- Are you on the market for an headless guitar but you don't have the budget for a Strandberg or some other big brand? Maybe you should take a look at these Aliexpress guitars, but there's a catch...
If you are on the fence and you're not 100% convinced about buying one you should definitely watch the video.

bro you actually played The Odyssey at 10:05, made me smile!
Finally someone noticed!!! Cheers mate!
I just gotta comment on how sick that intro jam was!
I have a 2022 NK 7 strings (like the black one you shown on this video and on oyour channel) and I love it. For the money it's a fantastic instrument, on all the neck is absolute insane. The radius, the shape and woods are a perfect combination of choices. Well done NK!!! Only the electronics is not as good as the rest of the guitar. Also the finish is not that bad. As I said, for the money, you cannot find other guitars at the same level imho.
love your content, huge support from Italy ♥

CRUSHEEEEEEEERRRRR! 🤘
Wonderful playing man, I really enjoyed the clean bits. I've always been curious about all of those (kinda sketchy) chinese ebay/aliexpress guitars that seem to be out there now, thank you for the honest and informative review!
amazing playing
I’m a believer, I bought the last year 3 (six strings) all stock models, one white, the other two top Maple veneer , ash body with roasted maple neck/fretboard, natural finish, I made them a oil/wax finish, I’m very happy with the look and feeling .
Overall I find those guitars the best relation price-quality. Competes favorably with instruments $200-300 more expensive like my PRS SE or my Fender MIM. Only hope buy at least two more before they increase the price, as GOC made some time ago.
I just love headless guitars, nk souns amazing ❤
I love my NK’s NK army 🤘
Subscribed in first 30 secs.. just for the track
Mate i really like the sound of the tunes you were playing. Have you released any music online that i can listen to? e.g., spotify
Thank you man, really appreciated. I played in many bands over the years, my dearest was this one: ua-cam.com/video/8zZ0Ne49lRM/v-deo.html (if you don't mind some growls). Cheers!
I own the 7 string with the ash body, black finish and a wenge neck/maple fretboard. The neck has impeccable fretwork, perfectly level, polished etc. The zero fret lacked finishing and wasn't crowned very well but it hasn't caused any problems. All of the metal hardware was extremely sharp, they really need to sand blast their metal hardware (brass saddles, string locks) as it could definitely cut you. The body finish was garbage, very splotchy and not well done but acceptable i guess. Pickups are okay but definitely should be replaced, the split coils sound surprisingly good though. The strap button position is terrible if you want strap locks and like to wear the guitar high (like a lot of headless players do), it digs into my chest. The tuners get very tight and are hard to turn, something they need to work on as well. The ash body is solid (surprisingly heavy), it resonates beautifully and is a joy to play acoustically.
There are definitely some struggles with translation on the manufacturers part (My rose inlay was labeled Fish on one of their stock photos) but they are in China, hopefully they improve communications in the future. They are making a solid product despite some glaring issues. I'd pay $1000-1200 (CAD) for another one if they increase the quality a bit. The necks alone are a great reason to buy one as it's rare to get fretwork this good on a sub $2000 guitar, let alone anything under $1000.
My main concern with the company is a lack of store front, ali express seems to be their main store front and they haven't released many (or any) 2023/2024 models so my guess is they aren't selling their old stock.
Hi I was wondering, at what point did you pay him? Was it after he showed you the guitar or before?
I really wanna know how long those NK guitars are, the 6 string and the 7 string, from the tip of the wood of the nut to the piece of wood beside the bridge, how much inches?, because my sg from harley benton its about 97cm and I wanna know how much difference of space its gonna be, pretty good jam, i seriously love this guitars, want to get one as soon as possible!
Oh, and the weight from both guitars
do you know if it is possible to customize it with a floating tremolo?
I don't think so.
Ciao, considerando il costo d'importazione, quanto hai speso in totale per questa e per la sette corde? sembrano strumenti piuttosto interessanti...Grazie!
Ciao, adesso i prezzi sono aumentati non ti sarà utile sapere quanto ho speso ahimè. La dogana per me fu intorno a 60/70€ se non ricordo male, però non ti affidare troppo, potrebbe variare.
Thats nyatoh the wood. Its a mahogany type wood. I love the sound of it. Have it on my ibanez RGDIX7
It's not alder then... thank you, i guess it's fine.
Yeah wood doesn’t affect tone so you’re fine.
Price is now around 500÷600 + customs for the standard models.
I didn't quite get how much you paid
I paid 500 total, i think price is gonna go up.
Guy from AliExpress answers me once on a day. I am waiting for the respon for hours. Is it normal or should I do something to make them work faster?
That is normal. They have weird hours
That thing looks and sounds awesome.
Ci stò seriamente pensando a prenderla… ho provato sia STRANDBERG che ormsby e non ci crederai ma delle resq:d ne ho prese due entrambe rimandate indietro per difetti e la ormsby non era intonabile….follia…tanto vale andare direttamente alla fonte e rischiare…. Il mito delle chitarre fatte in America forse è finito e non lo so sembra che tutti i marchi fanno pagare fuffa…. Non lo so cosa ne pensi?
Ciao non so quanto siano consistenti nella produzione, se non hai un palato troppo fine e metti in conto che qualcosa potrebbe non essere esattamente come nelle immagini, allora potrebbe essere uno strumento con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo imo.
Ciao, scusa cosa intendevi con "la ormsby non era intinabile"?
@@SpampysGeM che le sellette non si potevano arretrare per raggiungere la intonazione corretta: occorreva tagliare le viti o trovarne di più corte. Problema riscontrato anche dal liutaio del noto negozio Merula. Le sei corde tradizionali tutto perfetto, la settima e l’ottava erano completamente fuori di un tono al dodicesimo tasto…. Ps per la cronaca non ho ancora deciso 😂 ci sono poche alternative per le headless e tutte con compromessi
Bro, that is sexy AF
