I want the 8 String too, it looks amazing and the price is great too, but im wondering if the quality is any good, and the lack of information on SubZero guitars isnt helping
Hi! Nice tone demonstration! Can you please describe your impressions of the guitar, its condition and how well it is built? Pros and cons, what do you like in it and what not so much? I'll appreciate that very much, thanks!
Hi! Thank you! The finish of the guitar is a mess. Overspray on the binding and on the back. Dings and scratches under the clear coat. Sanding marks on the clear coat. Messy binding job . The nut is tall, it has very deep grooves for the strings. Pickups are good to me. The neck feels nice, frets need some polishing, but good. I had to lower the action quite a bit. I will have to remove the bridge pickup and deepen the pocket, because it almost touches the strings and i can't adjust it any lower. The tuners work fine. Electronics are working too. Overall it plays nicely, sounds good, but don't look at the details. :D
@@MayorPayne666 thnx, that's pretty expectable from such guitar for the price:) but i'm pretty impressed with the sound. Looking forward for new videos and records with it
Hi! In person, the finish looks terrible, lots of flaws, paint overs, dings under the lacquer. Soundwise it sound good, but the pickups are so microphonic in a rehersal situation. I use it mainly with plugins at home so it's fine, but I will change the pickups.
Great video man thank you, this video convinced me to get the guitar, I seem to have been very lucky as my guitar is pristine. I have also made a short demo video for anyone interested.
Yeah, the finish is messy, the nut needed adjustments. The tuners are repainted Harley Benton tuners, but they work fine. :D The pickups are really microphonic in high volumes and high gain settings. The neck needed some truss rod adjustment, but that is typical. Frets are not bad.
Just found your video. Thinking about buying one of these. Can you tell how heavy the guitar is? More on the ibanez or the gibson side? Is it neck heavy?
Hi! I've used OBS to record this, because it was a live stream. A used Reaper for the audio and a plugin called Voxengo Track to Wav recorder so the audio coming from Reaper was routed to the windows audio.
If you don't mind the minor flaws in the finish, then it's a bargain. Sounds huge unplugged too. Maybe you will need to adjust the nut and the neck, and the pickups are not the greatest, but they are fine. Oh and you can split them if you want, they just didn't wired it up in the factory.
Well, if you want a guitar that is perfect out of the box, i would not recommend yout to buy this one. Soundwise it is a good axe. If you know how to solder you can swap out one pot to a push-pull one and have coil split too. I will make another video where I will show how I upgraded and fixed some issues on mine.
Thanks! It's a good guitar. Not the nicest one if you look closely though. :D But sounds good, you can resolder the pickups if you want split coil sounds, cuz they're 4 wire pickups. I will do a proper video for it soon.
9:52 love that section / sound
Finally some videos on subzero guitar wanna get 8 string how long did u wait for your guitar to come in
Thank you! :) I've ordered in january and it arrived in the end of march.

Hey men!! good and nice guitar !! I am honestly thinking of buying one .... what opinion do you have?
Hi! In person, the finish looks terrible, lots of flaws, paint overs, dings under the lacquer. Soundwise it sound good, but the pickups are so microphonic in a rehersal situation. I use it mainly with plugins at home so it's fine, but I will change the pickups.
some of these subzero guitars look identical to the harley benton amarok guitars
This or a Harley Benton 7 baritone?
Well, I've never tried the HB one so i don't know.
Spec wise.. this... All the way
Are those original pickups?
Yes!
@@MayorPayne666 to my ear they sound suprisingly ok
Hello, I love this guitar, is it worth it ?? In price and sound ?? Sounds brutal to you !!!!! a greeting
I think maybe a Harley benton can compete with this in price and features, but still it worth the price.
I have a Harley Benton, and it doesn't sound bad, But this, I see it, with a little more attack, thank you very much, greetings!
@@MayorPayne666 which Harley Benton tho? The amaroks are 200 eur more and the lower end ones the r457 doesn't seem to have the specs to match it
the clean tones are amazing! what are you using to get that tone?
I've used the Mercuriall SS11-X plugin and the Mercuriall Chorus plugin.
I bought one a while back pickups aren’t very good so I replaced the pickups with fishman fluence and it sounds much better!!
What was wrong with them? On this video they sound fine.
@@WarframeCrunch they sounded dead. Maybe I got defective pickups in my guitar. As soon as I changed them out the problem went away
Greetings! I;m about to get myself this guitar soon or the baritone subzero paradigm 6s. Would you still recommend it though?
It sounds and plays good. It's got some visual flaws though and it maybe needs a pickup change.
Great video man thank you, this video convinced me to get the guitar, I seem to have been very lucky as my guitar is pristine. I have also made a short demo video for anyone interested.
Hi, are you still playing it and recommending it one and a half years later?
I'm still playing it when I need a seven string yes. :)
Dude beautiful guitar and sounds great, you need to upload more videos showing how it sounds in the mix
Sounds killer, is it honestly as good as it seems?.. any glaring issues?
Yeah, the finish is messy, the nut needed adjustments. The tuners are repainted Harley Benton tuners, but they work fine. :D The pickups are really microphonic in high volumes and high gain settings. The neck needed some truss rod adjustment, but that is typical. Frets are not bad.
@@MayorPayne666 thanks for the info, I ordered mine just yesterday, can't wait to play it.
what string gauge do you use on this guitar, man?
I think 59 and a 46-10 set.
@@MayorPayne666 Thank you!
Szia,
Tudnál adni egy elérhetőséget ahol tudnánk beszélni? Szeretnék egy-két infót megtudni a gityóról!
Előre is köszi
Bálint
Szeva, gear4music-ról, vagy gsfanatic-on Kala-tól ;-)
Nice playing! Do you know if the pickups have the same dimensions as fishman fluense? Sounds pretty good in the video though!🤘
Thank You! Standard Soapbar pickup size, like EMG 81-7.
I'm interested in the 8 string I was curious for the very cheap price
Do you like the fanned fret?
Just found your video. Thinking about buying one of these.
Can you tell how heavy the guitar is? More on the ibanez or the gibson side?
Is it neck heavy?
Wow
Hi when you recorded this, did you just sync audio alongside video? or did you use some program to record from your DAW/Vsts and such.
Hi!
I've used OBS to record this, because it was a live stream. A used Reaper for the audio and a plugin called Voxengo Track to Wav recorder so the audio coming from Reaper was routed to the windows audio.
would you recommend this guitar?
If you don't mind the minor flaws in the finish, then it's a bargain. Sounds huge unplugged too. Maybe you will need to adjust the nut and the neck, and the pickups are not the greatest, but they are fine. Oh and you can split them if you want, they just didn't wired it up in the factory.
@@MayorPayne666 do you mean that the potenciómeter is already a push pull? Or that there are 4 cables well differentiated?
@@cuncapt The humbuckers have 4 wires yes, but they didn't put in a push pull pot. But i did afterwards :D
@@MayorPayne666 that looks very promising and versatile, even for modern metal guitarsl. How do the split coils sound?
@@cuncapt Thinner and less output, I like the in between position for cleans.
tuning?
A sharp?
@@TheManglerPolishDeathMetal Yes!
Is the neck thin?
Sounds great !
Hey man, cool vid and nice playing. Is the guitar in the video modified at all or is it how you got it out the box?
Hi! Thank you! No mods at all, just a basic setup.
do you think that i should buy this guitar?
Well, if you want a guitar that is perfect out of the box, i would not recommend yout to buy this one. Soundwise it is a good axe. If you know how to solder you can swap out one pot to a push-pull one and have coil split too. I will make another video where I will show how I upgraded and fixed some issues on mine.
@Nándor Tóth Is there any seven string you would suggest i should buy?
@@Robinyoheart It depends on your budget. Check the harley Benton stuff if you want something cheaper, otherwise buy a Solar 7 string :D
You've made this look and sound like a beauty for the price. Is that the case? I mean not bad for it's cost?
Thanks! It's a good guitar. Not the nicest one if you look closely though. :D But sounds good, you can resolder the pickups if you want split coil sounds, cuz they're 4 wire pickups. I will do a proper video for it soon.
@@MayorPayne666 Thanks for your reply. I shall keep this guitar in my considerations list
