I saw a YouTube video about this guitar. The reviewer is a down-to-earth guy, who is pretty blunt in his reviews. He liked it and that put the bee in my bonnet. Amazon ran a sale on it, so I had to try.
The body is small, but the neck feels like that of a full-sized guitar. Honestly, I was wondering if would be like trying to play a mandolin, but it's like a regular guitar. The sound is full. For a small, relatively thin guitar, it has a rich bass response and the sound is balanced. I've got some pretty serious acoustic guitars. This may not be in that league, but it's surprisingly good and better than some of my mid-range guitars that I would actually take out of the house.
The carbon fiber is pretty thick and feels durable. There's a lot of tone wood, bracing, grading of the spruce top, et al talk about acoustic guitars, but this thing sounds good. There are graphite and other carbon fiber guitars on the market, but at multiples of the cost of this guitar.
I love the look. Enya calls the color "blue," but as the photos show, it's more aqua or sea foam green—a PLUS in my book. The neck shape is comfortable to play. The neck had just the right amount of relief for no buzzing. You get a tool for adjusting the neck in case it needs help in the future.
The on-board effects are OK. It is cool the have reverb and other effects come out of a guitar that is not plugged in. I have played it thru' a guitar amp, but not thru' a PA. I downloaded the app and got it to pair with my phone thru' Bluetooth, but haven't experimented with it very much.
The action is playable, but I'd like it a little lower. Time to sand the bridge saddle, but I haven't done it yet. The case is different from what a lot of YouTube reviewers show. It's a soft shell gig bag with an eternal pocket. Instead of a single strap that could be removed and used as a guitar strap with included adapters, it's got two sewn-on straps for classic backpack carry. This case was aroma-free. Some reviewers said their cases reeked. The manual says it comes with a leather strap. I got a woven one in a pukey color that isn't going on my aqua blue guitar. They are wise enough to add "subject to change" when listing the accessories.
I was intrigued by the innovations that this guitar offered. I also got it for its size, weight and durability as a travel guitar. It has not disappointed in any of these areas. But it is the sound that is truly amazing from this little powerhouse. I certainly didn't need another guitar, but I'm glad I got this one. It's useful and unique.
