Toy Guitar? Nope! Acoustic/Electric w/ Built-In Effects - Enya NOVA Go SP1 Carbon Fiber Guitar

[@jimvickmusic]

The strap on the gig bag comes off and connects to those 2 mystery items that are the attachments for the guitar’s strap buttons. Quite an interesting design, I think. Thanks for a well done review and thorough demo otherwise!

Nice review! The color I want is pink! The effects are easily to use and swift.

[@SetFire2TheNightSky]

Awesome! That guitar is surely better than the Epiphone DR-100 I was given. It was free cause it has a bad neck hump at the neck joint and has uneven frets I need to file down. Shame on you Epiphone cause I've seen many same complaints by a lot of people with the same model! A local luthier told me a lot of modern guitars suffer from issues like this because they don't let the wood age as long as they used to anymore, in order to just rush out product. I love the finish on this! It kinda reminds me of the Washburn AB series of acoustic/electric basses though, the built-in effects and other features like carbon fiber body set it above something like that. I just goes to show that modern budget instruments can easily rival and in some cases, even surpass expensive vintage gear from just a few decades ago. I would love to try that guitar with the Swiff Audio WS-50 wireless system I bought. Have you ever heard of it? I have had a really good experience with that system, I wound up buying 3 sets - _low, undetectable latency, no noise or interference, good range and unbroken signal from room to room, good battery life (approx 4 to 5 hrs. on one charge), relatively inexpensive (about $50 for a transmitter, receiver and double USB tipped charging cable for charging both units at the same time)._ The best parts are being able to pair more than one receiver unit to one transmitter. So, now I have an almost cable-free bass rig. One paired pair from my bass to my effects, my effects being the only things connected via quality patch cables, and then another transmitter from my effects paired to 2 receivers that I plug into 2 separate bass amps. Cuts down on a lot of noise and of course, the best thing is being free to move around without worrying about stepping on cables or snagging them on furniture. I just looked up this Enya guitar and it's caught my interest. I might be looking into it further. Thanks for the video, brother! Take it easy!

Yes! The guitar has a built in speaker so you can hear the effects without an amp. To turn it on, you hold down the power button until it lights up. Also, there are two versions of this guitar: the electric version with effects (that's the one I have in this video), and the non electric with no effects. If you order one, make sure it's the right one. And the electric one is often sold out.
