A lefty explorer for under 300 bucks? Where else can that happen?
Anonymous 06.12.2016
HB has managed something incredible with this one. The explorer has been my favorite body style in the guitar world for a long time, and trying to find one has been a difficult task to say the least, me being southpaw and all.
I bought this thinking I didn't have a lot to lose, since it's so affordable. I'll give you a breakdown on why this is one of the greatest bang-for-your-buck instruments out there.
Construction:
Very solid work, the gloss is just beautiful. This isn't just another black guitar slapped on the conveyor for some kid, it's meant to be shown off.
Pickups:
Remarkably clear sounding, quite vibrant.
Bridge/Tailpiece:
Classy finish, doesn't feel cheap at all.
Neck/Fretboard:
Here is my only real grievance. There was a lone scratch on the fifth fret on the fretboard. Otherwise, the inlays and frets are in beautiful condition.
Pickguard:
I love the 3-ply construction of the pickguard. It makes a real difference to the look of this guitar up close.
Headstock:
Digging the use of the Firebird headstock on this instrument.
Overall, this guitar is a miracle for a lefty in my predicament. Give HB your blessing and you will be impressed.

Totally Awesome, Totally Satisfied
Lefty Patriot 28.12.2021
The guitar's workmanship is comparable to some of my high-end guitars that are about eight times more expensive. Thomann's customer service is also second to none. The guitar arrived in about four days from the time Thomann received the guitar from the manufacturer. I reside in Roseville, CA, USA. It arrived on the morning of December 24, 2021. Thank you Thomann for the excellent customer service and the drop-dead gorgeous guitar. I will be a repeat customer.

GL
An excellent musical instrument
Gabriel L Brito 22.02.2026
I have been playing music for over 23 years, albeit with some hiatus here and there. I am very satisfied with this instrument, I can play it while sitting, be it by placing it on a classical manner or on top of one of my legs. There are only two things that I disliked.
The instrument has 3 knobs, one for tone, and the other two individually control each pickup. To me, that feels very odd, it's very different to the three electrical guitars I've had beforehand.
I feel like the varnish was rushed near the neck of the guitar, around the 20th fret, but it's something that can be overlooked. on the 22nd fret, I feel like the finishing touches weren't properly done, as the coloration of the edge of the fret feels odd - more sanding was necessary, alongside varnish.
Besides the electrical part, these are things that I can solve myself, as I've done some carpentry and worked as a luthier assistant back in 2020.
The sonority of this instrument feels really good and overall, its build feels very satisfactory.
I am very pleased with this purchase.

A rather original "Heavy" or "Unusual Shape" guitar
Leftygaucher 04.05.2018
I like the looks. I think it looks more balanced than Chibson Explorers, with that additional "surface excitement" grafted onto the bottom lower bout.
Nice chunky neck, reminiscent of a vintage baseball Gibson unit.
Cermaic humbuckers are loud and clear with plenty of treble content.
The routing in the electronics cavity was a bit uneven. I had to use extra gaskets to shim one of the pots. The wood was cut a bit thin in that area but I was able to get a satisfactory result.
One day, I'm gonna perform some bluesy artsy folk with this instrument to generate a chuckle or two from my audience.
