Many apologies for not seeing your comment. Thats awesome that I introduced you to the great Michael Schenker. Made me very happy to know that... thanks again... much appreciated!
Killer playing my man! It’s really refreshing to see someone actually getting into the groove of a song and move around while they’re playing, it’s weird when they just stand still and look bored. I think you just convinced me that I need a Flying V
Hi Kyle, thanks so much for the great comment. Agree completely, its not the kind of music to be played sitting down. If you are not feeling it I think it shows. Oh yes you definitely need a V.. I have three which is nearly enough but not quite.. lol
Wow...gave me goosebumps dude. Excellent cover.This tune showcases the melodic brilliance of Schenker, he's not trying to melt up the fretboard, just playing tasty & to the point. I remember back in the 80s, this tune actually got a lot of radio play on the local rock station....a better era, better times for sure.It's funny how people complained how they thought the world was crazy then....now look where we're at. Anyhow, tunes like this are immortal & always bring back good memories of how rock music was so innovative back then. Good stuff.
That's great Marc, thanks do much and agree with you 1000% about music back then. Just outstanding and still moving people decades later! Thanks so much for interacting. All the best!
Ha ! I just bought a new car yesterday, with a JBL sound system built in. This is exactly the song I played while driving off. The solo at the end is so gooood. Michael calls "Assault Attack" an album musicians can appreciate.
Killer cover. Got the same flying v since like 1 or 2 month seems like you had a lot of fun playing awesome cult classic on it! As I do! Just awesome dude full support love to see you play !
Hey great job on this killer tune! I haven't been able to decide between the 70s Flying V or the 70s Explorer since I saw them at Winter NAMM '20. I have decided to bite the bullet and get both of them
That's what i call cool and this is the reason why every wife is angry on her husband...........""""what the f......., you bought one more guitar again????" I know oh my dear
Awesome Chris! One of my favorite Schenker tunes & albums. New sub here from Philadelphia, Pa. Hope to see some more Schenker songs, solo at the end was killer! Well done
Hi Jim, thanks so much... Im a fan of mr S ! Armed and ready by MSG is here amongst the other stuff on my channel. Thank you for subscribing and am really happy you liked it!
Thank you, I always wanted a white V and Desert song was my fave track from the MSG era so doing this track with this guitar was a blast. Thanks again (:-)
Thanks so much Kristian, Its a fantastic V.... i love it and wanted a bound fretboard as they look great. Board is pleked so plays great and of course my inner Schenker needed a white one. I highly recommend!
Yes evryone needs to satisfiy there inner schenker Ive allready satisfied my inner Matthias Jabs and James Hetfeild with my tow explorers. Im getting a 70s V asap🙂
Yes, but then he should have a guitar like the one BB King played! 😆He called it Lucille... Like Negan's baseball bat. 😄 But, seriously, a Flying V is much more beatiful! Best looking guitar in my opinion. And this man uses it well! Greetings from Italy!
Definitely worth that 300 price difference for this color! Knowing that Michael SCHENKER would never use a fender 5150 iii but my 50 watt 5150 iii and this guitar on that blue channel will be fitted for MSG,UFO,kiss, Judas Priest, Randy rhoads tones
Greetings from Belarus! Great guitar, great song, great video! It charged for the whole day in the morning! Unfortunately, in my country only Cort or cheap washburns can be seen in the store. Someday I will see such a guitar live and I can afford it! Have a nice day!
Great job! It seems just appropriate, with a guitar like this in hand, to play some MSG (or UFO)! 😄 And you do it well! ...I am not a guitarist, indeed I am a bassist since mid eighties, but sometimes I try to play guitar too... And there is not a single other model that I like more than the Flying V, especially white! Such a beautiful guitar, that even not plugged screams Rock! ...but plugged in is better, of course! 😆 It is the same with a Rickenbacker for basses! Greetings from Italy!
@Sergio D'Ambrosio Hi Sergio, greetings to Italy and many thanks for the kind comment. of course many amazing guitarists are Italian. Btw... I love your beautiful country and was recently in Sorrento. I agree about the flying V... amazing guitar and a joy to play. Thanks again for commenting and very best wishes from England!
Wow! Great cover! I even like it better than the Official video and to achieve something like that means a lot. So, awesome job! Greetings from Western Germany!
Made my day thank you so much for the kind comment... really appreciate it. Of course I'm a Schenker fan so really hoped to do it justice... is one of my fave tunes. Greetings to Germany and thanks again!
Chris Vye You know, I am a Scorpions fan, so I wanted to check out the 70s Explorer by Gibson and found your video. Now I am a MSG fan as well. So, I thank you very much for bringing MSG to my music library. Keep on picking! Greetings!
Chris Vye Thank you for the advice. I love the sound of the concert, it is pure vintage and full of power. It is an awesome live recording.You know, I was born in 2001, so quiet young, but I can not stand todays music. So I am very thankful for all advices I can get, like the concert of MSG. But I listen to a lot of different genres, for example, I am a huge Johnny Cash fan. And again, thank you so much for helping me expand my musical horizon! Greetings!
Thanks Alijan, I have both and like them equally. Great guitars. The 70s guitar sounds a bit darker and has hotter pickups and of course I like the neck binding. The Antique looks amazing and has a slightly quicker neck.
@@ChrisVye yeah I already have the b2 in satin ebony which has super hot dirty fingers plus pickups so I'll probably just go with the antique natural with burstbuckers.
I know....you are working as a Business man, and after that you play killer guitar and Rock the neighbours......great.......respect and regards of Germany........
Thank you Thorsten! Its very hard to make a good living from music nowadays so in many ways you are right. I play for the love of it and its a bonus for me to be able to share it. Thanks again and Greetings to Germany!
@@ChrisVye Hello Chris, thank you for your reply. Maybe you can enjoy your music more than someone is under force of record companies, Tour Manager... and i think when music is a Must it ain't No Fun. That's why i Play only for myself and on hobby level. I Play guitar when i want, what i want or i do not. I like your playing a lot and i Love Michael too. He is a german Like me and i hope you understand my english. And where are you from? Thanks again and Carry on
Thought the toggle switch is supposed to be cream on these. Did they make a change? Or maybe just a QC slip? If so that might make this quite the rarity! Looks great either way! I’ve got one on order now for 9 months! Ugh.
Regards from Spain! Your video helped me to buy the same guitar. Now I have it! The magic of TH-cam :P If you come to Spain, bring it with you for some Accept-like guitar twin performances haha. Rock on!
That's awesome, I hope you love it... I certainly do... its a fantastic guitar and am sure you'll be very happy. BTW. I Iove Spain !... been there a lot and I think my fave places are Valencia and Estepona! Stay well my friend and very best wishes from chilly England!
This reminds me of a guy I was in a band with in the UK back in the late 70s and early 80s called Toby Martin. He could play all the Schenker stuff note perfect at 17. An absolute prodigy. He had custom built De Whalley white V which was beautiful. He was literally almost better than Schenker. Played in a number of name bands later on.
Hey great song! Great video, great guitar!! Cool! Congrats on getting it. I picked up one of these at American Musical. It never stays in tune, especially the G String. There is fret buzz on the frets. Should I get a setup? The bridge burstbucker is Alnico 2 magnets. Is some cases the pickups get muddy! Have you ever had this problem?
Thanks so much for liking the vid Angel! Much appreciated! I have had none of the problems you mention with the new V so if its buzzing and not staying in tune, it might be worth popping it back to the place you bought it from for a checkup and setup! Gibson Pickups are not particularly toppy so try different amp settings if its muddy. The sound you hear on this is via a Helix using JCM 800 amp sim and it sounds fairly crisp to me. One thing I always do with gibsons tuning wise, is use some graphite in the nut slots but also on V's I wrap the strings upwards of the post hole to shallow the string angle and I have to say this one stays in tune really great.... persevere its a great guitar and thanks again for commenting!
Hi Chris, which V do you prefer the Antique Natural of the 70's V? And is there a lot of difference between the two? Is it worth paying a little more for the 70's V? I want to buy one but the shops are closed so I can't compare them.
Hi kjell, I would say the 70s V has the edge over the antique natural, it feels more refined. Having said that, the antique has a slightly thinner neck which is very fast. I truly love both guitars but if asked to choose, the 70s white guitar would win.
Chris hi, the other V you bought also lately the "korina look" (2020 model which is mahogany) with the burstbuckers how does it compare to this? Is it less output and more classic/vintage sound?
@@ronpinotti3648 You won't be disappointed, such a quality instrument, feels great and looks great. Hope you enjoy yours... let me know what you think !
how does the 70's style v compare to the classic 67 style? I heard the neck sticks up a bit more at the body and I see those pickup rings there, any changes to the tone you noticed?
Yep fretboard is higher on body but feels good, just feels luxurious to play. Sound is full and fruity but can cut nicely with the right amp settings. I love it but I would always encourage try before you buy. Ill never sell mine so says all you need to know. Thanks for commenting!
Hi my friend... guitar is Gibson 70s tribute flying V... pickups are 70s tribute for this guitar and like a hot wound PAF. Amp wise im going straight into my recording gear using a line 6 hx stomp and im also using a boss eq pedal to add that cocked wah element to the sound... mostly boosting 800hz ish. Delay and reverb i added in the recording software. I use Magix audio studio. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment.
I've been looking to buy this guitar. I was wondering if those are the pickups that come with it, or, did you put in different pickups? You nailed the schenker tone BTW! Sounds awesome!
@@ChrisVye, I bought the antique natural V with the burstbuckers. It looks great and sounds great, but this 70's V seems to really capture the schenker tone. What did you use for an amp?
Hi Mike, I have the antique natural too and its a great guitar! I used a Helix for all the guitar sounds. Brit Bright Marshall plexi and and greenback cab. Rhythm sound i used a boss Ge7 boosted around 800hz to get Michaels hollow sound. The first solo used his favorite trick and signature sound of finding the sweetspot on the dunlop wah and leaving it setin that position. That more than anything gives that distinctive tone. Outro solo was the Ge7 again and a little boss Od3 for a bit more gain. Thanks again for liking the video and all the best to you!
@@ChrisVye can vouch. The 70s is a beaut. Unfortunately I only had the chance to play one. The one I played had a broken neck from shipping, but just ordered a 2005 V that’s coming in 4 days. I’m so hyped
No I was lucky enough to get an early stock example from a large music retail chain in the UK. I timed it just right as they have been hard to get hold of for some time.
Hi Alex, it's a stunning guitar, sounds great and plays great... plekked like other modern Gibsons. I love the bound fretboard and kneck is nice. Just a little chunkier than my 2019 Natural so probably more period correct. I've been wanting this guitar since Naam and definitely not disappointed! As always try before you buy though. Thanks again for the comment Alex.
I have one of these guitars as well, and I gotta say that it is one of the finest instruments I have ever owned. The neck feels soooo good in my hands.
A Flying V is always a Warmachine.
agreed... its a few years on now but this V is still fantastic!
@@ChrisVye Just ordered one from AMS🤟🤘
@@defkon7753Awesome... you'll love it. Best V in years IMHO!
Absolute perfect opening song!!! Nothing screams Flying V like Michael Shenkner!
Thanks so much Mr Dooley.. totally agree about Schenker!
Haha funny how you refrain from doing a neck bend at 00:04, like "OHSHIT, hell naww, I just bought this baby". :D Awesome cover!
Lol yes... no stressing my brand new V ...yikes...lol... glad you liked it and thanks so much for the comment (:-)
I thought the same thing!
I'm in love with that guitar and I must have one. I already wanted it because of James Hetfield but man!
Thanks Chris, it's a great guitar... you won't be disappointed!
Got this video in my recommend, never heard michael schenker before, and now I'm really into his music. Thanks!

Ha ! I just bought a new car yesterday, with a JBL sound system built in. This is exactly the song I played while driving off. The solo at the end is so gooood. Michael calls "Assault Attack" an album musicians can appreciate.

I also like the size of Vs and Explorers when you are 189cm tall a Les paul is kinda small looking on you.
@@ChrisVye did you feel like it needed to be PLEKed ?
@@ronpinotti3648 Hi Ron, I think all new Gibsons are pleked nowdays... plays great and action will go very low if needed!
You remind me of Negan from The Walking Dead, and I didnt see it like 3 years, awesome guitar and performance anyway!!
Hi Richard, thanks so much (:-)
I totally agree
Yes, but then he should have a guitar like the one BB King played! 😆He called it Lucille... Like Negan's baseball bat. 😄

Hi Costis. To be honest the two sound very similar. Output maybe just fractionaly less on the 70 and warmer but not a huge difference.

@@ChrisVye can vouch. The 70s is a beaut. Unfortunately I only had the chance to play one. The one I played had a broken neck from shipping, but just ordered a 2005 V that’s coming in 4 days. I’m so hyped
@@kylekawolski5174 Nothing better than a NGD! Especially if it's a V... Hope it rocks for you!
The only guitar I want as a lefty :(
In german Michi is a short form of Michael........the era with Gary Barden on vocals was the best i think
There is nothing cooler than a white Flying V. Did I stutter?
Agreed, thank you Chad!
@@ChrisVye you’re welcome! Thank you for this beauty!
Did you order yours direct from Gibson? I just ordered the 70s Explorer.
No I was lucky enough to get an early stock example from a large music retail chain in the UK. I timed it just right as they have been hard to get hold of for some time.
The fretboard looks beautiful on your guitar, looks like a really dark piece of rosewood,
Yeah , i must admit i like the darker woods which this is!
Wicked awesome man…..🤟🏻
Thank you Armando :-)
Thinking about buying this guitar how do you like it?
Hi Alex, it's a stunning guitar, sounds great and plays great... plekked like other modern Gibsons. I love the bound fretboard and kneck is nice. Just a little chunkier than my 2019 Natural so probably more period correct. I've been wanting this guitar since Naam and definitely not disappointed! As always try before you buy though. Thanks again for the comment Alex.
@@ChrisVye Thank you so much!
I have one of these guitars as well, and I gotta say that it is one of the finest instruments I have ever owned. The neck feels soooo good in my hands.
What string gauge?
I use 9-42
What’s MSG?
Hi and thank you for your question. MSG is short for the Michael Schenker Group. Bit overly long so they frequently just called themselves MSG.

Sweet! I love my 2021 Gibson V, no plastic binding, inlaid abalone "Gibson" on the headstock, Burst Buckers, small pick guard.
