Eart Guitar Deep Dive

[@PhillipMcKnight]

The weight of this guitar was 7.9 LBS. Sorry it didn't get in the final cut. Im firing the editor. lol

LMAO

Thanks Phil! You are the best!

Lol. Ive got a identical harley benton if you'd like to compare the two. I live in the area too.

[@jpmillman1]

As always, very pleasant to watch, tons of great information, a calm and friendly voice, very relaxing. But not telling the weight of the guitar.. death sentence for sure! :D

[@davidtguitar]

@@Yeroc_MC also very curious about that comparison

[@RPSchonherr]

I love the bass response on your amp.

[@joequintana5546]

Damn it! I wish I hadn't seen this video. Now I want one.

[@mailvilla]

04/26/2023: I bought one in white, and I love it. The only thing that I would have liked more would be rolled edges on neck wood. Nope, the wood edge is not rolled as some people say it is. Also, the rounded "bullet shaped" fret wire ends actually hurt my first finger. The bullet shaped fret wire ends are too high (need to be angled downward like all other guitars). And, they are too bumpyish and thumpyish (are they real words?). Yup, I feel this painful bump/thump, bump/thump, bump/thump as my hand travels up/down neck. But, I can fix that with a jeweler's file myself. It will then be a great guitar matching the $1,000.00 guitars.

[@Hickalum]

It’s not difficult to roll the neck yourself … Clamp the neck to your work-bench, aka coffee table and roll away with a suitable tool, I use a bone pick … take your time and don’t push too hard.

[@wildesage4172]

Jesus Christ. $400. I'm flabbergasted by the spec list, it just keeps getting better but the price stays the same. Even the little things like 21:1 tuners, shielding paint, mechanical switch.. also a secret black-market Epiphone jack! Lol. Just incredible features for the price. What a beast of a mod platform.

[@johns3527]

I have the same guitar. I love the neck! I plan to change the pickups. Installed locking tuners and Wilkinson locking saddles. This guitar plays better than all my fenders and very close to my Tom Anderson and suhr. I’m enjoying this guitar very much.

[@jeffleecust]

I got a Censtar guitar that looks exactly like that with everything the same down to the tuners. I have 1 string tree but it’s a roller. Mine is also a hardtail. Other than that, frets, woods, color, pickups, switch, neck, trussrod, body carves, everything is the same. I got it for $199.

[@timlittle1083]

Best tech assessments I've encountered on KZbin. Well done, Phil.

Phil... I've quit other podcasts JUST because your content is FAR superior... you ACTUALLY talk about guitar and guitar related stuff. What a concept!? But you also seem like a cool dude, one of us!!!... one of us!!!... just wiser, lol.

[@jayz6008]

I really appreciate your honesty , I love your channel . Everyone else praises it and has nothing bad to say

[@tmartin6717]

Phillip, thank you so much for your first EART review. Because of you, I got an EART Tele, thinking I would remove the neck for a project guitar. But.... it seemed like a good guitar aside from the pickups, and it became a test bed to try Kinman "noiseless" pickups. The EART (with some action work) and Kinman combination was fantastic, worthy of any gig I ever played. That led to another EART (strat), and more Kinmans. Now, I have 5 EART's with various Kinman pickups, and they are as playable and enjoyable as my core PRS's.

[@kryssben7974]

Cheap guitar quality is becoming incredibly good over the years, that a good example ! Thanks for this deep dive Phillip

[@louistraini3287]

I have the EART non-trem headless & it's great. I don't know what it is about the neck, but it's one of my favorites. These guitars are absolutely worth the money.

[@marshallohio5512]

Had wife wood burned wildlife sceneries on my Eart 335 .. She was unsure in doing so, but i convinced her since the guitar was free . The guitar arrived with a slight nicked on a single fret wire where Eart not only sent me a fret wire replacement, but refunded the price of guitar. I emailed Eart Support with Pic of nicked fret wire in requesting a preshaped replacement, and mentioned in no need of refund . Eart replied that it's okay 👍 Therefore, i ended up in purchasing a gold 😊T380 .

[@morrisonreed1]

Thanks for showing the neck specks ,so many dont

Thanks, I just adjusted the trem bar allen, didn't even know it had one after 4 months...DOH !

That headdstock is the same as Bax Music own in house guitar called the Fazley Phynica. They also have roasted neck,bone nut,Wilkinson tremelo,locking tuners all for less than 150GBP.check them out.

[@gregperkins7723]

I have been through more guitars since getting "restarted playing" 4 years ago. Gibson Custom Shops, Fender Custom Shops and probably 30 others in between. My Eart "335" is hands down the best playing (and maybe sounding) guitar I have run across yet. It is what I pickup and feel like I can play anything on. Now on a PRS kick but this Eart 335 is staying with me. It is my always on a stand beside me guitar. Full disclosure, I also bought the Eart NK-C1 Tele. FANTASTIC quality and feel but it never grabbed me by the nuts like their 335 does. If I wasn't headlong into PRS now I would get one of these. Always love your vids! Thanks!

[@maspesasmasperras5554]

[@michaelmillican5592]

Thank you for this video. I have an Eart guitar 335 style. In my experience, Eart is making better quality instruments than many others. The price is way too low for what you get. If only we had access to these during the 80s and 90s.

[@pa-james9220]

It's very important for learner guitars to sound good and are fun to play.

[@stevesutton563]

Eart. Best bang for the buck out ther.

[@justinforder2835]

Thanks - great review. At 8:37 you point out that they are not shielding the inside of the pickup cavity - but that looks like a shielded cable coming from inside the pickup's metal case, so I don't think additional shielding is necessary. They have shielded the control cavity, where there is plenty of unshielded wiring.

[@scottstanley8370]

I have the same guitar and I am very happy with the quality of the construction. I bought the Dmx-10 model then bought one more. Someone needs to demo the dmx model because it is an amazing instrument.

[@Gene_Cali]

I was able to purchase from Eart, 3, pre-stainless steel guitars. A Jem style, a Ibby SL style, and Custom Les Paul style. All are great guitars with minor flaws. My NKC-1 was perfect and it's my tele of choice. The foundries that makes steel parts for most guitars are in this area. Thanks for your channel.

[@maspesasmasperras5554]

You're welcome

[@myopicautisticmetal9035]

The guitar looks fantastic! Those sniffers are seething.

[@mickeymessstudios109]

INFO- Squier 40th Anniversary Strat PRM (Metallic Red) purchased at Thomann - I was so excited and looking forward but I had to send it back !!! (I am a 1984 Graduate GIT and seen a couple guitars over the years) Man was I looking forward to this guitar, especially after seeing some KZbin reviews on this. Here is why I sent mine back. 1. The GOOD - visually pleasing, beautifully packed, a laquered neck (which I love) which feels fantastic, out of the box playable but with string setup too high. 2. The BAD - light but noticable scratches on neck at 1st fret by nut on both sides, (saddle) string height control screws of bridge were like razor blades and thus unplayable, the 3 piece body construction is visible through the beautiful paint (!!!), Fret buzzing and uneven frets detected with Fret Rocker at at lease 4 different places (I accustomed the guitar to the studio for 3 days), 3 very light but clearly visible "dents" of paint job next to pick guard. Last but not least, it felt and sounded "cheap", "trashy" unplugged, and below expectations plugged through amp. I LOVED the feel of the neck, that laquer finished fender type neck felt SO good. If I could purchase that neck independantly I would - and pay a luthier for a refret. I SO much wanted to love and keep this guitar and my expectations were able to pardon some of the shortfalls, but this was really over the top let down. What kind of feedback have you heard or seen from the marketplace ? So my best option is to upgrade my 2009 Squier Affinity which plays and feels a dream. Every note up and down that neck plays and rings beautiful. The Graph Tech saddles replacement corrected the bridge razor blade problems on that one. Just need a pickup or condensor upgrade ?

[@ChrisEck13]

I'm very curious about the Epiphone parts. Please let us know if you find out what's going on with the Epiphone parts.

[@raynunez6027]

Just ordered this exact one last night. It’s currently 279 if anyone is interested. I’ve been wanting a t style guitar and a guitar w/ a roasted neck for a couple of years now and was looking at all the major brands but I didn’t want to spend the money and possibly have to change something later. Then Harley benton has their fusion t which looks great in the picture and actually comes with better specs then eart, but it’s close to $80 for shipping and I’ve seen videos lately where there are a lot of qc issues. Plus I really really don’t like the Roswell pickups and these eart pickup’s actually sound ok to me. Hopefully I’m happy with it. If not, it should be easy to ship back since it’s from Amazon 😅

[@rogerowens5669]

I want to give a big shout out to you Phil first of all you got me to wear I'm not afraid to work online guitars but the real pluses is that you're not running everything through a computer you actually taking the time to use a real amp and Mic it up. You know how it is KZbin this days you can't trust any review yours I am fairly confident with❤

[@scottstanley8370]

The design of the bridge is also very impressive. Pinch points are elevated with contours to the form of the string making string break uncommon. I see no need to replace anything involving the bridge however it would hold tune with a trem routing and locking tuners.

[@imnotthatguy4765]

I totally agree with your initial impressions, I thought the same thing when I got my Explorer from them. The frets were the nicest of anything I had ever played, action was great. The problem is after about 6 months I picked the guitar up and suddenly I had dead notes all over the fretboard, quite literally 60% of the notes were suddenly dead out of nowhere. Being in the northeast it's not super uncommon for necks to move and it happens all the time with my other guitars so I checked relief and spot on. Saddles were good. I had used a fret rocker on it when I got it and everything was perfect across the board. To my surprise all of a sudden the fret rocker was tapdancing down the neck. I was like wtf happened? I had literally played it 2 days earlier and it was perfect. So I inspected further to figure out what was going on, looking at the neck from the side I could literally see daylight between the fret and the fretboard at the edges. Some on the bass side, some on the treble side, and some on both. Some of them were so high off the fretboard that I could slide 2 sheets of standard printer paper under it. I would guess that you are totally correct in how they do the hemispherical fret ends, I just happened to get one where the frets were either not properly secured when pressed in, or the neck twisted just enough to dislodge them but not enough to see just looking at it. I tried to use a fret hammer to re-seat them but to no avail, the frets would not stay down. A good fret press to do it myself is 60% of the cost of the guitar, and I'm sure it probably wouldn't be cheap to have a reputable Luthier fix it. I now have a guitar that any intermediate or pro player would deem unplayable. It's absolutely beautiful luckily, so at least it looks nice hanging on my wall. It's so frustrating, because it was genuinely incredible until this happened. I was in the process of filming and editing my first guitar review on it because I was so pleased with it. I ended up not posting it because all of what I said in the video would have no longer been accurate based on my experience. So it has hung on the wall for almost a year looking pretty. I'd be genuinely curious if others have had this happen to them as well, or if I was just unlucky lol.

[@gathda]

I've had my Eart Explorer for exactly one year and so far the frets are fine. Some of my other Earts are older and they are fine, too. I'm hoping it remains that way, but it looks like you may have gotten one where they failed to glue in the frets. I live in Oregon and the weather is much milder here than where you live, so that may have something to do with it. I have a fret clamp, so I should be able to fix them if it happens. My Explorer is beautiful, too, and I'd hate to see anything happen to it.

[@666dreamboat]

very cool of you to comment this ty

[@Miloshe71]

What about reaching out for a new neck?

[@imnotthatguy4765]

@@Miloshe71 Great question. Being outside of the return policy by 5 months, I felt it unreasonable to ask the company for the replacement. I've tossed around the idea of just posting the video with an addendum to discuss the issues and see if they reach out to amend the situation I'll know they are truly above and beyond. I did however find it interesting that they stopped selling the Explorer-1 on Amazon shortly after this happened so I couldn't even post a review on there, which would have maybe made a difference at that time. Being someone who has had generally terribly luck, I wouldn't be surprised if I just got a dud. I just want to make sure people are aware it does happen so if it happens to them they know it wasn't just them. Also felt this was a great platform to see if anyone else has faced the same problem.

Contact the manufacturer and get them to replace the guitar.

[@rosieotis]

Love the bite of the Pure Tone jacks too. However, I used one on a Duo Sonic and it wasn’t great mounted into the guard. The plastic did not like the tight hold. It would flex pretty bad when you’d yank the cable out.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Gibson and Epiphone should consider taking tips from Eart in terms of creating a coil split that doesn’t sound like a defect in the output jack. I think all the other manufacturers have left Gibson in the dust on that front. Could it be that tension caused by the 2 string retainers is influencing the tuning stability when you use the vibrato bar? My mentor never liked it when guitar strings changed direction after crossing the nut..

[@thedobermans]

Another thing that improves a cheaper guitar's sound is upgrading the saddles. Most of them come with a very light saddle made of pot metal. For about 10 to 20 dollars, you can get solid brass machined saddles which add lots of sustain and reinforce the tone of the guitar.

[@RocktCityTim]

Puretone in ALL of my axes! First mod I do.

[@BartholomewCounty]

I'm starting my own line of guitars. The hardest thing was to think of the name to put on the headstock. Everything I thought of had been taken, until I found one that was too good to be true and it seems to be available. I'm not going to reveal the name yet, but it will be easy to pronounce and it has six letters just like Fender, Gibson and Martin. It sounds a bit Latin so hopefully it will be popular in all of the Western hemisphere and parts of Europe. I've owned businesses before and I know that the number one rule of success is: "Don't make crap and don't sell crap." Every guitar will be checked by more than one tech. Wish me luck.

[@wtp5]

It is easy to polish frets after they are installed and sanded to height just in case. Done it many times. Just mask off the wood.

[@cc5053]

I'd just like to say how much I appreciate your no nonsense approach to sound testing guitars. Some reviewers run the signal through so much software they could stretch a fishing line across a wooden broom handle and it would sound like David Gilmour's live rig. Your method is much more realistic and useful.

[@Harrysound]

I had a PRS SE from 2009. Those ones with a flat top, no coil splits, no locking tuners etc. generally not great. I painted it, sanded in some curves, locking tuners, Seymour Duncan JB and a dimarzio cruiser, matte white finish , nitrocellulose and now it’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Very cool. Did you use spray cans? I know Stew Mac has all kinds of stuff in cans. I’m not sure if they actually have nitro lacquer in a can… Or if that’s even a thing.

[@Harrysound]

@@JohnnyArtPavlou I just used some Plastic Primer and some other white primer I had laying around then some regular furniture spray for the top coat before the nitrocellulose.

[@toneranger]

The G&L has pickup covers, euch 😅 Gimme the flush design anyday Eart should be paying you, never heard of them until your review here Philip, now I'll be getting one. Shame there's no fixed bridge string through option.

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

I am still blown away by my headless GW2 Eart and it has become my go to guitar when ever I have spare time to play. I do think that I'm going to try a Seymore Duncans Hot Rodded humbucker set in it, not becuase I don't like the pups in it right now, but only becuase I happen to have a set I found for a great price.

[@rca3rd]

My like was for the Supersonic 22

[@coreycann9639]

Guitar prices are weird. You can get something now for $150 that is amazing but not ten years ago when a Gibson faded special sg used was only $399. I bought my Gibson sg special faded for only $350 at guitar center in 2018 but a $300 guitar brand new was garbage at the same time. I’m glad we can get cheap guitars nowadays that are great but it really sucks that fender and Gibson really inflated the hell out of their prices since 2020

[@joeblankenship377]

Hmmm. I've been pining for a Charvel so-cal Tele with the roasted maple neck and the splittable humbuckers. But I see Eart has something similar for less than half the price. Not bad.

[@ericnelson966]

I bought just bought one of those output jacks from sweet water. I can’t wait to try it out!

Very Cool, Thankyou for your in depth Review/Demo. Awesome Cheers

[@johnsaggese-wx6ln]

I notice you pointed out the Epiphone branded output jack. I have the Eart LP style guitar and noticed the tailpiece is branded Epiphone and I suspect the bridge is an Epiphone lock-tone because it is identical to, and interchangeable with one on a Epiphone.

[@daleturner3507]

Have to admit it’s pretty impressive for the cost. I really like the coil split bridge sound. A set of pickups and a set up and you’re still not to a MIM Tele and you got SS frets and other options. Still impressive!

[@jamesgibson3242]

Nice looking guitar. Color is cool.

[@wagonet]

[@GuitarAnus8]

[@Barbarapape]

I have an Eart E-3S that i bought as open box but never played. It was good out of the box, with no fret issues, but like this one it needed a setup to bring the action down to a comfortable height. Fingers crossed it is still good after two years in a very variable climate here in the UK. Eart make some good guitars, but like any brand some samples are not so great.

[@thestratman7903]

I've had an EART for over a yr and I was happy with everything BUT the pickups as well...They just have a harsh ceramic tone that doesn't lend itself to dynamic playing at all.

[@sunn_bass]

Those EART guitars look really nice. How budget guitars have come over the years is amazing.

[@fighterx4133]

Not one regret buying my eart. It was 180 at the time I bought it and it's still the guitar I grab the most day to day.

[@gtr1952]

My ears perked up when you mentioned the tuner ratio, 21:1. More 'budget' tuners tend to have a lower ratio. (eg12:1). It also looked to have a nylon washer between the button and gear case, another good sign of better quality. Rounding and nipping fret ends is a great process improvement! Are they listening to us in these reviews? A big YES I'm thinking!! I'm a little like Phil in that I buy/save maybe even hoard pups!! LOL Also HQ parts! This one might be good enough to refit for gigging use!! I hope the US big_3 are paying attention!! Great review Phil!! I may have a go at this model!! 8) --gary

[@stevemyers2092]

thanks for the breakdown - as i said below looking for a lefty tele good copy - would buy one of these over the rest based on that neck alone - but a few changes and like you said - worth the base that you have to work from - Stainless Frets are a bonus for that $$.

[@mic2261]

First off,..I love your reviews! Great job! I just received a T-380 and agree with and love just about everything about this guitar. However, 2 things I noticed is that the bridge plate rested on the body, and did not free float. That was just a simple claw adjustment to make the bridge plate float parallel with the body and float smoothly. The thing that I find inexcusable is that the neck is very flat, borderline convex, and and even after loosening the truss rod Till it has no pressure on the neck, and put in a humidity controlled room at 50% humidity, it has not moved in a day. I even tried the old “put downward pressure on the neck physically” and it does not move or give at all. Needless to say, I’m going to return this one and have ordered a second one to see if there is any difference. I’ll let you know what happens. Q; Did you find that there was ZERO give to the neck? Do you feel it’s because it’s been “roasted” , finally does it feel like it came shipped with 10 gauge strings on it? Any feedback would be really appreciated. (I’m sure you have thousands of comments to read through) Sincerely, Mike

[@TheBentNote]

I feel like EART is inching towards what other brands like Sire are trying to be, super value packed, mid range priced guitars. Best way to make people excited about buying lesser known brands is packing it with insane features for cheap and decent QC. I like what Eart is doing. I’m hoping they can keep stepping it up

I'm a lil confused, since Eart doesn't seem to offer the T-380 on their website. Edit: seems like Eart calls it the TL-380, but every other website seems to call it the T-380. Far as I can tell they're the same guitar, tho I haven't looked into it exhaustively.

[@cgr88m]

I find that buying a used guitar is the better option, you can find some mid range guitars with 300$ in pickups and hardware for $400-$600. My first strat was Chinese for $199 after having it setup,fret job, nut, tuners, new pups, pots, switch and Jack it went from 199 to $750. Plays and sounds amazing but after that i stopped buying cheap new guitars and started buying expensive guitars for cheap lol

[@diecaverna]

Amazing guitars! I sold my Suhr Strat and I bought 3 EARTS BUT I change pups guys Suhr Aldrich, Thornbucker and SSV and now they sound amazing! I don’t miss my Suhr guitars at all! They are overpriced anyway 🤦‍♂️

[@Metro_Gnome]

I was probably the first person to guinea pig eart waaayy back almost three four years ago now ...there were literally under five reviews per guitar but the headless ones had some amazon acclaim so I pulled the trigger. Oh my god. My first guitar was a damn Stratacoustic for $299 back in the early 2000s. I got the eart for $230 + some duties, and it's literally my #2 favourite guitar (after some mods) and I have a large collection of Japanese and Korean Ibanez guitars that don't feel as loose as this...maybe it's the weight but I love my eart Strat. Yeah it's silly to compare a Stratacoustic to anything but ...that's what fender used to be like in the low middle range. Squiers of the time we're literally unplayable by anyone short of Tommy E

[@Metro_Gnome]

It's funny too ..I replaced the tuners with Chinese locking tuners on mine but I made absolutely sure the tuning pegs were exactly the same as the stock ones becasue....they feel SO GOOD on your fingers... These guys man...they've optimized this process. If you can spot and level out the one or two high frets it's literally no maintenance after that.

[@lukedwelly]

Hello, Phil, Would there be a Squier or lower prices Fender which you might be able to recommend for pro or semi-pro use, that might be able to stand up to the rigours of the road, but would also prove to be a good foundation for some mild custom work (budgeting for a pickup swap/electronics upgrade)?! It really is the quality of the woodwork/construction that would be most important and doesn't necessarily have to be from the Fender stable, but if it was "Fender-ish", that would be wonderful. I was hoping to put some nice Humbuckers (HH) or Soapbar (SS) pickups in it. Thank-you, for your time, Luke.
