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.

Love this guitar! Relatively inexpensive and a great value. I use it for my travel guitar and tuning is easy and very stable. Looks good, plays nice and well balanced. Some have complained about the pick-ups but they're not an issue for me. But easy to swap out if you want.

After all the (mostly positive) reviews I've watched on Eart guitars, I really wanted to give one a try. I'm also a fan of headless guitars. This one did not disappoint. Quality is excellent. Perfect fret work, no high spots, super polished. The pickups claim to be 57+ Classic PAFs. They sound surprisingly good, if a tiny bit dark and mellow. Neck feels good. The only nit to pick is the bridge tuners. They work and stay in tune well but are a bit fiddly to tune up. I actually cut off a piece of hex wrench and attached a knob so I have a better tool to turn the tuners (better than the mini crank they provide). Adjusting intonation is also tricky because you have to detune and lift up the string to get to the right screws. However, you're presumably not adjusting intonation all that often so not a big deal. I bought this as an Prime Day Lightning Deal. For what I paid, this guitar is easily worth the money and a great bargain. While I definitely have too many guitars (is that possible???), this one is fun and a pleasure to play.

Overall, this is a great guitar for the price and for someone like me who has never played a headless guitar, it is a great and relatively inexpensive way to find out if it works for me. I picked out the color black and right out of the box it looks great and aside from tuning it, I was off and rocking on my first test flight. Weight, finish, style are all very nice - fret work is fantastic and no sprout at all. I watched several reviews of headless guitars - sometimes two and three times - to find the best value and style. The pitting on the body is nice and the back looks & feels so fine. Also, my son is interested in buying a Strandberg and even though the Strandberg is in a league of its own, this EART will give him the feel of a headless guitar. The bridge & saddle system is unique and will take a little getting used to, but I like it so far. As many reviewers said, I agree, this is an excellent guitar for checking out the headless guitar market without breaking the bank. I would have rated a 5, but the guitar arrived 3 days late and you have one big box with no padding or reinforcement whatsoever for the other box which contains the guitar. But I have to say, even though there were some bumps & tears on the outer box, the guitar got through shipping unscathed.
