And also loop through your strap. If you do this I see no problem. It's not actually more fragile than a regular circuit tbh or by perhaps very little

A kill momentary switch would be a nice addition. Having a piezo bridge pickup might be a nice option. I had some other ideas that are slipping my mind at the moment.

Ok so here is the thing about electronics like any component in a computer if its going to go its going to go during the warrantee period or it will fail out the box, with manufacturing its very very rare to have something fail, Capacitors have come such a long way I cannot tell you the last time I had to resolder a cap on a motherboard that was leaking or failed probably Pentium D days maybe socket 775 on cheaper motherboards. Honestly a major issue is E-Waste because to components outlast the use of the product these days. Batteries are the only major failure point I have seen, and those technologies have been progressing at leaps and bounds since 2006, in about 4 more years the battery issue will be solved entirely.

That is Neato I used to take Pignose amps (and strat , pedals)out to the park or camping As well as a CRATE "The Can" battery option amp An actual gas can they made into an amp back when their amps actually looked like Crates Then the Mouse amps

So I got my Enya Nova Go guitar today and so far I love it. It was set up very nice, good action, smooth easy playing, Tone is great, no dischording tonation seems spot on. I haven't plugged in to an amp get but I will tommorow. I only wish they would have sent a manual or something with it.

When he finally did he found that the battery had no charge and it would not take a charge. He contacted Enya and they sent a replacement battery. I was pleased to hear that they stood behind the warranty and product. If im not mistaken, his is the acoustic that is shaped like a Les Paul.

You can tell that they are paying attention to the SMALLEST of details. Especially those LITTLE details that are most often overlooked or just ignored because they are considered irrelevant or inconsequential and it saves like 10¢ for every guitar they make. However, when it comes to a professional level instrument, it’s EVERY tiny detail that adds up to making a truly great instrument. This is why the “cheap” “lawsuit era” Japanese guitars to even the Japanese made Squier guitars are so saught after today. People realized just how much care was put into every detail of the guitars that were produced simply because of the Japanese work ethic. The Japanese still produce instruments that are some of the highest in quality for the price in comparison with most any mass production guitar factories elsewhere in the world.

That's actually pretty neat.... I've got, like, 47 guitars, lol, so obviously I need another one.. I ordered one of these from your affiliate link, in black. I think it'll be fun to mess around on, and annoying the kids randomly will be a plus 😂😂

Brad is the closest thing I’ve seen to Johnny Winter since his passing. He has a very similar way of playing as Johnny.

The TRADITIONAL way of the guitar was invented by Antonio de Torres in Sevilla in 1835. Telecaster is pretty futuristic, built like a assemblyline car. Genius. And pretty forward thinking.

The killer feature of the Pignose is that the speaker sits under the strings, so you can get amazing feedback in battery mode... But when you use it live, pull the pigs nose and all hell breaks loose - infinity feedback and sustain!! I love mine. It helps to take the bar off that holds the strings down on headstock so that the strings break at a better angle :)

I've got a black one on order. I've got about another week b4 I get mine :(. Can't wait. I've never played a guitar so I'm a total rookie. Yes, the USB-C cable does more than just charge the battery. You can use the cable to connect to your computer to record as well. This guitar also has a blue tooth feature on it. I think you just double tap the button and it briefly lights up red. You can then use the guitar's speaker as a blue tooth speaker to play back songs to strum with. So I believe you have to pair two times on your computer. One for the app and one for the blue tooth speaker. Sorry for being a rookie but I'm watching a ton of KZread videos to speed up my learning skills. So sorry for my rookie definitions. Out of all of the videos I've watched, I like Guitologist review the best. Thank much for this great review!
