What's up everyone? And welcome to Ola Testing Shit.
Today I'm trying out the new Jackson Jeff Loomis SL7 signature guitar.
So, one or two years back I made a review of the Kelly Jeff Loomis guitar.
That was a 6-string guitar, and I think... you know...
What he would be using for Arch Enemy, for instance.
Now, this.
This SL7 is what I want to see from Jeff Loomis, to be honest, like...
Back to the Nevermore style...
You know, he had his signature going with Schecter.
This is the replacement for that guitar right here.
It has a basswood body with a swamp ash top, or veneer
which is sandblasted...
It has a maple neck, ebony fretboard...
Luminlay side-dots, Jackson tuners...
The Floyd Rose 1500 bridge
and the Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Blackout's.
Active pickups, hello?
1 pickup switch, 1 volume.
That's all you need, baby.
Made in Korea, may I add.
I'm trying out the Jeff Loomis SL7 through a Maxon...
No, Ibanez.
No, it's the Ibanez TS-808.
These are the settings, if you can see, it's...
...with a slight bit of overdrive
Level is at max, Tone is at like 1 o'clock, OK?
That goes into my Tremoverb.
I haven't played this amplifier in a long time, but...
It's one of my favorite Rectifiers I've ever owned.
It's one of those early bastards, they just sound incredibly awesome.
And that goes into my Mesa Oversized 4x12
That's a Neumann TLM-102 microphone over there.
I also have a stereo microphone of course.
Uh... let's go, man, I'm f***ing ready to chug some Nevermore.
Ugh... shit, man.
This neck is insanely thin.
Can you see how thin it is? No? Well...
It's really thin, I'm just telling you.
Very flat, very D shape.
Made for shredding.
Oh my god, man, that sounds sick.
I love this amplifier.
OK...
I'm not completely sure what the variation on this Blackout is
compared to a regular Seymour Duncan Blackout, but...
I'm really liking how it sounds.
Oh, a little out of tune, well, let's fix that.
I wonder if we can drop...
I think maybe I need a thicker string to do drop...
Uh... drop A right now on the 7-string, OK?
Damn.
Oh... oh...
This is a lot of fun, guys.
Damn, man, OK.
Ooh.
Is this a 25.5"?
I think it might a 25.5" scale length.
It feels... it feels shorter for some reason, I don't know.
It's really easy to shred on.
Alright let's shut off the overdrive, I just wanna try.
Actually not that bad, but let's go back.
Wow, a little surprise ending right there.
Holy shit, guys.
This was a lot of fun, to play this guitar.
I'm not usually playing 7-strings that often, but...
I didn't necessarily feel that this was a 7-string
compared to, you know, 6-strings.
It plays really easy.
And also that deep sandblasting right there in that finish is...
It's just really... really awesome--
You know, there's just something about a classic-looking black guitar
with white binding right there.
It goes back...
You know, to my Ibanez MTM2 that I had, it's just...
It's just such a classic look for a metal guitar.
And it looks so classy.
'Classy' is the word I'm looking for.
There you go, that's the Jackson SL7 for your right there, Jeff Loomis.
He plays in Arch Enemy now.
Nevermore... sick as f***.
If you liked this video, maybe put a thumbs up.
That helps with the algorithm.
Even like putting a thumbs down helps with the algorithm too.
So, either way, thank you.
Thank you for watching, see you next time, goodbye.
