Actually I got the acoustic one first and I was so impressed with it that I got this baby without hesitation. My PRS, Strat, Tele, Ibanez are in their cases as well.
I imagine it has quite a thick guitar tone for being so light is because wood can have air pockets which may lead to it sounding less thick depending on the wood. Since this guitar is made from carbon fibre is does not have air pockets I would assume. This is just me guessing from the surface level information I know.
I have had so many arguments with guitar purists over tone wood. It makes a difference in acoustic tones only and they insist otherwise. Id happily have that guitar in my collection.
I don't think it matters, unless it matters to you. Like for example, if you really want some beautiful flamed maple top, then yeah.. it matters. But if you want mahogany because tone, probably not so much.
@@TaylorDanley I have 2 strats, one made of ash and another made out of basswood. With my amp set up, they sound pretty much the same so I agree with you.
I think it makes a difference in sustain, you can hear it when you switch guitars. I think it actually makes the palm mutes sound better but when you hit the open chord it sounds kinda thin like it fades out quik
I've had mine now for about 4 months. And I love it , I have The black one. I did change the tuner's to D'Addario locking trim tuner machines which are very awesome. This guitar is just perfect and even playing without an amp or even turned off it plays good like an acoustic. It resonates very well.
Cool man, sounds interesting! This VHT is cool! I've been using a carbon fiber pick, jazz III dunlop maxgrip, I'll definitely try one of those guitars!
Great review. The only thing for me that I would expect from a Smart Guitar is the midi option it would be great that this guitar had incorporated I guess is just matter of time the will have the option. Now since you are a guitar guru can you point me into the right direction of what are the top 5 midi/electric guitars?
I would totally be into this thing if it didn't have the built in amp and effects. I get why they're there but that's just personal preference. It would be cool if they did a version without that stuff and just the standard pickups. It would definitely be a cool budget gigging guitar if it was more stripped down and if I wanted effects on the go I'd just use any of the new pocket sized modellers like the Mooer prime p2
Seems like a cool guitar to play on stage sice is 6 pounds it's no issue to jump around and go full mike smith with it. The tone is awesome too.. I would love to get my hands one one. Taken how i dont stand still playing. XD
That was one of my concerns but I have seen another youtuber remove the backplate and the battery is very easily accessible. Just disconnect the connector, take the old one out, throw the new one in and screw the back plate back in place. Seems like it doesn't require a lot of skill or knowledge to pull it off.
Are the pickups part of the active circuit or do you still get output with a dead battery? Theoretically the guitar itself is going to far outlast the battery's ability to hold a charge, and who knows what sourcing a replacement will be like when that happens
I just did one, the only issue is it takes way too long to process them. I just don't have the time to invest a whole day into making 5-10 tone models.
It's probably not really carbon fibre which is why it's cheap. The other cheap carbon fibre guitars on the market are basically a plastic and they're fake. Carbon fibre is not cheap or easy to produce. So I am highly doubting it is actually carbon fibre.
I think when chinas behind it with slave labor it can be cheap. It’s not actually cheap anywhere else. Also we arbitrarily make things expensive in America. I order all my son’s prescription drugs from Canada. Doing that saves us 100s. Some industry person inflated the price. Go to other countries and you can get materials that are expensive here for literally 50% or more off the purchase price in the west.
CADÊ os sommeliers de pau!? Pra falar que madeira é essa... Kkkkk tem que ser muito trouxa pra pagar mais caro por causa de madeira que não muda som nenhum!
Hi , ahh never and one more time never for that kind of technology , That sound is fuuuuu.... I love your videos but I believe that non of serious guitarist will buy this type of guitar haha
Nah, fam. Played that weird Nova Go, I highly doubt that their design language allows them to make a guitar that is genuinely good. I might change my mind if I get to try a Sonic, but I'mma plaster BS on this one. Also, extremely doubtful that the instrument is actually carbon fiber. It would have a much, much higher pricepoint. For the price of the guitar, you'd be lucky to pay for the resin you'd be using to construct it, much less the weave.
HORRIBLE MULTIEFFECTS SOUND AND EXTREME FEEDBACK ISSUES WHEN USING ANY DISTORTION, GREAT BODY/NECK THOUGH, 10 WATTS MY ASS, 1/2 WATT RMS! I'M RETURNING IT BECAUSE SOUND SUCKS
I need one. If i can sit on my couch and play with headphones whenever i want and not need to drag an amp out. That's worth $400. New guitar with new perks. That's a win for me.
😊 there is a way for less money with your current guitar. a litle devise that comes packed with presets that can be eddited or, you go Tonocracy : if you have a small laptop or notebook or ibook or what is that applething called, you do not need this guitar ut only your notebook and tonocracy ( free to download ). Now it has a whole lot of presets and you can also make your own within the vst which can run as a stand alone aswell. I use this vst all time with my Guitar.
taylor so glad you chucked this guitar through an amp, most people just review it with the speaker built in, ive been waiting for someone to chuck it into a decent tube head... great man taylor thank you lol!
1. GET RID OF THE SPEAKER AND OR ELECTRONICS 2. PUT IN GOOD PICKUPS 3. STAINLESS STEEL FRETS 4. LOCKING TUNERS 5. PRICE AT $499 6. SELL LIKE HOT CAKES My work is done here.
I agree with the speaker, it's a weird choice to me but I think that's their brand model based off the acoustics they make. I thought the pickups were pretty good though.
@@ancientalien815 just got one; the pick ups are actually pretty good, concerning the speaker just don’t use it. Also, you can plug guitar directly into your computer with an USB cable and record a background track or loop.
I picked this guitar 2 weeks ago and I CANNOT put it down. I have owned Les Paul's, Yamaha's, Fender's, and some others (even a Vantage) and this guitar stands shoulder to shoulder with them all when it comes to comfort, sound, quality, and just how much fun it is to play. The price is ridiculous and no dount Enya is losing money on their end to bring all of this to us and gain that sweet sweet marketing. If you are on the fence, just buy it, before Enya is a household name and they decide not to lose money on this guitar any more. I have used the drum machine in the app to play along with, streamed Spotify to my guitar to play with a song, and have had so much fun playing with all the amp and effects. You can look for a negative review, but I promise that you will have to dive into an ocean of positive reviews first.
Aw man if they only placed the speaker, I don't know, maybe on top, so it doesn't ruing the looks and also points where it should, at your face, I would instantly buy this.
You're a lucky guy. Brazilian people needs to pay more than 10 times of this price. R$ 4.000,00. Just to understand better, the basic salary here is R$ 1.450,00. For explain better than this, this salary don't pay the basic necessities.
I really appreciate that. I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I just want to be ethical as possible. I was considering doing something like a follow up series where I give my updated opinions, but I'm still not sure how I'm going to do it yet.
Carbon fiber or built in multieffects? I agree on carbon fiber or some other composite materials. You're already seeing that with richlite, etc. Idk about the built in effects and speaker catching on.
@@TaylorDanley I guess it was about carbon fiber. Way less worry, especially for tours on different hemispheres, which cause massive temperature changes that affect the guitar
I imagine it's actually plastic. Gonna take someone cutting one apart to find out. Or perhaps you could remove the neck and get a glimpse from sanding the neck joint a bit.
IDK man maybe it's just the effects settings but it doesn't sound that thick to me. Kind of tinny sounding. Especially noticeable when letting a chord ring out; the musical resonance simply isn't there. The musical dynamic of letting a 6 string chord ring out says a lot about the guitar.
What I don't understand is they make a carbon fiber guitar without putting any thought into the guitar part itself. Simple things can be done like 24 frets instead of 22. Is it designed for easy upper fret access? Doesn't look like it. Locking tuners? Why not? I'd rather have locking tuners than that cheap ass speaker next to the pickups. You don't need that speaker. Hire someone like Rusty Cooley to design a guitar and then make it carbon fiber. You'll get a great playing guitar instead of some gimmicky piece of junk and still be able to do it at a decent price. You'll sell a lot more of them.......
tell me why I have to pay at least twice for pedals and an amplifier? if I don't play often. and I'm not comfortable playing on a long neck with 24 frets.
