Thats a hell of a lot of geetar for the money, looks and sounds the nuts! Nicely done sir
Thank you so much!
I ordered this exact guitar 2 days ago! Thank you soooo much for this review mate!
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped. Let me know what you think of it 😊
The Harley Benton Pro series is pretty much the best value guitars you can get imho. I bought an Amarok-BT a few months ago for 280 off eBay, sold the pickups for 130 and put some passive Tonerider pickups in it and oh my god it sounds incredible now. My guy got the action nice and low with Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinkys which work perfect on a 27" scale length for someone who's used to playing 10s - very similar feel.
The neck is incredible, great frets, built like a tank and my only problem really is I hate the reverse headstock but that's the only issue I have with it.
I bought an Amarok Baritone off ebay too. Perfect, older built for 325 pound. Sold the pickups for 130 pound as well. Sold the Grover locking tuners for 65 pound. I put Alan Entwistle Neodymium pickups HDN set, put Guyker PRO locking machine heads, put Guyker Titanium alloy nut, re-done cavities shielding and changed the whole electronics. I use custom Ernie Ball 12-62 set... ...and this guitar is a MONSTER. Since I have this Amarok I have been selling all of my other guitars. Just one tele style guitar left to sell. I am going to stick to AMAROK only for good. Nothing I had impressed me as much as this one. After all mods the final cost of this axe is 260 pound. Plays like million dollar baby and the feel while playing is AMAZING.
One of mine is a Fender limited custom telecaster. Set neck flame maple top, HH. Stellar guitar. It is made in Indonesia. I also have the guitar you are reviewing. It's my first baritone. I'm still figuring out what to do with it...
IME, with my baritones, you're better off with a bit higher action. It just works better for the thicker strings and lower tunings. You set it too low, and it gets real clanky, if you know what I mean.
I already own a regular 6 string Amarok and am looking for a baritone but I hate the thick chunky neck on this thing so I'd rather go for someting like Jackson SLA6DX
You are lucky. I've got Amarok-7 with a bit misplaced bridge, saddle buzz and a lot small visual defects. Wanted to buy BT instead, but quite a lot of people have problems with misplaced bridges also, so they can't intonate it properly. So everyone buying Amarok - better check intonation in few tunings first. Other than that, guitars feel very good.
But to be honest, I have received yesterday Ibanez RGD61ALA-MTR (1.1k EUR): Bridge pickup upper screw is broken in half, neck pickup upper screw's head is destroyed. Bridge pickup blocks 5-6th strings, neck pickup can't be lowered also. And by the way, guitar does not even work. Is it Indonesian Ibanez quality right now? So I guess every guitar now is a lottery..
Apparently the company will send you a whole new guitar if you tell them you are having a problem.
Nice vid
I'm looking for another guitar for Standard B tuning, no solo stuff, just Carcass style chugs, and I'm deciding between this Amarok-BT (499€) or stepping up to a Solar Guitars baritone (about 800€).
It could be worth that extra money or the Amarok is enough for the buck? I am no pro guitarist at all, I play since 2007 but just some hobby playing 2-3 hours a week
BTW: I am in love with my EMG 81 pickups
I wish I could help you more but I've never had a chance to play a Solar guitar yet. I hear they're very good and I would expect it to be high quality. I'd maybe try out the HB first as it's cheaper and probably a bit easier to return. But if you decide you like it then you've saved yourself some money and ended up with a good guitar.
Otherwise maybe try to search out somewhere where you can try out a Solar? I like the EMG 81 too! I don't play a baritone as my main guitar but I'm very happy with the Amarok. Hope that helps!
@@JakeLeighGuitar Thank you so much 👍
Out of the box, what is it tuned too? E standard?
B Standard
@@JakeLeighGuitar could this be tuned to e standard and use in a band setting with just a lighter gage?
@@daxreacts3620 you probably could. I’d be more inclined to go the other way, getting a standard 25.5 inch Amarok and down tuning when you want to play in lower tunings.
That's a handsome guitar! The start felt a bit Nuno inspired? Have you been enjoying the new Extreme stuff? ...and purple is the opposite side of the colour wheel to green so is a great contrast :) Got an orange guitar that would work well with the blue background I should send you when convenient ;)
I've (embarrassingly) only listened to the single and I loved it. That solo! I need to listen to some more. Ah, so that's why the colours worked so well! Science! I am excited about the orange guitar. Especially if it's the one I'm thinking of!
@@JakeLeighGuitar I got into Extreme when I was about 15 years old, so they're very ingrained in me. They kinda vanished for a long time for me. So that's personally why I'm excited for the new one.
deep purple on barytone - it is cool
How smooth is the finnish to the touch?
I definitely prefer Harley Benton on the headstock.
Thank you!
Very cool channel just sub.🤟
Thanks so much!! 😊
