EART GW2-PRO Review/ Sorry but I have to be Honest

Ойын-сауық

When I decided to pull the trigger on the EART GW2-PRO I had high hopes and based on my last purchase from Eart guitars I guess I had high expectations. If you missed the unboxing video, I suggest watching that first where you'll see right off the bat, we ran into issues. Although it wasn't a huge issue for me some people wouldn't have been able to enjoy it right out of the box. In this video we will discuss all the issues I ran into with this particular model and how exactly I went about fixing them.

    I'm an old fart(53) metal player. I really like what this EART company is doing. Making it affordable to have a quality instrument. Some are hit an miss with QC. Sometimes they have flaws that are easily fixable. Some do come out of the box with unfixable flaws or damage. Thats unfortunate. But the majority of these EART guitars are killer for what you spend. I'm super happy that I found another cool guitar channel. Very cool. Love and blessings from Texas. Subscribed 🎸🎶❤☺👍

    I bought the Eart gw2 standard based mostly on your videos. Ido like that older shape tho. After your bridge video i pulled the trig. Im a mechanical construction dude so I'm not afraid to fixand work on stuff. Love your channel man. Very happy with the purchase, i bought the all black sandblasted one. Im thinking about sanding off black and leaving it in the woodgrain then staining a real dark red or something. I'm just over 2yrs in on learning and I recently now work from home so I play a lot everyday. This guitar is so comfortable for sitting at my desk and just grabbing it constantly while reading specs or plans or whatever.

    Im sure there a lot of people that got good ones just like the regular gw2 some got good ones and some got ones with a lot of issues. In the end everything was fixable but for someone without the skill it would cost money to get playable or be a return.

    The new bridge increased the cost (compared to the previous model). I think the barrel -style bridge has some patent, so it renders headless guitars more expensive. But it is a better bridge IMO... The other issues you reported are actually not small for a $420 guitar. I will pass.
