And thank you for the kind words! Im glad you found this useful. I’m not sure if I mentioned it in this review, but if you’re considering this guitar just beware of the weight of it - weighs a ton!

Ah thank you so much man.. you’ve really affirmed it for me now with the longer videos as when I was editing this yesterday I was thinking, Christ this is long for a guitar review who’s going to watch it?! But then I thought well, I want to be thorough and cover as much as possible so yeah, it takes as long as it takes.. so I’m really glad that guys like yourself like this long format and am happy to watch and hang out with them! So thank you again! 🤘🏻

Jackson make such great guitars. I’m still kind of bonding with this guitar now as it’s taking ages to get used to the whole idea of having 7 strings and where the positions have moved to on the fretboard etc. But yeah, Jackson is certainly the way to go for a lot of metal guitars and they look the part!

@@nihilist92 the only thing I didn't like is the binding kept coming loose on the head . And after my girlfriend son picked it up and damaged the paint I stripped it and repainted it it was black now it's matalic silver with black sunburst and I just let the binding off the head and replace the inlay and it looks good now and I decided I don't want to be a daddy to a kid that gets into things he was told twice to leave it alone 😂

@@larrymcneill8407 hahah yeah I understand 😂 as a matter of fact, I managed to drop mine flat on its face within a month of owning it as it was in a bag that I though was zipped up.. I went to put it on my shoulder and we’ll, yeah.. out it came. Fortunately it landed on carpet and there’s next to no damage on it other than a small scuff on the headstock but other than that it’s still in pretty good condition. I can’t feel You how mortified I was, as I generally keep my guitars in good condition. So yeah, brand new Jackson hitting the deck was no fun!

@@nihilist92 he crack out one corner of the bottom of the v about 2.5 inch of the point was bent back had to putguld onit after sanding down the paint then driled holes down fallowing the crack took wax Tex paper and clamped it flat four a week. I had to sand and reshape the body then painted. Fell in where the binder was with Bondo

Yup. I had no problems with tuning stability with this guitar. It just weighed an unnecessary amount, was noisy and wasn’t the best sounding

Ah cool man and congrats! Let me know how you get on with it! 🤘🏻

Thank you bro! Yeah I love my Vs and Jackson guitars and am very happy to now own two! 🤘🏻🎸

Thanks!

Hahaha you mad man 😂😂

Thanks Harry!

Thank you Jeffrey, I’m Glad you think so! 🤘🏻

Yeah Peach were great with getting this one to me. Super fast service and very helpful when I had a few questions for them

Haha thanks man. I’m really enjoying playing it!

Hey - yes I had no problem with this guitar with tuning. HOWEVER, I will say that I read lots of reviews on this Floyd system and it seemed to be good and bad reviews with tuning stability. So it was a bit of a roll of the dice for me however like I said I had no problems personally with mine after using the bar etc.

Yeah for lower tunings like that I use the transpose in my kemper which works well.

Niiice man! Congrats! Let me know how you get on with it 🤘🏻

@@nihilist92 Thanks dude, I already love my Rhoads V so much! 🔥

I also ordered the guitar, do you have ever tuned the guitar lower than a? Maybe f? My impress is a really thin sound in comparison with my other guitars. Is this a wrong setting on my amp or typical jackson? I ever played Ibanez and Dean, they also have a floyd rose, are dropped, were cheaper, but have more power. I cant find the problem. Instead of active pickups, the passive slot by the amp gives more sound than the active. Do you have an advice?

I wish Jackson made the headstock more straight instead of hockey stick like but other than that, they make pretty great stuff right up there with Schecter.

Quite honestly this guitar is a bit of a tank as far as durability goes, perhaps even too much for me! But yes it still Stays in tune super well and the only wear in on the body itself is the finish from where my arm comes over - which is quite normal For Matte black. As far as the bridge goes, I did a load of research prior to buying this and it just seems like some people Get a bad FR special, and then others get lucky and it’s literally the roll Of the dice - however I think I’ve been one of the more fortunate people with this one as it seems to be fine. The only thing I would add is for all the guitars weight etc, it’s sustain isn’t great at all and I’d probably put that down to the small sustain block which I would definitely consider swapping out

Thanks! So I actually sold this guitar as I had no need for a 7 String in the end. It’s unfortunate as this guitar looks great but I didn’t get on with it at all. Tuning stability wise it was great. But sonically it was noisy, thing sounding and lacked soul imo. It’s extremely neck heavy with the graphite reinforcement too.

@@nihilist92 Thanks for the feedback 👍 I’m between the a Jackson 7 string and a Solar V with the evertune. Cheers 🍻

Hey man! This guitar feels like a tank. I have another Jackson Rhoads and it’s so slinky compared to this. If you like heavy guitars then this is certainly for you as it weighs a ton! The only thing I would switch out is the floyd rose special. It holds tune just fine but doesn’t sustain as well as a floyd rose original would. All in all the guitar feels pretty solid!

@@nihilist92 Hey thanks! Definitely gonna swap out the Special for an OFR or Lockmeister. I just hope I can love the neck near as much as my Ibanez, haven’t played a better one yet. But the scale length and shape are calling to me hard!

@@coffinfeeder7732 I gotta say that the neck is super comfortable on this. It’s just taking me forever to adjust to the 7 strings!

I didn’t really have any massive neckdive issues with it as the inverted headstock balance it out quite well. You could really feel the weight of this thing though especially in the reinforced neck so you’ve got to like really heavy guitars to want to own this I’d say

@@nihilist92 Great! Thank you.

@@nihilist92 Very cool thank you. Does it fit into a hard shell Jackson V case? 26 1/2 inch scale length… Maybe they shortened the fin to make it fit?

@@sicmonic no mine did not fit into my other Jackson Rhoads hardcase - but they do one which you can buy specifically for this

@@nihilist92 Thank you!

Hey man, thank you! Yeah this is still On the site with the reverse headstock I believe (a main selling point for me)! And I think there’s stores In the Uk which are still selling these.

@@nihilist92 dude, i just figured out there's a randy rhodes and a king V version xD it's the king that doesn't have the reverse! How cool.. I'm going for the randy hands down! Thank you brother!

@@rafazantis734 ah yes I saw the king v the other day and it looks monstrous! But I absolutely love the rhoads version.

Yeah to me it weighed a lot. I’m not really a big guy but my BC Rich is quite heavy and feels absolutely fine on me. This was a little on the clunky side for me personally

@@nihilist92 thanks for the honesty. A heavy v really tunes me off. I like them to be light weight.

I won’t lie, this guitar is taking its time to get the feel of, but I won’t give up!

ANNNNDDDDDDD I bought it

@@RiffKing719 killer - Congrats!
