Thanks for the review/unboxing! That was interesting to notice the effects didn’t register visually but they were actually present - had no idea about that discrepancy. Fun fact: it’s possible to get the guitar under $300 if purchased on a Prime Day, like the recent 2-day window. Seems consistent enough based on its Amazon reviews. Thanks again for the review!
Thanks! Yeah, I was supposed to have the guitar 2 weeks before prime day and something apparently happened in shipping where a replacement had to be sent. So I literally filmed this on Prime Day and had to take my screenshots the day after during the final stages of editing. As an Amazon Affiliate myself, I was pretty bummed that I missed the opportunity since this is how I get paid (which is, at the most, 1/1000th of the minimum wage). I wasn’t aware of the effects discrepancy either (obviously). In editing, I thought it was kind of funny that I was unaware, yet everything captured. That wah effect at the end was horrid, and I didn’t get to really react to it. Oh well. But thanks for commenting!
Hi Kris. You can send that Enya over to me if you get tired of it. 😁 I like the body shape on this one a lot more than the full size model that came out during covid. This one's actually shaped more like a traditional guitar. Their LP-shaped electric is interesting too and evidently these guitars are real instruments and not toys. Thanks man, good review!
Ha! Thanks Mark! I do love this one. Mark Ranalli over at 8 Minute Axe turned me onto these, which first piqued my curiosity a bit. Now I’ve got this one and I can’t stop playing it. 😂 I do want to try their latest Nova Go Sonic (LP shape). I saw them at NAMM, but usually shy away from all-in-one electrics having had prior experience with things like the Cort Effector. But now everyone is telling me how incredible they are. So here’s hoping I get one soon. 🤞
For 349$ you should not have ANY major set up issues. No excuse for that, for multiple reasons. Add at least 80$-150$ if you need post set up. .. the guy says "everything's good"... after talking about the shyte set up. no, it isn't "good". not a pro review..more just yapping.
For starters, my condolences for whoever hurt you that now causes you to lash out at complete strangers. It’s unfortunate for all who take on the choice of conversing with you. Second, at no point in the video did I throw it on my bench to take measurements, for various reasons. I just went with a somewhat standard unboxing formula. But if you would have just asked vs attacked, I might tell you the low E is at 1.9mm off the 12th fret and 1.7mm off the high E. It wasn’t as bad as my optics led me to believe. Still high, but about as high as my Taylor’s were when I got them. Second, I’ve been playing it a lot since filming, almost non stop. It’s not required a major retune since I tuned up for the video shoot and still sounds awesome. It’s in good shape and I’ve still no issues. Thanks for commenting, and watch out for your knuckles. I’d hate to learn that you tripped over them at some point.
There are players who like it high and there are players who prefer it low - and since it is easier to lower the bridge -- nut the manufacturers market the guitars a little higher.
