MDF and particle board. V30s are made in Vietnam not China and as Harley Benton guitars are also made in Vietnam I would imagine this cab is made there as well. Basically a couple of V30s would cost about as much as this cab loaded so it seems a pretty good deal.

Well I’m convinced, the only thing stopping me clicking the link and buying one right now is that I don’t have an amp head to use it with!! 😂

‘Stacks up’ 😂, yes we see what you did there!

💜

Sounds nice and tight! Now I want a 2x12.

Thanks for watching. This was my first ever gear review. I'm sure I'll get better probably.
