I have an '80s Korean guitar with a built-in speaker that's actually one of my favorites. Speaker's broken though. My dad found it in a dumpster, so I call it the "Dumpstercaster".
Is the speaker itself broken or the amp powering it? Generally shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
what make/model? is it available used?
As a guitar with its own amp and speaker built in and it doesn't sound like crap, I think it is a pretty nice player. I would use it just for some practicing on my couch or something.
I’ve had this guitar for about a week, and I’m totally impressed! Light weight, smooth heel, low action (without the buzz), playability, portable….all of those things are fantastic. But what really got to me was the speaker. You can feel the air. It brings more life to playing. It’s like playing an acoustic and sounding like EVH at the same time, without blowing out your ears! The app is fine. There’s not much too it, but IMO, I think that’s a good thing. I dialed in 4 distinct sounds and roll with it. If you’re a player, and 350$ won’t break your bank, THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!
Can you make thing sound like an acoustic as well via the app settings?
Have you been able to play a backing track or something over BT on the built in speaker?
For a minute I thought I was back in the 70s listening to a Mahogany Rush album when you got wild with the effects. Awesome.
John, i never really listened to them for some reason. If I'm missing out on something really good tell me the best place to start & I'll listen to some of it tomorrow. Thanx, and greetings from Downtown HoustonTx...
My first thought was how much fun this would be to mess around on with my grandkids. Something silly that they can make noise out of and slowly begin to get interested in making music.
Great review/demo Ryan. Thanks.
Your face gives away how much you enjoy playing it!
Ryan suddenly became a Doom Metal God after saying, "Let's just dump some effects on it."
what are theese pedal
Thanks for this video. Just ordered it in white!
I ordered the Black , it will be in my hands on Monday !
If they make a 60 cycle X Enya offset "lil dripper" edition I will 100% buy immediately.
I won’t buy one until this happens.
The sound that you got out of your rig when you said let's just dumped some effects sounds just like my rig is freaking amazing😂😂😂😂😂❤
Ive had a pignose guitar with a built in speaker (and it distorts and feeds back nicely) for like 20 years or so. It also plays really really well for a tiny little thing and sounds pretty good too.. They are great for just leaving out next to your arm chair and picking up whenever. Also as its a bolt on neck you can take it off and it will fit in a suitcase. It was £150 new and I still have it sitting next to me right now.
I kinda always wanted 1 of those or maybe a Fernandes Nomad. Pignose still makes them?
@@clintwilson6380 Yep, you can still buy them new. They do an all mahogany one now too... Really awesome guitars for what they are. Very overlooked if you ask me.
@@clintwilson6380 Yes, you can still pick them up brand new... They do an all mahogany one now too.
Has to be an armless chair for me while playing 😁.
Great video, Ryan, and I dig your shirt....
❤ your groovy collection in background
It looks really fun to play and sounds surprisingly good. And better still, no need to faff about with cables, headphone amps, etc. Love it! Definitely on my soon-to-acquire list.
Hmm. Could have sworn I posted a comment yesterday...Oh, well. Thanks, Ryan for a great intro of the Sonic. I already own a Nova Go SP1 (acoustic/electric) in white. It's a fantastic instrument for the money. No worries about heat, cold, humidity. Perfect size for a couch guitar and does great either with onboard effects/speaker or plugged in. So, where am I going with this? I just ordered a Nova Go Sonic in, wait for it, black. Can't wait to get that sucker.
Busking opportunities!
I am rather impressed with how it sounds, and it looks great, too. And I am loving the Zimm's shirt. My favorite guitar shop in the Phoenix area.
I just purchased the Black ! It will be in my hands on Monday , I can't wait !
How are you enjoying it so far? I'm on the fence and want a real person's perspective.
I have the acoustic version of the nova go 1/2 size, which fits in my car and is great during "smoke" breaks at work. I ordered the sonic after watching several videos about it. Kinda wish this had been out when I bought the acoustic version, but the acoustic can sit next to my couch for breaks between shows.
I think this has a place. Temperature and humidity changes when travelling...alnico 2 and 5 pickups...asymetrical neck, easy for my surgically repaired arm to play...light weight, easy on the neck and back...Great video!
10 seconds in, and I was ready to buy it, lol.
I have one of those Casio guitars with the built-in tape deck. That only has one distortion sound but has become kind of cool by virtue of being old. I doubt this will age as well but it's a lot more functional, at least for a few years, then it will take someone clever to mod it into something cool again. I like the construction though, kind of Gibson Sonex-like.
It is sooooo cool. Its an Enya. Quality for sure.
Just ordered one
seems like a good choice for a travel guitar as you don't need to bring an amp and cables. Great for playing at college waiting for classes or something.
Love to see different body shapes in the future
Nice review.
Thanks for posting.
Have liked and subscribed 👍😎💭🎸🎶💜✨
That's the best thing since Cort Effectors of the 80's.....I'd really like to get one of these, especially since I've had neck surgery, 6 pounds would be a huge relief....
I can see myself getting one by Summer. Interesting design.
This looks like a lot of fun. Hope I could get something like this in Europe. It might be my beach guitar this summer.
Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?
Only time 🎶
Enya 🍀 🇮🇪
Bejaysus!
That is so awesome if I liquidate some of my stock I am getting one.
I wish they made strat body too !
Just FYI you guys inspired me to create my own UA-cam channel and I'm getting my little video spot set up in my spare time to do my own videos so thank you, and guns and guitars, know your gear etc. For the inspiration!
Like the Zimms shirt
Access to the upper frets looks good. Light weight is good. Probably more robust than a Gibson. It's got a lot going for it.
More robust than a Gibson....LOL that statement is epic...Not true but epic!
Hey is that an sx liquid behind you with the 3 P90's?! I love those!
I have electrophonic guitar with onboard amp two speakers. Kick ass
I already want one!
Well I like it
I saw a video demonstration of one of these Enya guitars by a guy who was rocking out righteously at a campsite somewhere. He sounded pretty good, demonstrating all the tones, rocking like Van Halen or Angus Young. Then he said, "Whoops, it's 6:00 a.m., and I don't want to wake anybody up ..." and my thought was, buddy, it's probably too late to think about that now!
I'm not saying I might not want to have one of these; seems like a cool tool, and a great travel companion, but the key would be to NOT assume that anybody else wants to hear it being played. I'll predict that it won't be long before there could be whole UA-cam channels devoted to videos of these carbon-fiber guitars being ripped away and smashed to pieces by people who have heard just about enough "shredding" for one day.
I've got an Ibanez Gio Mikro with a built in speaker, and I'm not going to lie. It's kinda fun.
that's very cool for the price
That's really cool. They should add a wireless pedal to switch the channels and an fx loop.
I love my nova go. Its not the best sound. But considering its an amazing traveler for the price i love it
Hi from Quebec (in Canada) ! I just got my Enya go sonic, I'm a beginner so I have a couple questions about this guitar :
1 - Do its normal that when I play some notes , the strings I didn't touch are resonating on their own(very loud and affect the melody) ? Also when I'm doing nothing , the 6th string and 3th string are resonating too...
2- Do its normal that the speakers on my guitar are crackling when i use high volume with the effects from the app? (i don't have an amp yet)
thank you in advance and nice video :)
Thanks for the greate review.
The black one is all black. The white one should be all white including the neck / fretboard.
Both would look a lot classier with shiny chrome pickup covers.
I'd like to see them make a model with a removable nut so I could slot in a metal nut.
A user removable speaker would be nice as well. Have the option to have the speaker in it. Or remove the speaker and snap on a cover plate to create a chambered LP style instrument.
The speaker grill is likely to collect dust and gunk over time if it isn't cleaned regularly.
The all carbon fibre construction is nothing new though. Steinberger wrote the book on that technique back in the 1980s. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
What was the name of the 70’s funk/soul track riff you played 14:03..where you quote “biffed up”…
I know it but can’t recall name…it’s doing my head in now lol ???
Actually that thing sounds good and is real interesting.
it's a fun gadget
Would love to see them make one without the speaker, seems cool!
wish they made one without the speaker for like 200. this would be a great modding and tinkering platform
This guitar hits just about all the niches you got out there. On it's own, it feels like it'd be a great instument to learn the guitar with. The internal amp doesn't seem to be anything that would burst your eardrums, nor does it sound weak. A good feature would be to create a pedal or a pedalboard to get to all the presets on the fly, and turn them on or off without having to resort to the app (though it'd be fine if you'd want to load a customized preset). But, for the app itself, maybe have the ability to create and store a preset of your own customization on a future update or effects expansion? And add some more effects like shimmer, flanger...
Outside its original scope, let's face it... It's by no means a slouch! You don't want the on-board effects (though they seemed fine to me), you can plug the guitar to a pedalboard of your own, or just an amp if you don't want the hassle of another box on the ground.
And moreover... Carbon composite guitar! It will not need the same amount of maintenance as a wood guitar! It's built to last in the cold and heat, and that neck is likely to remain nice and sturdy for a lifetime - but truss rod is there for whatever minor adjustments that ever need to be made.
I love it! This is the sort of guitar you cannot go wrong with! My consideration now lies in if you can adapt a Virtual Jeff to it for live plays and if it delivers properly with the onboard effects.
Nice, but where to mount the Bigsby?
I want.
The battery stays in? How do you charge it? USB port?
Totally reminds me of the Fernandes Nomad ads I always saw as a kid
A dude I used to work with had a Fernandez Nomad it distorted nicely, the action was a bit high, but, it was a lot of fun to play!!!!
As a practice guitar, without having to pull out your amplifier or modeler, that seems useful. Also good for electric players who want to join in around the campfire, or when traveling, etc.
Guess I need one.
Wheel at the heel, stainless steel, locking tuners, that would be a modern deal.
Pretty cool guitar..looks fun..do they make a blue one ? Lol hmmmmm😮😂
Does it have any neck dive?
Okay, I kinda want one and then put miffy stickers on it
Is there a tuner anywhere?
i have seen rewievs of this guitar on UA-cam and I like this guitar, I ordered one white, nice video.its an alien guitar for shore.feedback😖😫😩
Mi ricorda tanto una chitarrina che vedevo sempre in vetrina passando dal negozio di giocattoli vicino casa, confesso che ne ero molto attratto, avevo 10 anni o anche meno
Thanks!
Perfect for lo-fi and low-brow black metal
hang a marshall MS-2 from the trapeze thing on my es125t and crank it up !
They must have put a lot of R&D into that tone composite. It sure has a bright, snappy high end 🤣
That's pretty neat, if only they could make a bass version...
Is the fretboard wood?
Does it come in other colors?
Will you be able to change pick ups to third party ones like seymour Duncan or fishman?
It comes with alnico 2 in the neck and alnico 5 in the bridge...why?
Please let me know what effects you were using when you used your own board! Thanks, I’ve got to get whatever that indescribable modulator sound for myself.
You are probably hearing the slabs delay. I have it set up to ramp time and repeats when I hold the footswitch
slabs delay? I did a Google search for that and nothing. Is it the ALABS Timeslip? As I said I can’t describe the sound it made, but it had the whole spaceship swoosh disintegrating fade black hole, sci fi soundtrack sound. Anyways, if you remember your complete setup in that video, I’d appreciate knowing it. Also, as a lifelong surf music fan (53 years) I really like your channel. As a bass player who dabbles in guitar, surf music is what I gravitate to when playing the six. Surprised you didn’t mention The Cure in your Fender VI video. Keep up the great work!
@@bassstrangler ALABS! Sorry. Slabs was an auto correct typo. But yeah I’ve been using that delay a lot. It lets you draw ramping expression for every knob that you engage by holding down to foot switch. Find my video on it.
That input jack into the circuit board definitely seems like the future failure point. Would love to see a strat body too. Love a good practice tool!
How thick is the neck?? This is a huge factor in determining whether it's right for my average size hands. Unfortunately Enya's website doesn't tell us the measurements. It only says "asymmetric profile" instead of telling us the actual measurements. Is it frustratingly thick like a Gibson neck?
What I really wanted to know was, “Does it surf?”
And not surprised Ryan tried that out
Nope, no wiggly stick , no single coil ==> no surf ..
@@cvanhetkaar96 but not surprised that he gave it a shot
can you bluetooth into like a JBL or something. That would be nice
Did you put a good quality set of strings on the Nova guitar ?
Nope. Thats the strings it came with
@@60CycleHumcast i suggest a set of ernie ball regular slinkys
Does it drip? I didn’t wait long enough.
He said “get into the guts”!!!!!!🤪
great video! nice product but expensive.
They should just make alittle multi effects..but built into the body of guitar..onboard..No Apps...would be more fun..easier also.
wish they had installed an acoustic preset
Nice shirt. I hope you guys met up
We did
i have a coronado ii and it is one of the best guitar I have and its made in china , I had bothe fender esp horizon Chinese stuff don't need to be bad at all
Got the nova go for my 2 y/o and he hasn't been able to damage it, and i actually enjoy playing it... he grabs it strums open chords and songs out nonsense
Is that Zimm's Guitars from the Phoenix area? Did you stop in on your recent trip? I have been meaning to drop in for some time but just haven't gotten around to it yet :)
Yep!
He’s in a Zimm’s video
Cool! I will have to try and look it up!
@@60CycleHumcast What sent you there? Inside tip? Just general curiosity?
@@Witchcraft467 I drove to Phoenix to buy a mannequin that kind of looks like me
i think these are great for people who live in like VANS or in rural areas ,or whatever. to practice with ...i think is great.. as a guitar to jam with ... no...get a strat .epip,gib.jackson.kramer,esp,anything else really.
Seems like a long overdue idea, but there's some reasons for that...
For one, amp modeling companies and guitar companies tend to be different companies.
For another, what I'd call recording quality digital 24bit/96khz or better, is still confined to high end units.
Having said that, guitar companies have been getting into amp modeling more, and it's no longer inconceivable that a high end amp modeler might be built into a high quality guitar.
Personally, I'd like to see Boss build a unit for installation into routing cavities. It's not that difficult an engineering challenge, just a matter of getting all the expertise in the same room to solve it.
that guitar would look so awesome with black binding around the body and headstock. also having black hardware (pickups, tuners, bridge, knobs, strap buttons, switch tip.) would make it more awesome.
Hmm, i might wait for one at the right price for a practice guitar instead of schlepping one of my teles and little ibanez battery amp around, id sure be less sad if this got stolen/damaged than my "travel" tele...Could be handy around the campfire as well.
@60 Ciclo Hum
Pienso... que las guitarras eléctricas del futuro deberian no necesitar ser enchufadas para hacerlas sonar. Me acuerdo hay un video de Yamaha con uno o varios modelos de guitarras acústicas (incluyendo las españolas clásicas y flamencas) con unos botones en el lado amplificaban el volumen.
Love the fact that you demo these units and do not make videos for "the ladies" or whatever. Some of those "Fabios" go on and on. Obviously about themselves "look I can play power chord shit, ain't I cute?" Thanks for sparing us and making videos about the gear not you! Yes there is a warning in there as well.
..
finding this in 30 years in some dusty attic... good luck on the appstore getting this running
They will stop app support as soon as they sell out. Then : screw you guys!
Anyone know if they plan on releasing a pickup-only version without modeler electronics or a speaker? I'd dig having an ultralight beater to play with the headphone amp I already use*, but I'm not really interested in all the extra stuff inside.
*for jamming out to gypsy cowpunk while watching the orville
Mine is black. I agree that it's "just fine" as a $350 carbon fiber electric guitar; not great, not awful, but quite satisfactory, with a gorgeous, seamless neck joint. I like its looks, build quality seems good, and I very much like the fact that it weighs just a hair more than 6 pounds. The effects are OK, but many combinations require the app, which requires a smart phone, which I don't have. Enya tech support is awful, and the "manual" that comes with the guitar is of little use, just like my prior experience with a different Enya guitar. Les Pauls from Gibson & Epiphone are too heavy and too pricey, so this is a budget-friendly (and shoulder-friendly) alternative. I'll probably play mine 90% as a "regular" electric guitar, plugged into an amp, and using my external pedals. All but one of my other guitars cost more than this, so it's a relative bargain.
I absolutely hate the idea of a guitar controlled by a phone APP!
For that guitar price range, they could easily have included a tiny display and a 4 button control menu, to make it standalone.
Pete townshend would like one of those. No Hiwatt Amp needed.
