Fun to assemble, worth the price
GL123 17.08.2024
Arrived in a few days, well packed. The assembly instructions was in german (but you can download the english one)
The wood pattern is very beautiful on mine so I've deicided not try to paint it.
Assembled in a couple of hours without difficulties, was a lot of fun. Setup also went smoothly. Equipped 10-46 Elixirs instead of the bundled strings.
1st impression: Wow, that's a decent guitar. Neck is comfortable, the body is light (but doesn't feel cheap), the neck dive doesn't annoy me.
Sound is decent, a bit more noisy on high gain compared to a ZW set (81/85). I'm using with a PC (2i2 gen4 -> AmpKnob or other VSTs).
1-2 weeks after:
- I've got grounding issues. Apparently filing the paint from the string holder the solved it. Still a bit more noisy in hi-gain than a 81-85, but still rocks
- Although I take good care of it, the horns seem fragile, maybe the wood is too soft. Maybe it should be varnished
- Still happy with the guitar :)

Fun project but it's not perfect
hisaint 01.10.2024
It arrived very well packaged and i sanded off the finish from the front of the guitar body and stained it a very nice red color, I chose to leave the sides and back unpainted because the wood color is very nice, assembly took about an hour and a half and the wires were not marked like the photos, the manual was in German so i had to use a translated one on my phone, had a lot of buzzing problems and adjustment but finally it sound great. Beautiful guitar nice sound, a lot of noise when using high gain. Quality is 3 stars just because of the wires not being marked and the manual being horrible, otherwise this is a nice project and a nice final product.

Veel gitaar voor je geld
Mitchmaister 22.08.2024
De onderdelen zijn goed ingepakt in meerdere lagen karton, perfect. De body is prima afgewerkt alleen komen er heel snel deuken in, pas op met schroevendraaiers. De handleiding op papier is in het Duits maar online is de Engels te vinden. De handleiding zelf is een beetje beroerd. De plaatjes zijn in zwart wit en aangegeven met witte kabels, er zijn alleen rode en zwarte. Ook staat bijv. niet bij een straplock of pot of er nog een ringetje voor moet. Pickups zijn niet echt ruisvrij maar klinken prima. De fretten moeten wellicht wel nog effe geveild worden.

Al met al als je een beetje gitaarkennis hebt is het een hele leuke gitaar.

Sarò stato sfortunato io....
Karletto999 13.09.2024
Avevo acquistato già in passato un kit simil PRS e mi ero trovato veramente bene , ma con questo della Explorer non ho avuto una buona esperienza. La chitarra in se é buona, peccato che i fori del ponte non siano stati fatti centrali al manico ma spostati a sinistra, pertanto, le corde non sono centrate al manico stesso. Un consiglio, non per fare polemica: seppur essere un kit di produzione in massa, prestate più attenzione nella realizzazione altrimenti, come nel mio caso, risulta avere uno strumento insuonabile.
