Ambitious metal guitarist/singer. Desperately trying to improve. Loves toques and maple syrup. Kahlers > Floyd Roses, change my mind.

This was my first guitar ever, and I still love it. I know most people won’t give this guitar the best reviews but I love it because it was my first and it’s still my only single coil guitar.
My grandfather bought this one of these at an auction and I borrowed it and forgot to give it back. Lol. It’s not very good in the condition it’s in; the tuners were loose, I had to glue the nut back into place and something occasionally rattles around in the neck pickup. However, it’s a good guitar when it works and it’s my guitar for Drop C.
Green Day was my favourite band when I started playing guitar, so naturally I wanted Billie Joe Armstrong’s guitar. I got one of these in blue for my high school graduation and I still love it.
I got this for my 18th birthday and I still love it. It’s tuned a full step down and sounds awesome. I call it the Chad Gibson SG because they look similar, but the Viper has more features.
It’s awesome, but what I hate about mine is it has a Floyd Rose bridge. I cannot tell you how much I hate Floyd Roses because of this guitar. I’ve watched countless videos on Floyd Roses, I’ve modified it to be less finicky and I still can’t change to strings to save my life.
I at first wasn’t fond of the King V and I was hesitant to buy it because I already had a Rhoads and a Dinky, but I am so glad I bought it because it became my number one pretty fast. Jackson really knows how to make good guitars for a decent price.
This is the guitar that made me fall in love with Jackson Guitars. I finally got one and it did not disappoint.
My guitar store is an official Ibanez dealer and I got to try this thing out. It was everything I wanted out of a guitar. Enough said.
I‘m really quite impressed with this guitar. It’s just got so much mojo to it.
Still getting used to it, but I always find the brown note with it.

This was the first amp I ever owned after borrowing one for a while. It can do anything, it's reliable and it’s still a good price.

It's not bad. Nothing special, but nothing terrible. It just works well.

Really fun to mess around with, but at least with my amp, I find it makes the tone really muddy, and it is a bit of a lemon. Just be mindful and you won’t go wrong.
I was expecting that I had to turn the distortion and level all the way up, but I actually had to turn the distortion back to get the tones I like.
Strings 7
Great for standard and down tuning. I used to play 10-46 but they started to get floppy for me. These strings are a bit of a learning curve because it feels like a big jump from the D string to the G string, but they stay in tune better and they don’t break.
They're got so much clarity, they refuse to break, I can get a good grip on them and I can play Standard, E Flat and Drop D with them, although the guitars I have them on fret buzz more than the guitars with normal strings.
I don't think people give the Titanium strings enough credit. They're stronger than most other Ernie Ball strings, but the higher strings are slicker, which I find make solos easier
Great for Drop C but they don’t destroy my fingers.
This review doesn't just apply to these strings, but all Ernie Ball cobalt strings in general. Everything sounds so much better with them, though they are prone to fret buzz, especially with low action.

It just glides across the strings like a knife through butter.
It does not wear, pinch harmonics are way easier, and it feels great. I wish there was a better grip, but it’s still good. I mainly use the 2.2mm standard shape.
Amazingly well balanced pick. It can just about do anything you need it too. It’s in my top three favourite picks.
It just glides along the strings like butter.

I just played with it for two hours and I loved it! Best 250 bucks ever spent.
Way too fussy. I can never get the damn thing to open on my own. Why this is considered the industry standard, I will never know.

Great for lead playing, though they're a little floppy for me now.
