EART Headless Electric Guitar GW2 fixed Bridge for 6 String Travel Guitar For Travel and Performance Right, Stainless Steel Frets,Black

I own a dozen guitars or so and have played for 40 years. This guitar is an amazing value.The highlight is the neck. The fretwork is SUPERB. Smooth ends up and down all 24 frets on both sides (high E and low E). The compound radius of the fretboard makes bending and chording (even chords up above the 15th fret!) effortless. These features are becoming more common features on guitars, most recently with the smooth rolled fretboards of Sire guitars. But here's the thing... the backside and overall thickness of the neck also changes throughout. The combination of all of these factors make it the best playing neck on a guitar that I own.The neck joint feels tight. It is very strange to play a guitar that is so stripped down that resonates so well. It's loud and full sounding. The access to upper frets is excellent and all notes are easily reachable even for big hands like mine.The bridge is unique. Lots of ways to adjust strings. It's resonant as well, surprisingly, given all of it's moving parts. Once your strings are stretched, action is set and the guitar is tuned up... it doesn't go out of tune. It just doesn't.The body is very ergonomic. This is something that I don't require but enjoy. You can play it in a normal resting on your thigh position or in a upwards position where the headstock is pointing at the sky (Hello, Ice Cream Man solo stretched licks!). The body is cut to accommodate both positions.The pickups are ok. May be a little mushy but that is to be expected at this price point. I will say that they are far better than I expected but I will still replace them at some point, probably with a set of Duncans that will cost more than half of the price of this guitar.The knobs were very good but a bit too tall for me so I replaced them with some strat knobs and that worked. The output jack is out of the way and angled up (all guitars should be like this?) so that your chord will head towards the strap end which helps facilitate the ol' chord tuckeroo.I got the blue-USA finish and the poplar wood veneer looks and feels cool.The guitar is an amazing value. Excellent neck in every way. How is this guitar so resonant?Perfect couch guitar. Perfect travel guitar. Pickups are ok but easily replaced with a Duncan Hot Rodded Humbucker Set or whatever.Overall, at this price-point... ?Wow.

Incredible guitar!! Already used it at practice and it sings. Fantastic construction and sounds full and crisp. This is gonna be my main guitar. Ultra lightweight. Bridge scared me at first but easy to use and adjust. Stays in tune like a rock.

I'm very impressed with this guitar. Fit and finish are very good. Set up well straight out of the box. I will do some tweaking of the set up later but I'm in no rush. That's pretty impressive for a guitar this cheap. Tuning stability seems to be very good. Tuning machine adjustments are very smooth with the provided wrench that is retained in the bridge by a magnet. I can tune it without using the wrench but it's tough and I have pretty strong hands.I like the neck pickup but the bridge is quite high output (>14K Ohms) which doesn't suit my style of music (soul and blues through hard rock like Led Zeppelin and AC/DC), but might suit a metal player. I plan to replace the pickups with cheap alnico II PAF style pickups and wire push-pull pots in volume and tone. One will give partial splits (PRS style) to both pickups and the other will reverse the phase of one of the pickups. That will give 9 different configurations. I spend a fair amount of time each year traveling for work and this should make an easy to transport guitar that is still versatile and comfortable.One of the big advantages to this guitar for me is that it's very comfortable to play in an armchair. Most guitars are not and the location of the output jack doesn't strain the jack or the cable. I have owned and quickly sold or returned a few different "travel" electric guitars because they were very awkward to play. This guitar has great ergonomics yet is compact enough to be a practical travel guitar.My only real gripe is that the case is sold separately and is quite expensive, though reviews seem to agree that it's a good quality case. I was holding off buying a case until I decided I was going to keep the guitar. Well, I'm keeping the guitar so I now I need to shell out for the case. Oh, well. Still happy with the purchase.
