I moved to Altamonte Springs Florida in 1990. I went to the mall to by some guitar magazines at the book store. The were 2 young teens talking to a guy with long jet black hair. The kids looked very happy. When the guy walked off, I asked them who that was. They go, " Dude, you don't know who that is ? That's Chuck Schuldiner of Death". I am now, but at the time I wasn't familiar with his band. About a year later I was working at a furniture store and a fellow employee found out I played guitar . He told me his neighbor Chuck was an awesome guitarist. One day we went to his apartment for lunch and Chuck was walking up the sidewalk. He introduced me to him. He was really nice and kinda quiet. Guess he was saving it for the stage. What a loss. The Orlando Metal Community really came together for his family. So sorry he went through alot of pain before he passed away. You have great taste in guitars and guitarists and play really well. Take care.
Richard Binder nice story thanks for sharing
I think you nailed the tone too
seriously nailed the tone, well done!
His playing was freakin great.
I think it's primarily because of the X2N pickup
i once replaced a dimebucker for an x2n
Needs chorus.
though being grown up with hetfield and having and adoration for pantera, chuck is the musician who inspires me more to this day.
same man lol
☝️☝️☝️Same, dudes! 🤙
Grew up emulating James and Kirk (dual EMG81 or 81/60 gang gang), fell in love with Pantera, but when I discovered Death and heard Chuck's interviews I was instantly hooked
100%
It's already been mentioned a few times, but the tone is amazing.
ironically it doesn't have a tone knob
It's the Kemper...
BC Rich is all about good tone.
@@bigdEnergy666 🤔🤔
Don't think too hard, pal.
B.C Rich guitars are some of the most underrated and forgotten guitars these days. Very sad...
Yeah, unfortunately they are going down. My first guitar was a Warlock, but I would never sell this treasure!
You should check out their instagram or facebook page! They've gotten new management ( I think) and they might be making a comeback :)
@JezBollah 667 I think some of the new stuff is pretty cool, but the rerelease of the stealth is awesome
And now they are coming back :)
Thats because they started making guitars in shape of witch brooms. They are trying to make a comeback. They claim to be working on new shapes and models. Well Last few shapes they came up with were unplayable. Stealth is my favorite shape, sadly they don´t make it anymore.
My oldest son was named after "Chuck" so a very big thank you for carrying on his legacy. Symbolic is the quintessential Death album.
Killer work! You basically hear Chuck's vocals in the opening track! Great tribute to the man.
RIP Chuck Schuldiner, my biggest inspiration as a human being
Love it dude!
Didn't expect to see you here Hunter.
Agufish #NOTIFICATIONSQUAD
Isnt this guy always saying he hates pointy guitars??
That guitar actually looks comfortable, a rarity among guitars with v shapes
Thank You!
you are welcome
When you played in the beginning I was singing along...oh man the amount of nostalgia for Death this review brought up in me.
My journey in to progressive music and guitar started with Death. Thank you for this review. Never had the opportunity to see Schuldiner live...feel a little sad now:(
What was the first song?
@@otavio048 Zero Tolerance
@@ButtahDawgMcDouble thx
Can I just say that I really appreciate the level of detail and effort that you put into your video descriptions. From all the people that read descriptions, cheers.
Don't be afraid to change the nut or add locking tuners, it will only improve it.
yea that's what i'd do for sure. locking tuners, quadmatic bridge , new graphtech tusq xl nut, and an emg 81 pup. I'd prolly paint it with a gorgeous bright translucent finish as well. maybe a green or purple? oh and when i changed the hw it would all be black cuz chrome hw pisses me off. Cheers from Canada! great review man. \m/
I would add a floyd trem on top of the 81 👍👍
or maybe you just get another guitar lol
ttgl urgot the point is to have Chuck's guitar boi
Locking tuners is bull. Makes no difference
I just ordered BC Rich Stealth Legacy Exotic cant wait that arrives.
Absolutely kick ass, you nailed the sound, thanks for keeping Chucks legacy alive. \m/
When do g strings ever stay in tune?
Keep the good work man! Great to see that Chuck is still alive!
Very cool stuff man! I can see how much Sylosis was influenced by Chuck, great playing Arnold!
I was able to get mine for about $700, but these have gone up a ton in price since they are so hard to find. At least the very few I have seen around online.
Awesome review dude! Keep it up!
the best review of this guitar I've seen so far
One of my favorite death songs! Awesome tone, and great playing man!
Beautiful instrument, and you play it well. Chuck has always been one of my favorites.
Man I am addicted to your videos. Binge watched all of them in 2 days haha
Awesome review! R.I.P. Chuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is beautiful. Rest in peace Chuck.
Fun fact: I just tried the X2N and pretty much hated it, but this is my favorite tone out of all your reviews so far.
Simon Sludge Is it noisy?
Simon Sludge all your guitars are fuckin nice ive followed u for a while on insta
I was using the noise gate on my Kemper, so I can't really say. I just found it sounded very compressed and too dark in the low end and fizzly in the top end.
Thanks!
Simon Sludge I know blade humbuckers are really trebly
Solid review man, better than a majority of TH-cam channels these days
The thumbnail was misleading... this is a high quality video man! Tone/playing/review was awesome 🤘
I remember when you could find these at just about every major retailer for $999.99 USD. Back then, I was only 16 and just started playing guitar and working my first job. Unfortunately, by the time I saved up enough to buy one of these, they were discontinued and nowhere to be found :( Now I need to scour Ebay and Reverb to find one!
Do it!
Well, I did find one; the bidding war begins! Wish me luck TH-cam community!
Did you get it?
go get it, korean bc riches are real treasures.
Not yet. The auction still has 4 days to go.
Great job on the Symbolic stuff! I took some lessons from Bobby Koelble here in Central Florida awhile back. Awesome guy just like Chuck.
That's very very solid playing and with the tone aswell. Nice one
I remember seeing these in person. These guitars were super cool. Sounded and played awesome too!
Sounds amazing
Chuck and James are my two top inspirations.
There's one of these at my local shop... As soon as I come up with the money, I'm gonna pick it up cause I love Death and BC Rich.
Well, did you end up getting it?
the rewie says it all...you write all of your riff on it..no reason to change anything, it does the job as you want. it inspires you
One of my most sought after guitars! Hope to get one eventually.
From a fan to a fan: thx for the review, I learned a lot about Chuck and his playing by watching.
I love my Stealth. I picked it up for 900$ new when they first came out. It's currently in storage, and I should really get it back out and playable again. Thanks for reviewing it, and I'm totally with you on keeping it stock in order to pay homage to the late and great Chuck! 🤘🤘🤘
Tone sounds great! Chuck was a true master of brilliant simplicity.
i paid 500 for mine mint used, its my favorite instrument i've ever owned
I'm so glad you did this review. This guitar means the world to me. I don't play any B.C. Rich guitars, but I've always wanted this guitar. Chuck Schuldiner and Death are my biggest influence in music. You got a good one.
Hey Arnold!!! Awesome guitar and guitar playing. I wasn't into DEATH at the time Chuck was alive. Now I regret not getting into his group when he was around. I'm definitely a Chuck S. fan now.
My nephew bought one a couple years back. He defined his playing skills very well on it. He said that originally he got it reasonably priced for about, only 575.00$$!!
Amazing tone, great job!
best tone in a vid I've watched of yours yet
finally! have been waiting for this one haha
awesome man!
Another great video. I'll take your advice and add some more Death to my music collection. Good on ya for doing what you can to keep the flame burning for Chuck.
It was great! Thanks!
Finally more riffs and beer!
awesome dude
love the lead tone and playing great stuff
Amazing. Spot on!
I'm falling in love with you man (no homo). Your videos are so freaking interesting to watch i just keep on clicking.
Thank you for making these, keep up the great work !
30 years later this guitar still a beast!
very nice, I've been debating for over a year what my next guitar will be and after watching you play it I'm sold on the Stealth. It has such a crisp sound and the hardware is excellent plus I love the 24 fret wide neck
The X2N is just an amazing pickup. I had one on my LTD/ESP. This is THE best passive pickup.
This is brilliant!
sick tone man chuck would be proud
*Big Ben’s Nut Sauce*
the unfortunately named
C'mon, they knew what they were doing when they named it. All this cancelculture shit has bled into the rock world, when a noise cancelling stomp box cant be called a "cock blocker" and PC Rich changes the name of one of their most famous guitars. The "B"..... how gay is that. I get it, but doesnt mean i like it.
Belial61 Stop whining
Have the X2N in my LP, it's just killer and preferred over my owned EMG's. Nicely done review and nice tone Arnold (and for the sake of Chuck's legacy: nice guitar)!
That is a massive tone!!!! This guitar is built to do one thing and that's to thrash!!! A very good and honest review also.
Aaaah i love it
I love the fact that your playing at the beginning retains the feeling of the song.
I swear the necks on these things are just pure bliss, Takes me back to a time before everyone became spec snobs, A good guitar was the one that felt right in your hands, Still have my beast which has almost the same feeling profile just slightly wider i'm hoping BC Rich as a whole will take note of this review and make some production models that are a bit more up to date but still bring you back to a time when spikey guitars were cool.
Hahahaha! Props to you for leaving the nose dip in! Made my day!
Great vid bro🤘😏
Amazing tone
Superb!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You fucking killed it man! Such great playing!
Wow that’s the best death tone I’ve ever heard
I remember hearing the Symbolic album when I was a teenager.
Album slayed me.
I always see Chuck and Randy Rhoads as my top 2 guitarists of all time.
killer review, brotha! \,,/
Very nice tone indeed
that looks quite comfortable to play in classical position.
"GET IN THE VAN" Bought that book many years ago.
Chuck was not only a great player, but he had truly complete tone which you showed here. His riff tone was the opposite of say a Dimebag's, you could hear every note. And his lead tone is scary as fuck.
That is a great guitar, I own one as well. Only mod done was swap the bridge for a bc rich quad bridge, took care of that g string issue.
Killer playing🤟
I wish I had one, it’s hard to find when you’re left handed
Best guitar review ever!
try Chapstick in that nut slot. the kind in the lipstick tube, not the gel type. take the string out of slot, scrape some chapstick off with your pick, press it into the slot, put the string back in the slot. This has been working best for me for 40 yrs! it might not be perfect, but it's the best thing I've tried. Also make sure your that slot is wide enough and smooth enough. that g string is relatively straight. you should be able to get it to stay in tune pretty well.
Beautiful cover dude. Agreed on all points. I’ve swapped pickups a bunch, and settled on an Avedissian Railsplitter in white, to nod to Chuck’s white X2N he had in one of his. I may change the nut someday, maybe the tuners too, but I’ll never part with it. Essential to have from a tribute to a hero musician. Thanks for reviewing! Let the metal flow! \M/
Hi. On short scale guitars I use 10-60 strings. It gives it that extra toughness and heaviness in the lover range. Also makes it perfect for drops. Thx for the video
He literally created a Genre.Chuck was way ahead of his time.Rest Well.Great Playing.
This guitar is very similar to my Ironbird so inspiring to wright with though my Ironbird is a cheep nj series with an emg 85
dude I digg your reviews keep it up.
Nice job man! \m/
Man this is SUPER COOL ! :)
nice job🤟
I did not think that you'd sound that close to Schuldiner, but damn! Good job on that tone and playing as well. Your vibratos sound like Chuck!
I love your playing man. These reviews are great. Your original riffs are great and I think it was cool that you played some Death. Also it's cool when you play Rising Force to demo the split coils haha! :D
may his legacy live on forever!
Dude, awesome awesome job. \m/
Only one comment - your camera setup makes it a little hard to see the dimensions of the guitar accurately. Other than that, awesome awesome vid \m/
24th fret guitar face, how is that not a meme yet?! Great video brother
Chuck is also a guitar hero of mine. I remember reading about his passing and how devastated I was. Death was a huge influence on me as a musician. I also had this guitar for a while. I bought it when they first released it. My number one complaint was it is not a balanced instrument. At least mine wasn't. You could not stand up with it and play comfortably. It would always neck dive. I even moved the strap pins around but it didn't help. I ended up selling it (which I really regret now) but at the time I was in a band and I really needed an instrument that would play in a live setting. You might think about adding something like that to your guitar reviews. How balanced is the guitar? You'd be surprised how many guitars fail on that level. It can look good, play good and sound good but if you can't strap it on and jam with the boys then it can also suck. That is the first thing I check for now a days. How does it hang on the body. Just a friendly suggestion. Great video and review.
The Korean BC Rich guitars are really hidden gems. I have a Pro X Eagle and I play it more than just about any of my other guitars. Like you said, there's just something inspiring about how it plays for me. Have you taken a look at any of the new BC Rich guitars? I've been really curious about them, but they seem pretty pricey to me.
Arnold, I have watched a couple of your videos and they are nice to watch you really go through your stuff -great job. Couldn't help to notice, is that a Forbidden twisted into form tattoo?Kudos if it is... rock on anyhow!
Great Exodus poster in the background
One thing you can do is get the nut checked for proper string height and get the slots re-cut both at a downward angle as the headstock and also at the angle to the string post. Strings tend to get hung up on a stock plastic nut. There was 2 models, yours and the higher grade with Quad bridge and larger heastock decal.
After a year of searching Ive got a beauty for 450€ & I was watching on the right place and the right time!
Lucky man!!
Awesome Playing! It is nice to see another Chuck fan. He is one of my all time favorite song writers. He inspired me so much by his music and the way he wrote his lyrics. Once more AWESOME playing, and beautiful guitar. One question, is it the same size as the one Chuck played, it looks smaller in pictures? Thank you☺
