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

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 attention To 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! lol Hope this is helpful to someone!

An amazing guitar and well worth the price. It sounds amazing and plays amazing. If you are learning or just want an awesome on the go, ready to go guitar this is a fantastic choice. Love the design and app that comes with it for your phones. Truly worth the money.

I was a little skeptical but hopeful this was really all the influencers claimed this guitar to be. I'm not disappointed. I have a few professional (pricey) guitars, but the last few years I've really been into quality affordable gear. Some of it is good, some not so good. This is really good. The material and workmanship of the Enya is top notch. I like this carbon fiber composite material of which it is built, silky smooth, just the right weight and the tone... as good as any guitar I've played. Even without the builtin amp or plugged in, the guitar resonates quite well. You can hear and feel what you're playing quite well. I am a fan of the zero fret design, which in my experience works better at keeping the guitar in tune than most traditional plastic or bone nuts (unless the nut has been finely honed and crafted by a luthier or good guitar tech). The tuners are quality tuners. The truss rod adjustment, so much easier to adjust at the body than the neck and super easy with the tools provided. And this innovative tremolo/vibrato/whammy bar spring tension adjustment is brilliant! If you need to go lighter or heavier with your string gauge, this spring adjustment makes it so convenient to dial in the trem again. The builtin amp is solid with plenty of thump. The cleans all the way to the high gains are good. If you want some feedback, it'll sing, beyond fun since the speaker is in the body, but very controllable. The app is a little finicky (I've only tried iOS version) but it'll let you try new sounds, add effects and assign up to four patches on the guitar. This is a great practice and learning tool as well. But even without all the fancy "smart" builtin features, this is guitar worth the price for learning, practice, recording or live performance. It seems really durable and unaffected by humidity and temperature and seems to be something that'll give years of service. Finally I sent a question about the guitar and customer service was prompt and friendly. It looks like Enya will be a well recognized name in the guitar and music world.

This Smart Guitar is probably the Best started guitar you can buy for a new student young and old. The built in amplifier is a game changer and something all of the big name guitar makers should have done for us guitarists many years ago. I'm sure Fender, Gibson, etc. will be copying the design of this guitar to produce their own Smart Guitars in the near future... I am 65 years young and have been rocking out with vintage only Fenders and find most modern guitars severely lacking in quality and playability. The Zero fret is a great addition and the solid one-piece carbon fiber body/neck construction is done very well. My ONLY cons: I don't like the feel of the carbon fiber on the back of the neck. I also found the frets to be a bit to large for my liking but not too big to be unplayable. I also was hoping the contour of the neck would have been contoured on the opposite side of the neck in the first position. The wattage is sufficient but the sound quality nice at lower volumes but becomes distorted at higher volumes. I believe this can easily be overcome by increasing the amps wattage output to 20 watts and incorporating a base response speaker into the system. All in all this is a great guitar for the price. I think these guitars make great starter guitars and great travel guitars. If they priced this guitar under $500 it would probably fly off the racks at every guitar store!

ギター歴は10年以上、機材も一通り使ってきましたが、この Enya Inspire はいい意味で想像を裏切られました。 「エレキを弾きたい」と思った瞬間に、ほぼ準備ゼロで弾き始められる点が最大の魅力です。 まず手軽さが圧倒的。 15Wの内蔵スピーカーは十分な音量と鳴りがあり、アンプやエフェクターを繋ぐ必要がありません。 思いついたときにすぐ手に取って弾けるのは、従来のエレキにはない体験だと思います。 音色面も実用的。 20種類のプリセットは決しておまけではなく、クリーンからオーバードライブ／ディストーションまで、基礎音色がしっかりしています。 日常練習や作曲のアイデア出し、ちょっと弾きたいときにはこれで十分です。 素材面での安心感も大きい。 カーボンファイバー複合ボディなので、温湿度変化を気にせず扱えます。 置き場所に神経質にならなくていいのは、想像以上に快適でした。 総合評価 メインギターの代わりになるわけではありませんが、 常に手の届く場所に置いておける練習用・サブギターとして完成度が高い一本です。 機材の接続に疲れて、「純粋に弾く時間」を増やしたい方にはとてもおすすめできます。

Excelente guitarra, muy buenos materiales, funciona a la perfección. Muy recomendable.

My second Enya Go Sonic arrived yesterday in perfect condition. No marks, no dings, well wrapped up in a nice gig bag and I began the normal physical and sound checks. First off, the action on this guitar was absolutely on spec as if I had purchased a normal Les Paul style guitar! 5/64" on the Low E and 3/64" on the High E, both measured with a string gauge from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string. Neck was great as well, with just enough relief to have no buzz anywhere. Frets were also level and of course the ends are smooth, which is rare in any guitar these days, even high end guitars. I let the guitar charge up over the next 1.5 hours in a normal charger, with the cord that came with it and no problems. When it arrived it was at a 45% charge, so I could test the sounds which seemed normal to me. The guitar is great to play, especially with the shorter scale, at least for me and the neck is very comfortable and fast. . I have rated this guitar as a 5, as I have found no problems with it but the Enya Music app, definitely needs a lot of improvement. However, App development is separate part of overall provisioning and I will write another review on the App itself on the Play Store site. I had some questions before I bought this guitar since the first one I ordered and returned, had some quality issues and the Enya Service Support group were very helpful so I went ahead and ordered another one. As I progress with this guitar and there is any significant changes in my opinion, I will update this review.

Decent on board sounds, excellent build, good strong tuning heads, easy truss rod adjustable, however you can't remove the back under warranty which is a nuisance if a string breaks and gets stuck inside, also the app is useless, I've tried connecting all day no success. No UK adaptor. Update: Because of this I got in touch with Amazon and they advised to return it for safety reasons as the wrong adaptor was sent and the lady said they would remove the item. So I have to repack and they are picking it up tomorrow.

Top Verarbeitung! Es sieht aus wie eine technische Zeichnung, einfach perfekt. Es gibt einfach nichts was man bemängeln kann. Fühlt sich super an und so spielt sie sich auch. Gewicht liegt bei 3,3 bis 3,4 Kg. Das eingebaute Modeling ist über den internen Lautsprecher ausreichend gut. Für den Live Einsatz würde ich jedenfalls etwas hochwertigeres nehmen und das eingebaute als Backup ansehen, das ist für jeden Live Gig ein beruhigendes Gefühl. Hab sie inzwischen bei verschiedenen Temperaturen in unterschiedlichen Räumen getestet und sie ist absolut stimmstabil, trotz Vibrato System! Ich kann jedenfalls sagen das es kein Spielzeug ist. (spiele Gitarren zwischen 99€ und 2500€) Unbedingt antesten!
