Guitar is good, the player's even better

Beautiful playing. I keep coming back to this video again and again. Very good.

Please do more reviews!!! I really appreciate your straight forward approach and your playing is inspiring🤩 !!😎👍

Excellent, straight forward QUICK review. An efficient use of time but covered all the bases! Thank you Walter!! Oh, and great playing❤

I always love your videos. They are truly a blessing!

High quality built and hi-tech equipped piece of guitar. And it is in good hands. Beautiful 🧡

He is so amazingly talented Gorgeous melody chord style

a very fair and comprehensive review. looks like a good product.

Thanks for this. Great review, great playing! "Blessed Assurance"!😁

Great tutorial Walter, thanks!

Belíssimo instrumento, excelente projeção sonora. Na mão do mestre então... 🥇

Have had this guitar since around March, it's great, agreed on all of Walter's points. One observation to add is that the displaced soundhole means you need to adapt your fingerstyle percussion because they reverberate differently. Can of course still do it, just need to strike in different places.

I’ve watched scores of Walter’s videos. I’ve never heard him speak, or do any demos or reviews etc. A brilliant player and a great guitar.

Kudos, Walter, for your usual lovely playing and excellent exposition. Apart from the weight which is bit of a negative, the tone and projection seem great. I would think it would also be resilient to factors affecting wooden instruments like humidity.

Its a beautiful guitar. You make it look so easy! 😊

Nice review and wonderful playing. I have one of these and I agree with the pros and cons listed in this video. I’d add that the sound, from the perspective of one playing it, is heavily skewed toward bass, which drowns out the treble frequencies. It might be the offset sound hole that causes that perception, as it sounds bassier while playing it than it does when listening to someone else playing it. I’m finding that hard to get used to and enjoy. People I’m playing for seem to like it better than I do. I’ll also add that the factory setup had very high action. I had a luthier lower it, and it was still high. I lowered it some more myself, and it’s better but still not as easy to play as my other guitars.

Beautiful guitar, and it sounds super good in your hands!

Walter is so good - he is a true master, one of the finest players out there. Great review, Walter!

................. I agree. As I have told Walter. I am a lick thief . I try and steal his licks and progressions. I end up with a ton of great stuff and an even greater respect for Walter's talent as a guitarist. His sharing has made us all better guitarists. BTW, he could make a First Act guitar sound great.................

Beautiful guitar and sound

Nice review and playing!

Great playing!

Nice review, thanks

I've had one for a couple years and love it. I have a Martin D28 and a couple other nice guitars. My Tacoma top cracked bad due to low humidity, thus the Enya. You didn't mention the really nice case ! I agree with the knobs and lack of tuner. I used white marker to see better but they dropped the ball on that. How details like that get by QC and R and D is odd. Heavy ? YES. One other thing is plugged in you can't defeat the effects, you can turn it down a bit. Great playing !

Exelente guitarra, lo mejor que he visto..

Man this is amazing

Hi Walter, thanks for this interesting review

You play great nice review.

I would love to have one It’s sound great!

Wanderfull!!❤

I really like it so much

Good review Walter! Maybe Emerald Guitars will send you a Virtuo for review. Sounds great!!

Good one!

Nice!!!

You mentioned the absence of markers on the tone volume and mic controls , but on your close up of the control panel , at 2.50 , I notice there are two small projections on each of these knobs that presumably are supposed to act as markers .

I like the natural reverb of the guitar

Even if it's a $100 guitar, it will sound great when the master plays it.

Apparently the one's shipping now have built in tuners and more readable dials. They listened to you!

It's a beautiful guitar.

Ademas de ser tu Fan. creo que tomas una escoba y la nacer sonar hermosa!!! muy bella guitarra!! Saludos amigo!!!

The direct (unmiked) sound was excellent

Great review Walter…always enjoy your perspective on instruments. Great playing also (think you’ve already got some bluegrass under your fingers!!)

Good review! This carbon fiber guitar does not like other carbon fiber guitar. the souns is more warm and solid

Thank you Walter for your review. I have been contemplating a carbon fiber guitar for when I go out to the desert in a completely dry humidity environment. I am AMAZED at the sustain the Enya guitar has! Love your arrangement......Jesus is mine, oh what a foretaste of Glory divine! . ......Russell D.

What a shooting voice

Hi Walter, great video! I was thinking, what's the name of the soft stand that you use to elevate the guitar? Hf and take care :)

Oi Walter! Fala um pouco de você! Mora no Bras ou exterior? Te assisto a tempos e sabemos pouco sobre esse músico tão talentoso!

The shiny ring around the sound hole makes it look like a cup holder. So I fully agree a matt black would be much better.

Great review ! Very nice playing. Thinking about one of these . You think it worth it or does the honeymoon end pretty quickly with this thing. By the way where do you get the pad to set on your knee. Great ideal . Again thank you a lot ! Jeffery Clark from Rockdale Texas

Maestro Walter saludos desde Venezuela!! Podría realizar algún cover de Luis Miguel? Gracias.

Quite nice snake skin looking guitar. Great playing Walter as always! Thx 😉

What is the action like. Is is easy to play? It sounds great.

Thank you for the great review! I just got it, and love the sound! The spacing/ action between the high frets and strings is really large/ high. Since just out of box do i have to go to a pro to fix, or return and get another? I'm new at this.

The action (string hight) can be easily adjusted by a guitar tech or luthier, once it’s proper setup it should play very comfortably.

Thank you for your neutral review!

How are the low ends? I play in drop C almost exclusively. If the guitar still sounds this beautiful when tuned that low, I’ll be sold.

Did you have the action set up on it after you bought it or did it come set up already?

What is that gorgeous progression at 2:23? I'll buy it if available. Excellent review!

The most important is sound must be good and its good 👍

I'm a listener, not a guitarist , that guitar sounds better than I expected it to, particularly in skilled hands. The loudness and projection is impressive but does it lack the warmth of wood? Or am I being picky?

can you adjust the set up with that guitar?

Does Enya make left handed carbon fiber guitars?

Thanks, Walter. What’s the neck profile like? I have big hands and prefer chunky necks. Thanks.

Hi Derek. Acording to their website it's says Fretboard Radius (16") Carbon Fiber. It feels pretty much like a "Les Paul" profile, I have long fingers and it feels very comfortable to my hands.

Is the saddle compensated?

What's you playing guitare at 4:25'' please ?

Does it have adjustable action?

Thanks Pal. Yes, it's clearly a match with the pegs, but since the ring is made of plastic, it's not like matching the pegs with the rest of the hardware like on an electric guitar, but that's my humble opinion as a guitar player. My wife disagrees with me as well, she's a designer :)

Hi would you recommend this guitar for fingerstyle

@walterfingerstyle

Жыл бұрын

It depends on what “style” of Fingerstyle you’ll be playing and the sound (tone) you want to achieve. If it’s more towards Jazz I personally prefer nylon string guitars because they are much easier on the fingers among other personal preferences. This guitar (X4) is a great instrument but like with any other carbon fiber guitars it has a very particular tone comparing to traditional wooden guitars. It really comes down to personal preference.

There’s a link on the video description

Sold mine but will buy again when they fix this: neck angle is waaay too steep and too high attached to the body, strings height above soundboard is too high for playing comfortably with resting pinky (at least for me), guitar is too heavy for carrying around, not more dynamic responsive when harder strumming and picking, transducer electronics sounding are quieter than on wooden guitars due guitar's mass and stiffness of the back. Offset soundhole is nice and adding more bass, but you cannot put magnet pickup if you use it. Otherwise nice guitar for that price and excellent sounding when amplified. Comes with very nice and elegant case.

I think you can play a broomstick and will still sound good.

Does this "guitar" accept nylon strings?

Not being cynical or anything, just curious- if you get a cosmetic “ding” or or some kind crack or whatever- who fixes it? Again, just curious..

First seen..:)

I had an issue unfortunately with this guitar. First you dont know what the power level is so it would die during the middle of a gig and second the action was incredibly high and uncomfortable to play

Sounds better then a 3,000 Martin.

That's nice. But can you play smoke on the water... And by the way.. Who tf needs a tuner anyway.

Are there any bad Brazilian guitarists? Not fair, your too good... hahaha, But on the guitar. I like how you make it sound, but I noticed it's missing the woody resonance and warmth from a traditional instruments. Shore it has it's place in recording or live situations.
