The price is justified by its minimal design. This is a metal axe. One bridge pickup and one volume knob means less junk creating resistance between the signal and the output, and no extra magnetic pull on the strings from the unused pickups. One pickup/one knob guitars are a specific kind of beast. I have a heavily modified Jackson JS-22 7 string where I ripped out the neck pickup and put an Aztec calendar belt buckle over the hole. I replaced the bridge with an SD Black Winter, and switched out the tone knob for an overdrive knob (EMG Afterburner). The 3-way switch now toggles between coil split/humbucker with controls/pickup straight to output (bypass/blower switch)
@@CompanyGrip I was trying to emulate the ESP LTD Viper 7B; it's an offset SG shaped 7 string baritone with a single SD Black Winter. My first guitar as an Epiphone G400 Goth (matte black Epiphone SG with only a XII on the 12th fret, very similar to this guitar)
Nice in depth review (and, as you say, there’s currently very little out there on this model). I bought this model a month or two ago…so light, comfortable, good looking and great sounding…I play it ALL the time. Extremely fun guitar to just grab and play, and available at an attractive price.

Typically id skip to the demo for these type of videos but the info parts are really good. Thanks for covering this!
Thank you so much! With how I play it’s probably better than the demo part. 🤪 Thanks for checking it out! Cheers!
This guitar has been teasing me for a couple of months... for lack of reviews I didn't pull the trigger, now I have enough info great review!

Nice! Sounds pretty cool!

Very well done review.
Thanks for checking it out!
Excellent review. Just found your site. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you for the sub and for checking out the vid! Cheers!
Really appreciate your in depth videos about these guitars. There's so few videos about them. Hope you get to do the other models too!
Thank you for checking it out! I hope to one day!
Another excellent in-depth review! Thanks.
Thank you for checking it out! 🤘🏽
Enjoy the research you do with guitars. Another single pickup guitar to compare and consider . 😎👍🏽
🤘🏽
Man I really like the track "Balk and Bowl", I think a pinch harmonic thrown in would sound cool. Great review and demo as always.
Thanks! I think I came up with that when I did the Greeny review because it really showcased the phase reversal!
Cheers mate!
polara looks so much better
So much better than what?
@@Zoso981 than the Gibson
I wonder if the body on this guitar has the same thickness as the Polara Deluxe?
