I bought this recently and for the neck dive, all you need to do is get anti slip strap. I only replaced the tuning keys to black color and the vol/tone caps to black as well. now this guitar looks killer and the pups are awesome for metal.
Good review. I'm between getting this one or the Harley Benton RX-10 BK. Can't decide... But right now I am leaning towards the Extreme-76 BK, after seeing your video hahaha
about the strap button, do i drill a hole? or what do i do? i see you said use a screwdriver, but what do i do with the screwdriver? do i use that to make a hole? or just start screwing the screw in from the start to make a hole?
Got one of these coming soon and can’t wait. Also im relatively new to guitars, only been playing for about a year so this may be a dumb question but how do you change the strap button location? Would there be a noticeable hole in the body?
Okay so quick question, since there are 2 volume pots for each pickup, and a middle position where it's a single coil from both pickups, can you lower the sound of one of the pickups in that position and get only one single coil?
I just got mine and I'm having a bit of an action problem. Its too high and Ive lowered the bridge and tailpiece to lower it but any time I can get a comfortable action I get really bad fret buzz. Did you have any problem with the action
0:25 Protip: Don't squirt the fret oil all over the fretboard like that 'cos it might go inside the fret seams and loosen the frets 😱 It's better to apply it to a cloth and wipe it with that 👌 Also, why did wanna change the bridge and the tuners? Other than the loose bolt, u didn't say there was anything wrong with the bridge? And u said the tuners are great 4:56 🤔 I do know a lot of guitarists will automatically change the tuners (and pickups) everytime they buy a guitar, lol... 😓
@@ManMark7 no actually I wanted to order it today but I decided to drop by the Thomann store in 2 weeks when I have a day off and try it out first (and buy it after trying). I'll also try the V shapes ones while I'm there. So no more guarantee that I'm going for the explorer HAHAHA but it's definitely going to be a Harley Benton. I'm super hyped. My colleague at work told me about Harley Benton just s few days ago, I had no idea. I'm still a beginner and I think this is a good deal.
@@ManMark7 duuuuuuuude I was at Thomann's HQ today and tried out some Harley Bentons and I just fell in love with the Victory Plus BK . (Ok to be fair, the RX-10 is sold out hahaha). The Extreme-76 was also great! Man this is the best day of my life. The moment I first touched the board of the victory plus with my left hand... That memory is now burnt into my brain! I had a 2 hour drive (one way) and on my way home I could not think of anything else other than how it felt playing it in the shop. Maaaaaaan. HB is probably the best deal for beginners. This is my first proper guitar

Can i see how it looks?

I love this guitar, and I LOVE this price. Thank you for helping me make up my mind, I'll be looking forward to its arrival 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Huge thank you man! Appriciate it! Glad it was helpful for you!
@@ManMark7 it sure was!!
Two months later what do you think of it?
@@dylanwyatt2922 I love it!
3:34 that almost sounds like the original song jajajja. Really nice demo :).
Thank you very much
What settings do you put on the amplifier to make that master of puppets sound like at the beginning of the video?
i just used a priset on my line 6 v30 mk2
Good review. I'm between getting this one or the Harley Benton RX-10 BK. Can't decide... But right now I am leaning towards the Extreme-76 BK, after seeing your video hahaha
Thank you very much. I advise you explorer.
Nice picking! Did a great job, just need to work a bit on the Metallica tone.
Thank you very much!
Just a bit less bass and that’s pretty much it
great review bro! going to buy frfr after seeing ur review
Huge thank you brother!
about the strap button, do i drill a hole? or what do i do? i see you said use a screwdriver, but what do i do with the screwdriver? do i use that to make a hole? or just start screwing the screw in from the start to make a hole?
Yeah, you just screw a screw straight away, without drilling a hole.
The new EX models are great with graphite nuts and locking tuners....and without ugly pick guard 😅
For sure. But they cost much more.
great review. one question, WHAT KIND OF SONG YOU PLAYING THAT REQUIRES YOU YO GO TO THE 22ND FRET?? (this is meant to be a joke)
Thanks man! Almost every metallica solo has 22nd fret)
@@ManMark7 ahhh ok. i was thinking "hmm maybe slipknot??" turns out i was just living under a rock lmao. thanks for that info!
Got one of these coming soon and can’t wait. Also im relatively new to guitars, only been playing for about a year so this may be a dumb question but how do you change the strap button location? Would there be a noticeable hole in the body?
Use a screwdriver) Yeah there will be a noticeable hole but you could out a screw in it.
Take the wood part of a match cut it to the depth of the hole and then put black paint over the match
My Harleys coming in tomorrow, can't wait to buy the Hetfield signature emg 85s and put em on there,
You'll put emg on same model?
@Marco guidone chargeur?
The bridge and tailpiece studs actually don't need to be glued in, they're a compression fit.
Actually yes! But that stud was loose.
@@ManMark7 imo the best course of action is filling it with a hard maple dowel or similar wood to the body wood and drill a new hole
@@waylong25 thanks for the advise man. But what's done is done )
Hi man, why the scotch behind the nut and the bridge?
to reduce string noise
how to move the guitar strap mount?
Use a screwdriver
@@ManMark7 Thanks I'll see what I can do when it arrives
what amp and pedal (if you used overdrive) settings did you use for the beggining.
Spider V 30 MkII! Custom tone preset
@@ManMark7bro, I have spider 3 what setting you use for master ?
@@syd0jiinst136 Give me your email. I'll send

Wow! That is a really good question right here! Lemme check! One moment bro!
So! I just checked. and unfortunately it doesn't work this way(((
@@ManMark7 Oh okay, thanks!
@@FrozenSolid742 You are welcome
Oh man I can’t decide. I have a $250 USD budget and there are @ least 3 HB that I want. I can’t decide which one to choose to be my first
Tell my what are the options! I'll help you with choice!
@@ManMark7 the Extreme 76 Bk Classic, Victory BK Classic, or the WL 20Bk Rock series. Thanks man
Su precio realmnt el publicado??
What?
He said is your price really the one published
@@augustincocq3969 the price was as I ordered
Its the guy who asked not me but i think i might get it this year
What amp are you using for distortion?
Line 6 spider v 30 mk2
I just got mine and I'm having a bit of an action problem. Its too high and Ive lowered the bridge and tailpiece to lower it but any time I can get a comfortable action I get really bad fret buzz. Did you have any problem with the action
I didn't have any. Have you adjusted the neck?
How tall are you? The guitar looks very small and I'm 6'4 myself. I really don't wanna look like I'm holding a toy while being on stage.
I'm 6"3 buddy. I don't recomend you this guitar as a stage instrument defenetly.
nice review dude
Thank you very much man! I really appreciate that!
do you prefer the victory bk flying V or this one?
Never played V so can't tell.
your picking is tight, dude 🤘
Thank you very much man.

It's cheep guitar, why should i keep it stock? I do upgrades it is fun.
@@ManMark7 yesssss
Great review...I have the exact same one...Are you using a string dampener ?
Thank you very much, I use.
thanks, i might actually buy one
You're welcome!
Just a tip
Not every shape guitar is for shreding..
THis guitar is for riffing and rythm playing
Literally rhythm guitar lol!
oh hell nah you can definetly shred on an explorer
Oh, hi Mark!
Hello there!
I didn't hit her. I didn't! 🤣
That's kinda sad to have only 22 frets in a metal style guitar ):
Say that to Dimebag and Hetfield! And a lot more metal beasts out there! Totaly disagree with you man!
The best trash metal have 23 frets almost 24
It looks a lot smaller than a normal explorer
It is much smaller actually!
Dude you need a reflink or something cause you basically sold this guitar to me
Thank you very much bro! I really appreciate that my review helped you. Have you received the guitar already?
