Headless Electric Guitar GW2 fixed Bridge for 6 String Travel Guitar For Travel and Performance Right, Stainless Steel Frets,Black

I bought 2 of these GW-2 guitars at the same time. One for me and one as a gift. They arrived very well packed and in perfect condition. THE HYPE IS REAL!!! Both of them were flawless. The quality control was off the charts. Everything as it should be. The frets are incredibly done. The fretboard is immaculate. Better than all my expensive guitars. Honestly, I'm more than impressed. The pickups are really good, but think old Gibson PAF, not metal or "hot". A low output humbucker,not something more modern like the look would suggest. But I love this. With distortion, it can do most anything. And the routes are nice. Its an amazing mod platform if thats your thing. Its all there with the body. The neck is fantastic. I can't stop playing it. Both guitars arrived on the same day 4 days after ordering and they were practically in tune and ready to go. If you are on the fence, do it. The return policy is great, nothing to lose. I kinda thought it was a novelty guitar but it's not. Its a real player. Feels great. Sounds great. No brainer. This is the most comfortable guitar in any position believe it or not and a joy to play just lounging on the couch.

I bought this on a whim. I have Suhr, Gibson, PRS, etc guitars so I really don't need any more instruments. I just enjoy working on guitar related stuff so I'll occasionally buy a "project" to mess around with crowning / leveling frets or electronics. I ordered this figuring that I would need to really put some time and effort into this to make it playable. Plus I don't have a headless guitar so there's that. But so far this guitar needs nothing. Seriously. I'm sincerely impressed with this instrument! Construction: The wood is nicely finished and smooth. The clear coating is well done and the grain of the wood is actually attractive. All of the joints are tight, the controls are smooth, the pickup switch is nicely detented, and all of the screws are firmly fastened. At this price occasionally that's not the norm at all. Fretwork: The fretwork isn't PERFECT . . . but it's WAY better than what you'd get on a $500 Squier. It call it easily the match or better than a production Ibanez though. Pickups and electronics: The pickups are Eart's house brand (I guess) but I don't think that I'll be replacing them. They sound great - a nice chimey neck pickup and a mid-focused but shimmery bridge tone. The middle position sounds great as well. They aren't Seymour Duncans or Suhr pickups but they sound as good as the pickups in my PRS SEs. Amazing value and tone for the price! The electronics are very well soldered - heck they even use full size pots! Setup and hardware: The hardware is decent. The headstock end of the string holders is sleek and simple - the bridge is the only slight con of this guitar for me. The bridge holds tune well but the tuners are stiff and very temperamental - it takes very little turning to over/under tune the note you were aiming for. You just have to be very careful as you turn them. The setup and action out of the box were pretty much spot on - I might lower it a bit after it acclimatizes to my home but frankly I'm amazed. The setup is FAR better than the out of the box setup on any guitar that I've bought for less than $1000. Who ever worked on this one was a great setup person considering that it came all of the way from China and *still* had decent action and prefect intonation. I don't usually write reviews but this guitar and the attention to detail that went into it deserve it. Absolutely amazing quality for the money - I will be buying more of these for other experiments. I'd love to have one with P90s! Folks at Eart - you need to develop a fanned fret seven string version as well. If you do please let me know - I'd love to help you with product testing on that. You all know how to build a guitar!

I'm in love. No tuners to beat up and knock out of tune. No headstock to crack. Tuning stability for days. Excellent neck, in both feel and workmanship. Frets are done properly, no sharp edges, roll off is comfortable, tang is barely visible if at all. However, the frets are very short. The width is ok, but they really need to be taller, especially as this type of guitar is aimed at a more modern player. It's the only thing on this guitar that I would say needs to be addressed. And, I'd pay more for it. Fit and finish were wonderful. Pot control in particular is fantastic for an under $500 guitar. Burl finish has some open pores, but that's to be expected. Very comfortable to play, and as I bought this for using on the test bench when building amps, I will be playing sitting and this guitar is built for the sitting player. I can't comment on the pickups, as I had already planned on swapping them for some custom wound P90s ( I build amps primarily for single coil players) and I have very little time playing humbuckers with which to give them a proper comparison. The tuning knobs are knurled and a little rough and tough to turn, so you will be using the provided key, but they hold tuning extremely well (fixed bridge) so that shouldn't be a major concern. My pickup blade selector had a bad solder joint on the bridge pickup, so I didn't have that working at first, but was an easy touch up for me but everyone may not be able to fix it, so that's a little detraction. Also there was a little bit of wood dust in the cavity from routing I would imagine that should have been blown out. I put shielding tape in the cavity, so I would've removed it anyway. The cavity cover is very tight in the route, so much so that it doesn't even need screws, so a small cutout would help ease the removal of the cavity. These negatives are very small, and really picky anyway and honestly not something valid on a guitar of this price coming off of a factory build. It's why the guitar isn't $800, and I can deal with the small issues for the $500 discount. Perfect guitar, no. But perfect $300 guitar, maybe! It has changed my mind completely about what I value in a guitar, and I don't think I will ever go back to the standard again. I will always want some of the aspects this guitar brings to the table in all of my future guitars. I have a feeling my headless collection has just begun.

Great ergonomics. The size in addition to travel is great for a small music room like at a desk in front of a computer. The more I play it the more I like it. I thought I would upgrade the pickups but they are fine. The tuner key that is held to the bridge is a little fiddly and forget about a clip on tuner. What I ended up doing is gluing on a couple of magnets to the head for a cut down Allen wrench and a tuner. Oh and if you have a wireless sending unit it will tuck in there out of the way like it is made for it which is also great for traveling like with wireless guitar headphones.

Kept my eye on this for quite some time before pulling the trigger (I own the GW2 - hardtail bridge/chrome pup covers). They redesigned the ergonomic shape last year (.strandberg*-esque shape) to the new, more original shape. It was a questionable design, but I ordered anyway. It arrived nicely packaged with no damage. Came with the correct size tools for setup/adjustments. After some cleaning and setup, it felt right at home. I can't say enough nice things about it. The neck is a modern C shape and is extremely comfortable for my style. The ergonomic shape of the body affords a lot of options for different playstyles. Electronics are solid. After tone-shaping for awhile I decided the pickups are doing the job for now and have a great deal of diversity to them. I did have to tighten the input jack, but as far as QC goes, I have absolutely no complaints. The bridge system holds tune very well once the strings are broken in. Speaking of the bridge, changing strings is a breeze. The tuning knobs have some options on the tension (adjust screw tension to taste), and can be turned by hand without using the built-in hex crank tool. There are plenty of videos/tutorials on YouTube how to change/adjust strings. Once you've done it once, you won't forget. This is now my main guitar that I do nearly everything on (again, versatile pups). This specific model currently has no other competition when it came to features/quality and for the price is the best option for a headless under $500.

My husband loves this guitar. It’s easy to restring. My husband prefers the Ernie ball 9 super slinky strings which he did put on this guitar. The other change he made was to the nut that holds the strap on the upper horn. He repositioned it so the it would balance better when standing. He also had to lower the Low E string. Otherwise this is an awesome guitar especially for the price. My husband is a tone chaser. He has an extensive collection of guitars some in the $2,000 range. He’s even purchased $1,600 guitars and sent them back! He’s keeping this one! And believe me, he’s very picky and a talented guitarist. He also recommends that the manufacturer move the volume knob back and place it directly under the bridge because he likes the LP style guitars which have that feature; which the Strandberg guitars have that setup too. He hasn’t put this guitar down much since he received it. Plays it for hours each day. Don’t hesitate to purchase this guitar.

This guitar is amazing! I read all the reviews and was skeptical but so glad I got it. I have several 2,000$ guitars and can say for a fact that this guitar feels and plays and looks just as good as any of them. The frets are so shiny stainless steel and perfectly level. No buzzing at all.The action was way too high out the box but I made a neck adjustment and it’s pretty close to where I like it with just that minor adjustment and that’s somewhat to be expected with any guitar so not uncommon. The body feels decent and neck feels very high end and of great quality. EART is awesome. I will likely stop spending insane amounts of money on high end name brand guitars and start giving these cheaper brands a chance. I’m seriously stoked with this purchase. Only major thing that bothers me is it didn’t include a travel case but I will search Amazon for something that will fit it since I bought this to bring with to work everyday and practice on my breaks.if you are reading this review and trying to decide if it’s worth buying take a chance and if your not impressed send it back but if their all as nice as the one I got you won’t be disappointed. Cheapest guitar I’ve ever bought and likely could be one of my favorites moving forward. Thank you for reading my review!

even when using the allen screen adjustments, the bridge is mostly useless. the string height at the lowest setting is like an old classical guitar.

First off, I payed $375 and nothing extra for shipping. A good deal, one might say. The neck feels comfortable; the fret work is flawless; the guitar plays well; but it wasn't perfect right out of the box. I had to adjust (a tiny bit) the tross rod, and lower the action from the bridge. After that, it was perfect. The first few days, there were tuning instability. The lower E string is still at times, slightly flat. The tone is warm and pleasant. If you push the gain too far, you would get feedback! So if you're a metal player, consider extra cost for pickups. But I'm keeping the pickups that the guitar came with. They have all the goodness that I'd want from an electric guitar. Of course a little bit of overdrive helps the tone; but it sounds good even without that. The switch is good. I've had to deal with cheap switches before. This guitar comes with a switch that is definitely NOT the cheap and noisy type. The volume knob and the tone knob feel right; not too soft. The tone knob cleans the sound really really well. I usually leave the tone knobs on 10, becauase in some guitars, with rolling the tone, you might lose some of the high Mid sweetness. This is not the case with this guitar. You can adjust the brightness without compromising high Mid sweetness. That's it. For nearly $400, this was a steal! If you can afford it, and don't mind the awkward look (I don't think you can impress anyone with this look) don't think twice: it's comfortable, it's well-made, it sounds good, it's good value. I'm happy.

The frets are good, it’s all real wood, and acoustically it sounds quite good. The build quality and the materials are great, and I don’t think that they should change anything about the guitar. The pickups are awful though, but given how good the rest of the guitar is, that should be 100% expected given the price. This is a guitar that should be bought to be upgraded, and that isn’t a bad thing at all.

I enjoy the guitar and the price is very good. It does have nice fret work on it, the neck is very straight and the odd bridge is actually pretty good and easy to install strings on. However, the neck is has numerous issues with the finish on it, which ERAT's customer services said shouldn't affect playability...It absolutely effects playability. There are bumps, digs, and lumpy spots all over the back of the neck from the finish. Again, it 100% affects playing the guitar. Also, after not even a week of use, some of the spots on the body that are for cosmetic purposes have just fallen off. There are little "wood" filled spots to create a cool kind of dimensional look to the body and some of them have fallen off, leaving the red wood underneath showing. They absolutely were there when the guitar was first inspected. These however, do not affect the playability of the guitar. All in all, the price is still very good as it still is neat looking, has a small, straight neck, and a nice body overall. There are not many options for cheap headless guitars and this is not that bad of an option. I am debating on returning it as the neck issue I have with it is frustrating and clearly affects the playing of the guitar. Small side note; I looked at the pickups and the bridge pickup has Seymour Duncan lettering on it, however the lettering is in the middle of the pickup (I have never seen Seymour Duncan pickups without letting on the bottom, top and bottom, corners, or none at all) and the stamp on the back is the same as the Neck pickup and not a stamp that I have ever seen related to Seymour Duncan. I could be wrong, however, I would not expect real Seymour Duncan's on a cheaper guitar or on a lot of stock guitars to be fair. They also do not sound like SD humbuckers, they sound like generic stock pickups, which are by and large, fine.

Payed about $470 for it and my god everything about it is amazing
