EART HEADLESS GUITAR - The PERFECT BLEND of MODERN and TRADITIONAL

[@kingrein5780]

Thanks for posting the review Guitar Max! I purchased mine (same color as the one you reviewed) back in March, 2021 and I am still digging it. I like the way my wireless transmitter folds away in the cavity under the bridge. I did a review (kind of lame) as well, where you can see the body difference and compared it in size to a Gibson LP Std and a Fender American Strat. Agree 100% that this is a great value for the money and it is a good introductory guitar for folks who are interested in checking out headless guitars.

[@igorb7426]

omg, she is soo good! in your hands, Max

[@Scottsguitarplayground]

I just ordered a black one, can't wait to get it!!! Great videos Max!!!

[@Scottsguitarplayground]

@jade marks Mine showed up a little less than perfect. It had some frets that stuck out, and it was not the color I ordered. Eart’s Ebay customer service was not cool about it either. To get the correct guitar they wanted me to pay for shipping to send the guitar they sent me back, AND, pay for shipping of the correct guitar. So, they’re dead to me. I’ve decided to gut the guitar and make it better. Look up Eart GW2 Upgrades here on KZbin and you’ll find my video series of how I’m making the guitar better.

[@jonathanchaney6140]

That intro solo was amazing! Got a sub

[@jeffleecust]

My 10 y/o daughter is about to graduate from her short scale starter guitar, thinking something like this with great features but in a smaller lighter ergonomic package. She’s a rocker too so it not being traditional is a plus.

[@MusicalMetaddicta]

I love that playing

[@michaelsmith9544]

Just got the same one. Biggest flaw? Slight buzz on low E. Everything else was spot on. $369 now. I really like the bridge. Stays in tune. Beats tuning pegs all day. Restringing was fast and painless. If you're on the fence I say take a chance. dropped some EMG pickups(ZW) in it and it's brilliant.

[@Antoniolovesjesus]

Can you take this guitar as a carry on in flights

[@michaelsmith9544]

@@Antoniolovesjesus most airlines allow it. However, it must fit in the overhead or beneath the seat. Since the guitar is basically travel size, it boils down to the room in overhead or underneath as to if it will work or not. I do not know those dimensions or if they vary by plane type.

[@KeithDautrich]

Hi Max - comment on the bridge for this guitar - it is in respects similar to the Babickz style trems that are aftermarket replacements for strats or any other guitar that uses a strat style mount. setup is almost the same as the Babickz which uses the different allen screws as the string height along with a locking screw for that saddle. I installed two units last year on two different guitars with the same result. No tuning issue or playability issues either. Both of those trems stayed in tune with no string binding or slippage. If you can successfully setup a Babickz bridge then you can do the same with the Eart bridge. I know these bridges go against the traditional mechanics but man do the work! Have yourself a great day & Kepp on Rockin'!!!

[@gregsguitartone]

Great job. The pickups are probably Artec because they use them a lot. Love my EARTs.

[@FroL_Onn]

[@twowaymuir]

I have the earlier body version of this guitar in the blue color and I think it's a beautiful guitar. I like the way it looks and it plays like a dream. Took a few days to get used to it not having a headstock there for reference but as far as the bridge goes I like that it it stays in tune better than any other guitar I have ever touched. I have the hardtail version. I would recommend this guitar to anybody that wants a great playing guitar and the pickups are pretty good especially if you use the tone control to get the sound you want I find that rolling the tone knob back a bit is my preference otherwise generally a little brighter than I like. Hard to find a better bang for your buck than this guitar. It's shorter than other guitars because it doesn't have the headstock. Very comfortable and it has 24 stainless steel frets and when you bend your strings it's as slick as could be.

[@darkewind56]

I have the same guitar and couldn't agree with you more. Great bang for the buck.

[@missiontotransition641]

I was looking at these on Amazon. $369. One of my all time favorite players, Buck Dharma of BOC plays a headless. I always thought them as weird. But, now, i think they look pretty cool. I would want one w/ Floyd.

[@Razrback]

Me myself I'm old school love the look of a headstock

[@MeditateRelaxYoga]

I got the headless Eart and I actually like it better in many ways than many high end brands like Gibson and PRS. The neck and fretboard and fretwork is as good as any guitar I´v tried. Not the greatest tuning stability, but playability is up there with guitars that cost way more than the price of a Eart. The sound is really good as well, i would describe it as a very modern type sound that takes effects and lots of gain great, but with the warmness of a vintage humbucker, also the neck and bridge are well balanced so you dont have to readjust the amp when switching pickups. However, the bridge tremolo is cheap, its ok for use at home, but not something you would gig with. Love the SS frets, on ordinary frets I get this annoying scratching when doing heavy vibrato, I do not get this on these SS frets. It is a Stratocaster scale length neck and comes equipped with 10 strings, which feels suprisingly good, but I might go for 9.5 strings as I usually prefer 9 on strats and 10s on Gibsons.

[@robertlucas9867]

I thought about buying this to mod some and use at home for extended practice but I also wanted fanned/multi scale 7 string and the website shows they don’t make them with multi scale. It sucks you can’t find a headless multi scale 7 string below $1000. The few I did was new companies that disappeared after awhile. I can’t even find guitar kits to build one.

[@steveweilhart2359]

They also have a compound radius neck - flattens out at the 12th fret - FYI

[@brianhenderlong6186]

I like mine a lot. One thing is that the neck at the nut gets wider so you know where the end of the neck is with out falling off the end. You are right it is very resonant. It feels like I'm home when playing it.

The body and the dark wood in the neck is African Padauk according to Earts website.

How low does your action have to be to do all the tapping/pull-offs that you do. They sound great.

[@crazymonkeydude10]

Got the trem version on the day you released this video. The setup out if the box is unbelievable. Lowest action I e ever had on any guitar and I usually get my guitars set up at the music shop. The trem is kinda garbage however. Can't figure out how to get it to float properly. It cant divebomb at all its like the opposite of a traditional trem. It'll pull WAAAAYYYY back but it won't dive very far. Other than that everything you said about it is true. The neck feels better than my friends prs and schecter guitars. It's unbelievable how well made it is for the price!

[@app6336]

Get a TransTrem instead!

[@jonathanstrand2474]

Quality control issues, I just received my first, trem version, sending it back today, defective bridge, & or installation, missing a set screw for a saddle, bridge is crooked, the rear portion of the immobile half of the trem pivot plate system treble side has 3/16” gap below a screw that should be holding it flush with the body, so the bridge is tilted down .towards the bass side, the Allen key for intonation is inaccessible as a result, and all the sliders were loose. The trem lock did not fix the trems position completely, likely because everything on the bridge was misaligned or damaged from a hurried install or bad part Otherwise the wood/joints frets and fretboard were excellent and clean, overall construction is great, it was set up to play, good action but then the saddle popped up & out and the sliders changed position& began to move around, the tremolo spring was wound very tight, to make up for the broken trem lock lever it seemed to me, I was just exploring it when everything went haywire as the saddle pooped out. Caution to anyone buying, bridge is aluminum, the set screw for intonation also seems to be, or a very soft metal, the Allen key could not be inserted, due to crooked bridge or install, the Allen set screws on the bridge saddles are brass, but I plan to get a brass replacement for the intonation set screw too. if you were to over tighten this set screw it would likely strip the female threads in the main bridge body, and ruin it. It could possibly be remachined with a larger set screw however. This bridge requires a gentle touch, changing string gauges and re intonation over and over is risky, the more you do, the more likely the set screw will strip the bridge, or the Allen head because it’s such soft metal, tools are same soft stuff, I’ll get replacements, theirs won’t last, and could damage the bridge set screw. Once everything is locked down, it looks durable, the brass saddles and rollers are well made, overall a good design, but materials are suspect, brass would be better for the main body of the bridge. But overall, I’m not sorry at this price point, just a bad apple, it happens……the neck feels especially nice. Can’t wait for the replacement to arrive!🙂

[@rabokarabekian409]

One reviewer turned the string changing process into a comedy routine due to it being so tricky to get the strings under the double balls that hold each string. He showed easily you can lose your balls if you desperately back the locking screws completely out. Many people are not a fan of the separate crank black tuner/saddle like this one. Everybody loves the PRO version saddle with brass tuning barrels.

I have the first version, with a more Strandberg cut, but I confess this one isn't too bad just ... slightly odd shaped upper and lower horns. At least they tried to "move away" from a pure clone shape. My only disappointment is the lack of space to plug a wirelles cable emitter into the jack. Given the cost/value, I might enlarge the area there for my Line 6 firestarter. This headless turned out to be more workable then the v1 Dullahan from HB. And that's a surprise. Just be gentle with the bridge.
