i hope for a 6 string version with maple fretboard

Great review, man. Thanks ! Im gonna buy both AAAAaaand rewire some pickups!!

What if i have a trash metal band and i like the muddy sound would that 7 string be good to practice and even play on a stage? I might upgrade to emg and shield the guitar would that be ok? I want to get a go to 7 string fanfret and i dunno what to expect

Hows the tuning stability on harley bentons? Ive been eyeing a 7 string fan fret

What would be your recommendations for alternate pickups?

thanks for this review. What amp u use ? What about the pickups. pretty clean or still kind muddy ? Thanks

How is the neck thickness compared to the Ibanez RG8 ?

Great review, just got my 8 string. But going high A tuning

what the music at the end?

Thank you! great review

So good review, sounds like they are ideally mod platforms

Every time Cory uploads a video I hope it's an update on the HSS strats (Prototype 4/5) :D Btw, really appreciate the honesty on these reviews.

moin moin. Hat zufällig irgendwer eine Ahnung, ob der EMG 808X in die 458 fanfret passt? wäre dankbar für jede antwort.

What are the pickup options for this guitar as i have to change it anyways to make it stage ready

So, likely change pickups, and for sure coat the whole inside of the cavity of copper tape to combat noise. Not a bad deal

Awesome video just subscribed 👍🏼

Thanks for the great review. Do you think these would take a Fishman Fluence 7 set? Do you know that the dimensions of the pickups are?

Other than the pickups and tuners would you say the R457 is a good guitar for modding?

They look awesome! Gonna check the 8 string later this year,!!

Thanks a lot for the very comprehensive review! Do you know if they fixed the muddiness on the 2020 version?

Cat seemed to like them :)

I thought of getting one but being a tinkerer I'd want to change the pickups (oh, and because I dont play metal, so I'd want vintage spec pickups). The trouble is finding after-market angled pickups.

Proven fact is that the noise on these guitars is caused by the grounding issue.

How do the pickups on these compare to the non fan fretted 8 string? And with the fan fret version it's easy enough to mod to EMG 808x's?

Nice background!

How do you rate the improvement from older version?

I wanna throw some licking tuners and Fishman fluence pickups in one of these so bad.

i totally fell in love with the cat

I wish hb would make more extended scale 6 strings 🙁

Rather have 6 string instead. Price is right though. Let's see other colors. 6 string please.

I love how many times you say 169 euros.

The guitars are cool looking... "for some reasons". ☺️ But that's it.

these and a set of EMGs are still a cheap combo :)

came to the comments for the kitty

Dear Sir you point out that is 169 euro (7string) a few times BUT it is not true because you will have to change tunning keys and pu's. If you go cheap you may add 80-100 euros for smaller brand pickups (warman, iron gear etc) and from Thomman an ok lockin tunning 7 string set about 110 euros so we talk about 400 euros aproximately. If the guitar is nice to play ... THEN and only then worth the money the 169. If the feel of the guitar is not 400 euro compatible then it does not worth it. Because I am thinking of doing this I would like your opinion. I am Ok with the maple fretboard...

169 euro is also too expensive for me :(

Honest Cory strikes again. Sorry HB, but, you need to do some more homework ...

just subscribe...do it..its not hard german/deutsches video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZqYfMqQ05iteZc.html

You sound like a german😂 Bist du Deutsch?

electric fart machines, Its nearly as bad as Gibson Les Pual 7 String.. xD

Damnnnn 1:02 why there is the trend to not paint the neck?? it looks so fucking ugly, like there forgoten to paint it ...

Terrible sound.. You can make it sound better. I have this guitar and sounds much better
