Let's face it dude you personally could shred on a walmart first act guitar! Absolutely do a full review video on this guitar or any you choose, you play awesome!!
@@allanwhittick2930 I actually dont yet, BUT I'm working on an EP that I hope to put on spotify and other online places It's still in works but when it gets closer to being ready I'll make a mention
I have a Extreme 84, after oiling the dry fret board and putting Grover tuners and EMG 81/85 pickups in it, it's my favorite guitar to play. It looks like an evolutionary link between the Explorer and the Firebird, which I love. I plan on getting the EX 84 tribute series, which is more a traditional Explorer look but I don't think it compares to the Extremes originality.
Dude, I rock a $50 Samick Torino TR1 I got off of LetGo! I also have an 'Ariana' strat I got from Craigslist for $30 and upgraded with a $20 Ebay loaded pickguard. I have a Harley Benton SC-450plus Les Paul copy ($186 SHIPPED!) which plays just as well as, if not better than, ANY Gibson Les Paul I've played over the decades! Budget guitars aren't garbage (contrary to popular opinion of 'certain' people...). Max shows that a lot of inexpensive guitars can sound stunning! He's a good dude!
Max sent me, love the shred man!! That's why I subscribed. Maybe some vids on upgrading the weak spots on inexpensive guitars. Or maybe some practice tips on learning to shred. Best of luck brother!!
@@DeakonLekross just caught the vibrato vid. Great info, and very easy to understand. Your going to do well man. "Good players practice until they get it right. Great player practice until they can't get it wrong". KILLER!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Deakon I have been subbed to Max's channel for quite some time and caught a collaborative review you guys did on the Fusion line of the HB guitars. So I figured I would come over and give your channel a look. I am really glad I did you have quite an array of very cool videos. I do not have much experience with the HB line itself, but my brother is an aspiring luthier and had put together an HB T-Style kit that I played around with, I have to say it played really well. I don't think that the components in the kit are nearly as nice as an assembled unit probably uses; however, he set it up well and put some custom electronics in it that really made it sing. I like the quality of the neck and the fretwork he said that he only gave the frets a good polish because they were dry feeling not because they were poorly installed or unevenly filed. It would be cool if you did do reviews of different axes, amps, and effects pedals and things of that nature because you have an amazing sound, sir.
People underestimate how much new gear can keep new players like me motivated not only to feel comfortable on playing and not dealing with really cheaper guitar problems .. playing with a new better guitar and amp it helps to keep you motivated and improve a lot !! I played a no brand Stratocaster for a year now and as I Improved I feel like i needed a new guitar to feel more comfortable and to trying to find a better tone . I’m planning getting my second guitar now I like metal and grunge a lot I’m planing to get a Harley Benton ex84 the white with active pickups they definitely sounds awesome
It's true I've always been excited when I get a new instrument And that excitement definitely translates into motivation! When I was teaching guitar and music I can't tell you how many students had massive leaps and bounds cause they got a new guitar! And dude some of the newer HB models look so great!
I’m supposed to buy a 74 at the end of this month if January I will come back and let you know tho I do have some hesitation about getting stuck with a squier type of guitar. Also you have a new subscriber! Max sent me also lol
Deakon Lekross hell trip on this I had quit jamming for like 20 years till my woman died about four and a half years ago picked it back up and haven’t stopped since jamming and I try to make a video at least once a week but now days it’s more to just have fun as I can’t seem to find anyone to play with around as they are all meth heads and I refuse to play with anyone like that , waste of time there
Deakon Lekross man that dude I was supposed to get that HB from jacked up the price on it so I didn’t get it but instead I’m working on getting a epiphany les Paul classic instead it’s not as good as my Gretsch 5435 limited edition but it seems to be worthy but I think I may score so 57 Classic pups for it for a giggle
Great video I'm interested in seeing more, great job. I would like to see some fast runs. Simple at first and then harder to ch as in a solo sequence. Thanks
Max sent me. Had to sub. Very cool.. Yeah. Do a review. I thought about one of their LPs. My biggest thing is fret work, nut and bridge. What you say is true. It's the playing that matters and practicing that matters. I need to sweep better. I've been playing for 40 years, and can do some sweeping, but not like 6 string sweeps or rakes as we used to call them. I'm old. 😉 Thanks for the vid and sharing. Great playing.
Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoyed it! I feel like the neck is the most important part of qualifying a guitar as an instrument you want to play so I understand about the frets for sure I am very particular on the bridges I use haha (and I hate that about myself sometimes lol) Sweeps as re a lot of fun and very showy BUT I really like "rakes" they are such a cool tool for a nice sound in your playing!
@@DeakonLekross You are welcome. Yeah, I love rakes too. I'm not the best shredder, but I can play fast at times. I'm more of a classic rock / blues rock guy , although I like all kinds of music. It would just be cool to do sweeping in solos. 👍
Thank you for supporting me and my journey to try and grow my channel! As far as I know that is the only color that specific model comes in I'd have to look into it
to be honest haha .. I've never actually played a Gibson explorer. I would think they aren't much different BUT i cannot say for certain so sorry I couldn't be more help
May I ask what state yourself and Max are located in? Looks like CA in Max's vids, or music vid I saw. Again, thanks and I will share. I have already sub'd and hit that bell..👍🎸💝🎸👍
The takeaway from this video for me, is just how many guitarists can play like a bloody god, but are totally unknown, and there are players with limits to their abilities, lets say, who are worth millions!!
Yeah! It's true, I have been noticing a boost in product quality with guitars under say $400 or $500. It's pretty amazing how some of my most favorite guitars are barely worth $400!
@@DeakonLekross checkout the EastCoast GV320 $199 looks and sounds incredible for the price range I can't believe it I might just order one to check it out.
I do have this guitar and i bought it because these good reviews about it but... i dont know is it about the pickup height or the nut or what but my sound is kinda muddy and some of the frets just kinda buzz when i play them and that really hurts my tone. It sounds pretty shit and thats really bothering me because i play in a band. Btw yes i am a beginner. So what im here for is to ask you should i lower my pickup height or raise it or whatever i just wanna sound like a pro.
A place to start its - fret the last fret and adjust bridge pickups to 2mm and neck pu to 2.5mm and see how that sounds Strings can have a play in it and the amplifier can as well. If you have fret buzz's then that could be an issue like a high or low fret. Hope that helps a little :) 👍
@@DeakonLekross miss you man and miss your zin. You sound awesome. No matter the amp or guitar. You could make a first act guitar and first act amp sound good.
If you really want to beef up your channel, maybe try to offer something a little different, for instance, it might be interesting to focus on demo-ing this with a couple of more common overdrive or distortion pedals. For instance: "Here's how this sounds through a Tube Screamer, vs a ProCo Rat, vs a DS-1," Submitted for consideration, just one opinion..
good guitar mod the shit out of it starting with relic the finish with hammering and saw of some wood on body then take a file here and there,sand also all electrics hardware and pickups until you see real metal and of with the hb logo and put a gibson sticker on.sand of laquer on neck to only wood be seen for a fast neck.good luck ohh replace the pickups with seymour duncans and throw the stock ones in garbage.

with old reversed-head? can't find it now, only with new design
@@scriptpunx Yes is okay or better!!! Is come and great Guitar. Design is a Explorer muha Gibson cry.
Hell yeah!!! Absolutely phenominal guitarist!!!! Love the guitar too
Hearing you play, I would bet that you are a fan of the late great Chris Oliva. I can hear him in your playing. Great job! I'm getting one of these.
Do a full review. Would love to see a mod series based on this guitar, maybe a Wilkinson bridge, updated nut and a hetset?
You're one of the best players I've seen ever lol. You should be proud.
Came here from Max, stayed for the playing - subbed 👌

Cool guitar is that the only color? Just subscribed to your channel looking forward to more!
Thank you for supporting me and my journey to try and grow my channel!
As far as I know that is the only color that specific model comes in
I'd have to look into it
do a full review please I am really considering to buy this
Cool! It's a great guitar! I have another video on the way currently
But after I will look into a review!
Nice review! Excellent chops! What is the body size comparison to a Gibson? Thank you!
to be honest haha .. I've never actually played a Gibson explorer. I would think they aren't much different BUT i cannot say for certain so sorry I couldn't be more help
A lesson on bend & vibrato would be most excellent...that really gives a guitar player his sound...
Ohh Good call actually
Vibrato is so so important!
Maybe this should be titled can deacon shred on a $130 guitar.....
*can deacon shred on a kleenex box with an elastic band over the top......
Probably yes
Please do a review..
Good video. Somehow, I think my mileage may vary shred-wise. I'll be in the woodshed...
nice demo man!
do you know if this monster can take the EMG JH set?

It is really unfortunate that the guitar playing world is incredibly oversaturated
BUT that's not bad just makes it harder to navigate through
It's crazy how the competition in Guitar Building is forcing companies to build quality guitars at a cheaper price, awesome for a shredders though.

Right! Haha I couldn't believe it !
Not sure why one couldn't. It's just a guitar. If neck isn't wonky then no problem
