Totally Awesome, Totally Satisfied
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.

An excellent musical instrument
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.

Extremely impressed!
I would like to use the ole saying, “ I didn’t have time to write a short letter so I wrote a long one instead” but I’m going to sum this guitar up… It is very well made and exceeded my expectations! My Harley Benton acoustic is also amazing. That’s why I am ordering a classical acoustic and 4 string bass!

Can't be more happy and satisfied!
Greatly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this beautiful guitar. Feels great, looks amazing and sounds impressive. Took some time to have it in my hands, I guess because is a lefty, but definitely was worth the wait!

Left handed Explorer?!
For under $200?!?! Be still my beating heart!
The pickups are OK, bridge pickup sounds very muddy, but for $1600 less than what Gibson is charging us leftys, I'll live with it. Besides, as a mod platform the possibilities are endless with this guitar.
Body work is fantastic as usual for HB, no sharp fret edges or blemishes anywhere.
Overall 100% satisfied

A Lefty Explorer for a Great Price
Left handed explorers are really hard to find, and for an affordable price... even harder!
This is the perfect guitar to live out all your Hetfield dreams, without having to have as much money as him. Build quality is great, smooth fret edges, nice action out the box. The only thing i would suggest is to oil the fret board when it arrives. Standard features, Pups sound good but can always be upgraded if you need more... OOMPH. Really impressed with the set neck and no neck dive.
Price point is unmatched, i would suggest with that in mind getting the Explorer gig bag when you order it.
Thomann/ Harley Benton... if you are reading this. PLEEEEASE make a left handed explorer shaped bass!!!!!! They are impossible to find and there is a hole in the market for anyone supplying them.

Much, much more then I expected!
Right out of the box, it was pretty much set up to play, minus of course having to tune it up, which is normal. The finish was very nice with no defects that i could see, machine heads felt sturdy and smooth, no glitches with the volume and tone pots, three way switch for some reason worked side to side instead of up and down but thats nothing that can't be changed. Might just change the knobs to witch-hats just for looks, but in all it's a great guitar for the price, and the fact it is a LEFTY makes it a real win!

MONEY WELL SPENT
the best SGD$250 spent online on a electric guitar! years ago i didn't have this privilege as a left handed guitarist. i often search for vast choices of guitars and doesn't have to be expensive. i bought this upon coming across this site and mind blown about it's price, watched Youtube reviews and decided to order.
approx received the item after 2 weeks. may vary. i am from Singapore. the guitar isn't perfect but it's damn fun to play and GOOD enough as a starter/project guitar. just minor cosmetic quality error can be seen and doesn't affect play.
overall satisfied with my purchase!
