Hey Ola, 1st of all THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH for using the JVM410H to do the test/review as its "supposedly" Daves choice of Marshall amps these days and also uts the amp i have 😃 Now i think the "Megadeth" tone you had in this clip is absolutely BALL TEARING and i was wondering if you could please share what channel and settings you used so i can try them on my JVM to try achieve a similar Megadeth tone when im jammong their tunes, pleeeeease 🙏? Thanks in advance, legend.
He should do that more, the 'Ola riff' is a meme but it does make me forget how well Ola can play the classics if he just plays the same 3 riffs when testing shit.
what? It's really not even that close to the original tone at all, at least not on the album version. His version sounds way better than the original album tone. The original is very heavy on the attack with not much bass or harmonic content. Ola's is much more saturated, a lot more gain, and just overall sounds more interesting.
Like the incredibly rare XPL series from the 80s. I think that’s the best shape of the V right after the 1958 original. One piece body and an explorer headstock, no pickguard. Trash perfection
That's definitely one of the Gibson's I could consider buying, however Kramer's take on that might be closer to reality because of price and esp. availability. And honestly I think Kramer's V-shape reminds me more about Dave than that Gibson, but that might be just me.
Took my limited edition Gibson sg olive drab USA SME exclusive 4-6 months after ordering, I can only imagine the wait times on these! I do dig this v a lot, think they should offer one with Floyd rose. Oh and slap on grovers on ALL Gibson... My Gibson has some pretty crap vintage kulson tuners, they feel like a toy compared to my normal epiphone non lockers grovers
After all these years, I still think of Dave as a Jackson player. I was finally getting used to him playing Deans and now hes playing Gibsons lol Damn nice looking V though. Dave gets what Dave wants.
@@hughneutron5303 Wow. How long has it been since Dave played a BC Rich? 1982? I never make that mental connection. When I think BC Rich I think Kerry King, Chuck Schuldiner, and Trey Azagthoth
24 frets on a Gibson V! Excellent. And it can be yours for a mere $2800! What a bargain! Sounds epic. Not much of a V guy, but you can't argue with tone.
Definitely got Dave’s live tone down, I got a Dean Peace Sells sig model at the house and it’s really awesome, Dave always has a knack for putting out great signature models.
i gotta give it to Dave with this one, I've never even thought about owning a gibson, but this guitar has the power to sway me. Most hilariously... Dave Mustain is bringing Gibson into the "new era"
Gotta tell ya man, your sets are always so fucking good. The giant curved wall of stacks is next level from what the rest of the guys on TH-cam are doing.
I waited 6 months and finally got the silver one. It's a really great guitar. I love the 25.5 inch scale and 24 frets. The quality is really good, especially the nut and fretwork. No issues, plays really well!
This guitar is sick af I really want a Dave mustaine V of some type either a Jackson V or the Gibson I’m not sure yet, I wish that Gibson gave this a pointy headstock like the Jackson’s. Either way they all sound great. Ola does this Justice as always putting it through it’s paces
If you want the pointy headstock then just go for the original Mustaine Jackson or even Dean 🤷🏻♂️ I personaly love that they put the Exp head on a V 😍 Would like better upper fret access though!
@@Alexanderzzzzon Good luck getting your hands on an original Jackson. It took me 15 years to get one & a wire transfer to Argentina. The whole deal took 6 months to complete. UPS charged me $534 shipping! It was worth it in the end, but I don’t know if I’d go through all that again. It took a LOT of work.
Dean has a signature dave mustaine V but I'd rather get the jackson king v, dave has been using jackson king v's for years and jackson has king v"s ranging form $330 to $4,200 I'm kinda biased since I own a jackson king v myself but it's your choice on what guitar you want I was just saying that a jackson king v isn't a bad choice.
So these models were first coming out to the general public around the time that I purchased my SG. If I had decided to be a bit more patient I probably would’ve gotten the green version of this guitar, but I enjoy my SG right now, and I definitely plan to buy one of these V’s in a few years once I am more financially stable
I'm actually very impressed with these. I expected nothing different from the usual rehash Gibson puts out but Dave actually got them to do something different. Really cool.
You didn’t get lucky, Gibson has been working so so so hard to improve their QC and I think it’s gonna show with these 2021 builds getting in people’s hands. I’m part of the response team for the QC kick outs so I’m responsible for weird issues a guitar has before it’s finished, so I may be biased, but i and the whole team hope you like the guitar!
If you’ve mostly been playing your dad’s jazz machines, or 50s-modeled gibsons, those are necks are a lot bigger than most Gibson necks. I have a 50s Les Paul and two studios, and the 50s one is bigger than a Tele neck.
Ola Englund is extremely skillful! Today I have watched their video where he described all the benefits of Gibson guitar 🎸! Ola has also shown some fragments from several Megadeth tracks (Holy wars & Symphony of destruction) & it was really cool! 🔥🤘
awesome sound, cool guitar and amazing playing man! I just got 2 Gibson USA's in the last year my first as well. Dave Mustaine for sure should do a Coffee w/ Ola!!!! Tell Kiko to get him.
Fantastic review. I can totally see you were with the tightness/chunk of the pups. I love the V with the hockey stick. I’d go as far as to say it looks better.
I can see the quality in this piece. I wonder what it would sound like with a JB and a Jazz in the neck for Lizzy, Zep, VH Type hard rock. I think it would be killer
That doesn’t really make any difference. It’s a sophistry. The distance to the strings makes an obvious difference. Beyond that, it’s just how hot the pickup is.
Dude, Awesome video! Dave Mustang‘s always been one of my favorite and seeing one of my newest favorite guitarist playing Megadeth it’s pretty bad ass🤘
Wow. That is absolutely the best looking Mustaine signature guitar I have ever seen. I CANNOT wait until Gibson releases Kirk's new model and James new model.
Ola, your mix is sick AF. I know you are a metal distortion god, but we need to give you credit on your sick Bass tone. Especially how it sits with the drums. Please do a video on your bass tone!
Totally nails that sound.... But. I haven't seen hide nor hair of the Epiphone or Kramer versions which I guess would be more in line with people's price points.
Ola makes my day always 😁 Thank you bro. I'm not a fan of Gibson guitars...but this one is sick. But I always loved Dave Mustaine's King V's by Jackson....and Deans are awesome too.
It was the absolute first Gibson guitar I ever bought, too. I F'n love it! But I'm a HUGE Megadeth fan, so I'm extremely biased. Mine arrived flawless. Only complaint I had was the action was way to high, but that was easy to adjust.
Meh. Personally the short scale is one of the things I like about Gibsons. Less tension. Also, those controls are exactly like his old Jackson signature, and the Dean models had the same set up. They look fine to me, but I also have an old Randy Rhoads myself so I'm used to them in that configuration.
Man I've seen a few reviews so far, this guitar does not only sound the best with Ola, but the color is great, of course that's the camera, lighting and maybe some color grading. I'm more of the Hetfield fan and even with Het's silhouette everywhere and name on the pickup, I would never buy it because it's Gibson, but it does seem like a fine fast downpicking instrument. Great review!
Ahh the days of my youth spent dreaming of that offset flying v from Jackson I wanted so bad. Worked my ass off after school and the weekends and eventually bought one, sold it within a couple months. When I'm practicing I play sitting. With a v you got one way to sit the guitar and the neck dive was enough to just make it not fun to even try and play. Even with a strap it was still sorta neck divey
I got a gibson flying V in 2021.. Amazing guitar.. My only complaint may be the scale length after being use to a strat. This guitar with the extended scale seems like it may be perfect. Mine is still amazing though.. Changing out the Burst Buckers for Ceramic Bare Knuckles in the coming weeks.. Excited
I'm going to say OD 2 as the mids are more scooped. Probably the red mode as I can't see Ola using any tube screamer. But having owned a jvm for a lot of years the crunch red mode with a tube screamer sounds very 80s thrash. Hope this helps If Ola doesn't get back to your comment?
@@darrenc8776 Yeah thanks man, Probably an OD channel. Noticed the "absence" of a tube screamer or boost ...sounded really good. Just wasn't sure of the mode on the OD ,,,if thats red liked how it sounded for sure!
Few people treat playing someone else’s music as well as Ola does. From getting the tone right, to playing the actual notes, to playing them well. I feel you respect the songs. (A cover can either be a carbon copy, or a proper your own take. But it should never be just bad or sloppy thing.) Hell, I’ve even heard you cover Iron Maiden and it sounding good. Maiden covers usually just sound terrible.
Those inlays are sick!!! They really make the look of that badass guitar!!! Not to mention one of my favorite headstock shapes! (The old hockey stick shape)!!!
As its a Gibson, the first questions that come to mind is, does it stay in tune, did the headstock break when you just glanced at it the wrong way and did you have to sell your first born?
Oh c'mon, don't listen to Glenn "Bitter" Fricker. That stuff is nonsense. Yes they are pricey, but I only have one of them and it's the most solid guitar in my collection
Don’t believe all the hype that it’s cool to hate on Gibson. I just bought a used Gibson Explorer for only a couple hundred more than what high end Schecters and LTDs are going for. Stays in tune great and as far as head stocks go, treat it like every other guitar: don’t drop it. It is a pleasure to play.
Gibsons are fine in general, they're just not worth the asking price. That's the real issue. And SGs break. A lot. Arguably more than any other guitar out there.
This particular model looks like the old custom shop Jacksons he was playing around 2002ish I think, definitely an older school vibe imo. The kramer model that was teased look a lot more like his DV8Rs (ESP) and VMNTs (Bean) that he had going on afterwards. So him doing an older vibe model checks out because he has that shape crop up in the past.
Hopefully Gibson has improved their quality control issues under their new management. They still need improvements in the area of marketing and making guitars that are accessible to young people like Fender has done so well in recent years. TH-camr Rhett Shull did a good video recently on the subject. Interestingly, quality control issues have long been a subject with Fender and Gibson. During the 1970s, people were scrambling to buy 1960s Les Pauls and Stratocasters because they were better than what was being made in the 70s. Nowadays, a Gibson or Fender from the 1970s will cost you a pretty penny. Anyways, sorry for the ramble. Cool guitar and the JVM tones are sick \m/.
I feel like Gibson QC has always been spotty. My favorite guitar is my Les Paul and I have Japanese Ibanezes, USA Fenders and Carvins, etc. 90% of the gibsons I’ve played have been great, but about 10% have issues that they shouldn’t have at that price. Moral of the story is try to play the Gibson you are purchasing before exchanging money.
That Rhett Shull video is nonsense . He saw a post on the GP and just made a video about it . Gibson is selling guitars faster than it ever has and can't make them fast enough . If youngsters aren't seen with them it's because of $$$ nothing to so with the desirability or reputation .
For me, I just love the hockey stick headstock. Always will be one of my favorites. I just think I’m more of an Explorer body kinda guy. Still looking for a decently taken care of Golden Axe
For a brief weird moment in the 80s Gibson made some Les Pauls with Explorer headstocks, those looked pretty cool too. I think it was the Aldo Nova model, remember him? I keep wanting to build an Explorer with a Les Paul headstock, strictly to annoy purists. :D Good luck looking for a decently taken care of old Explorer. I browse for them now and then, and people want CRAZY prices for old beat-up road warriors that need fret jobs and whatnot. I'm sure glad I never sold my '84 Explorer with factory-installed Kahler; it would cost so much to get even a raggedy-ass one now that I'd probably be better off having a custom one made. That Mastodon model you mentioned is a beautiful instrument, but I just looked and people want almost three grand for one in "good/very good" condition. Forget that noise.
Keep it up Gibson! You're on the right track. Just get someone to take better pictures in the Demo and Mod shops, and keep getting better at quality control. First time seeing one of your videos, sir. Very, very well done. Have a wonderful day all.
Looks cool, sounds good, and seems like Gibson may have made a guitar that stays in tune. But, for me, the best part is the life-size Dave silhouette on the back of the headstock.😂
I really like that JVM into Greenback combination! Would definitely want that myself :) Also, that Thrash Factor sounds soooo tight aswell! All of them together sound so perfect for thrash :)

You can get it from www.olaenglundshop.com
Hey Ola, 1st of all THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH for using the JVM410H to do the test/review as its "supposedly" Daves choice of Marshall amps these days and also uts the amp i have 😃

Thanks in advance, legend.
I dig the saxophone in the outro
that combination of Marshall and Gibson sounded awesome! Need to see more of that JVM please :D
Brother you nailed that riff man...I hope I would able to play it at that level 👏👏👏🤘
I just ordered the Starzinger Ultimate Edition and Metal Morning shirt yesterday 🤘🤘🤘
I’m actually blown away that you opted to do Holy Wars and went all the way with it it in a full mix. It sounded fucking perfect.
He should do that more, the 'Ola riff' is a meme but it does make me forget how well Ola can play the classics if he just plays the same 3 riffs when testing shit.

@@TheEpicLinkFreeman right but not the same tuning (lower here) and 30 years earlier it was an bomb released...
Not gonna lie, that Explorer head stock looks pretty amazing on that Flying V body.
imitating Jackson works I guess
Too bad the owner of Dean passed and his son is ruining the brand. That’s why Dave and so many artists jumped ship.
Its like an old epiphone ive got . The body is a little shorter though ( shorter wings) but it has that same shape head
Like the incredibly rare XPL series from the 80s. I think that’s the best shape of the V right after the 1958 original. One piece body and an explorer headstock, no pickguard. Trash perfection

That's definitely one of the Gibson's I could consider buying, however Kramer's take on that might be closer to reality because of price and esp. availability. And honestly I think Kramer's V-shape reminds me more about Dave than that Gibson, but that might be just me.
Dave always played pointy V's. He played King V's, and this is a Flying V. It's not just you.
Not sold on it, I like the solar look by far would love to buy one

He’ll jump ship and be off Gibson soon enough too! 😂
Ain't that the truth lol

Been a Megadeth fan for years and is the main reason why I love metal and have found other great music like your own. Really enjoyed this review.
Probably the best guitar tone you got so far! ❤️
I think you just sold out the *next* run of the Dave Mustain sig V with your playing and tone. Sounds incredible, man!
I'm actually very impressed with these. I expected nothing different from the usual rehash Gibson puts out but Dave actually got them to do something different. Really cool.

Gibsons Explorer and V necks are mostly thinner and more shreddy! Wich I absolutely love about those models
If you’ve mostly been playing your dad’s jazz machines, or 50s-modeled gibsons, those are necks are a lot bigger than most Gibson necks. I have a 50s Les Paul and two studios, and the 50s one is bigger than a Tele neck.
Ola, At The Gates will be performing 5 mins from my home.
And with one of my fave bands
Municipal waste... I'm stoked
Absolutely love the sound of this setup.
GREAT review Ola!!! Now I just spent 3 grand on that guitar cuz of your review. Love it
That JVM with those pickups is killer!
The Thrash Factor set may be my favorite pickup set of all time. They're nasty.
It's a really good pickup!
The tone is killer man; i was kind of anxious about him leaving dean at first but the guitar turned out alot better than i expected
One of the coolest Gibson's I ever seen. 😎🤘
The tone is awesome in this one! Nice setup. And what a gorgeous guitar! Gibson should do more guitars like this.
Great video, would love to see more JVM on future videos

Probably this is the best intro of the channel this year! Love it man!
What song is it? I agree.
@@andrewescobar434 holy wars.
So glad you did it through the JVM…
I can see the quality in this piece. I wonder what it would sound like with a JB and a Jazz in the neck for Lizzy, Zep, VH Type hard rock. I think it would be killer
Love the return of the JVM! 🤘
The tight response also comes from the distance from the pickup to the bridge. On Gibsons that distance is smaller.
That doesn’t really make any difference. It’s a sophistry. The distance to the strings makes an obvious difference. Beyond that, it’s just how hot the pickup is.
Excellent. I played one, well balanced and a blast to play. The sound was on the bassy side, this then to get muddy on fast links.
Dude, Awesome video! Dave Mustang‘s always been one of my favorite and seeing one of my newest favorite guitarist playing Megadeth it’s pretty bad ass🤘
Has that Gibson low end thump, love it!!
Great pickups!
Wow. That is absolutely the best looking Mustaine signature guitar I have ever seen. I CANNOT wait until Gibson releases Kirk's new model and James new model.

The kramer model that was teased look a lot more like his DV8Rs (ESP) and VMNTs (Bean) that he had going on afterwards. So him doing an older vibe model checks out because he has that shape crop up in the past.
What a sound punch. Directly in face. Nice :)
A wild Gibson that I'd actually enjoy buying has appeared!
Hopefully Gibson has improved their quality control issues under their new management. They still need improvements in the area of marketing and making guitars that are accessible to young people like Fender has done so well in recent years. TH-camr Rhett Shull did a good video recently on the subject.
Interestingly, quality control issues have long been a subject with Fender and Gibson. During the 1970s, people were scrambling to buy 1960s Les Pauls and Stratocasters because they were better than what was being made in the 70s. Nowadays, a Gibson or Fender from the 1970s will cost you a pretty penny.
Anyways, sorry for the ramble. Cool guitar and the JVM tones are sick \m/.
I feel like Gibson QC has always been spotty. My favorite guitar is my Les Paul and I have Japanese Ibanezes, USA Fenders and Carvins, etc. 90% of the gibsons I’ve played have been great, but about 10% have issues that they shouldn’t have at that price. Moral of the story is try to play the Gibson you are purchasing before exchanging money.
That Rhett Shull video is nonsense . He saw a post on the GP and just made a video about it . Gibson is selling guitars faster than it ever has and can't make them fast enough . If youngsters aren't seen with them it's because of $$$ nothing to so with the desirability or reputation .

For me, I just love the hockey stick headstock. Always will be one of my favorites. I just think I’m more of an Explorer body kinda guy. Still looking for a decently taken care of Golden Axe
For a brief weird moment in the 80s Gibson made some Les Pauls with Explorer headstocks, those looked pretty cool too. I think it was the Aldo Nova model, remember him?
I keep wanting to build an Explorer with a Les Paul headstock, strictly to annoy purists. :D
Good luck looking for a decently taken care of old Explorer. I browse for them now and then, and people want CRAZY prices for old beat-up road warriors that need fret jobs and whatnot. I'm sure glad I never sold my '84 Explorer with factory-installed Kahler; it would cost so much to get even a raggedy-ass one now that I'd probably be better off having a custom one made. That Mastodon model you mentioned is a beautiful instrument, but I just looked and people want almost three grand for one in "good/very good" condition. Forget that noise.
I remember back in the day when you hadn’t even really given Megadeth a chance really or gotten into them much. Now look at you! 🤘🤘
I have The Gibson Lizzy Hale Explorer and the Neck is really small compared to my other Gibson's, especially at the nut
Hey man, that f1ck5n tone KILLS!!! THOSE CHUGS complemented by your cool playing are really cool!!!
Keep it up Gibson! You're on the right track. Just get someone to take better pictures in the Demo and Mod shops, and keep getting better at quality control.
First time seeing one of your videos, sir. Very, very well done.
Have a wonderful day all.
Looks cool, sounds good, and seems like Gibson may have made a guitar that stays in tune. But, for me, the best part is the life-size Dave silhouette on the back of the headstock.😂
That rig is so cool! I love how that v looks
Love your videos!!
You made the intro look so effortless, not just to the songs like the whole intro bit. love the content, KEEP IT UP
This setup sounds so good. I'd riff all day with that tone
That was AWESOME!
When Gibson really tries, they seriously make the best axes on the planet by a long shot
Wow absolutely beautiful! Beautifully demonstrated as well!!!
I wish Gibson would make more guitars like these. This is the kind of sh!t that sells.
Gibsons sell...but who's buying?
@@sleepdeep305 OUCH!

I wouldn’t count on it from the Harley Davidson of guitars….
I really like that JVM into Greenback combination! Would definitely want that myself :)
Also, that Thrash Factor sounds soooo tight aswell!
All of them together sound so perfect for thrash :)
I prefer every other Mustaine model, I don’t like the rounded wings. Had the Axxion for a minute. It was nice enough…
Damn, the tone and mix on this was just phenomenal!
Exp stands for expensive....
First time watching one of your videos. Awesome playing and sound! Thank you.
Dave Mustaine is like Petrucci and others in that he had an iconic signature model, but then moved company and made something worse
This is my next Gibson!
