Hey bro. Just wondering,how is it? I got the latest Epiphone Les Paul Classic Worn and love it and my bro is probably gonna get this soon. Looks and sounds fuckin rad.

@@peaner083 I bought my purple Extura used for $100 off new price, because it’s sold out everywhere but can be ordered new. Mine came in very good, almost mint condition: locking tuners are tight, fretboard smooth & Fishman pickups sound clean enough to make computer chips. Durable, tight, well constructed, binding tight. Neck is super easy accessible, that back cutout makes it super easy to get to that 24th fret. Cool splitting and vintage sound electronics work fine. It was already set up to play because it was used. This is my first Explorer bodied guitar, but it might be on the lighter, less heavy side of Explorer shapes, which can easily go past 20 lbs. But it is a metal shredder and can deliver the heavy, tight ass riffs, fo sho. This was the most cost effective way for me to check all the boxes. Even if you wanted just the Fishman pickups on their own for another guitar, they’d cost at least $300, then you’d need to re-wire and re-install for at least $200 because Fishman pickups aren’t plug and play and not easily installable into every guitar.

@@goodgriefitssimon $100??!!

@@angelsolis6172 No, read carefully: I paid $100 discount off new price. New sells for $900. I paid $800.

Or Russel Brand

Except lefties lol

Lol. I wish this was true.

@@jamesm6083 i was born left handed but i had to learn to play guitar right handed because i didnt have a choice my uncle gave me my first guitar and said to me that i had to learn to play right handed because left handed guitars are in fact more expensive so i mean im happy lol

@@Nickgaming-sy5og Have you ever tried a left handed guitar?

@@Foxikaze yeah i cant play one it feels weird

Same. And then I'm getting a brass dipped locking trem for it, and switching out all the silver/chrome parts for gold/brass. A white guitar naturally deserves to be golden as well.

@@nobodysdamnbusiness Epiphone already has the Lzzy Hale Explorer

Honestly i Think everyone does

Are you able to use a whammy bar for this guitar?

@@iwearstilts8847 i mean you could mod it to

@@iwearstilts8847 no man it has a hard tail

🤘🤘

Epiphone makes a purple les paul classic

Any good?

At least! If she says anything ask to see her shoe collection! She's been doing the same with shoes!

Or purses

@@l01ner she who?

You're wrong buddy,i'm sure you'll do,24 frets&speed neck help you to achieve this goal👍

Just grab one dude, trust me I play one it’s worth it

Ooh I'm a bit biased towards the Fantomen atm but if you have an unwavering dedication to active pickups or generally higher output, go with the Extura. The Fantomen is incredibly versatile in its own right but not as high output. Of course, I run through a good tube amp with plenty of overdrive so I still get a tone I like.

@@jmhanelineiv honestly, me too!

Same here brother!😂😂

Ht stage 100 mk 2

that's what I was looking for. how are these things balanced? I have an epiphone thunderhorse and I love everything about it, except standing and playing it...

We're going to run both soon! Thanks for watching! -Lee

Like an acoustic

Say screw it and go with the V

Thats the "active" circuit side of the pickup...a built in pre amp which requires 9v. It is only "on" when the guitar has a cable plugged in. Batteries last a long time.

They are active pickups & not your traditional Alnico V or Ceramic pickups. & the battery lasts in my 2016 Prophecy for quite some time. Longer than u would think actually

6-10 months approx depending how often you use the guitar so you won't be changing batteries all the time.

I could be wrong, but isn't Harley Benton only for Thomann

@@tylercady3985 damn I just checked and I think you might be right

@@connorthomas7009 yeah I was checking them out because I'm American so I was looking for the best deal on getting one here

Tone knob dictates the voice so coil split will be 'live'

@@juk3b0xgr1m thanks for that👍

@A Random Gamer The dude looks like kirk hammet and kirk would have acsess to an explorer through james hetfield r/youmissedthejoke bro

@@absolutedegenerate2992 no way bro actually referenced a subreddit 💀💀

@@Kale-idoscope Our cover's been compromised back to headquarters

Nothing is scratch-proof. You'll just have to be delicate, or not care. Putting a pickguard on will kill the mojo. It's also not standard, so you'd have to have a custom one made that accommodates the new shape, closer pickups, 24 frets, and sans the three-way switch. Just play it and enjoy it.

You can find a fabrication shop somewhere close most likely that can make you a clear plexiglass pick guard. May cost you $100 or more but you better make sure they measure everything properly. I personally would not put a single screw hole in that top. Let the scratches come... it just makes the guitar more “yours.” However, if pick scratches bum you out, you can buy some Maguire’s Scratch-X in the auto section of your local Walmart and buff out any light scratches easily. I’ve used that stuff on my 58 reissue Les Paul with no fear. It is a great product and works like magic

You just put them on the second setting. It's the classic explorer sound. Perfect for Death Metal. DM tone is just thrash tone with more money behind it.

No. Lol.

It's a pretty big guitar! Not too heavy though. it is a bit weighty, but not crazy.

@@PMTVUK okay thank you🤘

I have the old prophecy and it doesn't feel cramped at all smaller yes but not cramped.

@@zarlodious1 okay cool. That’s literally the one thing that makes me on the fence about buying it

@@patheticpigeon7673 The jumbo frets make it easier as well! I actually prefer the older version (Not a fan of the new colors except the tiger blue) I have two guitars with Fishman already and honestly cannot hear ANY difference in the voicings and it just sounds plain to me. I did swap out the 81/85 for Het set in mine and it has a great sound to it. I have $1300 guitars that are not as good as this prophecy so that should tell you something.

The scale length is the standard 24.75 inches, which will make the frets a bit closer together than a Jackson. The number of frets doesn't matter. A 24.75 inch guitar will have the same fret spacing whether it has 22 or 24 frets, since it's the distance from the nut to the bridge saddle.
