The Flying V has really been pulling me in recently. I just love a guitar that is a bit different. There are loads of Stat and LP copies and loads of people have Strats or LPs (for good reason) but them being so common puts me off slightly. Something like a Flying V, Explorer or SG really pulls me in as being different enough to be really cool and differentiate yourself from other guitarists.
+Leejk I'm thinking the same thing. I already got Strats and an Epiphone Joe Bonamassa. I was thinking of getting a Gibson LP but now decide to get a V instead for the same reason you mentioned. Plus I think V is fun for shredding and can do blues nicely too.
A used SG should be cheaper and shouldn't be too hard to find one in good condition. I'm buying a used V too. By the way, Les Paul Junior with single P90s is tempting too haha.
Boy, you’re not alone. I’m a proud SG owner and my I picked an SG over an LP because of thatdiffer and the influence it had one me (Tony Iommi, Angus Young).
The Explorer had the perfect clean sound at the start and a good dirty sound, the flying v sounded pretty good at 2.00-2.30 and near the end, but when the sg came after that in i was like yeeeaaaahhhh. The les paul sounded nice at 4.00 1. SG 2. flying v 3. explorer 4. les paul 5. um yeah, the melody maker
It's a shame that Gibson seems to neglect all of their cool and interesting models and instead focus pretty exclusively on all the variations of Les Pauls and hollowbodies. I wish that they would pay more attention to the Explorer and Flying V in particular. Being a bass player I really hope that they release a Flying V or Explorer bass and leave it in production. I'm tired of Thunderbirds and EB-3s.
+Brae Scanlon I know. I don't really like the look of them (no pickguard and matte pickup covers). I prefer the recent Epiphone ones which look almost exactly like an explorer. They're also around $200-300 when they do pop up on eBay
The Explorer is my favorite. I have two of them. I like the tone, feel, and the six in line grover pegs for tunninh stability. My les paul always seems to have one problem or another
Wow...I have seen a lot on TH-cam but that was just Awsome!!! Explorer and the SG were my favourites for sure. And what a beautiful SG. Was playing an Explorer 2 days ago and fell in love but I enjoy the unique sound or the SG. Easier to live with too.
agree 100% the upper fret access on these beats the challenge on Les Paul. I do like the brighter tones of the SG and V for classic metal and rock as it cuts thru mix better and not as muddy as a Les Paul.
+Torkel S H IDK man I find the V to be so beautiful. I own a Wesley copy (my grandad's old gigging one) and I've not been able to use it standing up because of a broken strap button (that was today's project for fixing although I need a replacement strap button) but when sitting down it is very uncomfortable. I have to hold it like a classical and wrap one leg around the \ to play it. I love how original they are though and how having one sets you apart from other guitarists.
and possibly different tone caps, plus the v and explorer only have a master tone as apposed to the sg and les pauls individual, which i know wouldnt make a huge tonal difference but something to keep in mind
I have no idea what pups are in all of those. Caps and pots aren’t gonna impact tone very much like pickups will. I’m assuming with Humbuckers he’s using 500k pots and .022 caps. So that’s the tone you’re gonna get. Better spec(ed) pots and high end paper in oil caps have a marginal effect on the sound, the effect the sweep giving you more or less of what the pickup is already providing you. That said even tho I have no idea what pups were in any of these you could hear the hallmark tell tale tones just from the design and amount of wood involved. Les Paul growls, SG snarls, V screams. Maybe these were preconceived thoughts that came thru but to my ear I think I could have picked out each one in relation to another with my eyes closed
I prefer explorers. They have a very good clean channel and those distorted tones were great, very to my likings. I feel like it suites rock or metal and it’s pretty nice for some clean noodling too.
Awesome comparison! Thank you very much. I'd never had thought that both Explorer and V sound much LESS aggressive than a Standard(?) SG. I got a bunch of SGs around the house (Gibsons, Epis, a Gherson and a Tokai) but the pocket money will be saved for either of the other two now...
Im looking to get another Gibson...I've had a couple sgs in the past and was leaning toward a V or an explorer for the feel and playability.... but man, a Les Paul's tone his hard to beat....sounded best in this video to my ears. I've played all 3 but never an explorer or V through an amp. tough decision.
+Jeramy Furr Furr This might help. Here is my positive & negative opinion of each guitar: GIBSON LES PAUL: Positve: Fat sound dirty or clean. Negative: Difficult access past 15th fret. GIBSON SG: Positive: Light & easy upper fret access for leads. Negative: Don't like where 3 way switch is placed. GIBSON FLYING V: Positive: Very light and easy upper fret access for leads. Negative: Don't like where 3 way switch is placed & awkward for playing sitting down. GIBSON EXPLORER: Positive: Fat sound dirty or clean. Negative: Heavy guitar if made out of mahogany.
The V sounds great, and most consistent. The SG has some nice low down crunch like the LP but the intonation sounds a touch out when your higher up the neck.
Your SG is really dark, loved the P90's on the MM JR, V was sublime but then I am seriously bias as I own the same model. The Explorer really impressed me the most, really lovely tones from that guitar.
Flying V all the way. It's my dream to own a V and I would burn my great grandfather's name into the back with a metal stencil and lighter. Plus the v had that crazy sustain.
itsalie Yes, very awkward when sitting. This is why some Flying V's have a piece of rubber tread placed along the bottom (holds the guitar on your leg).
+jAMMAN798 I actually think it's extremely comfortable to sit with, you put one wing between your legs, thus tilting the neck up. That's just how I like it
My Flying V copy has a broken strap button that I'm in the process of fixing and I really want to try it standing up (it's been broken like that since I got it from my granddad as it was his gigging guitar). I would love a real Gibson Flying V though and I am highly considering up instead of something like a LP for my next guitar. Would take a bit to save up but be so worth it.
Thank you for the vid. Nice playing! Always love my SG. Growly biting rhythm in bridge and chimey cleans and sweet smooth leads in the neck. My fave. Gain lots of respect for the V though after this vid. Might have to get one now haha.
A gaggle of Gibsons! This has to be one of the more useful Gibson based videos ever produced. And whimsically, needs more ES-335 for those charming cleans that hint acoustics to listeners. Great Job.
Thank you soo much for such a great video and display of sweet guitars. I have been following your video for 1 month and i need help. What compressor are you using it always sounds amazing. Thank you again for the awesome videos.
this is madness to each musical ear their own but I can hear a much more open, heavy, all around greater distortion tone coming out of that V. more of a compressed crunch sound from the SG. fuck man I still love SGs so much though. it's all fucking badass.
Hi man really great video! I'm thinking of purchasing Melody Maker and I was wondering what's your opinion on that guitar. Does it have intonation problem? And what strings are you using on Gibsons? Thanks!
+Jaka Šter The Melody Maker is a great guitar. It's pretty much the basics, but it works well. Intonation can be a problem if you use really thick or really thin strings, or if the neck is off (i.e. strings too far from the neck). If you use size 10 strings, you should be fine. Just like pretty much any guitar, just adjust the neck truss rod as needed over time (tighten a quarter turn in mid winter and loosen a quarter turn in mid summer).
+jAMMAN798 Thanks! I'm not planing to use anything heavier than what I use on my Fenders (10-46) so that shouldn't be a problem. I really like the sound and fact that it has satin finish. Keep making vids man!
Jaka Šter You can't go wrong with a Gibson. It will sound great (may require a tiny bit of setup), and it will sound great and more importantly, it will not depreciate very quickly.
I own a Explorer and it's a mindblown how the lower E string sounded exactly like mine does in the intro. Explorers have a majestic huge sound that sometimes it's just too hard to manage. Les Paul, daaaamn, sounds so balanced. 1.-LesPaul 2.-Explorer (obviously) 3.-SG 4.-Flying-V 5.-Melody Maker
I’ve got quite a few guitars, including all those shown (except the SG.) A Thornbucker pick-up, for example, on a Suhr doesn’t same sound as a P-90 tracking - but then they all definitely have their place. In a studio situation for a commercial or video game etc, the producer might suddenly want a telecaster or strat, then another segment will be more of a humbucker feel. Never hurts to have at least one single coil, humbucker & P-90 with you. Great comparison 👍
Maxwell Payne Thanks! I only used the TC Spark Boost while in Dynamic Mode on the Marshall when the SG comes in with the power chords and the lead that follows.
Done very well. All of these are nice, and this song/amp was the perfect test. Any digital delays and folks would have gone sour saying they're effectively deaf. Any reverb, blasphemy. But you pulled through. Obviously I feel everything could have been refined with effects, but myself would claim deaf, its true. If you really want to hear them, dry is the only way.
Eventual420 Thanks man, I appreciate the comment! In almost all of my videos I run guitars direct into the amp(s) for full tone effect. I've never been one to use guitar pedals much (unless 100% needed), I prefer the sound of the amp and how the guitar volume knob and picking attack plays a big part.
the only one i didn't really like was the lp melody maker, but all the other guitars are great! my preference has always been the sg, then les pauls are really cool too

Always been a V fan, but in all the vids I've watched of yours ... the SG sounds the tightest.

Russ Jalichandra I've already got a Flying V but from Wesley instead of Gibson. It's still pretty good so I might get a Gibson SG 2016.

1. SG
2. flying v
3. explorer
4. les paul
5. um yeah, the melody maker
That's because the song has different guitar parts. Everyone goes "yeaaaahhh" at a climax.
+Captain Sunday Yeah but it still sounded unique, and I said yeah not just because the climax but the sg genuinely sounded good
That is exactly my list😂
Same
My Favorites are the SG and the Explorer, i play they too :)
my opinion
1. explorer (in my opinion the greatest guitar ever)

Matt Bowen in the 80's they made explorer basses! you can find them pretty regularly on guitar center for $1,000-$2,000
+Brae Scanlon I know. I don't really like the look of them (no pickguard and matte pickup covers). I prefer the recent Epiphone ones which look almost exactly like an explorer. They're also around $200-300 when they do pop up on eBay
I totally agree.
Thank you for making this fine piece of melody. I'm not here to hear the comparison but to enjoy the entirety of it!
The Explorer is my favorite. I have two of them. I like the tone, feel, and the six in line grover pegs for tunninh stability. My les paul always seems to have one problem or another
The Explorer totally killed It. But the SG has that Sabbath Mojo... wow!
Wow...I have seen a lot on TH-cam but that was just Awsome!!! Explorer and the SG were my favourites for sure. And what a beautiful SG. Was playing an Explorer 2 days ago and fell in love but I enjoy the unique sound or the SG. Easier to live with too.
That was awesome dude! Great guitar playing and an excellent demonstration of the different tones from each guitar
Flying V and SG are seriously underrated. Everyone knows the Les Paul's, and Melody Makers can sound killer.
agree 100% the upper fret access on these beats the challenge on Les Paul. I do like the brighter tones of the SG and V for classic metal and rock as it cuts thru mix better and not as muddy as a Les Paul.
The Flying V was amazing!! *0*
For me: (to my own surprise)
1. SG
2. LP
3. FV
4. Ex
5. MM
I love that color of the SG. My eyes might have influenced my ears.
The V sounds great and is the most comfortable guitar I've ever played on. But... damn... that Les Paul is just so beautiful...
+Torkel S H IDK man I find the V to be so beautiful.

I actually think it's comfortable to sit with.
Different pickups = different sound.
and possibly different tone caps, plus the v and explorer only have a master tone as apposed to the sg and les pauls individual, which i know wouldnt make a huge tonal difference but something to keep in mind
more like strings which need a remplacement asap(flying v)
Bridges and neck joints make huge difference also
@@luapnoguob9828 Everything makes a difference!

My favorite was the SG, followed by the Flying V :) Man, I wish I could afford as many guitars as you... :(
For me the SG wins.
But damn, that explorer sounds awesome too.
But the SG is good for every style, my oppi. :)
Great video, thanks!
Sg is my dream guitar
I prefer explorers. They have a very good clean channel and those distorted tones were great, very to my likings. I feel like it suites rock or metal and it’s pretty nice for some clean noodling too.

That Flying V kicked ass!! With the SG a close 2nd in my opinion
The sustain on that Flying V is amazing!
It's strange cause I have same V Faded model and it's a great sounding guitar but sustain is average on mine.
I'm pretty sure he was using a compressor pedal
@@megamoose555 He was using TC Electronic Mini Spark before his amp. That't why Flying have so much sustain in this video
Came to your video for the V and Explorer. But after the video I'm in love with the Paul and SG.
Great video, and great playing. Kick Azz
Your Videos are awesome man !!!!! You compose these pieces yourself and program the drums and add a bassline ?
+guitarist6494 Thanks brother! For some tunes I compose the background music and for others I just use what is available online.
Love your vids man!!
Dying to see more comparisons and more of your playing!
kaljan Thanks! More vids are 'slowly' on the way.
SG sounded the best all around to me. V and Explorer were also good.
sg 's are the workhorse, they literally do everything
Great video including the recording and editing . All the guitars sound great with each having a unique voice .

Flying V sounds softer and more subtle. I like it.
The guitars, the amp, the song, and the player are perfect.
양규석 Thank you!
Now that's how you make a video! Love all those guitars, but my V changed my life forever!
I can't choose! I think I preferred the Melody Maker the least... But that's a reflection on how good the other guests are, not how bad the MM was.
I want all this guitars, but I didn't like melody maker, so my dream was to by Flying V and I prefer this guitar
Flying V all the way. It's my dream to own a V and I would burn my great grandfather's name into the back with a metal stencil and lighter. Plus the v had that crazy sustain.

I expected the LP to have the best sound, but really, I’d stick with my fav the Explorer.
Beautiful SG! Best electric guitar ever built!!

+lanworkx Thank you for the compliment. I usually plug the guitars straight into the amps with no effects. If I use an effect, I show it in the video.
@@jAMMAN798 There is a insane sustain at 2:36. How did you get it? By mini spark ?
On gibson's site it says that the SG has unparalleled sustain, but after seeing what that Flying V did, i'm not so sure...
Such classic sounds, love it!
I own a v, Les Paul and explorer too but I always grab the les Paul
wow the music is wonderful...each guitar finds her place...really enjoyed
+Richard Pagani Thanks man, I appreciate that!

Is it comfortable to hold a flying V like a classical guitar? Looking forward to buy one but I'm only comfortable with the classical guitar position

slash vs james hetfield vs kirk hammett vs angus young vs billie joe
I would have said Downing instead of Hammett
@@jerrumite4425 oh yeah downing is a god compared to kirk, as much as I like both I agree
@@bjeizus521 I was just saying that the flying v is more associated with Downing, not comparing skill.
Awesome playing man! I loved how the V sounds, I don't like it's shape but I guess it's part of that great tone, I'd go for the SG or the LP.
Roberto Mendiola Thanks for the comment.
Could you tell me please what are the chords for the beginning of this song?
On the Marshall Vintage Modern, did you use the mid boost in both modes? Epic video btw! Sounds great!!!
Maxwell Payne Thanks! I only used the TC Spark Boost while in Dynamic Mode on the Marshall when the SG comes in with the power chords and the lead that follows.
Also - as always - the audio is excellent as is the video editing. May have to tune up my 2014 Gibson Melody Maker!
