Hey PZ. Did I say it wasn't? It surely is. I misspoke if I said otherwise. It's a bit wider than my Rick but certainly narrower than my Reverend, Eastwood, Harley Bentons or any of my acoustics. Even Dano is 1 3/4. Thanks for the heads up.
The 2024 NAMM show also helped sell this guitar. Why? Because ENYA WAS SHUNNED. I never heard of this till watching you. Great Demo. Just ordered this($430-). It's my 4th ENYA. I threw one away that had tuning machine problems (the $99 micro sized one) . But Also had problems with their original electric acoustic- so I tore out the electrics insides and use it as an excellent acoustic. But mostly I love it's silver glitter finish. NAMM should give ENYA more respect. ENYA's slogan should be; 'Not happy with your guitar? With ENYA you can afford to own the best out of two'! who else could say that?
What a great comment. I appreciate your honesty and your enthusiasm. I can add to your commentary that they were the nicest people I met at the show. Their poor videographer lost all of his equipment the first day and they could have been down for the count. Then the supply that they brought with them had some electronics issues. They remained classy, generous, supremely nice, and obviously genuine. I can't say enough nice things about them. And I haven't taken a dime from them. I bought one of the four guitars of theirs that I own. I gave one away. I'm giving another one away on June 1. And as soon as I can backfill I am giving the x-3 pro away as well. My review is as unbiased as I can do. Not unbiased but not pushing their product because I'm benefitting. Mark

I saw Roger McGuinn play live a few years back and he claimed that George Harrison's use of the 330-12 Rickenbacker on Hard Day's Night blew him away, and was his motivation for getting up a Rickenbacker 12-string himself. The rest is history.
it doesn't matter how much a guitar cost !! they all have a different sound and if it feels good in your hands and sounds good to you !!! cost is just a matter of what you can afford !!! buy a guitar because it feels good to you not because of the name !!!!!!
Well I knew 2 out of your 5 . But you missed out Ging gang gooley the most popular song in the world, sang by every genaration of boy scout , cub, girl guide and ranger ,rowing club sailing club, school childrens days out and motorcycle club since they were founded .
I have no idea what you guys talking about My Sparky have no bass at all..i both it used for 199$ on Reverb i have try to send it back ..the only reason i both it because all of you saying about it;s bassy sound ..well NOT MINE..
Very Nice Mark, I am subscribed to your channel now, looking forward to another give-away competition. Hope I can win it from India :) with all the shipping charges from my end.
Hello, Mark. Too late for the live chat - we cant seem to do arithmetic in the PAC NW. Too many things on fire, if you get my smoke drift. You replied to an email back in February, saying that somehow said email slipped through the cracks, and you proceeded to hook me up with over 30 tabs. I still, to this day and the rest of them, appreciate that kind gesture. Oh, BTW, I'm in the market for a 12 - string, as 8 - minute axe was the final shove I needed to prioritize it. Best of the best to you, sir! I'll let you know what fruits the search bears.
Very good and fair revue, Not having the 1,000 to 2,000 to spend on the name brand guitars I tend to go with the bargain brands and some of them will actually be great guitars
Thank you for addressing some of the BS that is out there. I've never played, nor have I heard of, Fesley Guitars, but someone saying they've played $6K guitars and $100 guitars must work at a music store, or is a guitar teacher and sometimes handles his/her student's guitars. That person should say that. Great video as usual! Tremendous channel!
I have worked on many cheap guitars fro friends and for kids, making them playable when they were not. If that demo is right out of the box as far as play-ability and sound, that is fantastic!
Mark, the guy who said he owns a $6k guitar and a $200 one, I'd conclude he bought the cheaper one first, not the other way around. Just sayin'. Also, lesson learned, everyone: If you need to boost your confidence level, just get a screwdriver to hold onto. ;-) Seriously, Mark, that was a solid review in a very reasonably short time. Packed a lotta wisdom into a small space! Fred
Thank you I have had the same thought in what world would a person who has. 6k guitar buy a $200. guitar? or even care. I appreciate the honest and to the point review. As I come across someone looking for a first electric to try it out I will remember the Fesley vs a used Squire.
