  • I recently got my hands on a Neko Guitars Claymore 6-string. A very well done guitar in Superstrat-style with a 26,5" scale length, making lower tunings a delight. More info on Neko Guitars here:
    nekoguitars24.w...
    / nekoguitars
    All guitars and basses on the demo track have been created with a Axe FXII played directly through the built-in USB audio interface.
    Guitar specs:
    Mahogany body
    Maple neck w/Rosewood stripes
    Slim C/D neck profile
    Rosewood fretboard
    26,5" scale length
    24 stainless steel jumbo frets
    2x Neko VK Mamba humbuckers
    Hardtail bridge
    Finish: Metallic Red satin

      +DirtySound22 It depends, but most of the time I am using a Nikon 50mm F1.8 or a Sigma 35mm F1.4

    Nice review Frank... Apparently for 500 bucks guitar, it's a very good deal.
    Keep doing well...

      +Frank Fleckenstein what about the bridge? Is it comfortably?

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  8 лет назад

      +Diego Sierra Yes, it is! It's kind of a Hipshot-style construction!

  • @cyanidejunkie
    @cyanidejunkie 8 лет назад +1

    thnx frank, great vid as always. nice fiddle, but those headstocks always make me nervous.
    been playing 7 and 8 strings so long, only my l.p. feels like the neck isn't gonna snap any second when it comes to 6 strings. whats your preferences on necks? my fav is my jp7, its perfect.
    be well my friend.

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  8 лет назад

      +cyanidejunkie117 Yeah, the headstock might make one nervous, but I checked that first and it's very stable. I am with you on the JP7 neck, but it could be a tiny bit thicker for my personal taste. You be well and safe, man! :)

  • @johndormier1257
    @johndormier1257 8 лет назад +1

    how influenced by Jeff Loomis are you? I hear a lot of his style in your playing. props man!

    Hi Frank! Loved the tone you got out of that guitar and I thinking about buying one. How can I order a Claymore? Should I contact Neko Guitars on facebook? Cheers and have a Happy New Year!!!!

  • @oobboo1799
    @oobboo1799 7 лет назад

    Hallo Frank,
    würdest du eher eine Neko oder eine Ibanez Ironlabel für Prog Metal empfehlen? Aussehen tun sie beide super, aber die Neko hat ein bisschen mehr Custom-Optik, finde ich :).

  • @vuohen6664

    saw one ov these in black 7 strings on eBay for bout 500 after taxes. should I get it?

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  8 лет назад

      +Vuohen 666 If it's in good shape and doesn't have any flaws...why not?

  • @mesadrums375
    @mesadrums375 7 лет назад +1

    I just started to learn about neko guitars and things have been looking bad for them. Have any of you heard about this or know what's going on with them? Cause they looked like they had a solid guitar but I'm not looking to have my money jacked.

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  6 лет назад

      Yeah, I heard some bad stuff about what going on with Neko the last days. Shame, cause everything looked pretty solid when I bought my guitar back then.

  • @jamestheepicfan111
    @jamestheepicfan111 7 лет назад

    hey mate! i know this is a far shot - but think you could review a guitar from Halo guitars? i've been considering a custom shop from them since they (in my opinion) have the best custumization. but i've also heard some bad things about them (quality wise) some time ago

  • @NothingHereButMe
    @NothingHereButMe 7 лет назад +1

    Would you recommend one? There's one on eBay right now for £360

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  7 лет назад

      +Luke Walker Hmm, it certainly depends on how its condition is. If all is good, then 360 seems to be a good price.

  • @ERIKNORDLING

    Is your solo album out? Where can I find it?

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  7 лет назад +2

      +ShadeofSound Not yet, still working on some last details. I want this to be perfect, since it'll be my very first solo release.

    • @ERIKNORDLING
      @ERIKNORDLING 7 лет назад

      Frank Fleckenstein that's the way to do it. Looking forward to it!

    How do the Neko guitars compare to the Kiesel guitars?

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  8 лет назад

      +Benjamin The Neko is very different to the Kiesel models I own. Build quality is good, but still far away from the level that Kiesel will offer you. Neko is still a very young company though.

  • @danuwisnuwardhana4173
    @danuwisnuwardhana4173 8 лет назад

    What do you think of Neko's Claymore? is this worth it's price or worth higher than it's price? i've seen many bashings about Neko just because their latest builds are made in china. I don't think that a chinese made guitar are equal to cheap and garbage. Just give them a chance to proves themselves

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  8 лет назад

      +Danu Wisnuwardhana I think it's worth the price and a little more than that in fact. They get a lot of bashing because people seem to be sensitive when companies design a guitar with a Blackmachine-style headstock, except for some builders.

    • @danuwisnuwardhana4173
      @danuwisnuwardhana4173 8 лет назад

      how did Claymore's felt compared to similar price range, for example with Ibanez RG 7421? in terms of overall specs and tone?

    • @FrankFleckenstein
      @FrankFleckenstein  8 лет назад +2

      Definitely better than a RG7421 tbh.

    • @danuwisnuwardhana4173
      @danuwisnuwardhana4173 8 лет назад

      fair enough

    You're pronouncing Neko wrong. It's Japanese for cat so Google translate will tell you. ;)
