Trying out the Adrian Smith Jackson SDX guitar! You guys voted for it, and here's the video! Have a great Monday!
Hey Ola that's a nice Adrian Smith signature guitar
Hey ola I love your work
Ty for sharing brother
So glad you went with this guitar over the others. That guitar is sick lol.
Happy Victoria Day!
Ok, Ola playing Maiden. I can die now.
Glad your life requirements were so simple. :D
@@mrpositronia i am jealous of Luca now that you said it
Would have been cool if OLa could have scheduled this review along with the Coffee Mit Ola w/ Nita Strauss. Probably too much symmetry of content but goddamn.. Those two ripping MAIDEN and trading solos... EPIC! ⛧🤘
Ola playing The Wicker Man, never would have thought!
Awesome sauce!
Love that song.
Why
It's a logical choice of Ola if you ask me. It's a heavy Maiden riffing.
He used to hate Iron Maiden, but not anymore, but still probably not a favorite band
Ola, can you do a full Maiden cover with this guitar? Wasted Years would be cool
Upvote!!
I think he just did that.
defo, wasted years ola stlye would be awesome!!
Hey, I'm not nearly close to Ola, but I recorded a Wasted Years version a couple years ago!
I'd love if you watched it!
@@MauroGuedes absolutly rockin mate, wasted years is a classic. the tone u had was killer.
I know Iron Maiden is not Ola's cup of tea (or coffee, in this case). But damn, I wished he played Powerslave, that song is metal af.
Maiden is the definition of metal.
Rime of the ancient mariner
Powerslave is one of their all time greats. Written solely by Bruce Dickinson too!
Powerslave is a goddamn Masterpiece!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
That Jackson reminds me of Jake E Lee signature Charvel. White and black can't go wrong with that. Love your videos Ola!
@@creamwobbly yeah am more of a ESP guy my self.
Yeah White with black pickguard :D Charvel is nice as well.
I bought one a couple months ago - it immediately became my favorite guitar.
In 8th grade our band covered Wicker Man at the talent show that also happened at the school dance. I will never forget the feeling of 300 8th graders being forced to listen to us play Maiden, and then weeks later coming up to me and saying how awesome it sounded. It was so fun.
My dog loves iron maiden and as soon as Ola started playing their riffs he came running into the room 😂
BASED DOGGO
Iron dog!
Doggo is Poggo
That's a pretty metal dog my guy
that's a great dog right there
Dude those chugs in the intro sounded so good! This tone is really badass 🔥
Even though I don't listen to them every day, Iron Maiden is my favorite band because when I hear their songs I have that feeling in my heart that makes me love them. It started when I was 10 or 11 when I started liking them (before I couldn't bear to listen to The Trooper haha), then I went to the Maiden England tour in 2013, and since that time, I've been in all of their live shows here in Chile. Singing along all the crowd Fear of the Dark is payless.
The Adrian Smith SDX Models are made in the Indonesia Cort Facility anything that's Crafted in any of the Cort facilities you're getting professional quality craftsmanship
On their 2 best albums: Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son, they where using Gallien Kruegers 250 ML. To this days I still think that was the best sounding guitar sound I have ever heard (for my taste). Rush and others used that same amp, and yes it is transistors.
Yup!
Totally agree that these are their best albums!
Recently picked up a 250ML and it absolutely nails those tones, really fun amp.
@@low_e_music I am jealous, I should have bought one when they where affordable where I live. The only thing I got that close are IR of the 2 Gallien Kruegers used on the albums in my multi effects, pretty sure they sound the same, there is just the chorus, I am not sure I nailed it yet.
@@sebjulien3 You might get lucky and find one someday. I have been looking for a few years and only recently found one that I was OK with it the price of.
Iron Maiden ,Ola ,and Jackson’s rule!
Ola can make any guitar guitar sound amazing. This Jackson is no exception! Sounds great and looks amazing
for anyone who's too embarrassed to ask, the first riff is The Wickerman (sometimes we are a little rush when someone ask stuff like that). Then, Ola plays The Trooper and Wasted Years
You're Frickn talented Ola! Hearing you play something different proves it.
Sounds awesome! I’ve been waiting one for a while!
Adrian Smith has got a cool project going on with Richie Kotzen! It’s called Smith/Kotzen! Check it out, it’s great music. 🤘🏽
I really like the few songs I've heard.
I got the album and I think it's brilliant.
@@jeffreyschroder8004 yea man, same here!
@@claudevieaul1465 nice! I’m probably gonna get it too! I’m a fan of both those guitar badasses!
Such a beautiful guitar. So grateful for this review - I’ve been seriously considering grabbing one but now there’s no doubt.
I love that axe! And the more I hear the Jackson/Marshall DSL combo, the more I like it!
That guitar sounds VERY METAL which is what it says on Adrians jacket from THE YOUNG ONES!!!
🇬🇧 we would have got more points at Eurovision with Maiden 😂
Certainly. 100 million records sold and endless touring points to a rather large fan base
@@riheg of course! You didn’t sense my sarcasm 😉
@@langy8525 I did. Just pointing out that IM might do even better than anyone might expect considering the low standard all around and the awesomeness of the band, maybe even win.
@@riheg they would win hands down. Eurovision = current Brexit hate though 😂
@@langy8525 Eurovision is meant for amateurs and we will never win it ever again.
Serves us right.
The high-up volume knob is for the clean sections of certain songs.
Thank you for the video! So the volume pot is there because Adrian Smith uses it when he plays so it sits where the palm would help the fingure reduce the volume! Nice stuff!
I just got the SDQX Trans Green and I added it the Seymour Duncan JB Trembucker. Now it is a BIG guitar!🎸
Daaaamn, Ola playing Wasted years, this is gooooold
I have both versions with both maple and rosewood fretboards, two beautiful guitars.
Yes! Yes! Adrian's guitar going into a Tube Scream into a Marshall stack? Pure magick, right there!
Only thing that is missing is the tube screamer into a fat chorus before the marshall and you have a perfect somwhere in time / Seventh Son sound :D
@@mathias6423 Right?! 🤘🏻
@@TheStrykerProject Yeah I just tried it, I only have a Marshall DSL40CR 40W tube combo since I live in apartment. And I have it in like 10W or something to get more out of the tubes at lower volume to not make the neighbors too mad. I also added a Phaser/Phaseshifter with the chorus and tube screamer and a little bit of delay&reverb. Man it sounds a lot like Adrians guitar sound from the Somewhere in time album which is my absolut fav album together with Seventh Son.
I got the sound settings from this guy, watch it and thank me later if you have not already seen it. Sounds much like original ADrian SMith, watch it , here is link
th-cam.com/video/Bz_bK9gDAfQ/w-d-xo.html
@@mathias6423 Sweet! Thanks, man!
I have this guitar with the Laurel fingerboard.. Its turned into my daily driver just recently. Plays great and tone is not overstated and loves whatever you do with it.
Goosebumps from that intro riff! 👍
The one i had was really good, especially for the money. It's a Charvel So Cal +1 single coil basically, feels the same.
You made that amp and guitar sound amazing.
Was already anxious for this one!
love you Ola , making metal fun again.
I've got this guitar the only difference is mine has the white pickguard, but otherwise just alike. This guitar is super sweet. I tend to play it more than the others. Chords, leads all play insanely cool. The tone is great and I'm totally happy I made the decision to get it. Rockin' it with Maiden riffs, gotta love that!!
I have a Dave Murray (Iron Maiden) Fender Stratocaster with 3 Seymour Duncan Hot Rails and it sounds so sick, the neck is incredibly comfortable, and it has a Floyd Rose.
5:28 oooh yes we remember learning that too 🤘🏽
I have the emerald green / black version, I switched out the pickups with a SD BLACK WINTER, and 2 X SD HOT RAILS...now it CHUGS
Awesome guitar
Ola,
That was awesome. Love that guitar 🤘🎸
As inexpensive as it is, is very well made... and yes, the bridge pickup is not that great, placed a SD Distortion in the bridge and that bridge one went to the neck to have a HSH configuration... love playing it all the time!!
I went to my main page and this was uploaded 6 seconds ago apparently.
I'm literally here before youtube notifications.
Love the look of that guitar. Looks like something I would pick up to play in a store.
I always wondered about this guitar, pretty rad!
I must say the pickups in Jackson guitars are great I have a randy rhoads minion and even that guitar sounds great plugged in, loved the video like always
I love it when you play riffs off the Haunted's first album.
I agree about the volume knob, I found one used, removed the tone pot, moved the volume pot down and installed a toggle, installed a Fender neck and Dimarzio mid single, the bridge pup is decent enough, good guitar to make a partscaster
Been subscribed for a while, when things get a little better will become a member. Always enjoy your shows, and I really appreciate you doing your own thing. It’s gets annoying to see the same guitars and other murch( Harley Benton). Nothing against people who do that, but I just love the way you are doing your own thing. Have a great life and say hi to wife and kids, another great aspect of your shows. If it’s to loud you’re to old !!
Many moons ago I had a Dime 3ST, bought it from Mars Music in Somerville, Ma. At the time it was the most expensive guitar I had ever bought. I also had the full Warhead stack. I pawned the guitar to finance my bands album. Worst mistake of my life... The pawn shop sold it before the time was up to buy it back, the dude saw that it was worth way more than the loan, when I went back to get it it was gone. I've been hunting for it ever since or one like it. 20 years...If memory serves it was serial number 0000095.
This has nothing to do with this video, it was just on my mind while watching and how many guitars, awesome and not so awesome I've lost along the way. Ola, thank you for testing shit, thank you for all the nostalgia you bring and thank you for keeping this old musician/gearhead/metalhead up to speed on what's current!
Can I just say I need this guitar Adrian is one of my guitar hero's, great demo man
Thats better than I thought it would be. I know some people like the volume close to the picking hand for volume swells but it gets in my way as well
Was cool to get a little insight on how Adrian gets his tone. I wouldn’t have guessed ts9 tube screamer. I know in the early days Dave Murray used an mxr distortion +
Very cool. Maiden is one of my favorites.
Out of all three of those guys when I seen them Dave Murray clearly had the most transparent tone. Also cut through the best.
Thanks for this review Ola!
top mounted floyd means one can easily retrofit it with a EVH D-Tuna. it also won't come out of tune if a string breaks. at that price point a very good option for using as a workhorse.
lol The Wicker Man is the first maiden riff I've ever learnt. Nice guitar dude
Thats a killer guitar! Sounds awesome!
Wicker Man ❤ Brave New World was one of the first metal albums I ever bought myself
👍nice! Maybe I’m a bit older…my first album was “POWERSLAVE” 👌🤘
I have this jackson, it's a shred machine ment to thrash for sure. Plan on upgrading the humbucker eventually. Probably one of the best bang for your buck guitar hands down
This guitar would be so easy to Mod the hell out of it. Pariah BlackHeart humbucker and a Bare Knuckle Cobra for the Neck. Follow Ola's lead and lower and disconnect the middle pikcup, replace with 3 way switch. You could mod the neck joint and make it like a JS1000, so you have 2 bolts on the lower horn side taking 1 1/2 inch bolts, and the other side (top side) taking 1 3/4 inch bolts. This is a very comfortable neck heel. Takes some time and some 180 grit sandpaper.. and the 2 shorter bolts. If someone is considering doing this - the low side (short side) is 11/16ths and the taller side is 1 full inch. (this what to sand it to on the body to give you that easy access slant. Yes - you will cut into the lower horn a bit. The area has to be big enough to put the neck plate back on. And then smooth it out so it is not an ugly mess.
Fender charvel and Jackson have just been killin it lately
Really cool stuff coming from jackson this year
Charvel is my new favorite guitar maker. That old super strat style is coming back in a big way lately.
Charvel is what offers better price/quality in my opinion
Add EVH to that family of badassery
Love that clean look!!!
JACKSON!!!!
Looks really nice! Sounds good for stock!
Adrian is a great guitarist. Every time I have seen Maiden in concert I have enjoyed his solos the most. Fear of the Dark RULES. Great sounding video. I like the guitar, it looks fabulous.
Sounds nice indeed.
Nice Full Tone and Crunchy Sounds!!!
Adrian Smith Rocks, Awesome Guitar!
The world is at peace with Ola Doing Good Deeds playing Iron Maiden, hehe
I was thinking about buying this so happy he made this video
This guitar would look great with those normal jackson inlays.
you mean the sharkfins? it's more kind of a Charvel though, it even has the SD standing for "San Dimas".
That was really cool, I never thought would see Ola Playing The wicker man and enjoying it !!! xD
By the way, the spects are some kind of tribute to his Favorite Jackson from the "Seventh son" era, thats why the San dimas shape and the Non-recessed floyd. And this is the entry level, the USA comes with Dimarzio distortion (maple) or S.Duncan (rosewood)
OMG. Awesome guitar!
Awesome!!
Have an old Jackson and yeah, the volume pot, blessing and curse heh
beautiful guitar and you sir are cool af for demoing
Sounds awsome so does the marshall amp
Glad to hear him Play the Wicker man, Brave New World at times feels underrated.
Side note: your lead playing is noticeably better as of late! Great review as always
Love ur content ola! Gretings from norway! Bought a solar guitar in dec! Love it!
Looks like a fun guitar to play around with
That DSL 20 is wicked good.
I got the green one but put an original floyd on it and the Kirk Hammett EMG HSS set up. I want the white one.
Hell yeah! Opened with my favorite Maiden tune. 🤘🤘
I’ve tried one that had a Dimarzio single coil pretty damn sweet
Awesome to hear Uplands Väsby again too!!!!
Ola playing maiden=🤘 outstanding my man. Another excellent video would love to have a Jackson Adrian Smith but really want something different from the guitars I do have. Been looking at flying v's and I'm either going to get a solar v or a Jackson king v. Dunno what it is but flying v just screams metal to me and I've always wanted to pick one up
Very nice review! I'm about to get the white pickguard with basswood body. It should get the sound a bit warmer
Love it Ola 🤘❤ Up the Irons!!
It sounds really great !! I need a tube screamer I guess...
Loved the Fear of the dark intro
I love maiden
I had to check this one out
Jackson Guitars are my favorite
6:21 - Oh man, what awesome riffs!
Aaah, one of my dream guitars!
I bought this guitar a few years ago just to see if I could get my head around superstrats and Floyds and all that. This seemed like the best one out of a lot of other decent options all around. Adjusted the neck one time. Part of setting up guitars to your liking anyway. Once you're there it's more worth than what you pay for it. True workhorse there.
Yeah I ordered the white one with black pickguard the other day and also a Dimarzio Super Distortion and a couple of Fender noiseless single coils with it. I am really hyped seems like an awesome guitar for below 600€ well below 770€ in total with the pickups. I can not see much better guitars for that money to play some Maiden on.
Hell yeah Ola sick guitar as well
Its a nice looking guitar and Adrian is one of the classic guitar players in the gender.Thank you Ola!
A beautiful signature guitar Up The Irons !
I got this one and the Dave Murrat Strat, and the Strat is a clear step better in pretty much all areas, however, the SDX is a good guitar but with some limitations I'd say.
Yessssss. Adrian's guitar!!!!!
I love those DSL20 amps.
I have the green w/quilted top Adrian Smith model.. great playing guitar for the price 👍🏻
Voted for this one, but would still love to see you try out the dave mustaine guitar.
I love my Jackson Adrian Smith SDX! For a while I had a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge since that's what the American version of that guitar has in it, but I ended up swapping it out to a pickguard with just a single bridge humbucker, and single volume control, with a Duncan Designed HB108, and love it even more now.
do you custom the pickguard? or just fit with strat single pickup aftermarket pickguard?
@@rezaanarda6823 I used a black single-ply Strat pickguard for a single humbucker. I think I got it from guitar fetish, but I don’t remember for sure. This way I can swap the whole guard in and out to go back to the standard configuration if I want to.
@@bskbishop thx dude, i want to mod like 'evh' look little bit haha.. but not sure if i bought standard single ply pickguard (fender/squier/etc.) can be fit..
@@rezaanarda6823 worst case scenario, you’ll have to trim the new guard a little to fit perfectly around the neck heel and the Floyd Rose. I don’t think I needed to drill new mounting holes, but that’s also possibly needed. They’re often sold as Tom DeLonge pickguards since his old signature Strat had that configuration.
