    I'll be heading to Thomann after handing in my thesis next week to reward me with a new guitar. It's gonna be a 7-string as I want to dabble with extended range songs a bit more. I definitely like making djent/metal/prog music.
    In regards to your statement at 22:30: do you really think there are no better 7 string guitars in the price range until 999€? I really wanted to get a multiscale model, so I was planning on checking out the Reaper 7 and the Cort KX500MS. But these Amaroks have me intrigued, as I like stainless steel frets a lot and all the other hardware seems to either match or trump the Cort and the Schecter for just 599€ except there's no multiscale model.
    For down tuning while still having nice tension on the higher strings I think multiscale is pretty great but I'm not quite sure its 200-300€ greater ;)
    Excited to see how these guitars fare when playing them.
    Thanks so much for the video!

    I got the 7 string version last week. Unfortunately there were some major issues with this particular guitar: broken nut, a dent on the headstock, paint damage on one of the potis.
    But thomann customer service was very friendly. They offered me to send it back or to provide me replacement parts and a discount. I decided to return the guitar. I hope you guys are more lucky than me :)
    Edit: Apart from these issues the guitar made a solid impression with really nice features (locking tuners, tusq nut, active pickups...). The pickups are a little bit too hot and harsh for my taste. Would probably thrown in some duncans or fishmans.

    • @xRepoUKx

      Every single Amarok that's been reviewed has had at least 2 problems. I have a different HB which was sold as a B stock but was more like a D. They offered a partial refund and replacement parts but when I emailed in the parts I needed they refused to send them. Not cool. I bought another guitar from them since then and would still buy more, they are great value if you don't get one with issues.

I was like come on, it was 45 euro to ship the thing. But it plays pretty well and sending back from the US as a result of shipping damage is a hassle, so we'll see.

    Bought an Amarok EX7, the stainless steel fret ends were sharp though and hurting my finger.. I contacted Thoman, they gave me the option to send it back to Germany for free so they fix it, or I could find a local Luthier who can fix the frets, send them the receipt of repair (which was 70€) and they would reimbuse me.. Of course I chose the second option, their warranty options were amazing and really, whatever build related problem you may face, they are very fexible and creative into finding the easiest solution.. at least that was my experience. but keep in mind, not every luthier has the proper tools to work on stanless steel frets, I had to search a bit.

    I am going out of my ever loving mind trying to decide on what guitar to buy! I haven't played guitar in YEARS (life got in the way and I quit for a long time) but I've been looking to get back into playing and I am in the market to buy a guitar preferably in the 600 to 800 dollar market (give or take). I've done some research over the last few months or so and I seem to have narrowed it down to a small handful of guitars. The Solar A2.6, The Schecter C-1, The Schecter Reaper 6, The Fender Player HSS, The PRS SE Custom 24, and most recently added to my list... this Harley Benton Amarok. I cannot for the life of me make up my mind! I tell ya, these days there are just so many good guitars to choose from! If you could give me any advice, tips, or suggestions to help me narrow down my choices, I would appreciate it! Thanks.

I can't get past the hideous tele-like headstock they put on their modern super strat style guitars. They have a good headstock on the Ghostfret, so idk why they don't use that design. Same thing with the modern-looking V they have with the ugly, mismatched Flying V wide shovel headstock. If they put the Ghostfret headstock on their V's and super strats, I'd be interested.

    I already own a Harley Benton SC-Custom for a few years now and I'm still really happy with it. Great playability, comfortable action, solid pickups, quality tuners with a good ratio, overall solid craftsmanship. The only flaws it has are related to the finish. But we're talking minor stuff you'd see even on guitars in the 500+ EUR range. So I have absolutely no qualms buying another Harley Benton. The whole Pro Series thing is amazing. Indonesia is basically what "Made in Korea" was for Ibanez guitars in the early 2000s, quality-wise. So that's great. I don't know if I'll go with this particular model or actually with your Signature model. That one is pretty neat as well...

    If I'd been on the market for a metal axe, I'd go for an HB model. I owned a base Ibanez RG 3-series model (not GIO) - it had a 3 piece neck. Now, even the 4 series had a meagre one piece neck with a scarf joint and they feel cheap. That's why I cherish my first generation RGAs* - because they're better quality instruments than what you're getting today this side of the premium range. For the money, I don't think you can get a better instrument.
    *One of them is Prestige TJCraft, but the rest are basic models of the era.

    Informative, funny and great as always. I'd like to maybe share a little remark with you. I believe it's time we stop saying "oh, its a 500 euros guitar we can't expect this or that". I think that generally this doesn't help us consumers (buyers) and it enables companies to make unnecessary mistakes and get away with them. 500 euros is still a lot of money and we are no longer in e.g. 60s where you had 3 guitar companies dominating the market. Competition is really high, there are literally hundreds of brands making guitars today and we should expect to get as amazing instruments as possible for this and/or any other price tag. Cheers

    Let's appreciate that even if it's a metal guitar, they didn't stick a Floyd rose there. The shape kinda reminds me to an Ibanez Kiko Loureiro used to play.
    I think that the closest competitors are are Schecter, ir consider that you are paying more for the consistency and that they can offer more models and different features, specially for lefties. I love Ibanez but I think they are falling in the Gibson, Fender habit of charging more for a name in the headstock, just a little bit (nobody beats Gibson on that anyway)

Unless Am I missing something but the Amaroks use EMGs which take most of price difference into equation (Roswell pickups are significantly cheaper) so minus the pickups they cost the same roughly.
