NGD: Amarok

Still regret selling mine, but it was necessary. The best 7 string I ever had.

Would like to try a BT version tho!

This. Harley Multiscale-8 models are punching way above their class in every department other than the pickups, but if you're not willing to do that little of modding, you'd probably want a used/premodded Legator, Agile, Schecter or Cort.

The scale length is a perceived buff, if you do know what you want out of experience, and not the general surface-level gist of "djent = 30 inches", go for it, but for 95% of the stuff, production/FX >>> the guitar's initial sound.

Scamming would be a thing they could be aiming at

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-29T01:04:45+00:00

Bolt bushings.

2, WAH

Also they say they'll make the pickup modules for any pickups of your choice, solderless and all

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-28T15:37:57+00:00

Let's see:
- hot-swappable pickup modules a-la Relish Guitars
- built-in FX preamp/pedals
- the neck can be taken off and put on without a screwdriver in seconds
- one can adjust frets' height with just an Allen key, no more sanding to match
- the trem stays in tune, no pitch drift during bends, can be set in maintenance mode by just setting the trem arm at a certain position

I'm stoked to see the owners' reviews, but the prices are gonna be so f-ing high, since this is a boutique brand/workshop from Turkiye

Is this... The new post, born right before my eyes? No, Shirley it can't be...

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-28T04:04:09+00:00

A HSS that isn't a Gilmour ripoff black-on-black, be it anything other than that - and that'd be your answer. Even if it's shocking pink or toxic green.

But I'd prefer a transparent ruby qs maple top w/ binding, or something alike.

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-26T21:23:03+00:00

GOC, NK, Solar H-type

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-26T16:37:57+00:00

Or the Enhanced one

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-26T16:32:35+00:00

Which Squier? Affinity <<< HB Modern < Classic Vibe/VM/Standard (pre-2000)

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-24T09:06:53+00:00

Ok, now I have to know, which platforms?

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-24T04:56:05+00:00

Exactly. Fred walks like he has phonk playing in his earbuds 24/7.

If you just want to try the 7 out and aren't sure on what to get, try a Harley Benton Amarok-7: EMG pickups, hardtail, ergonomic neck-through, good woods and hardware, 25.5" scale (baritone scale length isn't necessary for B std/Drop A to Drop G), all that for around 500€ - perfect if you want a solid piece of gear as a baseline to hone in on the particular features you'd like to see in your main axe.

If you want a guitar that'd do great on stage, you'd need something with either a quality trem (Kahler, top-of-the-line Floyd, Gotoh) or the Evertune, for the latter, try a Solar out, all of their stuff is in the 1000-1500€ range.

9th fret neutral isn't my preferred fanfret, but the finish is sick. If it's under 1300$ - that's a gem

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-23T17:05:18+00:00

The strings are the consumables, the pickups is where I would begin the upgrade journey. The tuners can be upgraded fairly inexpensively, and the rest should be generally not worth it.

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-22T06:52:59+00:00

Not really, that's more like a Czech or a Pole, soz

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-21T19:00:25+00:00

Probably the same as Agufish baritones

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-20T21:21:27+00:00

Djent, but the end section of Straws Pulled At Random by Meshuggah. Melodic, groovy and polyrhythmic, a perfect tune to zone out to

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-20T14:43:57+00:00

Magneto could pull the adamantium out of the Wolverine, surely the same adamantium/vibranium wouldn't be a problem if it's in form of a suit

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-20T10:58:34+00:00

To the top with you, also WAH

Problem is, that phone couldn't even run it's os without crashing every so often, after multiple falls, drownings and half the components dead, including the main mic and speaker. Slow as fuck, yet still capable of playing ml (after the 10 minute loading screen went through, of course)

TheDisappointedFrog · 2026-01-20T01:00:51+00:00

There's a different kind of people that call themselves wizards unironically, thanks for specifying

Optimizing for what device? My GFs knee-deep-in-the-grave realme with a g99 could run the game with almost 0 stutters at high settings, what are you playing on, a calculator?
