Neil is a true craftsman. I've owned several neck thru BCRs in the 80s and 90s. I also owned one of his custom Teles. I currently own a Templar Series Genesis that I will never part with. It's basically a bolt on version of the guitar you have with a pointy 6 inline headstock and no fret markers. It also has a preamp and phase switches. It plays like a dream. I'm 65 and I can rock it! 😂

This is the NICEST guy I’ve ever watched, and he’s got sick riffs.

You need to get out more

I got my Moser 10 back in November and it very quickly and easily moved to my #1 spot. I ordered another a month later. Game changing instruments.

Honestly, this may be the cleanest I've heard you play. I don't mean that as an insult in any way, I just mean that guitar suits you way more than you think it does! Wish I had the cash for one of those, I'd buy it right now.

agree, now you are ready to create full album with this guitar ;)

Neal Moser 's work is absolutely fantastic. There is a reason the guy is a legend!!!!

I worked at a shop that sold Moser guitars, Neal's work is top notch. I've been impressed by every one of his guitars I've played. They were on par with my custom Bernie Rico Jr's (circa 2004), my custom shop Jackson's, and my Caparisons. Excellent craftsmanship, on par with the best.

110% thought that was BC Rich from the thumbnail. I’ve got a ‘94 and ‘01 Jackson USA SL1, a couple Kiesel Vaders, and 5 nice Ibanez models, and it’s really hard for me to fathom something that compares to the USA Jacksons. Not at all detracting from your comment or arguing against your opinion, just stating that if that is true, I really want/need one.

I still have my Moser-made BC Rich Bich. I restored it a few years ago and Mr. Moser was extremely helpful with parts!

Sick guitar!!! I'm so glad to see you finally giving Moser and BC Rich some love on your channel. I have a Moser and several Golden Era hadmade BC Riches and they are truly the finest guitars ever made. Neil is the best not only when it comes to building guitars, but also as a person, I have contacted him several times for parts and such and he is super knowledgeable, helpful and cool.

The amount of smiles on your face, I might recommend you sell some stuff to fund one of these! I am totally impressed! I love hand crafted guitars by smaller builders! Thanks for sharing with us!

Neal and Zach are stand up individuals I had an order prior to Zach buying into the company and seen the expansion that started taking place and I was little worried my previous order would be buried/forgotten. I reached out to Zach and he was upfront and quick to respond and I actually just got confirmation last week my build has started. I look forward to see what they do in the future

@@Charlie_Alpha_Echo I ordered it about two yrs ago when Neal was basically flying solo and had a back log from Covid so I’m not sure what the wait time is now that they have more hands on deck. I believe a few months from now I’ll have it in my hands

I'm older than you and have a BC Rich Shredzilla and an Ibanez Xiphos. Play the guitars you like and don't worry what you look like with them. The Xiphos is an absurd guitar but I love it, and it happens to be a shockingly comfortable shape to play. The guitar that makes us want to pick it up and play is the right guitar for us. This Moser looks cool AF.

Kyle, when I look at this BEAUTIFUL guitar, one name IMMEDIATELY comes to mind: Reb Beach!!!! That's a WORK OF ART.

Neil is awesome! He's worked with my buddy Shawn Shannon from SVS customs out of California in the past and he recently just did a killer finish for Shawn's new headless 10 string singlecut guitar that he's almost finished with and it looks amazing.

The moser V is the most insane/sickest thing i have ever seen, if i ever get to spend the money for a custom shop guiar i would probably get a Moser V, just insane...

These pickups sound phenomenal. They compliment the 5150 so nicely, they seem to have something in common with a hot les paul

Fantastic stuff Kyle! Awesome guitar and super riffing!!

Glad to see these guys getting some attention, I’ve been drooling over his work for years! Too bad I can’t afford one.

I bouight a Neal Moser 6 from those guys a few months ago. Frigging awesome guitars.

That guitar rollin with that Bodner sounded stupid amazing! Wow!

The tone of the demo speaks for itself. I think this reminds me of your " heritage" LP , guitar just sings. The quality is perfectly showcased here.

Moser is the shiiiiz absolutely a legend! My moser bastard v is my all time favorite

Damn, I never expected you an Zach working together. Awesome to see and a very sick guitar

Yes, more high-end guitars in your demos. Great content and that is a slick looking guitar as well.

That's awesome. Killer guitar. And yes keep making those videos. 🤘🔥🤘

Hell yeah! Love Neal's designs!

I’ve always wanted one of these. Love the updated (perfected) take on the Bich shape

@@lexvogelaar834if you look at the original design, the Bich, he basically mirrored the left lower wing for the right side of the guitar.

Kyle , very cool and informative video. I’ve not had the opportunity to demo Neil’s recent designs. I did have a BC Rich Bitch double neck in my possession for a couple of years when I owned a rehearsal studio where I lived also. To say that it was outstanding sonically is an understatement. It was resonant , clear and heavy ! I used it live’. several times but it did suffer from neck dive which limited my ability to do shows with it but what a sound ! 🤟🏼

Thrash Damon finally looks like a thrash player with that guitar in his lap

thickening up the sound is cool when you play by yourself but in the mix, if you're playing with a drummer and a bass player. That clarity is what you want, and most the bass will be highpassed. Always go for a bright guitar if you're going to play anything high gain IMO

i really fall in love with this model !! damn

Glad to things working out for ya bud god bless ,thanks how's the lake is it frozen up there yet ,still...

Great vid Kyle👍👍

Excellent content 😎

12:14, and we finally hear the the guitar, lol. So far this year, this video, and the video on the Sloane amp are my absolute favorite, because when Kyle gets talking and praising gear with this much passion, he's on to something.

With the influx of budget guitar reviews, it's nice to see a master-level guitar review every now and then. 😉

Damn that looks Fn amazing... and dude your playing was clean AF. for real dude that was some tasty riffage. Man i want one.

I spent a week off and on floating the bridge on the Kramer Pacer Classic I have so I could go up or down. Haven’t had a problem with it, yet and I did that over a year ago.

I've been dreaming of a Moser Bastard V since I encountered one in the wild while I worked at a Sam Ash store back in '08. Bill Moser has ALL of my admiration and respect.

hey, a request for you. it would be nice to see if you have ever played around with the Boss Katana air or not and if you would do a video on getting some killer sounds out of it. (or not.) just a thought. thanks.

Kyle you need to see if they can make you a singlecut! Sounded the best you ever have on KZread.

dope guitar. I've always liked it since seeing Wayne's World. Alice Cooper's guitarist uses a similar BC rich. Always wanted one.

the guitar plays itself comment was awesome. i wish i had used that back in my day.

Incredible! I'd order it with those pickups. If I remember correctly, Dave asked DiMarzio to make these medium to medium high output. That should explain the amount of clarity you're hearing. And ya, the 7 string version is awesome down tuned, but they hold up very well with clean tones. Dave also plays jazz, so he could literally walk in a jazz gig with his Jacksons and hook them up to your grandpa's old Fender Twin with no issues. No, really. (He does own some Gibson semihollow guitars too I think.)

Nice guitar, but that V in the background caught my eye, what guitar is that?

I'm dreaming of either a Genesis or Scythe bass, or Moser 10 to replace my Rickenbacker 360/12 which isn't the easiest to play with its 12 strings on its skinny neck. Unfortunately with the used market in the toilet, I'd still come up far short after selling everything I'm ambivalent about keeping, and am even struggling to sell gear I defintely want gone. Who knows, maybe the CNC series will be ready by the time these are in reach.

Super look needs a trem and a radder headstock.. absolute beauty

Ya know Kyle, sometimes something lands in your lap, and you kick yourself for letting it go. So perhaps you should consider keeping this guitar, and trying to make a deal with Moser.

That is a sick guitar!! I have a costume Ibanez and a Peavey Wolfgang one of the first ones. #365. I would love to have one these guitars.

I still love my B.C. Rich Platinum Virgo. The stock B.D.S.M. pickups were surprisingly decent, as they were the higher grade ones, not the shitty ones from the super cheap student instruments. The Seymour Duncan Invader SH-8B and Hot-Stack STK-2N pickups I put in it made it even better.

I saw a couple of guitars like that with similar lines at a pawn shop for 199 bucks with a Floyd and dont ask me why i didnt buy them both to add to my 50 plus collection... They were hand shaped unique natural wood ready to be oiled .

Looks like an amazing guitar!

I about lost consciousness when I saw the price tag. It's awesome looking though. I've been looking for a guitar similar to the X shape or an ML. The jack position should be moved to either the body top or top wing like a Randy Rhodes.

Actually suits you man 🤘

Sounds unbelievable!!! Will be hard to send that back ☹️

Whats that drop d riff? It sounds so familiar every time I hear it, I feel like I should know already.

Man.. that guitar sounds good

kyle you may be the guy who could find a wood marshal head enclosure that a dsl100 chassis will fit in? even if its a marshal enclosure that fits ill use it...

Hey Kyle have you heard the band Fugitive from Texas? I've been obsessed with them lately and Blake's tone is so good!

The Genesis has eclipsed the Warlock as my favorite shape. It's both evil and elegant.

most impressive, the Bogner sounded f king good.

There aren't a lot of expensive guitars that seem worth it. That one has a lot of awesome custom tone shifting features. Hope a lot of people buy those instead of LPs with gold hardware.

Also good to see a DIEZEL Hagen in the background!!!

Try this axe with a ada mp1 and a Peavey VTM

Killer guitars with a legacy to match-anyone who pines for the glory days of bc rich without the business dumpster fire of the last 30 odd years

Not my favorite shape, but very excited to see where this company goes. Would love some V's and X shapes

This guitar sounds really good. 🤘

You know it’s either the guitar or the new Engl cabs. Everything sounds cleaner and heavier. All the open string slaps are less bright as well!

Personally I love a volute aesthetically it just looks cool and I like the way it feels. It's not a deal breaker if a guitar doesn't have one though.

as someone who plays a Jackson with extremely low action. I recommend most people play like that. bar chords and fast playing can be much much easier. before things like Lorna Shore and Fit For an Autopsy were very difficult. Like a 7-9/10 vs after being closer to a 4-6/10. Also get the right string gauge.

DROPED C sounded killer!

Jusus you were right about this axe

Kyle! I recently picked up an older samick prs clone at a pawn shop for $100 It was completely bastardized with crappy tuners and broken strap button screws. It was loaded with Duncan pups and a Wilkinson trem ...but the setup...... I have never owned a guitar setup so low Beyond shredder Ibanez low. Holy craps.......it does this too So much clarity per note with chords and even better with dissonance

That reminds me so much of a BC Rich on steroids. I shouldn't love it, but I do.

That guitar is more indicative of the 80's thrash scene on the west coast. Examples Megadeth & Slayer...

Yea this is my fav episode. Look at that thing most metal guitar in the world.

If they’re cheaper than BC riches yet definitely, I would totally buy that. What to me looks like a knock off BC rich but it looks like a cool guitar I would definitely get one painted I never a fan of the brown wood looking stuff maybe some wild colors or maybe some flat with like a flat red or a flat orange but it looks. It sounds good.

Sick fury of five cap bro

Not sure why you say you can't pull off playing or using that guitar or style. It actually looks great.

Dope headstock

There were a ton of words spoken in this video lol for two dudes with ADD I’m surprised that I was able to watch the entire thing. Great tones as usual. Pickups aren’t my preference I don’t think. But man… it’s just clear that this thing is quality.

the body shape kinda reminds me of the Aria Urchin

Warmed up to that Helios sound I see.

great video, though a note here: Why a guitar being handmade is pitched as something unique or superior? A cnc guitar is guaranteed to be cut perfectly and all the measurements will be done to the micro meter. Then you can do all the fine details by hand. That s the perfect made guitar. A 100% handmade guitar is guaranteed to have imperfections

Sounds like you should keep the guitar and send Zach a check

Kyle! You hit me up for a Kemper...never messaged back, but I had a Moser V for sale at the same time. Would have lent it to you for a video, but you left me at the altar.

That guitar is gorgeous.

Gabon is the Ebony we all think of. Still expensive stuff.

Shaped like my 1984 Aria Pro II Urchin, which was a BC Rich rip off.

Resale value of this instrument will not exceed $1500, with a multi-year wait period. At less than half the price, you can get a much better built Parker with a much higher resale and collector value. As for the sound, there is an infinite number of budget instruments that sound like that at 1/10th the price and less.
