My first guitar from thomann and my first harley benton guitar
When the guitar arrived and i unboxed it, i noticed bits and chunks of the nut all over the guitar and i noticed the nut was like kinda rushed when someone tries to filed it. There are some minor inperfection here and there but what could you expect from this price point.
Pro
1.Looks good
2.Good high gain sounding pup
3.Neck feels nice, no sharp edges
4.Its quite light and thin (for me)
Cons
1.The fretbar is a little too rough (bending feels very rough)
2.The fretboard is little dirty and dry (probably normal)
3. Very minor paint issue on both tailpiece and the bridge
4.The tailpiece have a little metal sticking out that is pointy and sharp
5.The pickup are...too distorted
6.The nut was filed down in rushed manner
7. It got neck dive...
Despite the cons of this guitar i still recommend it TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO FIX SOME OF THESE CONS definitely not a beginner guitar IMO, personally some of these cons can be easily fix anyway.

First of all, it’s incredibly cheap, and it has amazing sound and body. It doesn’t slide down like other Explorers, but the guitar's build quality isn’t perfect the volume button and cable hole have loosened. But who cares? For this price, buying this guitar is a no-brainer. Hell yeah, go for it!

Better than many brand name mid-range models.

Honestly, I was not expecting much for the price I paid, but was pleasantly surprised at the build quality! I swapped the noisy HB active pups out to an EMG 81/85 set, Set up the bridge, and viola! Shred city! I have played the guitar at three Pale Horse Prophesy shows and it performed better than I could have hoped! Thanks Thomann for the fast shipping, and the great new toy!

Worth the (low) price

I received the guitar neatly wrapped in bubble wrap with no transport damages. It looks amazing at first glance but there are some minor issues with it. There are very small imperfections in its finish,the fret work is a little bit sloppy and there is also something white on the entire fretboard.The guitar was setup and ready to play out of the box and has no issues at all except for minor cosmetic ones. Overall a great guitar for the price.

decent guitar

this guitar is a brilliant guitar to play, easy to use as I'm a beginner and it fits perfectly into the music I want to learn. the pickups are great sounding but can be a bit buzzy sometimes. it's brilliant quality with no neck dive that I'm grateful for. only gripe I could say is that the cable jack wasn't fitted on properly as it was inside the guitar and had to fix it on myself. but other than that it's a great guitar and brilliant playing all round

I liked it right away when I unpacked it.
But first things first. The shipping was very fast, guitar was very well packed. The service of Thomann is beyond all praise.
And now to its features. Sound is roaring and I like it. It's a great option for those who want to try active pickups in action.

Great for its price

Saw this one with active pickups, bought it and it's great. Great introduction to active pickups. Although I had to adjust some screws and truss rod its great.
