A buyer's guide to heavy guitars for beginners and advanced players

"Heavy" guitars are designed to deliver the looks and the sound required for harder musical genres like Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Thomann has an immense range of heavy guitars from a long list of brands and in every conceivable finish and configuration. Many heavy-style guitars take their design cues from the Gibson Explorer and Gibson Flying V alongside other unusual body shapes, and many also feature at least partially active humbucker pickups, which makes them perfect for heavily overdriven or distorted guitar sounds.

Our buyer's guide explains which heavy guitars are most suitable for beginners and advanced players, how they differ from each other, and what to look out for when choosing one. Thomann's GuitarLab online tool also provides assistance when searching for the perfect electric guitar, and Thomann's online guide to electric guitars provides detailed answers to all of the questions that come up when purchasing an instrument. What is more, Thomann's guitar department will be happy to help you with any questions you might have. You can contact them by telephone on +49 (0)9546-9223-20, by e-mail at gitarre@thomann.de, and of course via the chat function on Thomann's homepage. And because purchasing a musical instrument is always a matter of trust, Thomann offers a 30-Day Money-Back Guar­an­tee to ensure a stress-free, no-risk customer experience. What is more, Thomann also offers a 3-year warranty to make sure that its customers can enjoy their instrument for years to come.

What heavy guitars are available?

Heavy guitars are available starting at around 150 euros, including models in the style of the Gibson Explorer (like the Harley Benton Extreme-76 BK Classic Series) and the Gibson Flying V (like the Harley Benton FV-430 BK Classic Series) with a basswood body and maple neck. Somewhat more modern in design and built from mahogany on the other hand are the James Hetfield signature models from ESP LTD (the ESP LTD Vulture and ESP LTD Snakebyte), which both feature active humbuckers and retail at around 1,500 euros. Players looking to take home a real USA-made Gibson Explorer or Gibson Flying V (like the Gibson 70s Explorer or Gibson 70s Flying V) will have to add roughly 2000 euros more to their budget. The mid-price segment in turn includes models from brands like Jackson (e.g. the Jackson RRX24) and Solar Guitars (e.g. the Solar Guitars A2.6 C G2), and Thomann also has a model of its own with active pickups for players on a budget (the Harley Benton Extreme-84).
