I bought the Enya Go SP1 on a whim on sale for $190 bucks with the full kit (case, cable etc etc) and out of the box it was awful but after adjusting the neck it fell in tune and I’ve been playing it for 3 days and am out of my mind in love with it! Looked up videos to see if this one is worth it and sounds like it is a must buy. I have too many guitars to count but am always looking for new sounds and this is my first carbon fiber and my first built in FX guitar. So fun. I’ve written 3 new songs in 3 days playing with this thing. It’s been inspiring. Thanks for the great vid review. Now I just need to learn how to set up bridge action on my own because that’s something that intimidates me and I’ve never tackled it before.

You wore neither the sombrero nor the aviators, and you expected this to sound amazing? C'mon.

I've played dozens of Chinese knockoffs and most play and sound as good if not better than the real things. But I do understand how it would hurt someone's feelings who got ripped by Martin.

$250 all day from China !!

Let’s here the comparison.

I have an Epi Dove made in china , QC on it is good . My fretting fingers are my secret , they are not made in Indonesia or China . I think a lot of Tone is through the fingers .

There’s one at my local goodwill for $20 right now. I have to many guitars but I’m thinking about it

Good point about bridge pins! Stock are v irritating

I just found one of these on FB marketplace and it also has a jacked up 12th fret marker, LOLOLOL +1 for consistency?

Put a set of D'Addario XS strings and voila, MARTIN SOUND !!!

I owned a '76-'77 Ibanez concord hummingbird (Japan), which at the time, met or exceeded Gibson's sound quality. Years past, l foolishly traded this guitar for an amp. I just recently purchased a new Gibson original because i wanted to emulate that that Ibanez sound.

What strings you use?

It’s a cheap guitar for people who can’t afford a real Martin

Most informative review I’ve seen on this guitar and I’ve watched several vids already. Thanks!

Bought mine 2 years ago…Still LOVE IT.

This is ace!! Well done my man!!

You should have saved that 600.00 dollars and later on buy a real martin I own 2 I have a d-28 and a all mahogany d-15 600.00 dollars is a lot of money for a garbage knock off just to hang on the wall.

I agree with the laminate. I have a br-40 and it is now 20 years old. Both the spruce and the layered rosewood have aged to produce much better tone. I prefer it over my d10e sapele

There's a lot of urbans out there which one is yours

I'm interested in your thoughts on this, Brian. You know how I feel about my Hummingbird, brother man 👍

Its a great song, the words are like an anthem for my deceased son in law( 33 yrs. young) God let his doul rest in peace. God bless you too man Nice job. Tu Ron P. W.NY

I like the bright tone

Pretty boxy sounding but it's say plugged sounds pretty full. I'm used to a full body dread good picking sir keep using your God gift

I got one of these at the beginning of 2024. It's fantastic. I took it straight to a local guitar tech because there was a little fret buzzing, and I'd heard of the inconsistencies regarding quality. He did a little tinkering, though nothing beyond the usual set up, and it sounds excellent.

I've Got mine since 2020 and it's a good guitar...Surprisingly perfect and well balanced in sound. Nothing to say..The only problem was some buzz on the lower strings that I solved raising the action, by putting a small spacer under the bridge....I've payed mine 'bout 850 euros at that time...

According to the official website, Eiphone Hummingbird pro (now renamed studio) has "Mahogany" back and side, whatever that means.

The proof would be to record a famous acoustic guitar song then ask people what they think of the guitar then tell them it was played with a carbon fiber guitar.

No tap dealy and no loop recording. That's the only thing missing. Great sounding guitar. Yamaha have new model with loop and tap delay but it cost 1,700 dollars.. so this guitar is a great option but not buying it befor a tap delay & loop recording option.

Wanna huge improvement in tone? Projection? Resonance with that guitar? Get rid of that 2 lb chunk of sound robbing rubber they call a pick gaurd on the top! I replaced it with a small ultra thin and hard pick guard... More like one you will find on a Martin or Taylor.. it is a sound board for Gods sake... The Gibson gaurds are thinner and MUCH harder material, gummy near rubber they use is AWFUL FOR THE TONE OVERALL!!

I think you deserve a comment by now so here goes.... I have a 1980 Takamine F-349. While it sounds great, I am not sure it sounds a s good as yours... but then it may just be you're a better guitar player than me.

5.8oz???? You serious 😮

Which you like most?

I like your list but I have to point out that Simon & Patrick is not the same as Art & Lutherie, they're just re-branded Seagulls. You see, being an authorised Seagull dealer means that there can be no other Seagull dealers within a certain proximity to your location. Simon & Patrick was made because the demand for these guitars was so high and it's the brand that non-Seagull dealer music stores would sell. For example, the Seagull S6 Original and the Simon & Patrick Woodland Cedar are EXACTLY the same guitar. Just go compare them on Godin's website and you'll see that the specs are identical. Long & McQuade sells both guitars for EXACTLY the same price. What does that tell you?

This is a awesome cover of this song. I can't stop listening to it.

Brother , Had no clue that Washburn made anything except low end beginners instruments , thanks for making this video !

Very beautiful interesting guitar. I wish I could hear it live.

Problem is, like a new car, when ya drive it out it’s worth less than half.

Wow. you performed so well my dude. 🍻

Brian, you’ve a great voice. Once you have transportation and time, let me know. I need to get you into my makeshift studio. Great cover, brother man 👍🏻 By the way, I was at a friend’s house in Atlanta last week. He had a Fender Tele Custom that was signed by Luke.

This is amazing

One fine sounding guitar there Brian !

I've always liked this song. You did a nice job with your rendition.

I own an Indonesian made (Dec '21) Epiphone Excellente...... it's easy to Love. You could do a WorldTour with this Guitar. ♠️❤♠️

Very nice guitar great tone I have had a few high end Larrivee and love them all I noticed the neck wrench you showed is exactly like the ones that came with my Larrivee current go to for me is my Martin D 18 custom shop with Adirondack top if I had the right opportunity I would not hesitate to pull the trigger on the guitar you reviewed today the hog on back a sides look very much like the Larrivee I had what was the nut width on yours I almost bought an Eagle D19 Larrivee last week but it was 1 11/16 and I’m a13/4 guy good video

I have the full acoustic, changed the nut, bridge, pins to Graph tech. Had to adjust the height of the bridge for better intonation. SO MUCH better. LOVE it. And not for sale.

I have a Red Spruce, it sounds less balanced than a Sitka but with more dynamic range and better high-lows at volume so it doesn't sound muddy. Mine, with a maple back, also sounds very sweet and articulate

So, down to the short strokes.. who actually built the guitar? Larrivee doesn't know, you don't know for certain... is it Atkin? Might want to clarify. BTW even Bourgeois made guitars for Washburn some years back. PS.. Any strap button on a guitar is, for me, a deterrent to purchase. The same goes for any electronics on an acoustic guitar.. Never.

Brian, where did you get the replacement bridge pins from, what size did you with, and did you have to enlarge the bridge pin holes to accommodate the new pins? Thanks, looking to upgrade the pins on mine.

I had no idea about the Washburn history, so really appreciate you going through that. I love the shape of it and it looks beautiful. Appreciate all of the information and the homework you did, brother man 👍🏻

9:50 Atkin the British guitar manufacturer?
