UNDER $200 for STAINLESS STEEL FRETS and ROASTED MAPLE NECK!

This is the EART SSS Strat style guitar and it has one of the nicest necks I've ever played on a sub-$200 guitar. Featuring a very thin, shred-friendly neck, with 22 stainless steel frets, even with old-school single coil pickups, this guitar screams. Now just get rid of that mint pickguard...

[@qz2026]

I went out and purchased one from Amazon. They were out of inventory so the order went directly to China. It took almost a month to receive. And I am totally impressed... A very minor intonation adjustment was required for the top E string. And, after playing it, my fingers turned black. I tore the whole thing down to inspect it and to change the strings. No further adjustments were required. The inside is very clean and organized. Pots have no issues or noise that you mentioned. I could not get a good signal from the bridge. I then realized that they had plastic over the neck and bridge pickups but not the center pickup. Once removed, everything was good. I'll tell you, this guitar plays and sounds better than any of the Squires or Harley Benton's that I own. I'm really impressed.

Other features to keep in mind that didn’t really get highlighted in the video is that the guitars have a matte finish, enormous cutaway behind the lower horn, and a bridge that feels nice and weighty. These are a steal and I wouldn’t be surprised if we have another monoprice amp situation on our hands

I wonder if that's a reference to the truss rod adjustment. It's a terrific feature, and it makes this guitar even cooler. Suhr and Kiesel, also do. it's a big improvement over Allen keys.

I have this identical guitar. It's a two way truss rod. I'll admit, it works, but it almost feels like the roasted maple doesn't want to move like a normal thin RG neck would. You have to make small adjustments and wait 48hrs to see a slight change😂

I just got this guitar a couple of days ago. I can’t believe this is what you get for the money. This is no doubt the absolute best deal in guitar that you can find today. Nothing else even comes close. The best fretwork I’ve ever seen on any guitar I’ve picked up which is insane. The action is so low with no buzz and the roasted neck feels amazing. Fender should be ashamed. This guitar blows it away. The value is unprecedented. I do wish I could be saying this about an American company however but I’m giving credit where it’s due and Eart guitars is doing it right. This is the first guitar I’ve bought brand new that didn’t have something wrong with it. My Charvel dk24 with roasted maple neck has inferior fretwork to this Eart which I’m pissed about and that’s a $1000 guitar. I even bitched to Charvel about it. Get some of these guitars before the prices go up is my suggestion.

Thank you for doing such a great job on explaining the features on this guitar (most individuals leave out the neck shape, which is of MAJOR importance to me). The guitar looks and sounds great (kinda funky headstock...but most in this price range are) and the pups sound really good. The only disappointing thing I heard from you is that the neck on that guitar is thin and good for shredders (not a shredder myself). That's a real shame to, because it's hard to find a 7.5 to 9.5 compound radius neck anywhere in any size. My hands are average size but I still need a soft V or a mid sixties C for my comfort. So If I bought this guitar I would re-paint it, relic it and change the neck to a Fender 50s Classic Player soft V replacement neck (which even though they jacked the price up another $100.00 it's still my go to neck for builds) and still walk away with a great guitar under $600.00 (something I have done many times and for many years). Thanks again.

[@fighterx4133]

Just got mine today. Not sure the neck is really roasted but it feels great and after some tweaks with the set up has decent string height and playability now. The fit and finish is really good and overall it is really worth the money. I'll be putting through its paces over the next few weeks.

Was on the hunt for an SSS guitar (my guits are all humbuckers) and prefer fast necks. Stumbled on this in a poorly lit pawn shop, it had suffered cosmetic damage during shipping. Asked the storekeeper to google specs and for some reason wouldn't click Eart's site just amazon, only determined the body was mahogany. Could tell the thin neck was a little dark and the frets were smooth with rounded ends. Picked it up for $70. Was surprised when I got home realized it had a baked maple neck, seemingly stainless steel frets and a heat treated body. Eart's site says 24 frets but it's 22, says nickel/silver then says stainless steel frets. The neck can't be much more than 19mm thick at the 1st fret, rare on a strat type guit. There's no shielding in the cavities, doesn't hum-cancel, cheap electronics, nut, bridge and tuners but hey, easily remedied.
