It's funny to watch different reviews of this guitar and on many of them guys say the same thing about the built-in speaker: it feels like the sound is coming from somewhere in the room and not the tiny speaker. I can't wait until mine comes in so I can finally hear for myself.

you won't regret it promise. i only got nova go sp1 but i loved it. the playability is superb.

I've had this thing for about 6 months now, most of that time I spent abroad having only this one guitar at my disposal which I played almost every day. So far no notable wear and tear occurred. The speaker is indeed surprisingly good, although when playing on high gain, like I do, you will need to set the noise gate pretty damn high to avoid unwanted noises. The guitar itself is well made, evidently somebody put some thought into the design. My only gripe being that action needs to be pretty damn high to avoid string buzz -- tinkering with the truss rod did little to help. Overall for this price this is a damn good guitar that you can take with you everywhere you go.

@@michaostrowski6316really feedback! I’ve been on the fence on this one for some time. It’s not replacing my gear but seems something fast and easy no plugging in all the cables in the word etc. and easy to travel in.

Great option for a beginner!!! The ability to play an electric guitar and have access to different amps and pedals is great for someone early in their journey just starting to feel comfortable playing. Now if each guitar came with a video of Ric , they would sell millions!!😉😉🎸🎸🎸🎸😎😎

Sounds really good thru the tube for an economically priced guitar, and considering all the extras, what an awesome instrument!

@gdroid5324 6 ай бұрын

I had one of these for two weeks and I loved the way it played, the neck was magnificent and the pickups were sweet. But I sent it back. After the two weeks I had it, the high E, B and G strings wouldn’t stay in tune, and one of the tuners stripped out. In addition, after only my two weeks of playing, I had worn pretty good grooves in several of the fats, so with a neck that has no wood in it, how do you replace the frets in the future? If it had stainless steel frets, this shortcoming would be solved. When I used the onboard effects through my tube amp, there was overwhelming hiss making them unusable. But when played through the onboard speakers the effects sounded great. This is a cool guitar, but the tuners and frets are the weakest link.

Having a lot of experience working with composite materials, im seriously considering buying one of these, stripping it down & making a lefty body and replacing the internals. From what I can see the conversion wouldn't be too difficult. I would make a supper strat style body. For me its a question time for the project.

@HaithamAlsalman 4 ай бұрын

I bought it but I noticed an issue when using the built in speaker. They cause the strings to keep humming which forces you to apply a lot of muting. Is this normal? I have other electric guitars but never faced such muting issues since no speakers are affecting the body.

@intheblues 4 ай бұрын

If you play with too much gain at higher volumes, it'll feedback a bit. It's a speaker proximity to pickups thing.

@HaithamAlsalman 4 ай бұрын

@@intheblues I think that's a huge defect for the purpose it's created for. So the only solution is to keep the speakers at low volume?
