The red binding on the white finish makes it look like the classic Mach 5 from Speed Racer! Maybe you can swap out the control knobs with little letter ones to match the gadget buttons on the Mach 5 steering wheel!

@Venthorn 11 месяцев назад

Max, one small suggestion when you're demoing the guitars. Could you discuss the balance (neck or body heavy) briefly? It's surprisingly difficult to find information about this. For example love my Harley Benton Fusion 3, but the one problem it has is it's insanely neck heavy, basically requires a strap for me to play with it. I don't see that sort of information on any of the usual reviews. It would be really helpful to know for these guitars!

Thanks for your channel and real reviews. Bought my first, red 338, bout 4 or 5 years ago after seeing it on your channel. Now own 6 and no complaints. Changed out the pickups on the 338, microphonic, and put high outputs on my SG. No issues w finish, frets... I've filed a few but no biggie. I love the necks on the Gibson copies particularly the SG and LP double cutaway. I'd like to get their Firebird but I been too slow. But thanks for all your work, really enjoy the channel.

I once had 7 inexpensive guitars and thought “this Max knows the gig!” Now I have 26 guitars and it’s motivated me to become a better player. I’ve only missed playing 2 days in the last 6 years. Thanks for the inspiration and great content.

As a metalhead, I've never been into semi hollows. Well, one of my customers gave me a sunburst Alvarez 335 style. It's a beautiful, great playing guitar. It's got the dog ear p90's, which is also new to me. I absolutely love it. So I've been looking for a good semi hollow for a mod project. I want one that can do rockabilly and breathe fire. Max makes me want anything he plays, so maybe I'll check one of these out. I dig the white and red scheme here too. Thanks Max for another helpful video. 🤘

@garyhill2740 4 месяца назад

I first noted the neck volute on higher end Japanese guitars from the late 70's and 80's. Over the years I have observed that one rarely hears about headstock breaks on those Japanese classic guitars with that feature. Nor on others like Korean made guitars that have them like early 2000's Schecter's. You hear quite a bit about the Gibson "boat oar" headstocks snapping. So there may be something to it. PS-Many of the (hated by guitar cork sniffers) Norlin era Gibson guitars often DID have a volute, and you don't hear as much about THEM breaking.

Thanks for another great video, but tempting me with another 338 when I'm currently holding out for possibly getting the FFHB model, is just cruel. The FFHB models they currently offer have some weird finishes so if they improve on that aspect, like maybe a sunburst or spalted maple, I may pull the trigger. But I'd love to get your opinion on the FFHB. I'm getting more into rockabilly these days and a hollow body might be the way to go. I hope you get one and do a demo of it.
