Sorry, I still like that one too, actually, this new guitar sort of gives me a more interesting relationship with the strandberg, oddly enough... I'm just slowly starting to get the idea that sigh, you really can't do everything on one guitar, you really need a bunch for different purposes.... But that's okay I guess, makes logistics more difficult
As I've retired from live gigging this would be perfect for at home noodling and the onboard useable effects means no fiddling with interfaces and plugins thus I could noodle without being evicted as I love in a house that has been converted into three dwellings...although the upstairs folk ARE now listening to you (wonderfully) demonstrate this guitar at 8am on a Monday morning, oh well, their gain!
LOL, it's basically just a USB cable now with this thing, LOL. ... But I still like my other stuff too, LOL. This is just as easy as grabbing an acoustic and taking off though.... Which has an amazing appeal
That has a really great sound. Nothing like the sound of humbuckers with high gain. This would be great for people who like to work the stage without being limited by a patch cord.
Pretty much just built it from the ground up, although there's not a ton of options... It's like one clean amp one distortion amp... But there is a graphic equalizer on top of that... The controls on both kind of work like two vamps with the preamp before the master volume etc ... Then some other effects.... Oh yeah and the noise production system too.
Thank you for sharing your review of this one. The onboard electronic part is intriguing. (could not find detailed specs online) ...ideally, this plus : -headless format, with 'headless style' bodyshape ('strandberg' cut on bottom part and small form factor/overall small length of the instument) -enough processing power for embedded (software) midi conversion. (fingers crossed someone at Enya reads this) I'm curious about the neck stability overtime, which is one of the desirable characteristics expected here. (a possibility with the neck's internal structure and possible reinforcements)... Surely someone will create this kind of thing, portable, stable and 'autonomous' but this one is already a bargain possibly. PS: and great guitar playing as usual. (I'll need to watch the video multiple times to grab some ideas/concepts)
good points, Jean. Enya , which seems like nice design , carbon fiber/wood is something Ned Steinberer was experimenting with the Synapse series. the othe Smart Guitar brand out there is the Mooer.The good thing about the mooer is the multi effects controller remembers your settings so you don't need the phone app, where as with their Smart Amp competitor, Spark , the app has to be on. The brain in the multi effects has no programmable memory, like the Mooer does. Mooer is starting to make a better footswich for their newer products , yet it is not backwards compatible with the older P1 P1 or iAmp or Smart Guitar they have , which has a small easy to knock over f/s. incidentally the Mooer Smart Guitar has no speaker like the Enya
You sound great, and your lines are awesome here. I doubt you would like this shape on a long run. It is not ergonomic. At all. The neck looks cool though with those jumbo (?) frets. What is the fretboard width at nut?
It kind of has similar vibes as one of my previous telecasters.... Oddly enough. It's kind of a chunky neck to play, which is actually kind of good... I like having some variation... I don't know specifics, seems about the same as anything else... It's like having an electric guitar version of an acoustic.... Excluding acoustic electrics. It's like the electronic version of a semi hollow body, in many ways...
@@TorySlusher I find chunky necks better for everything than an Ibanez wizard - and they have no sound without serious high gains. We ll see in your next videos which guitars you use this year on :) Have a happy new year!
At the very least, it's got the strongest headstock of any Les Paul ever made thanks to the Carbon Fibre. So long as it feels good in the hands, the electronics can always be swapped around, if need be.
Yeah, it is nice to play... No no, I wouldn't really change anything, I've made some suggestions to the company with regards to the software, that would be about it... Maybe a simple little compressor and or more equalization options etc, it's pretty great as is though...
Hey, I checked Enya's website and there's no setting on it to immediately play just like Tory. Seems like a missed opportunity. Maybe in an update, In-app skills purchases.
i wonder what Foot Switch this guitar multi effect uses? that is the thing about Mooer that is frustrating some of the stuff has a small fs some of it has a big ' Air fs" the small one is easy to knock over if you dont strap it to something
There is no anything else, everything is on the guitar or in the guitar, I recorded this whole thing with one USB cable into the computer and that's it, no software anything....
It's like alinco 2 and alinco 5, I don't know which is which, maybe the bridge is 2? Whichever one of them is supposed to be hotter, that's probably the one that's the bridge, number wise
@@TorySlusherI do. Also they use a fret wire that is fairly soft. Enya sent me a second one for free, and that one also showed started divoting pretty quickly. But they are great otherwise… I take one with me on road trips and the other one site in my office for lunch time practice. If they use SS it would be a huge upgrade! I was wondering about the dots on yours then you mentioned you applied stickers. :)
I'm very much into the idea of having some kind of split the difference scenario, like a slightly smaller semi-hollow 335, but headless with carbon fiber reinforcement in the neck etc maybe some amazing pickups and electronics options... Same thing with the telecaster...
@@TorySlusher Strandberg Jazz? The Steinberger GL is probably a dream for your RHT, wonderful for cleans and chords! But for me it was wobbly and shakey on my body with fast picking, trembling. Trying to keep it stable was bad and it was also kinda icepicky static tone, lacking low mid body. But that was in my personal stone age, no syncopation [sshheeeiiiiit] ! Maybe different if i try it again.
@@TorySlusher Donner made a pretty nice DO series guitar years back. (pretty wild for the price) asymmetric laminated neck, phenolic fretboard, solid spruce top, no pickup. Sadly, only tradition is rewarded by guitarists. Also you may have misspoke, 99% sure Enya is not a neck through, it's a set neck.
*note - all of the sounds in this video are coming from the onboard electronics in the guitar itself....The isolated sound and tone demos start @16:10

Tori, you are amazing! What a great style 😀
You Tory are the musicologist of the moment with a beautiful guitar🍁
great playing as always, and that fringe cut looks fire
Very helpful review! Great job of adapting it to your style!
Great sounds. I could listen to you play all day.
Very interesting. Guitars are gradually evolving. I love the fluidity of your playing Tory. Please keep going!
Any guitar you play sounds amazing 👌
Enya needs to hire you to do demo's of this guitar. You sold me!
Well I guess inadvertently they already have to some degree....
Nice 🎸
Love your tone on this one.
Beautiful guitar 🎸
Nice demo! I have been interested in the Enya guitars for the past few months. Can’t decide if I would make good use of one or not.
Hey Tory - Sounds great, as always. If you're done with that old tired .strandberg* leaning on the wall you can send it my way in San Francisco.

Cool! Sunday morning ,coffee on! Here go! Sounding good! ;-)!
I'm sold. I would like to get one for a little guy who wants to learn how to play. He could have that guitar for his entire life.
Nice!
Cool rig!

That has a really great sound. Nothing like the sound of humbuckers with high gain. This would be great for people who like to work the stage without being limited by a patch cord.
whoa so it comes with built in reverb and distortion? sweet
oh and there's a built-in speaker??
Thanks for the excellent demo! Did you build the sounds from scratch or did it come with factory presets that you tweaked?
Pretty much just built it from the ground up, although there's not a ton of options... It's like one clean amp one distortion amp... But there is a graphic equalizer on top of that...

I really wanna make a sarcastic “well if it’s so smart, why is it ________” joke but it’s too nice 🥰
I usually don't go for the hypes, but in this case it really is kind of a smart thing
I like it. I'm a fan of carbon fiber acoustics. Your hair looks very nice btw!
Thanks, yeah, I really like the carbon fiber as a Guitar building material...
That was amazing😮
Alakazam! 🐇
Got an Alexis X-Guitar many years ago, which also had build-in effects.
Unfortunately it's not on the market any more.

i wonder what Foot Switch this guitar multi effect uses?
that is the thing about Mooer that is frustrating some of the stuff has a small fs some of it has a big ' Air fs"
the small one is easy to knock over if you dont strap it to something
There is no anything else, everything is on the guitar or in the guitar, I recorded this whole thing with one USB cable into the computer and that's it, no software anything....
@TorySlusher ok, that's cool
Is that like a zero fret, how's the intonation?
Yeah it has a zero fret. The intonation was perfectly set up when I got it....
that axe def has the orinoco flow.....joking aside the headstock font made me google "is enya making guitars now" 😄
Hey, her music is kind of Boss though... Because that vibe
@ i agree
what enya as in the irish singer?
No, I don't think so
One of best acoustics have played is the all carbon fiber Rainsong Black Ice BI-WS1000N2
Yeah
Nice new axe!
I tried searching for the pickup make and models but couldn't find a thing on 'em. Are you able t o shed some light? :D
It's like alinco 2 and alinco 5, I don't know which is which, maybe the bridge is 2? Whichever one of them is supposed to be hotter, that's probably the one that's the bridge, number wise
The zero fret on mine is already showing some wear… otherwise I really like mine.
Do you bend a lot?
@@TorySlusherI do. Also they use a fret wire that is fairly soft. Enya sent me a second one for free, and that one also showed started divoting pretty quickly.

I had a Steinberger GL, it was the best and the worst guitar ever!

Who wants a Submarine hexaphonic pickup for their guitar??😅
These are just regular buckers
@ I want six outs w/o going guitar synthesis. Envision placement with timbre, filters/eq, loudnesses, volume swells, and a six piece string section!
Your electric guitar playing is wonderful. Do you ever play acoustic guitar ?
I used to, when I owned one.... Eventually somebody, some company will send me one etc and then you know.... We'll take it from there
@@TorySlusher I will look forward to hearing that . . .
