HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT This Guitar?? - Bootlegger Royal

Lol. The binding is one of my favorite things. The finish is great. The neck......eh.

Edit - This guitar has a EVH Wolfgang on steroids vibe.

Like the guitar over all. Headstock is great with straight pulls on the strings but kinda wasted since it has a locking nut. Bridge and neck pickup sounded great. Middle pickup however sounded thin and nasal and muddy. Nice review max 🎸👍

For that kind of money, it should have at least an actual Floyd Rose, like probably the 1000 series.

GMx, don't let this monoprice Helix @ $152 slip by. As GOD has told me often, Some things you'll thank me later for.

Love the Hendrix touch...

I think that you may have sold me on the Schecter Explorer E1 FR S special with the quilted purple burst, ebony frets sustainianic neck pickup and the Apocalypse 1V bridge pickup.
Floyd Rose double locking tremolo, thin C with the ultra access neck heel. Or the
Wolf WLP 2020 RED BURST LES PAUL for the money.
Either way Max at least you narrowed down to at least two guitars that I have to pick from!
Although kudos to you brother for making anything that you do play, sound great!

Not bad Max, but you still smell like cabbage. . . 🥬

The middle humbuckers very very weak in my opinion!

For that price, just get a Korean Schecter or Mexican Charvel Pro Mod Series.
Waaaaay better specs and they come with a headstock that actually fits a Superstrat aesthetically.

They make pretty affordable pedals too

Man that is one beautiful guitar.

Hey, great review, any chance of doing a review on a EVH Wolfgang Special? I'm seriously thinking about getting one.

It needs an ebony board...im sorry but i really dont like the rose wood look...never have

My Schecter has 3 side by side with a strat or dinky style body, I have another guitar an Eart guitar that has 3 side by side though its not quite as traditional looking of a headstock but the body is a RG style body, I'm fine with it. But the binding is way too big looking.

I hope its better than the WOLF guitar that u reviewed and said was so good.

licensed floyd. stay away from that lol. kinda weird since they produce in korea and could easily get 1000 series on it if they wanted.

sick intro playing

Have a question. I recently purchased a Royal Blue. When the pickup selector is in the mid position (I believe this engages all 3 pickups), the tone pot doesn't make any difference in the up or down position. The tone pot works for the other 4 positions. Anyone else have this issue and if so what do you think is the issue and the fix?

Sounds good never saw this brand before today! Wouldn't mind trying one out before I bought it though. As far as the head stock goes I was never a big fan of that style on a super strat but it wouldn't be a factor in buying it. I do love the blade pup in the middle, I have swapped out all my single coils to single coil size humbuckers in my guitars that came with single coils.

How is the fret work ?

Nice looking, nice sounding guitar. Not much out there about them. Read a couple of reviews about fret issues. Very uneven frets. Reviewer deemed it almost unplayable. Thoughts?

Is there any clearance to raise the middle P-up, to bring its output up to be more in line with the N & B ones??

Very cool looking guitar looks great to me. Only thing is I only wish I could afford a guitar like that.

Cool video Max! I wish I had your job and could try out guitars and give my opinion on them, I just wanna shred all day and pay my bills that’s paradise! I like the guitar but I feel it’s not as “original” as you may have mentioned. Schecter has been doing these 3 a side headstock, super Strat guitars with flame top and Floyd Rose for a long time. I used to own a Schecter Banshee Extreme that looked exactly the same as this other than the wood carve binding. It’s kind of funny because you even mentioned Schecter earlier in the video and then immediately after said you like how this guitar seems to be doing it’s own thing unlike most other new guitars you come across now days. I understand it isn’t easy nowadays to try to create new and unique guitar designs that will also appeal to a lot of players while not infringing on another company’s trademarks and designs. Love your videos man! Oh hey if you ever want to donate an electric guitar to someone who loves to Rock and can’t afford a guitar please hit me up!

Nice looking guitar.

Nice guitar but looks like it weighs a ton

Guitar look good and pickups are set really good. However, you you've not mentioned fret size, rounded edges and string gauge. Yet is it pre set already out of box, or it needs any additional set ups?? I do understand that everybody have actions/theirs strings height but what is it out of box?? Thanks!!

Beautiful intro Max.

i like the guitar, the headstock works its narrow ,it looks good .yep thats a fine looking guitar,Oh Max thanks again for turning me on to wolf and a.i.o. still play them alot You should check out Agile 3100 LP styles

Are Southpaws catered for?

Great head stock great look. You play so well everything sounds good so your comments are critical. I have vintage American and modern Chinese an Korean. Bootlegger very tempting. Thanks

Great looking and great playing guitar .

To me looks like a cheap design, sorry. One of those guitars that just by seeing them gives you the impression that is cheap and not well finished.

Sounds great and looks good. I like the head stock. I like the look of the whole guitar. You can tell they put some effort into all of the design instead of just one specific area. 👍🤙

That's a really pretty guitar, and the headstock as well, at least on camera.
I like that it's a straight pull on the strings, not a gibson style wonky pull, but it really doesn't matter since it has a locking nut.
If that floyd rose is of good quality, this is probably a great guitar!.

The clean sound isn’t great. Perhaps it’s the modelling amp.

Great review! I have a bootlegger guitar and the thing is a BEAST! Chuck is an awesome guy. Thanks again!

I like this guitar. A PRS would be 3 times more money and Carlos already did that; I’d rather be original. The middle thin-dual-coil and tone options from the electronics are slick. It has a great overall sound.

I was beginning to think I might be the only person to own one of these lol.

Exactly what Godin was doing with the Artisan ST 20-25 years ago 🤫💯

Beautiful guitar! Way out of my price range though. Sounds amazing !🙏🏻

Great stuff Max!! Is that a Washburn HM 20 on the wall I see?

Wow, I like it. Compares nicely with ESP and Schecter in this price class without trying so much to copy their looks. Their headless model is very nice too.

I'm beginning to notice a lot of guitars look smaller on this channel, maybe it's that right arm

Looks very similar to my Schecter Omen Extreme. Looks and plays like it's a solid unit, wouldn't mind checking one out 😁

Seems to be a great guitar really and actually different from others with a great variety of configuration and sounds...really interesting...well done Max...you always show us interesting things and beautiful guitars 👍👍👍

All that instrument needs is Jeff Beck's fingers it a Beautiful guitar.

Since you mentioned the headstock, I own a Carvin AE-185 thinline electric which like a Tele thinline but with a 3-on-a-side headstock. Unconventionsl, yes, but I love it that way!
