I’ve had this guitar for a week now (the SP-1 version), and changed the strings to Thomastik Plectrum AC110. That made the action perfect-easy to play for a beginner like me. I’m SO happy I bought it. Good review!
Thank you! 😊 Yes we also felt the strings were a little rough on the fingers, besides being a tiny bit high. Bill had another guitar he brought with him which had some Thomastik strings that were delightfully smooth!
Enya should send you the electronic version. This was a good promotional video. You spoke of all the things that makes the instrument special. It is a great free advertisement for Enya. One of the better videos highlighting the guitar. You even knew they had change the case design. Good job.
Thank you! 😊 I sent them a link to the video after I published it. Haven't heard from them yet, but it would be pretty cool if they wanted me to make videos of more of their stuff.
this was a good promotional video. today is 7/11 and amazon is having their come one, come all suckers sale! and this guitar is going for 149$ on a flash deal. right now 30% of them are supposedly sold and i'm leaning towards trying one out.
I could really see myself picking up one of these for camping or taking with me on my bike. I'm impressed! The world of guitar just got easier to get into!
That's something I kinda forgot to bring up on the video (because the cat decided to climb around my back when I was thinking of it), that being a carbon composite, they are pretty much weather-proof, they won't go out of shape because of change in humidity or temperature, and they won't come unglued if they get wet. 👍
Totally worth it for the price. I got this about a week ago and use it as my travel, beat’em up guitar. * The setup and intonation was perfect out of the box. At least mine was.
It's not affected by heat/humidity. I have one in silver/glitter with incredible liquid gloss finish (3 times the price: $5 hundred something). The electronics were destroyed in shipping. No problem, I just tore them out. It's one continuous pearl drop of luminous glitter (blinding in the sun) Always plays in tune. I replaced the strings with thicker nickel plated and lowered the lower bridge with one I miraculously had on hand. Better intonation than my other Ebony guitars. It's possibly bullet proof.
Yeah, my first thought was that it looked small, but it does have amazing sound! It was fun listening to Bill play around on it. And bonus, we got to see Boo as well as Ash! Aspiring fellow guitarists? ;)
Bill is an amazing player! And the guitar is small but oddly it doesn't feel small once in playing position. Boo and Ash were both very curious about it, so I managed to sneak them in at the end. 😉🐈😸
@@SculptyWorks,as someone with low confdidence in my own playing for years , these sort of comments do make their mark , I praise your response, amd im sure your great at whatever style/song or own sound you choose to enjoy , thanks for video
Having a hole on top of the guitar is actually a killer-feature because the player can hear the guitar much better. I accidentally stumbled into this fact when removing the electronics from an acoustic guitar.
Thank you for reviewing this guitar. I found your video while researching the Enya Ukuleles. They have a Soprano and a Concert sized version of their Ukuleles that look identical to this guitar. Your video showed up on the side and I clicked to watch. The only thing I didn't agree with in your review was when you said it looks like a toy. I actually think it looks great, a carbon fiber, all one piece, sleek guitar. Especially since you don't see anything that looks like this, it's almost a one-of-a-kind. And with your friend's review stating this is astounding (his word), it seems like this is a good choice for a carry-anywhere guitar.
I was actually struggling to find any downsides to it, so it came down to simple aesthetic preference. I do think it looks nice, but it's a bit too simplistic in design, which is good because it gives it sleek lines and keeps manufacture cost down, but it's also bad because it makes it look like it came out of a mold, like a plastic toy. 😉 But mind you, that was me trying really hard to find something bad to say, just so I could point out at least one con. I'm truly impressed by this little guitar. 👍
@@SculptyWorks I understood what you meant when describing the guitar, and I was just saying I think the design looks good because of the sleek lines. I haven't seen this type of guitar on the market, especially from the brand name manufacturers. Then when your guest was playing it, you could see he was very surprised at how well it was playing and sounding. And being the first time I've seen an Enya guitar, I was pleasantly surprised at the sound coming from it. Thanks again for your review, I think you did a great job, like you said, trying to find something wrong, and only finding the frets needed polishing and not quite liking the lines. I'm thinking of buying one because of your video.
@@marcd1981 Yeah, I was also truly amazed at the sound. I've played carbon fiber violins, and I have never found one I thought sounded better than a mid-level student model. Most sound pretty awful, so I was expecting a very nasal and dull sound from the guitar, but no, it's open and clear and quite resonant. I'm sure EnyaMusic will love the publicity they're getting. They made a good product at an amazing price point, I think they deserve it. 😊
Thanks for your review. It was really cool to see a good player being surprised it was so good and to see him take the guitar through its paces. Really interesting. I hope Enya do send you one with bells and whistles - I’d love to hear what you think about it.
Thank you! 😊 I don't know if I'll hear from Enya Music, our relationship got a bit sour when I got another guitar of theirs with a poorly glued bridge and they left me hanging, but who-knows! 👍
@@SculptyWorks Enya should realise that if someone posts a truthful and critical review it makes the reviewer's opinion and their other reviews more trustworthy. You've posted a good Enya review and one that pointed out some faults - means I'm more likely to trust what you have to say. In a world of people just liking things because they were given them free, a truthful opinion is a valuable thing. 😃
I decided to buy this guitar, thank you for your review. It cost me 246$ because I am from EU, but I hope that it is still worth it :) Could you please point me to the guide how to polish the threats?
That's awesome that you bought one, but I'm sorry to hear about the price difference. It seems everything is more expensive in Europe these days. mMm myabe I should make a video on polishing the frets! 😉 I'm sure there are tutorials out there, but the process is very simple: You either completely remove the strings or loosen them up so that you can move all of them out of the way safely, then you put some form of masking tape (painter's tape?) on the fingerboard on the spaces between the frets. Depending on how rough they are, very gently sand them with 400-grit sandpaper, then go over them harder with 0000 steel wool. Remember you want to polish them, not alter their shape, so you need to be careful with the sandpaper, but the steel wool won't remove any significant amount of material, it burnishes the sanded frets, so you can (and should) go harder with it. It's a bit of a project, because there are so many, but nothing really technically difficult. Just make sure to protect the fingerboard! 👍
Wanted to share my experiences with this guitar. I wanted this for a long time to have something I can take to the beach and parks here in Florida… But, I’m a lefty. So I broke the rules! Between no nut and a classical saddle I just switch the strings to a lefty, filed the would be nut, and it actually sounds great!
I'm seriously considering picking one up. I can see it's quite small, so definitely won't be my main guitar, but A. I'd definitely find some songs I'd prefer to use it on, 2. it could be a very good backup on stage, and III. it'd be a guitar I'd be comfortable with taking on vacation, due to the really high durability. Another thing in regards to action, specifically at the bridge-end--it's much easier to lower the saddle than it is to raise it on any acoustic guitar (as well as many other instruments), so it's generally left at the higher end.
I don't use it often, but every time I pull it out I'm amazed by how much guitar you get for so little $$$ (relatively speaking). The size has become the major issue for me, it feels a bit too small. I think if they made this in the size of a Les Paul it would be the perfect carbon fiber guitar! It's just a genuinely fun guitar.
In the past, China’s manufacturing industry relied heavily on manual labor, resulting in varying quality standards. Nowadays, with widespread robotic intervention, manufacturers are more open to incorporating innovative designs and unique features. This trend is evident in products like camera lenses.
I was on Amazon a few days ago because I needed to pick a little guitar and saw this. Dismissed it and purchased my piccolo. I almost wish I got that instead. Almost.
To polish the frets (I should make a video on it!), you take off all strings... Hint: Slack them enough that you can pull them out of the bridge instead of the tuners, it's easier to put them back on that way if you're not going to be changing strings. ...take off the strings, mask the fretboard space between frets with masking tape, and depending on how rough the frets are, use sandpaper, something around 400 grit should be enough to smoothen them but not enough to risk taking off too much material. Sand them all with 400, then 600, then 1000 grit sandpaper, and do a final pass with 0000 steel wool. You can use a buffing wheel afterwards but I find it overkill. It's a bit of a process. 😉 I like action that's as low as possible without buzzing, and I was able to do that by sanding the bottom of the saddle. You have to be very careful to keep it even. Don't mess with the zero-fret unless you know what you're doing, because that one you can't replace if you take off too much. 👍
@@tannertucker22 "guitar tubers"? I'm not familiar with that part of the guitar! But if you meant 'tuners', I'm truly amazed by how nice they are, considering how little this whole thing costs.
"high action" means the strings are far from the fretboard, yes (not necessarily only the high notes), which makes it harder to press down on them, making it unpleasant or difficult or outright painful to play.
Thanks! 😊 I don't know how you'd put a pickup in it, since it doesn't have the conventional soundhole and all to reach inside, but the 'acoustic-electric' model comes with the pickup built into it.
It's a composite material. It /probably/ has carbon fibers in it, but it definitely started its life as a liquid that was injected in a mold, not the woven carbon fiber cloth that everybody thinks of when they think 'carbon fiber'. 😉 They do make one that has a top with woven carbon fiber cloth, but it's a significantly pricier model. I've asked if they want to send me one for review, but haven't heard back.
I think you're not looking hard enough. I've seen em for less than 200 USD just about everywhere unless you're looking for the SP1 electric acoustic version
