Philadelphia-raised metal guitarist Xander Raymond Charles has built himself quite a following on YouTube—his subscribers now number over 120,000. But when he’s not YouTubing, he’s playing live, and earlier this year, he went out on a national tour with metalcore artist elijah. Charles formed half of elijah’s brutal dual guitar section, along with Brandon Kyle. Ahead of a recent Nashville gig, the two shredders sat down with PG’s Chris Kies to share what they packed for the road trip.

Damn stay metal ray made it!
Zander the man is a tour machine
Ol zander love to tour .On and off tour .
Jim Root wants his sig models to be your own and wants your personality to shown while using his guitars but i bet he didn't expect Ray to murder his sig strat ????????
not familiar with the Root? bro you did the slipknot rig rundown haha
I got that same dolly t-shirt????
To see XRC (or Stay Metal Ray) as I found him getting a rig rundown is truly amazing. Come a long way since I started watching him in high school, and he still inspires me to this day! Love it. Well done as always PG!!
What band are they in ?
13:25 ????????
Do a rig rundown of KDH’s band Walker.
Stay Metal Ray has finally made it! Good to see, guy has been grinding for a while and deserves it.
Brandon fror shure didn't get to say much 😀
I used to play metal but found a slot in a killer blues band that lets me shred for 90% of my show and I love it.
When it comes to gear I use a ltd te-200 as a backup guitar and its one of the best tele's I've ever played. Not just a metal machine, the c shaped neck and extra jumbo frets play fast as hell and the stock pickups (not the emg's) are hot but not too hot and includes a coil split so it makes a perfect rock/metal guitar that also works great for blues.
Rock on.
He means a ESP LTD TE-401 and yes they are solid guitars
Thanks! Please, Please, PLEASE, do a Rig Run Down of The Warning The Hottest & Best young Rock to come along in Many Years Daniela 25 Lead Guitarist/Lead Vocalists…
Paulina 22 Drummer, Drumeo Rock Drummer Of The year…. Alejandra Bass Guitar player. 19 Year's old. If you have never heard Them Look out These 3 Villarreal Sisters From Mexico Are Killing it to say the least. Thank you, Russ.
Isn't that ltd a 401? He said a te-100 but i don't see that model.
So dope to see Ray on this! Been following his channel since 2018
Xander, no shit… I had no idea you were a touring member for FTFD?? Those dudes are from my home town and Jim (only og members left) is one of the homies, small world dude! Good luck on the future gigs
No way ray!!! Glad to see him on here
Who is ARMY there?
Nice dude! Happy to see you guys are on Premier Gear!

Love to see this rig rundown with Xander
XRC on rig rundown brings tears to my eyes

XRC IN DA HOUSE. Much love brother
stay metal ray
Yeah!! Finally XRC on this channel, so stoked!!! ❤????
I own 2 electric guitars. Both LTD guitars. I actually owned a PRS custom 24 and ended up selling it after owning it for 20 years because I liked the LTDs way better. Funny because I payed $3000 for the PRS. I payed $120 for my LTD V at Pawn America. And $250 for my LTD EC-401QM. ????
this is very cool
lol why did they start with that riff? ????
Go XRC!
So cool to see Ray on the Chanel. Been following him since the start of his YouTube channel????????????
