Enya Electric Guitar Nova Go Sonic Smart Electric Carbon Fiber Guitarra with 10W Wireless Speaker, Onboard Presets, All-in-One Portable Rig for Street Performers & Home Studios, White

Did a ton of research and watched everything on YT before making purchase. I knew I was likely getting a pretty great guitar at a good price (with a small but possible chance of getting a broken one)...Turns out I made a really good choice. If it keeps working well for a few years it will be a great choice! It came well packaged with everything. Physically it is in perfect condition. I did have to tune it. Took a few minutes to figure out the app but all good there too.Only minor feedback I could give to the folks at enya is that I purchased the "ocean blue" and the fade on the guitar body is not well done. It's not horrible, but it's not nearly as well done as the picture shows. I noticed the same thing when watching YT - some of the "ocean blue's" were well painted closer to the nice fade seen in the publicity images however some were like mine - MUCH heavier on the full deep blue.I'm going on a hunch here but the ones they sent out for promo reviews might have received a tiny bit more attentionTo explain: In the photos (and in some videos) the full deep blue stops around the bridge and slowly blends over a few inches from deep blue into white in a nice straight even way ending just after the first pickup. What I received (and saw others had) was one painted full deep blue up into the first pickup and also ENDING the fade into white before the end of the pickup....All of a whole approximate 1" band wide fade! A whole inch of actual visible blue. It almost looks like I have a black and white guitar with a narrow blue band. Probably would have been closer to name this paint job "mariana trench blue", lol.What makes it more noticeable is that it's painted in a curve and unevenly blended way across the face . I'm not exaggerating when I say it looks like something I could do with a spray can of white paint against a piece of dark blue poster board by arcing my arm back and forth pretending to airbrush. Oddly, the headstock fade looks great (evenness and straightness).Okay, sorry for the lengthy feedback. It actually looks really great still - even though it's not quite what the marketing photos and sponsored video reviews might have you hoping for so be wary if the look being like the pictures is important to you. A perfect paintjob isn't a must for me. I'm not performing with it. That leads into...I bought it with the intent to use it for learning, practicing and even some song writing. It's perfect for it. Even taking places and playing out and about and not having to have any other equipment or being concerned about temperature / humidity (yay carbon fiber). I wouldn't leave it in a fiery hot car but non extremes wouldn't have any impact. But camping, BBQ's, picnics. It would be perfect.TLDR: I love this thing, It feels great. Plays great/easy. Everything is working well so far. It sounds really good. I'm overall very satisfied and very happy with this purchase. This is an EXCELLENT guitar for an incredible value. I wouldn't be performing with it - i.e. they introduced a pedal as a feature for the new slightly more expensive "Inspire" model to allow switching to (some) effects directly. The "Go Sonic" does not have this pedal available. You are stuck using the button on the guitar going sequentially through them. Would love to see that offered as an optional add on for this guitar too.This guitar so far seems like one of those rare things that come along that's a lot better than anyone would expect. It's built great quality wise. Made of carbon fiber. Feels good. Easy to play. Sounds great. Well designed. Full of awesome features like a zero fret.And if this guitar is intended for a beginner - wow! It's perfect for any beginner who is serious. It would be like getting a new sports car for driver's training! lolHope this is helpful to someone!

Weight in the hands: Heavier than I thought, feels very solidSound on the built in amp: Very nice! Sounds like a decent amp, built right in.Sound off the built in amp: Haven't tested yet - this was bought specifically because of the built in ampLooks: GREAT! I really love the look and feel of this guitar.Battery life: I'm told 6-8 hours from a full charge. Haven't tested it personally.Setup: Install an app, push a few buttons. A few choices, enough to do the job.My husband has had this guitar everywhere in our home and outside of it as well since it arrived. It's beautiful, sounds fantastic, and it's brought us both a lot of joy. Our home was devastated by a hurricane last year and we lost a lot of music equipment. It's been hard for him to play in the way he likes as a result. To give some back story, he's been wanting a nice guitar with a built in amp for years. The only one we could find was about 2k in California. Then he saw ads for this, we did some investigation and research, and bought this one. It's about 25% of the price and he absolutely loves it. We may add some other Enya guitars to his collection in the future, since he found out one of them has a built in looper. Of course, they could just give us a looper in the app for this one and that would be fantastic. But yes, we're happy with the purchase. My husband gives it a 5/5 star review.

Apologies, this is a long one. I would have made it shorter, but I didn't have time.I've owned and played six other carbon fiber and CF composite guitars: two Rainsong acoustics, two Enya acoustics, a Journey Instruments acoustic, and the Composite Acoustics Blade electric guitar. Plus the usual suspects in wood - Les Paul, Strat, Gretsch, Ibanez.Been playing the Blues for some 50 years. Retired and downsized, I play at home now and with friends. I do my own setups, luthier work, and modifications ... I know guitars.I've had the Enya Nova Go Sonic for a few weeks now. It's a fine instrument.It has an extremely confortable neck and body, good pickups, excellent fit and finish. The sustain is seemingly endless - typical of carbon fiber guitars.It stays in tune reasonably well. I play mine wirelessly to a multi-effects unit plugged into the clean channel of a good amp. Dial in whatever sound might move me at the moment. I like the freedom of that - being untehered from the amp. Heck, I can walk all over the house, and never have to step over a cord!Onboard Speaker - I don't use the onboard speaker all the time, but it sure has its place when I go out on the porch and noodle.The feedback IS there, but it's fine - you can eliminate it, tame it, or use it as a new type of distortion. The feedback completely disappears the instant you deaden the string(s). This opens up a new realm of sonic possibilites for accenting individual notes or chords within a song. I see this as an asset, not a problem.When plugged into an amp or headphones, the feedback doesn't occur since the guitar's onboard speaker is bypassed.Some random observations:The frets were a bit rough, so string-bending felt slightly scratchy. After doing a quick fret polish (it's easy, plenty of how-to vids out there), string bends are silky smooth now.The pickup selector knob tip loosened up with use - a dab of blue Loctite thread lock solved that.I lowered the saddle to its lowest setting, and now the action is perfect with no string buzz (I play fingerstyle).Heads-up: if you do adjust the saddle height, wrap the tip of your screwdriver with a small scrap of a single use plastic shopping bag - this prevents marring of the screwhead if the screwdriver's tip should slip.Fret level wasn't needed. Although several frets were marginally high, it's not enough to cause buzzing. Acceptable for me.Pickups were physically higher than I prefer, so I lowered them (use the pair of screws on each pickup, which are there for that purpose) until a volume balance is reached across the two pickups.Caution: do not wipe the guitar with isopropyl alcohol (it removed a bit of the black finish on my new Enya Nova Go acoustic guitar). Lesson learned. Soap and water and clean towel is all I use now on my Enya composite guitars (all of which are painted at the factory, by the way).I added a LP Gibson style pickguard using heavy duty double-sided tape (see photo). Helps support my pinky and looks kinda sharp. And a bit of automotive carbon fiber wrap (photo again) to add a touch of ... elegance. HaI found, like some other reviewer said, that because the Sonic's composite body is very smooth, it tends to slide aound on your leg when you play sitting down. I solved this by adding a strip of thin adhesive-backed rubber to the bottom curve of the lower bout (see photo) - this keeps the guitar nicely in place and makes me feel more connected to it now, more "one with the guitar" if you will.When all is said and done, I am a believer. I like this guitar. A lot.Let's give it its due: the Enya Nova GO Sonic is the FIRST widely available carbon fiber electric guitar to hit the mass market. The Blade was a good contender in 2008-2009, but less than 200 were ever made.Bottom Line - this axe is extremely comfortable to play, among the finest feeling guitars I've ever owned.And being made of sonically-engineered composite materials, it has a very clear, articulate sound. This makes it a very good platform for playing through pedals and an amp. Plus, you can upgrade the pickups at any time, although the stock ones are more than adequate.With the onboard speaker, this is an indoor-outdoor piece of gear. It's true capability as an outdoors electric guitar is found when you play it through a decent small battery-powered amp like the Boss Katana Mini or one of the Yamaha THR series amps, for example. Sonic heaven. It's also very stable, moving indoors and out, through sun and shade. Stability outdoors fares better than any other electric guitar I can think of.For the price, the Nova GO Sonic is a no-brainer.I can't wait to see what other composite electric guitars Enya and other guitar builders introduce in coming years. When high-tech materials, acoustic engineering, and creative designs come together - like they did here - it's a great time to be alive!
