Great video, my 446 was delivered last week. Your certainly right with your points , what I am very surprised about was the set up out the box , really very good. Bit of work needed with polishing the frets like yours then it will be a very nice guitar. My colour is blood metallic red which looks awesome
Nice to see you back making content.🙂
I've been wanting a purple guitar since Cradle of Filth became my entry level band into dark and black metal 20+ years ago...Still want one, never got one lol. Pink seems to be the next trendy colour after purple that everyone seems to love. I am not sure why but it really has something. Pink, purple, and white simply look sexy

Great review Cory, you were one of the first mentioning versatility of the guitar with split coil positions, and explaining it - very informative. I think this is very good entry level all-rounder for home recording and musical projects - you dont have to buy extra HSS or HSH for single pickup sound 👍. Wish they will make more green coloured guitars, such as this one with green flamed maple top🧫

Great to see you again, i have been following your excellent reviews for a few years and have missed you for a while now. HB can make some good value for money desirable guitars, provided you get a good blemish free sample and from my experience this is not always the case. I now only buy their indonesian made Fusion models, they are good out of the box and don't need a lot of work or upgrades to make the play well. Thanks for this review Cory, looking forward to more new video's from you.🙂👍
Bought a metallic green one. Tuning is concrete stable with D'Addario XL 117s (11 set) tuned to C standard after a good setup. No sharp fret ends, just a tiny bit dry fingerboard (fixed with Ernie Ball Wonder Wipes). Fabulous looking, very comfortable and versatile axe for the money. Thought I share :)

2-week update: got bored of the C-standard, gonna go back to E-standard and replace the strings with EB nickel 9s. Having a bit of trouble setting the neck long-term, buzz here and there so apparently it's not as perfect as I first thought. Still a cool sounding guitar, maybe a bit one-dimensional overall (good to have coil split at least).

I was going to buy an Ibanez to get the best of both worlds: EVH style playing and Strat style(because some Ibanez’s are capable) However, I’ve fallen in love with the R446. Which allows me to get a gig bag and pedal. Only issue: no whammy bar. Can a whammy pedal fill the gap for both dirty and clean? Or at least dirty? What is an alternate solution?
which one is better jackson js11 dinky or this guitar. Can you give me some advice please

@CoryMura
Жыл бұрын
Thanks.. Man, who knows. Maybe the HB has even been built by Cort. HB got no own factories afaik. Cort is solid stuff. The x100 got a trem, that's what makes it a bit more versatile. As far as i can see both guitars got high output pickups with a 5 way switch. So soundwise i don't expect too much differences. If you can, order both and keep the one you like better.
Cool, schön das du wieder da bist. Evtl. kommt wieder etwas mehr, ich mag deine Art. Das Brett sieht wirklich interessant aus für den Preis. Kannst du was zur Saitenlage sagen? Und evtl. wie hoch du die Pickups geschraubt hast. Grüße von der Ostsee.

Hey, danke für das Review. Ich habe bislang nur Bass gespielt (Long Scale), will aber auch mit Gitarre anfangen. Würdest du sagen, dass die Gitarre für einen Anfänger(habe eher schlanke nicht wahnsinnig lange Finger) (mit evtl. Bünde schleifen nachpfeilen etc.) geeignet ist zum Üben und Spielen von verschiedenen Sounds?
@CoryMura
Жыл бұрын
Ja, total geeignet. Wenn du das Bünde schleifen nicht erwähnt hättest hätte ich eher nein gesagt, weil das für einen Anfänger ziemlich Frustrierend sein könnte. Ist natürlich durchaus möglich das ich Pech hatte bei meiner und kein polieren usw. bei dir nötig ist

Actually a very good guitar, but what stopped me from buying it are the Artec pickups. If Harley Benton had also equipped this guitar with the great Roswell pickup, I would have kept the guitar in Graphite Metallic. I wonder why Harley Benton (Thomann) didn't install a Roswell here, but used the Artec ????
