That’s my price range and a great playing, sounding functional guitar under $500.00 there is no shame in a no name guitar. Great review Robert, I love stuff like this. I’m not famous, I just love to play. Rock on Brother 🤘😎💯
Eart are the dog's biscuits. I have their high end Strat. That guitar alone should put Fender out of business. £300 cheaper than a Mex Strat and at least twice as good. Ta Robert, much appreciated.
The mini toggle for the coil split should be oriented in an up/down direction with up being split mode. The way it is now is counter-intuitive. That can be easily fixed with an adjustable crescent wrench though.
Yeah, but I still want a slime-green Charvel something someday. I really want them to re-issue the Surfcaster. I just can’t make a deal on the right used one.
Opening riff in the jam was very cool. Humbucker sounds were a bit dark. Single coil tones sounded a bit zingy - wondering how they might sound wired parallel. The price point is amazing. A couple of GFS humbuckers would round it out nicely.
This kind of competition is great for players. I love Charvel's revamped and reimagined line, but they are still out of my price rage. Great vid, as always.
I ordered an EART E-TT72 a few days ago after pondering on it for a month and watching several EART guitar reviews. It's a basically an HH semi-hollow thinline tele in a surf green color. Always wanted a semi'-hollow, but really dislike Fender/Squire necks. A few reviews mentioned that EART tele guitars have a thinner neck. Hoping that I'll be impressed...
Cool guitar. Nice price point. Tone doesn't stand up to my San Dimas but is nice for sure. Stainless frets are nice I continue to find having 5 or more guitars in the rotation negates the need for SS frets 🎉
Another great video Robert ! This is a pretty good guitar. Sounds good. Especially throwing in another $200 in some Duncans and would sound even better 🤘🏼
Well I’m impressed also when you said you were gonna keep it and use it in upcoming videos I knew it had to be good Robert, I’ve been a long time viewer of your channel and your Honest Opinion means a lot.Thanks for all of your videos and the time you spend doing them.
First off, thank you Robert. I was in a shit mood today until I saw the intro and did a spit-take with my coffee. Your humor is most definitely appreciated good sir. Secondly, I'm in the search for a new guitar and have been looking at higher end LTD and Jackson models but after this video, I'm definitely check out some EART guitars. Thanks for your work and time, Robert. You simply fucking rock!
That’s a nice guitar the clean tones didn’t impress me much. Then again it’s clean tones. I know Ryan from 60 cycle hum really like Eart guitars. I haven’t had the pleasure of playing one yet. Really awesome video.
Man awesome guitar for the few bucks. EART guitars have gained a reputation for quality-such as stainless steel frets and even using solid top wood on one of their single cuts. I want one in that green brother .Awesome video🎸👍
@@RobertWJackson oh yeah I know mate, just said it for effect. I've never changed a pickup in my life haha. From what I heard you playing the factory pickups sound metal AF anyway 🤘with that coil tap this would make a cracking studio workhorse though.
well fudgesticks, I always wanted a HH tele with a trem.....I just bought a Jackson HH super strat with a Floyd Rose licensed trem on Stupid Deal of The Day for $350.
although it doesn't seem like it's for me as stock, i think it'd be a great platform to customize it (different pickups, controls, tuners, etc.,). a lot of these companies are really hitting it out of the park as far as what they're offering in that price range!
Great video. Seems like that company is listening to players by filling the gap between building a good instrument or an affordable one by doing "both" ! Good to see some reality applied to the guitar pricing market for a change . Thanks for the video ! 👍
A week or so ago, I saw you use this in a previous video and was losing my mind pouring through your uploads trying to find the review 😅 This guitar has been on my list and your opinion is definitely adding weight in my mind towards getting it, albeit in that honeyburst finish. Awesome video Robert!🤘
If someone went to this factory and released similar guitars with better more evocative glam name like vixen or roxy or similar it would sell like hot cakes
Could you see if Master Effects could send you a Marauder and martyr pedal to review I'm very interested in those and your videos are really honest thanks
@@RobertWJackson sorry I have not much info other than I saw a demo of the marauder on another channel based on the teal stripe bandit but I know your honest about your reviews and if something isn't good you'll point it out I love your channel but I think master effects is in Canada or something I'll try to research them
Dude, I need this axe! Is it true bypass? Does it have a sweet spot? Is it transgender friendly? Nonbinary? Covid compatible? Can it get Eddy's "Smells like teen spirit" tone? Asking for a friend
loving the body cuts on it and the control knob design, Fender's entry level teles are disgusting cosmetically but my HH sounds insanely great! Fender please ditch your dumb control knob placement and ugly pick guards
You always do the exact same post processing ... which is pretty much none ... and those pickups sounded scary good considering they are supposed to be cheap Chinese crap compared to just about anything on you channel, including your Schecter C-6 (on which I hate the stock bridge pickup, I replace it on mine)... to a point where my ears through youtube tell me they do not need to be replaced!?! It sounds crazy even just writting that... the Jackson pickups on 1000$ Jackson guitars sound like shit, spiky and shrill ... those which are on a 400$ GUITAR ... actually sound... good, I must be going insane or tone deft ...
A lot of those cheap pickups are sounding pretty good these days but I agree this one doesn't blow me away tone wise though overall at the price point its pretty cool
@RobertWJackson well i watch dam near about all your videos and can tell you this video stuck out to me on how bad the guitar sounded . Not looking for a fight. Still would be good deal to get this guitar and drop better sounding pickups in it
@@RobertWJackson laughing at the manufacturer, Robert. I'd bet someone a Donner pedal or similar that it doesn't have a bookmatched mahogany top. Bookmatching is difficult and time consuming. No reasonable builder is going to bookmatch a top and then paint over it with opaque poly. In the odd chance they do, why? Its ridiculous. Still a great deal for the price. Still enjoying the channel after multiple years.
@@JInfinity7 It’s really not that difficult of a process. It’s really just splitting a piece of wood. Have you ever seen a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top that’s been stripped of its finish? I sold a VOS R7 Gold Top to a client one time, his sole intention being to strip it and turn it into a Burst finish. When they stripped the Gold Top finish off of it, they unveiled a 5A flamed maple top. LOL Some solid-finish guitars actually have really nice looking wood underneath the paint.
@@RobertWJackson I remain skeptical at this price point. And yes, I am aware of the technique. Again, I think the Eart is a pretty good bargain, matched or not
Hehe pretty sensitive huh. Could not care less. I am only interested in guitars with a neck that is 0.8 inch between my thumb and my fingers. But, apparently, no one else in this world is interested in that particular info. So essentially, I am looking for another planet.
@@RobertWJackson relax, was just kidding. But my old 80s Japanese Squier, quite expensive bullet strat, can't hold a candle against my €99 Chinese bullet. Just saying :)
I love this model. I have the white one. Play it all the time, and as I thin the herd of guitars I can never let this one go.
I think I saw your video on it awhile back. Seriously, I was SHOCKED at how good this thing is. And that’s not lip service at all.
I love the riff you played for the demos. And I love that your dog crashes the video!
It really HER house, we’re just living in it. LOL
@@RobertWJackson You're very lucky then. LoL
Thank you! It's real iffy to spend $400 on something you've never heard of.
That’s my price range and a great playing, sounding functional guitar under $500.00 there is no shame in a no name guitar.
Great review Robert, I love stuff like this. I’m not famous, I just love to play.
Rock on Brother 🤘😎💯
The pups don't sound bad. A bit sterile, but nothing I would walk away from. Can always swap 'em out.
Yeah I didn't think they sounded great but still gig worthy for sure
th-cam.com/video/SMnwUXncEII/w-d-xo.html
Even tapping the guitar body with your hand sounded pretty good.
As a cheap gear fetishist, I salute you.
🫡
@@RobertWJackson That is the exact reaction that comment deserved.
It looks nice and sounds nice as well. It’s pretty versatile. I’d call it a good deal.
Eart are the dog's biscuits. I have their high end Strat. That guitar alone should put Fender out of business. £300 cheaper than a Mex Strat and at least twice as good.

I really want them to re-issue the Surfcaster. I just can’t make a deal on the right used one.
The Blue ones are on sale on Amazon for $319.20

Sounds incredible, looks incredible, I've never been a fan of the tele shape body either

If it wouldn't be overlap in my collection maybe.. It looks and sounds good to me.
The clean sounds buzzy almost sitar like , is the nut cut well?
The nut is cut just fine. I think I may have had the truss rod a hair over-tightened when I shot this video.
That’s a nice guitar the clean tones didn’t impress me much. Then again it’s clean tones. I know Ryan from 60 cycle hum really like Eart guitars. I haven’t had the pleasure of playing one yet. Really awesome video.

Cool! I think I need one of these!
Very nice specs for the price. Killer shirt by the way
LOL I thought you might like the shirt! LOL
Remember Ertl, the farm toy maker?
Yep.
Not going to lie, I fancy one if these myself.
Whack a black winter into the bridge and play my emperor riffs on it 😅
Don’t even waste your time on installing the Black Winter. The difference in sound is nominal at best.
@@RobertWJackson oh yeah I know mate, just said it for effect. I've never changed a pickup in my life haha. From what I heard you playing the factory pickups sound metal AF anyway 🤘with that coil tap this would make a cracking studio workhorse though.
well fudgesticks, I always wanted a HH tele with a trem.....I just bought a Jackson HH super strat with a Floyd Rose licensed trem on Stupid Deal of The Day for $350.
I've had this t380 for 2 months. Such a nice guitar. I want more eart guitars now. The value is super high.
Better than my classic vibe tbh

Cool guitar!
I like your channel because you seem like a straight shooter no BS. I have seen Eart getting good reviews everywhere. Looks pretty damn good
Great video.
Seems like that company is listening to players by filling the gap between building a good instrument or an affordable one by doing "both" !
Good to see some reality applied to the guitar pricing market for a change .
Thanks for the video ! 👍
Great review, looks and sounds like it's a great value guitar.

Awesome video Robert!🤘
how would you compare the eart guitars to firefly? i'll say firefly pickups are trash but the guitar itself is fantastic.
I haven’t gotten to try the Firefly guitars, so I couldn’t say.
Eart as in Art, perhaps?
Amazing! Man I do NOT need anther guitar though...............
Yeah Robert! Lay it down. Lay it down!
🤣🤣🤣🤣......That’s your best intro EVER!! You should go to mime school! 🤘🤘
If someone went to this factory and released similar guitars with better more evocative glam name like vixen or roxy or similar it would sell like hot cakes
Impressive specs. Looks like it's gonna weigh a ton though. Mind you, if you're used to Les Pauls.....
Nah, it weighs about what any average solid-body Strat or Tele weighs.
Could you see if Master Effects could send you a Marauder and martyr pedal to review I'm very interested in those and your videos are really honest thanks
Get me some contact info. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with that company or their products.
@@RobertWJackson sorry I have not much info other than I saw a demo of the marauder on another channel based on the teal stripe bandit but I know your honest about your reviews and if something isn't good you'll point it out I love your channel but I think master effects is in Canada or something I'll try to research them
According to Phil it's E-art
I’ve heard three different channels pronounce it three different ways.

you have always had no bs reviews, when i am checking a piece of gear out i watch your review first, if available
If you still dont know EART stands for Electronic Art
Nice awesome guitar ,but the pickup’s didn’t sound good to me.
What do you mean?
I think you should get paid, why working for free.
I enjoyed your videos
That guitar makes you sound good Robert! 🤘🏻
Thanks…I think?
Hopefully this guitar plays like a charvel cause it sure as hell doesnt sound even close to a charvel with those pickups.
Right. Because the amp, cab, and any number of other factors that affect a guitar’s tone have no bearing on that at all. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
@RobertWJackson well i watch dam near about all your videos and can tell you this video stuck out to me on how bad the guitar sounded . Not looking for a fight. Still would be good deal to get this guitar and drop better sounding pickups in it
Someone PLEASE tell me what the voice in the intro is saying. All I can hear is "Limp Dick".

Bookmatched mahogany, hahaha
I guess I don’t see the humor in this.

Maybe you should actually watch the video if you’d like to know where the guitar came from.
Hehe pretty sensitive huh. Could not care less. I am only interested in guitars with a neck that is 0.8 inch between my thumb and my fingers. But, apparently, no one else in this world is interested in that particular info.
