Sorry I do not know how to embed the video here.. please click on top of the link..thanks
This is just my sharing about the guitars I have and how I feel about them when I play them…I feel like kinda wanna show off here…actually not, just want to share the sounds of these three guitars…A great sound, touching TONE are generate from the guitar player's fingers, and not the guitar itself.
Sorry for the bad playing, tempo is out, everything is out out out… 3 guitars with 3 different setting, wood type and everything is different…ebony, maple and rosewood finger boards offer in these there guitars. Let me explain and go detail at below for each of them.
1) ESP KH2 Ouija(White), active pickups EMG 60 neck EMG 80 bridge, Ebony finger board, 24 frets, tremolo locking system, Neck Thru structure.
This is accordingly to Mr.Hammett(metallica's lead guitarist)'s spec, so with it up graded to ebony finger board(different than ordinary KH2 model), the ebony finger board really can give you speed when you pick on it. The sound is very powerful and high gain, you could hear the feedback while I juz plugged it on to my amp, this need thanks to EMG active pickups, they are very powerful and high output pickups, which means this axl is make up for METAL, or thrash metal!!! Purely for metal!!
2)Fender Start Japan 72-st, this guitar I basically change all the parts, the only things that I didn't change is the neck, body, machine head and pick guard only. I had changed the pickups to Kinman's, bridge, fret wires, volume/tone knobs, and input jack.
It is not high range expensive Fender, the wood also a so so wood not ash or other expensive good wood, but after changing all the parts it can offer wide range of style sounding and can produce great sound!!! thanks to Kinman's pickups, the bridge, and the extra jumbo fret wires. It has brighter tone because of its maple neck, normally maple neck can give you brighter tone. Like I said it offers me a wide range of style sounding, from Jazz to blues to hard rock to metal…All you need is to play with the setting in the amp to get the tone you want to get, this guitar really can offer you!
3) PRS McCarty, I do not know the exact model…What so special about this McCarty? It is the neck is made by Brazilian Rosewood, yes its whole neck is made by Brazilian Rosewood!! I love this baby so much because it can produce very thick, sweet, warm of wood “tone”!!! and again yes, it can be play in wide range of style sounding, blues, jazz, to metal… and the sustain is killer, thanks to PRS's set neck and rosewood neck, very good the sustainability!!! I heard that this type of rosewood neck guitar PRS is not produce anymore due to Brazil stop export the rosewood, so I feel kinda lucky to own this baby! and the gold hardware furnish is really nice!!! My friend told me if the rosewood neck got dry out some more or get into season will richer the tone!!! I love this baby's tone so very much!!!
Probably you guys won't hear the different because of the poor recording, I do hope that my words will get you guys a pictures of these three different guitar sound like…each of them got different feel, sound signature. I love them all, I still have some guitars in my collection, if I can find some free time I will come back here and share iwth you all again(show off)! Rock oN!

I heard the PRS over Kelvyn’s playing with Raggy, and my god, now I see why everybody’s nuts over PRS.
It’s not about going out of tempo or anything in the video, Beh..It’s about.. the camera. kekeke. So don’t owrry
When I heard Kelv on that youtube vid on the PRS with diff amp settings.. Oh my God, I swear that I had to change my pants.. and after I did, I had to change my pants again.
The tone for the PRS.. is realy insane. Now I’d pay that amount of money to get PRS guitars.. It costs like AUD$5000 till 8000 for a decent PRS.. Fender, Gibson all like around baout $2000 – 4000 depending on which one, but majority at 2.5k .. heh
I would love to play that PRS one day.. I played with a brazillian rosewood guitar and it sounded AND felt bloody good! (if you check Facebook, I tagged you in a picture recently – that Preformance Series for Taylor were the last batch of Brazillian Rosewood-necked guitars to be produced too, before Brazillian Rosewood turned CITES-listed)
Meh.
I want more guitars. I’m thinking of a Gibson SG61 reissue as well.. Hmmm.
