Weight in the hands: Heavier than I thought, feels very solidSound on the built in amp: Very nice! Sounds like a decent amp, built right in.Sound off the built in amp: Haven't tested yet - this was bought specifically because of the built in ampLooks: GREAT! I really love the look and feel of this guitar.Battery life: I'm told 6-8 hours from a full charge. Haven't tested it personally.Setup: Install an app, push a few buttons. A few choices, enough to do the job.My husband has had this guitar everywhere in our home and outside of it as well since it arrived. It's beautiful, sounds fantastic, and it's brought us both a lot of joy. Our home was devastated by a hurricane last year and we lost a lot of music equipment. It's been hard for him to play in the way he likes as a result. To give some back story, he's been wanting a nice guitar with a built in amp for years. The only one we could find was about 2k in California. Then he saw ads for this, we did some investigation and research, and bought this one. It's about 25% of the price and he absolutely loves it. We may add some other Enya guitars to his collection in the future, since he found out one of them has a built in looper. Of course, they could just give us a looper in the app for this one and that would be fantastic. But yes, we're happy with the purchase. My husband gives it a 5/5 star review.

Enya Electric Guitar Nova Go review by Charles Parkerson9/30/2024This is an amazing guitar for the right person. In short, I feel that it is entry level in nature but crafted like a guitar costing much much more. It is very refreshing to see this kind of instrument available. I am a 72 year old and have been playing guitar since 1964. This is my third purchase from Enya. I have a substantial collection of guitars and amps accumulated during my years of playing both personally and professionally.• The neck is perfect, the frets are flawless, better than Squier Affinity ($250.00) and Gibson!• The pickups are adequate for the guitars price point. The split coil function is great!• All switches and pots are apparently high quality and are very smooth and solid feeling.• I have yet to plug into an amp because I feel that would defeat the purpose.• The tuning keys are better than most Asian guitars. I am very happy with them.• The sounds are impressive for players in the beginning and semi-intermediate stages.• I got it in white and it is beautiful. My wife wants to hang it on the wall in the den.As you know, your main sonic competition are the Fender modelling amps with their internet support. I know that you will continually seek to improve and expand your target market to include seasoned players. In short, I think every beginner should have this model and I intend to recommend it to every beginner I encounter and to anyone who asks. Hopefully there will be an upgraded (understandably more expensive) version to offer to skilled players. I will tell others that this guitar should not be “left in the car” as many reviewers have stated. A beginner may not understand that sensitive electronics are susceptible to heat damage much like cell phones.I will have to return the guitar because I probably will not use it much only because of my background, This does not in any case reflect the quality of this instrument. I will probably end up with one of your acoustic guitars (which you CAN leave in the car).Recommendations:• Consider a joint venture with Bose. The sound difference would be immense. I’m sure the price would skyrocket.• The gig bag is great but not as good as the ½ size acoustic I got from you, but it’s fine.• Continue to improve on website for tone changes. This generation is adept with all things internet, but these are guitar players! The most beautifully irresponsible group bless them.Thank You,Charles Parkerson

Apologies, this is a long one. I would have made it shorter, but I didn't have time.I've owned and played six other carbon fiber and CF composite guitars: two Rainsong acoustics, two Enya acoustics, a Journey Instruments acoustic, and the Composite Acoustics Blade electric guitar. Plus the usual suspects in wood - Les Paul, Strat, Gretsch, Ibanez.Been playing the Blues for some 50 years. Retired and downsized, I play at home now and with friends. I do my own setups, luthier work, and modifications ... I know guitars.I've had the Enya Nova Go Sonic for a few weeks now. It's a fine instrument.It has an extremely confortable neck and body, good pickups, excellent fit and finish. The sustain is seemingly endless - typical of carbon fiber guitars.It stays in tune reasonably well. I play mine wirelessly to a multi-effects unit plugged into the clean channel of a good amp. Dial in whatever sound might move me at the moment. I like the freedom of that - being untehered from the amp. Heck, I can walk all over the house, and never have to step over a cord!Onboard Speaker - I don't use the onboard speaker all the time, but it sure has its place when I go out on the porch and noodle.The feedback IS there, but it's fine - you can eliminate it, tame it, or use it as a new type of distortion. The feedback completely disappears the instant you deaden the string(s). This opens up a new realm of sonic possibilites for accenting individual notes or chords within a song. I see this as an asset, not a problem.When plugged into an amp or headphones, the feedback doesn't occur since the guitar's onboard speaker is bypassed.Some random observations:The frets were a bit rough, so string-bending felt slightly scratchy. After doing a quick fret polish (it's easy, plenty of how-to vids out there), string bends are silky smooth now.The pickup selector knob tip loosened up with use - a dab of blue Loctite thread lock solved that.I lowered the saddle to its lowest setting, and now the action is perfect with no string buzz (I play fingerstyle).Heads-up: if you do adjust the saddle height, wrap the tip of your screwdriver with a small scrap of a single use plastic shopping bag - this prevents marring of the screwhead if the screwdriver's tip should slip.Fret level wasn't needed. Although several frets were marginally high, it's not enough to cause buzzing. Acceptable for me.Pickups were physically higher than I prefer, so I lowered them (use the pair of screws on each pickup, which are there for that purpose) until a volume balance is reached across the two pickups.Caution: do not wipe the guitar with isopropyl alcohol (it removed a bit of the black finish on my new Enya Nova Go acoustic guitar). Lesson learned. Soap and water and clean towel is all I use now on my Enya composite guitars (all of which are painted at the factory, by the way).I added a LP Gibson style pickguard using heavy duty double-sided tape (see photo). Helps support my pinky and looks kinda sharp. And a bit of automotive carbon fiber wrap (photo again) to add a touch of ... elegance. HaI found, like some other reviewer said, that because the Sonic's composite body is very smooth, it tends to slide aound on your leg when you play sitting down. I solved this by adding a strip of thin adhesive-backed rubber to the bottom curve of the lower bout (see photo) - this keeps the guitar nicely in place and makes me feel more connected to it now, more "one with the guitar" if you will.When all is said and done, I am a believer. I like this guitar. A lot.Let's give it its due: the Enya Nova GO Sonic is the FIRST widely available carbon fiber electric guitar to hit the mass market. The Blade was a good contender in 2008-2009, but less than 200 were ever made.Bottom Line - this axe is extremely comfortable to play, among the finest feeling guitars I've ever owned.And being made of sonically-engineered composite materials, it has a very clear, articulate sound. This makes it a very good platform for playing through pedals and an amp. Plus, you can upgrade the pickups at any time, although the stock ones are more than adequate.With the onboard speaker, this is an indoor-outdoor piece of gear. It's true capability as an outdoors electric guitar is found when you play it through a decent small battery-powered amp like the Boss Katana Mini or one of the Yamaha THR series amps, for example. Sonic heaven. It's also very stable, moving indoors and out, through sun and shade. Stability outdoors fares better than any other electric guitar I can think of.For the price, the Nova GO Sonic is a no-brainer.I can't wait to see what other composite electric guitars Enya and other guitar builders introduce in coming years. When high-tech materials, acoustic engineering, and creative designs come together - like they did here - it's a great time to be alive!
