Man listen.. I have watched a bunch of reviews on this guitar, and YOU are the only one to actually hit on all of the important areas. I really appreciate you, and the way you touched on the types of things a guitar player actually cares about. Great review, great editing, great sound. Thanks man, I'm ordering one right now.

I have the green model and it plays sooo good. I usually play Jackson but I bought one of these out of curiosity and I have not been disappointed, I've gigged with it and it performed great. This is a well made guitar and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a solid guitar.

Got mine today. Wow, I've been getting ripped off all this time. I just returned a Charvel DK24 because it just wouldn't hold tune. I played the hell out of the Revenge bending the strings to the limit and it held tune very well, considering it has new strings I was impressed. I lowered the action a bit and it's great, no dead frets nothing. I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. And I've always wanted a Destroyer type axe. This thing has already inspired my playing. For $220. The DK24 cost me $700 used...

I was finally able to order a black one. I contacted the company and asked them to make some more and they did! They contacted me when they were ready and had 4 in stock. I’m glad I ordered one that night because they were sold out the next morning. So pumped for this. I’ve always wanted an explorer type guitar but never wanted to pay the price for the name on the headstock for the ones that are available. So happy with this purchase!

great demo brother. been looking at this exact explorer copy for my grandson. i want to hip you to a guitar i just bought the sawtooth 12 string electric acoustic!!!! frigging wow. i received this beauty on their half off sale 3 months ago. it took me 13 days to get it, it took that long because they put a full set up on it. when received it was 1/2 step low top e string and a fraction flat on the g string. after tuning up I have played this almost every day for three months and have tuned it twice!! the intonation on this beauty is amazing. I know you're a metal head but brother nothing is more beauty full than an electric 12. I've own a 1975 12 string guild, seagull Gibson and a Washburn and actually once on a drug induced coma bought a bought a Taylor (junk) sorry the truth hurts. this instrument market is so great right now these cheap low-end guitars I've been purchasing have been really good for the price point. i challenge you to demo the sawtooth 12 electric they are phenomenal. love your channel. I'm 65 and there is nothing ever going to beat rock and roll baby. rap is a fad, but rock is legend. love your playing keep going sum day maybe the rock gods find favor with the soul you have in the fingers brother.

Very good, honest, and comprehensive review of an axe for those on an extremely tight budget, and it is truly best bang for the buck! I just got mine, and aside from a much needed truss rod adjustment, action and intonation setup, it's a real nice, great looking axe! But, I will change the pickups on mine because I don't really like the stock ones.

I just got the Green one about 2 weeks ago. It's well worth the money! But I did change out the God-awful strings for GHS Boomers, Had to adjust the intonation, lower the action, and raise the pickups, I did put different knobs on it. I also added strap Locks but changed to location of the front one to the position of where it would be on most guitars. Over time I will put better tuning machines on it and probably the bridge. The D string did not intonate fully and ran out of room to go forward anymore. But it is close. Did Not have to adjust the truss rod and there were no buzzing frets so that was good. Amazing guitar for Metal! Just be prepared to give it a set up on it right off the bat.

When you mention body pieces in te electronic cavity. You actually refer to toolmarks from router bit as it was routing the hole. It goes level by level in like 2cm layers deeper and deeper. Bodies arent usually pieces of wood laminated on eachother in multiple layers (except for top). Multi piece body means multiple 4cm pieces glued by sides to cover area big enough for body to fit in. There exist guitars where body is laminated the way you described but it is absolute minority and was done mostly in the past not nowadays.

I purchased the red version of this guitar when they first hit Amazon. My bridge also says Epi*****. My pickups are just like the ones on my Epiphone Les Paul... PAF Humbuckers (Chrome). My factory volume knob goes from 0 to 10 at about half a turn... so I have replaced the pots. Bone nut: yes The action on mine is a tad higher than I'd like it to be. The sustain on mine is pretty darn good for a China made guitar. My review is there along with pics so you can see what mine looks like. I plan to get Westcreek's green version next. Is this guitar worth the money? Yes

I might buy it as a side project to tinker with. I have a set of PRS Tremonti pickups, CTS pots, a few orange drop caps, and a switch craft hand wired switch sitting around looking for a home. The parts would be 2.5x the price of the guitar, so maybe not the best idea. Then again, they are worth much just sitting in my drawer. We'll see.
