I find it so intriguing that the first three riffs you played were the first three I normally play when messing with a new guitar! You sold me on this axe. Great demo.
@@megahurtz30 That's great! pretty unusual for an explorer. My jackson Kelly has very bad neckdive. The headstock would hit the floor if i was a little shorter.
@@aldilasagne293 yeah... I'd say below 500 bucks or so, it's likely an explorer or V shaped guitar, might have neckdive, not always, but likely. When you reach price levels like the Snakebyte, it's expected to not exist any neckdive.
I own the camo one and love the sound but when standing up it leans forward I'm pretty much staring at the back of the neck...I could keep it back but it's exhausting after a few . Any tips? Is there a specific type of strap I need?
There is a tendency to lean forward, but only if i myself lean forward as well, maybe it's worse in the camo?? Have you tried those simple rubber Ernie Ball strap blocks? I use them just to sort of lock the strap and prevent it from coming off, but it might help with that... maybe...
@@Tatted-ne7tu I also have a Solar E (explorer), it allows the hand to go to the 22nd fret. If you go for those, i'd advise getting one of the better ones (E1.6 series), instead of the E2.6
@@megahurtz30 Thanks for the heads up, I watch Ola's stuff but for some reason I didnt even think of Solar. I guess just like the Snakebyte for some reason. It's between the Snakebyte and the Phoenix 1000
@@Tatted-ne7tu no I've only had an issue with the stock roller bridge wearing out so I replaced it with a Gotoh Bridge and it's fine now . The edges became sharp so the strings were breaking too often too soon
Thx for the demonstration. No bullshit talk. Great demos on sound, sustain etc and great visuals of the guitar. Love it. ❤. And great playing, too. Even learned something about the clean part of MoP. Need to learn to use index finger for the trill instead the pinky 😅.
You mean the fact that i downpick these clean arpegios? It's how i feel most confortable playing them. I should get better technique at those for sure, but i guess i concentrate too much on playing distortion riffs instead
That last one, isn't just Amplitube 4, it has an impulse response to sound like the AJFA album, but check the one in this video instead, it's 100% Amplitube 4. Link in the description: ua-cam.com/video/t4m_SqsW92I/v-deo.html

@@mahmutesatarslan6550 to be honest, a lot of Indonesian manufacture, from my experience, is not inferior to Korean. Some Korean models of guitars, just have better specs, but in terms of actual finish and work, Indonesian can even be better sometimes. I think it also depends on the times, maybe nowadays things are not as good as they used to be regardless of the country...
I ve seen some snakebites and iron crosses on reverb, made in Indonesia , as far as I know nowadays most of ltd production, including high-end ones like 1000s and signature series, have been moved to Indonesia...it's even hard to find ,1000 series made in Korea after 2020
@@megahurtz30 everything !! It’s way better guitar … I don’t know I want to sell it .. it doesn’t play very well.. and the quality of those two in the truckster is way way more good .. maybe is also that the snakebyte has the het set .. in truckster I have the 81-60 .. what do you think about the het set ? (Also mine is from the first one of 2011 with sperzel locking tuners) and it came with emg 81-60
@@ArisAris-ku7np The Het Set is more agressive sounding, it has more bite, the 81-60 is maybe a little more subtle, more classic Metallica sounding i guess. You sort of have to dial it a different way in the amp/pedals/etc to sound the way you like it, perhaps. With some tones, i really like them, with others i sort of prefer the 81-60
I find it so intriguing that the first three riffs you played were the first three I normally play when messing with a new guitar! You sold me on this axe. Great demo.
Thank you! :)
I just purchased a lefty. I'm impressed with the clean tones even though many reviews say this guitar is metal only
I really like this guitar and saving for one. Be one of my last ones but a good way to be the last.
nice test sounds awesome
Thanks! :)
4kg?! That's a full 1kg (33%) more than my EX-400 🥵
Clean tone: *plays the day that never comes
Thank you so much for the video. Like !!
:)
Thanks for the link man. Amazing Gothic Jewellery ❤❤❤❤😅.
Great purchase man!
thanks! It was one of my dream guitars :)
That Marshall make that distortion noise or is a pedal? Thanks!
The Marshall part is just the amp, no pedals
Is this a standard tuning guitar? Is there a floyd rose tuning system in this guitar?
It comes in standard tuning. There is no floyd system in the Snakebyte models, as far as i know
Thanks for this review. I am thinking of getting one of these. How does it feel playing while sitting down?
Feels normal, no problems

Found someone in my country WHO’s Selling it for 800€ but cant afford it. I mad and sad now
If the guitar is in good condition, that would be a great price, yeah
Can anyone answer how is the upper fret access?
it's normal for these sort of guitars. you can play the low E on the 22nd fret with your second finger, the hand itself stops at the 20th fret.
@@megahurtz30 Thank you much, I really dig the Bytes looks and appointments but I am worried about access to the good stuff.

1300 euro

pretty good right out of the box, i could lower a bit and still no noticeable buzzing
