Because its made in China its shit, correct? That is what you are saying? Personally I don't trust any guitar manufacture that puts May Cause Cancer Stickers on their guitars like you do. Seriously
Buying one of these on line is like trying to buy marijuana in Texas... What's the big deal? If the quality is so bad then why would people buy them. Seriously would you rather have a Tesco instead of the fake BH flying V ?
I did some work on a Kit/DIY Flying V Style Guitar that is not only much larger than a standard Gibson Flying V but also utilizes the Fender Scale Length (25.5"). A Gibson Flying V is about 19" from the bottom of each wingtip. The Kit/DIY instrument I worked on was almost 22" for the same measurement. The larger body also greatly increases the overall length of the guitar. Biggest PITA was finding a case for this style/size guitar, I spent almost a week looking with the help of my Sweetwater Sales Rep. and finally found a nicely padded Gig-bag originally intended for a Bass Guitar. Aside from being a Chibson style guitar this example is pretty cool. It would greatly benefit from a proper setup and new pickups/electronics. Let me know if you need a case for this guitar Austin, I can go through my records and send you the model number.
@@pissonguitarcenter8204 No one, even Trogly, is saying that a guitar is “crap” JUST because it is made in China (or anywhere else outside the US for that matter). Every guitar maker who builds guitars in California is REQUIRED by state law to post the cancer warning on their products if it contains any of a very long list of items that the state has determined could cause cancer. Most (if not all) guitars will have something (if not multiple things) on that list.
Damn I'd love to see jackson put out a massive v like his one is. That thing is gigantic Also with how weird kfc has been as of late I wouldn't be surprised if buckethead gets an official endorsement, considering they put out a dating sim, and a lifetime movie with mario lopez
The Purple ESP M-series Buckethead used in the mid-90s will always be the secondary guitar I associate with him after the custom Les Paul. Look up the 2-29-1996 performance of Scraps to see him using it. Also the Praxis concert in Poland. He also used an early 80s Ibanez Rocket Roll II that was on some amazing Praxis live shows. His tone in the 90s on those two guitars was incredible.
Because gaming is bigger than ever and guitar is the opposite. Now everyone prefers garbage music. They could do it but they care about profit margins above being a cool company.
I was surprised to hear you say KFC was not happy with Buckethead wearing their packaging as KFC has been running Buckethead promotions at cricket games in Australia pre-Covid and now a Buckethead at home promotion
Okay so i'm doing some logical guesswork here since i've been interested in the KFC V for years, but going off my knowledge of Jackson guitars, BHs Jackson isn't a Y2KV at all, in-fact it's a complete one of kind body style just for Buckethead. What it looks like is a baritone (I assume), Jackson Double Rhoads, with the Y2KV/Gibson-esque body rounding. Both Coop and KFC are 26 frets too which is why the neck pickup looks so squashed toward the bridge pickup, with no room for anything but a single coil if you were to put a middle pickup in. So to explain, the Double Rhoads is a Jackson custom shop exclusive that you can't seem to even order on the normal Jackson CS order form. And it's exactly what you think it is, it's a mirrored RR, so the horns are longer than a normal King V, it's massive, and was the inspiration for the King V. Recently, Pat from Cannibal Corpse, and Mick from Slipknot both have them, and Jackson seem to put out super limited runs of them on rare occasions, and to show off at NAMM etc. It was originated by Dave Linsk of Overkill in the 80s who asked for "RR wings" on the CS form, then Robbin Crosby from Ratt wanted one, and soon after he got his and everyone started wanting one, Jackson came out with the production model King V which was a shortened down version of the DR suited for regular sized people, and apparently named after Robbin's nickname "King" (cause he was really tall) because he really popularised the Jackson V while playing his DR live with Ratt in their heyday. So the Double Rhoads was the precursor to the King V and was never in mass production, and as such are pretty rare and expensive. But the reason I think BHs is a DR/Y2KV hybrid is the way the body tapers up into the neck, and the V shape and depth. The Y2KV has that '50's Gibson V thing where it really flattens off horizontal where the neck joins the body so there's nothing in the way of the upper frets, whereas Buckets V just keeps on going up to about the 20/21 fret like the DR does (and later King V). The DR normally has beveled edges and is pointy, which is where the Y2KV body rounding comes into play and why most people call it a Y2KV. The V also doesn't cut as deep into the body as the Y2KV does, and the V spreads more like the DR. The distance from the bridge to bottom of body is also more akin to the DR than a Y2KV, plus I don't think i've ever seen a hardtail DR, whereas the Y2KV with a Floyd was like gold dust, and the Floyd was almost falling out the arse end of the guitar because there was almost no body left once it was routed in which is not at all how BHs guitar is. Buckethead's control layout is completely unlike any Y2KV or DR that i've ever seen though. And just incase you're curious, the pickups in the KFC V are DiMarzio X2Ns, ridiculously high output monsters, no clue what's loaded in Coop. What i'm trying to get at here, is that Buckethead's Jackson Vs seem to be far more of a custom job than one might think at first glance. To me the Jackson KFC-V is a custom shop, 26 fret, probably baritone, Double Rhoads, w/ Y2KV body rounding. Obviously the only way to really know what's going on is to see the order sheets for both Coop and KFC but I doubt that will ever happen. Here's a few photos/video of some DRs for reference: Mick Thomson DR: images.equipboard.com/uploads/source/image/44849/big_13557000_1616492055329088_915832226_n.jpg Pat O'Brien Camo DR: th-cam.com/video/u5MktovZ0j4/w-d-xo.html cdn1.bigcommerce.com/n-ou1isn/ejpbfe/products/3085/images/20583/IMG_3503__10600.1450810690.1280.1280.jpg?c=2 The OG Overkill and Ratt DRs: th-cam.com/video/v5wkG79KGxI/w-d-xo.html And here's a Y2KV: www.promusictools.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1352x901/bd5be3e4bffe87df985139cc5e5c836c/j/a/jackson-y2kv-natural-6727.jpg Hope you enjoy my Buckethead Jackson V conspiracy theory!
Hot-rodding this thing with decent hardware/electronics might be a fun idea for a video. Even installing a proper arcade switch should be fairly simple; just ream out the original hole with a step drill.
You’re playing is getting pretty badass! Good on ya, I saw those spider chords 👍 I’d still love to see an SG GT on the channel. If I could afford it I’d buy one and send it to ya but sadly I can not.
KFC needs to let Buckethead be one of the "Colonel's"! Let him play the jingle on his guitar. Put glasses and a mustache over the mask. Caption his words!!
@@scottbogfoot yeah thats what i was talking about Theres alot of cursed thing you make with the made to measure program Like lets say A les paul with a reversed explorer headstock and a florentine cut give that all access thing and a bfg pickup layout Oh can't for get the Floyd rose
Good question. They actually did make a Flying V with a non-reverse Explorer headstock in the 80's (the Flying V XPL). They also made various guitars with reverse and non-reverse explorer headstocks (the M-III, the Flyer Pro II, the Les Paul XPL, etc.). Unfortunately, Gibson's design department seems very risk-adverse in recent years.
Someone probably ordered it custom(from China) and then did some work on it. I have seen enough of these Chibsons to know even they wouldn't send it out with taped up splices. Solder is cheap and the workers know how to wire them properly. Really the only problem is the Jackson branding since it was never an official signature release. The bridge would work fine if set up properly. Whoever had it didn't know what they were doing obviously, hence the taped up splices and half assed attempt at blocking the trem. For about $4-500 they will build a guitar however you want them too based off a photo/instructions. If these were actually for sale I am sure they would be seen pretty often because there are always people willing to buy a cheap knockoff when they can't afford the real thing.
Would love to see this with better hardware/pickups, with the strap button relocated, and the tuners actually in a row. It's a cool looking guitar and it'd be even cooler as a rat-rod that actually played/sounded decent
Trogly for further notice, with floyd rose bridges you would want to only cut the ball end off and use the ‘twisty’ end to put in the bridge because it prevents string slips and it won’t damage it.
hey trogly your playing was better than you usually give yourself credit for in this demo. thanks for covering this guitar, I love bucket alot - never really knew much about this guitar
Gut the electronics, swap in some new PUs and a bridge, use a bit of red nail polish and change Jackson to Packson or something. I love the idea of a kill switch, but I would have to change my style entirely. Or maybe I'm not thinking creatively enough...
You wouldn’t have to change your style, it’s just another ‘tool in the shed’ , I threw in a kill switch on one of my builds and thought I don’t use it much, it’s great to have it and I really enjoy the hell out of it when I do use it.
How about a compromise in getting the stripes and binding in a different color from red? Also, what about a standard-scale version for everyone of shorter stature than Buckethead? You're improving, Austin. You're capable of even making a junker sound great. In fact, you could tempt me to get q real Jackson in the V shape.
hey trogly, just to clarify im not sure if you know this but kfc loves buckthead and dosnt mind the whole branding, the reason he wore the white bucket is because he ran out of the 90s style buckets he had and a fan hooked him up with a bunch around 2012 and thats when he started wearing the kfc style ones again.
I have a V made by Vintage guitars, and with some Gibson humbuckers installed , its amazing. Anyhow, the output socket is in that same position as on the Jackson, and having it there on the inside leg means you bump into it. On the front as on the original Gibson it is clear of everything.
Hey Trogly, nice video, man. Just want to point something out: the writing on the Floyd Rose style bridge on that guitar doesn't says it is a real Floyd Rose. It actually says it is licensed under Floyd Rose patents, which people use to call 'Licensed Floyd Rose'. Licensed Floyd Roses tend to be garbage, but if you look into older Ibanez Floyd Rose Style bridges, they'll have that too, since Ibanez only slightly modified the original Floyd Rose design. I'm a big fan of the channel, hope you enjoy the comment. Cheers from Brazil!
I like you're reviewing Jacksons now. I have an Adrian Smith signature, the X series model, and kinda wanna see you review the Pro Series version as a freaky Fender Friday.
I'm pretty sure that "Floyd Rose" is a from a company called Dragonfire. Ironically, I bought Jackson today that came with this bridge (mine is a real MIJ Dinky) and the previous owner replaced the original bridge to one of these. They aren't too bad for $60, but I ordered a Gotoh 1996t to throw in to replace it.
Bought one of these a couple months off feebay. Not bad for the price…$300 shipped. Depending on seller you can negotiate a little bit. Hate Floyd’s but love Buckethead so went for it. Plan on blocking the Floyd and upgrading Pups.
the thing about the stripes is to my knowledge KFC hasn't used that style of bucket in 20 years ot more. So honestly I think they could get away with it, might have minimal royalties to pay which would ultimately drive consumer price up. At the end of the day, if the get the specs right people will buy it.
I know aj good (@House of Masks) would be happy to get that guitar for his buckethead land, but NOPE! He’ll be really mad if he finds out that there’s no signature model for this guitar!
Buckethead is a mind blowing guitarist, a modern day Jimi Hendrix if you like. Had a feeling those Buckethead Les Pauls would have a very district sound to them
Those pups have the same markings as the ones the Fireflys use, although I've only seen the FC-50s on those. Wonder if there's a reason they don't use the 52s
Ola Englund just linked you, Trogly, about the Mustaine video. Edit: maybe a string change would help this guitar. I kinda liked it. Except for the Floyd Rose. Man, I hated these things.
the fret board is Indian rosewood,i suspect alot of these small factorys bought large supplies of it wen it was cheap. its a diff story now! fender charges a 200$ premium for this over pao ferro now! so its kinda funny wen you see a nice fret board on an otherwise trash guitar!
always loved grovers charvel v bodys....cant stand his paul..but you are changing my mind on it.....but what i really dig is the kfc thing.....the body with headstock and ya the colour
The issue with cheaper guitars with Floyds is the mechanical aspects because they can totally fuck up the instrument. Every other part can be replaced to improve it and make it playable but if you don't replace the Floyd, you're having a bad time 9/10 times.
Honestly as far as the copy rights with KFC I don't think that they would have a leg to stand on legally, It doesn't say KFC anywhere on the guitar and you can't copy right red stripes. Sure it's a very Gray area but any manufacturer could get away with it for a while the 1st thing they would have to do is send them a cease and desist letter meaning they simply couldn't make any more after that.
5:13 pretty sure KFC never has said anything to buckethead about it and he just switched to the white bucket because he decided to then he went back to the 90's funeral bucket awhile after he was done with the white one P.S. if I'm wrong and kfc has said something can someone let me know
1:25 uh.... I have been looking for one these for years.... what is the actual model name and where can find one?? Edit; so apparently it IS a ‘Y2KV’ and I can’t find one on the net other than Dave Mustaine’s personal USA for $20k LOL think I’ll have to back out on that one.. P.S. another question... are these exclusive to the USA shop?
I think I saw a comment already mention it but KFC has been on some weird shit lately to try to kinda fix their " boomer mantra " by making a weeb dating sim, a weird ass movie with Mario Lopez, and making a gaming " console " although it is just a computer lol. They should hit up Buckethead and see if they can work together.

Five Oh Four. Reminded me of another tall-ented musician.
any chance of reviewing a jackson or dean dave mustaine signature?
I would love to see one of those guitars reviewed on this channel
I like you're reviewing Jacksons now. I have an Adrian Smith signature, the X series model, and kinda wanna see you review the Pro Series version as a freaky Fender Friday.
Bought a studio off of you a while ago. Can confirm that it is one of the nicest playing/sounding guitars i have ever played.
Buckethead is one of the best alive imo. Guitar would be awesome with some upgrades.
Seeing you play some riffs was great
I wonder if Jackson would build one for just anyone if they ordered it from the custom shop
last time i came this early it was in my cousin
Holy Alabama
@a o daddy said to stay off her
christonabike Damn right I did. Gotta have some standards, boy.
Lemme catch MY SON fricking his cousin
Damn bro your cuz got that wet wet or what 😳
I'm pretty sure that "Floyd Rose" is a from a company called Dragonfire. Ironically, I bought Jackson today that came with this bridge (mine is a real MIJ Dinky) and the previous owner replaced the original bridge to one of these. They aren't too bad for $60, but I ordered a Gotoh 1996t to throw in to replace it.
I would totally buy this if Jackson made him a real signature but that will never happen :(
Bought one of these a couple months off feebay. Not bad for the price…$300 shipped. Depending on seller you can negotiate a little bit. Hate Floyd’s but love Buckethead so went for it. Plan on blocking the Floyd and upgrading Pups.
the thing about the stripes is to my knowledge KFC hasn't used that style of bucket in 20 years ot more. So honestly I think they could get away with it, might have minimal royalties to pay which would ultimately drive consumer price up. At the end of the day, if the get the specs right people will buy it.
Love that you made the attempt at Soothsayer! High five.
The neck and the action looks great on that v fake or not I bet it plays great
Buckethead what a beast, i dont like all his stuff but man there is some brilliance in that man.
Austin, you gotta upgrade/fix it and make it more worth playing! Fake as it is, that thing is awesome! Great video! Solid start to 2021 :)
Happy new year man! Hope you’re well
Finally someone did a good video on this guitar! Great stuff!
Tomorrow I'm adding a kill switch to my strat, thanks trogly
Just be sure to put a good one in!
@@Trog Yup, I got a cheap one from amazon and it only works when it wants to.
@@Trog Sanwa buttons!
Tesi has good kill switches. Great customer service too.
Your background music sometimes sounds like a phone ringing, drives me nuts! 🤣
6:35 Davie: *wise words*
Anyone else going to comment on that little shred he did at 14:48. I was not expecting that. Good job trogly!
It is sped up
Yes, sped up
Last time I was this first the les Paul had two pointy cutaways
Good morning, nice review. Can you please tell me what that opening little riff was? Thanks
There’s a warmth and gutsy quality to this one. Nice
just came to see trog play some bucket licks in the demo. not disappoint
The crunch sounded pretty dang good.
Awe, the sound brings back memories... Of the garbage equipment we used as kids in garage bands🤣
I’m not sure if it’s still for sale but buckethead was selling this iconic guitar back in April
I have been waiting for this video
I want a baritone Gibson les Paul, but I have no idea where to get one.
There was one one eBay a week ago. Probably find one on reverb too. Better be packing a wad of cash. Gibson baritones don’t come cheap.
Thanks for this vid! That guitar totally caught my eye on your 2020 vid!
Big fan of buckethead and I had no idea that that was not in production wish they would
tone demo sounded better than usual
Yessssss, Bucket!
" Night of the Slunk" Woo.. Not too shabby Mr Trogly. Should have played the real Buckethead LP also for a quick comparison.
I know aj good (@House of Masks) would be happy to get that guitar for his buckethead land, but NOPE! He’ll be really mad if he finds out that there’s no signature model for this guitar!
Saw him play both Vs with Praxis in Knitting Factory... Two shows. Fantastic.
I saw Buckethead play the nunchucku in Oakland NYE Y2K. It was pretty chickin chuckin cool.
Maybe your guitar plug is pulling away from the jack contact intermittently. I’ve see that happen more than once with cheap input jacks.
Buckethead is a mind blowing guitarist, a modern day Jimi Hendrix if you like.
Had a feeling those Buckethead Les Pauls would have a very district sound to them
Wooo! Trogly playing Bucket riffs!
Do a build video! New pickups, New electronics, real Floyd rose, locking tuners, relocate strap button etc.
Wang jangleing!!!!! THAT'S why I love Troglys guitar show! ........so awesome.
I really like the " But-Ton on that Guitar..It's Really " Met-al !!!
Those pups have the same markings as the ones the Fireflys use, although I've only seen the FC-50s on those. Wonder if there's a reason they don't use the 52s
It might not be real but you made it sound great.
The bridge position sound, though it's a cheap guitar with bad intonation, reminds me of Link Wray's Rumble
I don't care if this guitar is fake, i would love to get one and have some fun modding it! Man i love the look of this thing.
Ola Englund just linked you, Trogly, about the Mustaine video.
Edit: maybe a string change would help this guitar. I kinda liked it. Except for the Floyd Rose. Man, I hated these things.
the fret board is Indian rosewood,i suspect alot of these small factorys bought large supplies of it wen it was cheap. its a diff story now! fender charges a 200$ premium for this over pao ferro now! so its kinda funny wen you see a nice fret board on an otherwise trash guitar!
Great video mate. Very educational
I've never heard the flying v design referred too as "grounded in reality"
Let's make an oversized tele next similar to the BHLP with either the layout from his V or LP or a jim root control layout
always loved grovers charvel v bodys....cant stand his paul..but you are changing my mind on it.....but what i really dig is the kfc thing.....the body with headstock and ya the colour
The issue with cheaper guitars with Floyds is the mechanical aspects because they can totally fuck up the instrument. Every other part can be replaced to improve it and make it playable but if you don't replace the Floyd, you're having a bad time 9/10 times.
Pickups sounded much better that I had thought.
Woah brotha crazy to see ya over here, hope you're well brother!
@@GrauFPV hahah good to see ya bro, same! Yeah, I'm a geetar geek lol
@@BSIII yeah me too haha you should come check our new song brotha
Honestly as far as the copy rights with KFC I don't think that they would have a leg to stand on legally, It doesn't say KFC anywhere on the guitar and you can't copy right red stripes. Sure it's a very Gray area but any manufacturer could get away with it for a while the 1st thing they would have to do is send them a cease and desist letter meaning they simply couldn't make any more after that.
Can't you order a custom from Jackson? That would be sick
5:13 pretty sure KFC never has said anything to buckethead about it and he just switched to the white bucket because he decided to then he went back to the 90's funeral bucket awhile after he was done with the white one
P.S. if I'm wrong and kfc has said something can someone let me know
1:25 uh.... I have been looking for one these for years.... what is the actual model name and where can find one??
Edit; so apparently it IS a ‘Y2KV’ and I can’t find one on the net other than Dave Mustaine’s personal USA for $20k LOL think I’ll have to back out on that one..
P.S. another question... are these exclusive to the USA shop?
The pickups might be trash, but they sound heavy af. Might just be your amp, but that's one of the better drive tones I've heard.
Nice rendition of Soothsayer.
I think I saw a comment already mention it but KFC has been on some weird shit lately to try to kinda fix their " boomer mantra " by making a weeb dating sim, a weird ass movie with Mario Lopez, and making a gaming " console " although it is just a computer lol. They should hit up Buckethead and see if they can work together.
