Harley Benton EX-84 Modern (Yes the Hetfield inspired one)

[mpexus]

Yes they are "copies" or super inspired ones and yes they are super cheap... I'm tempted!!!!






EMGs, Tusc nuts... 300 or 400 bucks (With EMG's)

That headstock.


It just ruins it, IMO.

[thrashinbatman]

yep. honestly it's so different from the actual MX/84 style that it's basically no different than the EX or Snakebyte. you're still better off getting the Epiphone 84 or holding out for one of the LTD or Grass Roots Explorers. at least then it's the right shape.

Exactly.

300 or 400 bucks

What economy-of-scale exists for this instrument to cost so little? Where are they cutting corners*?






*cost of human labor/time.

No middle man, no Brand royalties all shipping distribution done and last but not least Thomann is a HUGE Customer of whoever are making these. They are made in Indonesia now.

Don't get me wrong, I totally bought a $269 LTD brand new, but the more I make myself aware of the actual costs, I feel more icky about it.

Wow that is giving them away
