Incidentally, Edwards/ESP do a Japan-only replica of the Schenker Gibson V that looks and sounds absolutely great - actually as good as any of the above. The Deans are definitely nice guitars though - the Custom Shop ones anyway. MS has got his Deans sounding pretty good these days, but if you compare old and new recordings they still seem to lack that Gibbo sweet spot. The Deans sounded - well a bit overpowered and nasally to me. They just feel like much more modern guitars than the Gibson and are very comfortable to play (for Vs anyway).įor me however, I'd have to say that the Gibson (fitted with Duncan p/ups) gives a more pleasing tone, and sounds especially sweet in the upper registers. The feel and playabiility of the Deans is much superior too, with their ebony boards and wider, flatter fretboards. The Deans are way heavier and feel more solid than the Gibson, and the body-to-fingerboard height is much lower than on the 70s era Vs he used. Holmes also participates in the previous tour as second guitarist.I've been fortunate enough to get my hands on Michael's old No.1 Gibson V (though it had been frankensteined so much I guess you could barely call it a Gibson any more) and I also owned one of the signature Schenker Dean Vs, and one of the prototype Dean 'Flames' Vs that was set up specifically for Schenker himself.

His comrades Sheehan and Carmassi do not want to continue the adventure. Michael Schenker (born 10 January 1955) is a German rock guitarist who has played in UFO and led the Michael Schenker Group.He was an early member of Scorpions, the band co-founded by his elder brother Rudolf Schenker. In addition to the striking paint job it has the Stratocaster knobs, pickups surrounds, uncovered pickups, etc that he used to customise his V.
