Everyone, look busy. The GM is here!

I'm not much of a headless fan but i have to admit that the sound, specs and looks of these guitars blew me away! I had no clue that those bridges even existed xp.

best review so far of this guitar, and been looking for some months

My first time catching you brother, killer playing, I am truly impressed with both of those models..Great job I look forward to more!

Thank you for covering this; I'm going to have to pull the trigger on one of these!

Deakon! I found your channel after I saw this guitar advertised on Amazon. It's Aaron from RoT! Great playing and nice review! Thanks for covering these! Cheers!

This is an excellent video of the Eart Headless Guitars. Very well structured, informative, excellent sound samples, and Deakon's playing is outstanding. Oh, and also, the closing remarks make good sense and are smart. Thanks, From a new subscriber.

Thanks for going into detail on the bridges, really informative thank you, I've been wondering how they work. And that blue top though!

Is it possible to change the neck to a fanned fret neck EURO Neck same as on the Stranberg Guitar or just a regular Fanned Fret neck? Need a fanned fret neck with the same bolt pattern as the Eart W1 with tremolo.

I bought an Eart GW1 from a guy on craigslist and I love it. The neck is nicer than my other much more expensive guitars. I did replace the pickups/electronics and repair the threads on the string lock though.

I just ran across these the other day! Have been up in the air about getting a GW1 with the tremolo based other reviews I've seen because most of them didn't like the trem. Them I found your video and you were going to town on it! I've been a Floyd Rose guy for years and have been wanting to try a headless, but a Stranberg is WAY out of my budget. Lol. Gonna have to pull the trigger and order one now. Thanks man!

Bought an eart explorer 1 a while ago, awesum guitar for the money, after watching this review will have to try the headless.

DUDE!! that magnet adapter is friggen cool!!

Been seriously thinking about one recently purely for the size (I’m on the road about half the year) but I’m glad to hear they’re decent guitars. Might wind up buying one in the near future.

Hey bro thank you for the video you are an awesome player. One question, do you think it would be worth it to replace the pick ups? Thank you.

I like the blue top guitar more. Great playing as always 😃👏👍

Guitar Max sent me, so I subscribed ! 🤗👍👋

Great video but I don't know which one I want to get. I know you can swap out pups and all. But the look of the GW1 with the open zebra pups looks really nice and the pear wood on the GW2 appeals to me over the Ash and I really like Ash. Though I've heard that the fixed bridge has some minor issues and not sure if you get another one like Hipshot just to name someone would it just drop in. Also the bridge on the GW1 how's the quality of it with the options to go hard tail or not on the fly. Does to many options give you more problems? Either way you did an awesome job in the expectation of both guitars. Thanks 👍

I have the GW2 & it's Nissssssssssssssssssce! Only mods I did was swap pickups & replace the tone pot with a Killswitch. It's a steal for the price! Snag one today before they jack up the price because it plays & feels like high premium guitar!

Only thing to add might be coil split for single coil sounds.

Ever since Bill & Ted got a headless guitar from Ruffus I always wanted one. I haven't gotten one though. Lol.

That bridge looks like the old Washburn Wonder Bar bridge.

Bought one of these. Awesome guitar minus the fret wire being lifted on many of the frets near the ends. And therefore, some of the frets where not level. I should have probably sent it back and tried my luck at another one but I bought a fret press and super glued them in and leveled them. Quit a process on a new guitar but I like messing with that stuff. The end result is awesome and I probably just got one that was a little rushed. Still, I feel like I got my moneys worth and had some fun learning some things along the way, like the difference between pressed in frets and glued in ones. (The glued in ones sustain better and don't have a tendency to pop out.) If you are picky about your frets, inspect that first thing when you unbox one. If I buy another one later and it has that issue, I'm returning it and letting them know why. Otherwise, it's a really nice guitar, and you can't expect perfection for that price. At this point, I feel like I've elevated a 300 dollar guitar to something much more expensive, even if it did take me several hours and some tool purchases to do so. Now I've got something that's more personal with some blood, sweat and tears that I'll probably never sell as it's worth more to me than I could ever expect to get out of it.

I have read this quite a few times now that the frets themselves were high. Funny how only the youtubers get great guitars. This info alone is enough for me to stay away. When i hear and read from others about high frets and fret sprout i tend to worry. I saw one YT'er who bought the guitar himself and his also came with weird fret heights so this is more common than we prolly think. This is a big no no for me. Looks cool as a guitar but if it does not even have level frets at more than 300 of whatever currency then this should be a warning

Sounds pretty awesome for the money. Did you had any issues with them after a while or?

I like the GW1 model but cant find it any where to order one

Crazy question. I’m currently building a guitar the same bridge as the natural guitar with the hard tail. I was wondering if you could tell me exactly how far the measurement is from the middle of the zero fret to the front of the bridge. Great video even if you can’t get me the measurement haha

Whats the action like on these 2? Can you easily adjust the action on this bridge??

If you tune that thing with the bridge locked, then you unlock it so it floats, isn't it all out of tune once unlocked?

Is there a way to hang this guitar on the wall, or is there a guitar stand that will hold it? If not, how do you store this guitar when you're not playing it?

Hi Sir Deakon, what string gauge set was installe on the GW2?

I just bought the pro model. I received the guitar. At the "headstock" where the black piece is mounted and strings terminate is there a space about the size of a business card or is it flush mounted? Mine has a space about the size of a business card. Not sure how to tighten this piece. Hopefully my description was sufficient. Any advice would be appreciated.

these guitars are pretty cool, do you get to keep them?

Sir, i would agree with you that a person must consider giving Eart a seriuos consideration here. you can't get quality instruments like that just anyplace....they are very rare at those stunning prices....... the bridges are reliable......there is nothing wrong with their designs. They do the job and they do it well.

What's up, bro! I have the Eart Explorer 1 set to be delivered Tuesday. I am so stoked because of all the hype these guitars are given. I watched other videos on these guitars and one dude said that the top was Not an actual veneer, instead, it was a photo finish. Can you tell if it is indeed a veneer?

Out of box it was unplayable. The truss took quite a few turns to get the action high enough to play and the bridge saddle heights had to be almost maxed.

Sir , my only concern with these guitars is what are they like in DROPPED tunings? since about 2019 the company "NK" have stepped up their game and now produce some stunning headless guitars at about $650 for a 7 string headless. The 6 strings start at about $420 each........which is a lot more than EART at about $320 thx C

The website itself claims that the guitar is excellent for heavy gauge strings. It comes with 10's installed, I have 11's on mine tuned to C# standard and occasionally drop to B. Honestly I am not sure light gauge strings will work terribly well. Even with the stock 10s I had a tough time getting the action high enough for my liking. Clearly it's a neck that loves tension.

It’s too good to be true but it’s true!

knowing how the Steinberger tremolo is (this looks exactly the same albeit with slightly different features) I would NEVER trust that trem system as the locking features are just known to eventually break which is unfortunate. Dive only Floyd styles (2 point top loader trem) I think would bode well with headless axes so long as the metal is high quality, we all know how floyd specials are... Hardtail headless are rad though and I love the one I have and plan to get more.

Gotta say, the only guitar design that I think actually looks right without a headstock on it is the Steinberger. Also I'm not really a fan of the body shape that they gave this. HOWEVER, it's still a highly shreddable well made instrument that sounds good, has a great price, and looks like it'd be a lot of fun to play, so for that reason alone I could see myself buying one.

I had a guitar using a similar bridge to the hardtail once. I hated it. Nearly impossible to do a quick tuning tweak mid song. And god forbid you drop that little Allen key on a dark stage. No tuning system should require anything but your fingers. I've never had a guitar with that style of trem like the blue one, but it looks like a better design to me. You can probably tweak tuning without the little magnetized Allen key if you need to, and even if you can't, at least it is in a "ready for action" position.

The best guitars I own are a pain in the ass to replace the strings too: the luthier designed his own locking trem even before the Floyd Roses and Khalers began to spread, the fine tuners are at the nut, but this really massive bell-brass trem system brings even a better sustain than a LesPaul (!) and you nearly never break strings, so, if you use strings that really last long e.g. the Optima or Elixir ones, well, it's not uncommon my strings set stay for several years on a guitar (OK, I own about 30 guitars, so there is low pressure on the strings as long as you cleanse these after playing). Any way, if you use an instrument in concert, you always purchase at least two... And I'm speaking about guitars that costed 50% more than the most expensive ne Fender from the Custom Shop in the 80's, if not near the double... Thus, from what I hear, although these don't sound bad and the ergonomics seems nice, these guitars don't seem to produce the kind of huge larger thzn life sound I'm accustomed to I get from boutique hyper high end guitars, but, for sure, considering how cheap they are, it's impressive and the compact-sound might be very valuable if you're in a 2 guitars metal band and you're complementing a mahogany guitar... Now it can come from cheap pickups but... I tend to not really have feelings for guitars that sound as compressed, I mean, if I want this, well, I have a tube compressor Stompbox with a circuit highly inspired from the LA2 studio compressor and I also own a Dynacomp, so... But if you look for a metalhead guitar, which, I agree, is not really the kind of sounds I'm in for, it seems to be a very interesting thing... I wouldn't be too surprised if these are made in Indonesia, in other terms, at the Cort factory, and very likely... In the same part of the factory that produces the Strandberg guitars : the Strandbergs are expensive and thus they sell less... You won't let the employees do nothing, so... let's produce de-branded Strandbergs...
