Hollowbody's are actually great for metal imo. The low end response is great due the natural resonance. I would love to see a company put out a high end hollowbody for metal.

That combo of low output humbuckers with EL34s in a high gain amp is to die for. That *Angel of Death* bit at the end was so close to Kerry's tone probably because of the old style pickups through high gain Model 2210 Marshalls that Kerry had.

@SuffyANX

2 жыл бұрын

Yep, low output passive pickups through a high gain amp is by far my favorite pairing. Tons of dynamic range from the pickups, which makes chugs sound even chunkier when you really dig in, and chords usually sound clearer too

Yeah I totally agree. I acctually love running my crappy Epiphone SG through my hughes and kettner grandmiester. It gets that old metal tone and you can smash out chords if you want. My Schecter sounds heavier ofc but I cant lie I love that old tone

​@@blacktoothfox677 i own one of these too and i can confirm that is bloody hot, pickup are called Inifinity R, is ceramic and the bridge has 13k output.

I bought this guitar 7-8 years ago as my first own guitar. It served me well for many years and I recorded Metal, Rockabilly and similar stuff with it many times. I did sell it eventually though, but only because I ran out of space lol.

I’ve got an Epiphone Dot that sounds great at high gain. The hollowish body gives a really fat low end and dark tone that works well with gain especially bright pedals that can sound harsh with other guitars.

I loooove my Epi Dot Studio! I don't even have an urge to change the pups. I bought it used for like $250 or something, and I'm pretty sure the value has gone up since I got it in 2014. It's my least expensive guitar, but I love it as much as my most expensive. She's a keeper.

I actually hated the stock pickups in this guitar but my grandfather bought me one as a gift going to college so I swapped the tuners, nut, bridge, and pickups for gotohs, a graphtech, a gibson tunamatic, and high output seymour duncans and the thing rips. It's by far my favorite and most sentimental guitar I own, even for metal. Also loved the Blue Sky Edit

I used to jam on one of these pretty regularly back in the mid-2000's at my local GC. They sound and play great. I am a die hard Jackson fan, but there are several Ibanez's that I really like. I do wish that I had picked one of these up back in the day. Now I have the money, but I don't have the space.

Back in my youth, I was getting into George Thorogood and slide guitar. My parents bought me massive the next step up of the Ibanez Artcore series and to this day I'm still amazed by how well it played and sounded especially considering the price.

This guitar doubles for metal and jazz n blues, it looks the part for both and it sounds the part for both. And considerably good looking. Man!

I have a guitar from this line and love it. The neck is so easy, and the sound is so rich because of the hollow wings, but controllable because of the solid middle block. It’s a little dark, but you can get over that because of the richness in the tone.

i think the best part about these videos is Ola's completely zoned-out, thoughtless, stonefaced gaze when he figures out how to make it chug.

That was fun and enjoyable, as always :) Good job. The black matt finish seemed so simple yet intriguing when I saw in the shop. Happy you brought this episode to us :)

I’ll never get tired of that 99 intro riff, I love it so much 🖤

Dude. I was just playing mine, and this popped up

Never ever expected a RHCP cover on will it chug.

This was really helpful, I didn't want to spend that much and wanted another guitar. Thanks!

Never thought I'd see Ola playing 99, on a hollow body Ibanez, in the wrong tuning😂

Another highly entertaining video! Keep up the great work!

I love the Ibanez Art Core series. I think they're really versatile.

The Ibanez Artcore semi-hollowbody range is very versatile, and can do any genre, from mellow jazz, to stinky blues, to chug, to clean chilled tones. I have a 2008 AS73T in Transparent Cherry, with tremolo. This matt black looks TERRIFIC for the heavy metal, and all things CHUG. Thanks for a great video.

This was brilliant "OH he's plugging into a evh...." Lol

Ola Englund... Friend-to and helping-out the newbies or those who cant afford $1000 axes! The MAN!

I bought this guitar a month ago aprox. I does not only sound good, it´s neck is very comfortable too. And it´s beautiful.

I play metal with an Ibanez Artcore I got 8 years ago when I was a teenager, sounds awesome

Thanks, Ola!

I have an Ibanez AGS83B semi-hollow that that I bought over 10 years ago, and it has hundreds of hours of chugs on it. It makes me smile.

It's the second time I heard you playing a song from "one hot minute"!! Great album, I'm guessing you're a fan too!

Very entertaining and good musician. Thank you for the test video.

I have an Artcore from 2010 and It's surprisingly good for metal

It chugs, and actually sounds pretty damn good. The weird woods are a sapele body, nyatoh neck, and laurel fretboard.

I've been playing my es335 for every style of music that exists. Keep beefy strings on it and even go down to d standard. A lot of heavy bands use pretty standard guitars, it's the amp that really makes the difference

Hey Ola. Just wanted to drop a comment and say how have i never come across you before? Found you last night and must of spent all night watching your videos! Absolutely love your content

I have had one for years. Great beater guitar.

i had one of the THICCer versions of this years ago. made of african bu....bab....babinga, balboa, bazinga, whatever wood. i was really impressed with the fit/finish/setup. even sounded decent acoustic

🎸🔥🤘 love your channel!

Yeaaah will it chug is back! Love from indonesia ola

the chug tutorial at 0:20 is one of the most underrated tutorials in youtube. You should really do a complete series!

99 always be the best post thrash riff in the 00's, change my mind.

Lol I love Ola!!!Just good wholesome family entertainment!👍

Awsome riffs man 🙌🏻

It will chug, in fact it chugs harder than the Jackson minion I figured out.

Awesome

I bought on of these and change the pickups for G.M. alnico II 57 classics for $39 delivered to my door. The improvement was remarkable. For less than $400 I have fantastic tone and a great playing guitar.

The best will it chug yet!

No waaaay it's the same I have!! Can't believe it For me it was 270€ the blue one. Fell in love with it on the guitar store... I play it with an Orange Crush pro 120 and an overdrive.

My main guitar for years was an Artcore and it would shred just as good, if not better, than my Iceman at the time... 💀🤘🏻 It was a godsend for dorm life since you can play without an amp.

I got an art core as my main guitar. For heavy and slow sludge metal which is what me and my band play, they are perfect.

Im INDONESIAN!! GLAD TO HEAR it was made in Indonesia!!

Awesome demo, ola. 😎🤘🏻🎸If you ask me.l, it definitely chug. Considering that it’s an Ibanez, it’s bound to chug. Plus Hollow body guitars has a surprisingly heavy sound with high-gained amps. My brother had a hollow body guitar and he tested with distortion and it sounded killer. We were surprised on how mean and heavy it sounded. Also that evh amp sounds awesome. I do like that amp and any peavey Amp like the 5150 and the 6505.

Sounds good.

Dude u looked killer on stage in the haunted video cool stuff. You guys sounded great your band is sick you guys defiantly have that feel like everyone is just there to slay, very serious musicians. I have to admit when I saw you swapped your travel rig to the amp head I was like okay now were getting serious, he broke out the tube head. your other guitar players dover sounded really sick you guys were tight.

Ibanez always chugs Buddy

I had one of these a while back and threw a seymour duncan distortion in it and tuned it to drop A#. it chugged magnificently

Holy carp Ola I haven’t heard that chili peppers song in forever!!!!

3:16 Bleach-era Nirvana + 80s Metallica! Awesome thrash-grunge moment!

I got that same guitar for D-standard. Probably the most metal looking semi-hollow you can find.

My Artcore definitely chugs thru my Mesa MK 5/25.

Hell yeah if ola can make it chugg!!!!

I know this is an older post. I loved the sound when I tried the AS53 at my local guitar shop right down the street. I enjoyed the sound but I had a hard time getting comfortable with the neck. It felt cheap to me. But I’m also used to playing a strat. I have an Epiphone Les Paul too and it took a little getting used to but felt more solid compared to the Ibanez. I’m gonna do more research cuz I’m pretty new. That hollow body sound is good stuff.

I've been waiting on my 5150 iii 50w head for almost 6 months now... the wait is killing me!!

Hahah, just hammers out these sweet riffs. Man did I laugh. So awesome

The single most pointless video series that I consistently watch and love.

ah yes, my favorite ola series

God, I think 99 is the ultimate song to crush enemy's skulls and drink blood, love it on the 5150

Ola playing RHCP...! Grrreat!

I own one of these guitars and love it.

Try any cheap guitar/cheap combo amp together and make it chug

Sick tone that guitar

I had an AS63 in twilight orange and it was the best guitar I’ve ever played

Once i had one of that, and its a nice guitar actually

This is the video I needed in 2005

Would be sweet if Ibanez used that headstock on some other models they have too. I dig it alot man. I'm thinking about getting this for a Doom machine. Really curious how a fuzz pedal would react to the semi hollow body.

Love it 😂😂😂❤️🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Those semi hollows are great when mixed into a Song

I got that ibanez...the best guitar for me i think my guitar got a soul...when i play it we became one thing❤

99 is my fave song atm..lol

I have the as73b and it do chug pretty well

It looks like you were really enjoying playing it! It chugged before 30 seconds passed.

This guitar is my most recent purchase from Sweetwater that is also my first semi hollow I've played and I fuckin love it!!! It sounds so good clean or dirty. Im also a lefty that plays right handed guitars so for this guitar having a double cutaway, Its super easy for me to get up on this high frets!! So great to see the great Ola review this guitar, Keep it up!!

Oh man ... I was waiting for the Nirvana part...I saw it on your Instagram! I laughed here!😂 Nice guitar btw! 😂
