I have an '80s Korean guitar with a built-in speaker that's actually one of my favorites. Speaker's broken though. My dad found it in a dumpster, so I call it the "Dumpstercaster".
As a guitar with its own amp and speaker built in and it doesn't sound like crap, I think it is a pretty nice player. I would use it just for some practicing on my couch or something.
I’ve had this guitar for about a week, and I’m totally impressed! Light weight, smooth heel, low action (without the buzz), playability, portable….all of those things are fantastic. But what really got to me was the speaker. You can feel the air. It brings more life to playing. It’s like playing an acoustic and sounding like EVH at the same time, without blowing out your ears! The app is fine. There’s not much too it, but IMO, I think that’s a good thing. I dialed in 4 distinct sounds and roll with it. If you’re a player, and 350$ won’t break your bank, THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!
My first thought was how much fun this would be to mess around on with my grandkids. Something silly that they can make noise out of and slowly begin to get interested in making music. Great review/demo Ryan. Thanks.
It looks really fun to play and sounds surprisingly good. And better still, no need to faff about with cables, headphone amps, etc. Love it! Definitely on my soon-to-acquire list.
John, i never really listened to them for some reason. If I'm missing out on something really good tell me the best place to start & I'll listen to some of it tomorrow. Thanx, and greetings from Downtown HoustonTx...
I have an X4 Pro acoustic and the Enya 3/4 acoustic as well as this electric. The X4 is one of the nicest sounding and playing acoustic guitars I've ever played. It has full on electronics, an app, and full controls for tone, reverb, even delay on the body of the guitar. Despite these "added" features, it's one hell of a guitar for the price, and could easily be someone's daily driver as a high end instrument. The little acoustic is a blast and sounds very good (coming from someone who has never found a travel guitar worth touching) and is very worthwhile if you want a small guitar. I kept it because it's really fun to play and so small and light it feels like you can just toss it on the couch. That's the one where the bridge is molded right onto the body. The body is supposedly two pieces but you can't find a seam anywhere, so it's extremely similar looking to the guitar you're reviewing, which is Enya's first guitar with magnetic standard-electric pickups. I did get and review one of these sonic go electrics, and thought it was another wonderful guitar from Enya. But just like the X4, and just like you mentioned, the guitar is so good you can truly consider the extra effects and the app to be just a bonus; you don't really need them and if you never use them you'll be enjoying really nice instruments that function and behave just like standard instruments. With the X4 acoustic all the sounds produced by the guitar come out of the guitar cable socket no matter what (green light on guitar comes on when you insert the plug into the guitar). With the sonic electric that is not the case. All the Enya guitars and their "extra features" are unique and unique from each other too. With the sonic go electric (as I learned from another YT video) you can plug into an amp and then choose either straight out or using preamp fx on guitar, just by turning the guitar "on" by pressing the big button or turning it "off." When it's off, it's just like a regular guitar, and seems to me should work even if the battery or electronics otherwise failed, as a normal passive magnetic "electric guitar." I had not tried turning the big button "on" while plugged in to my amp; that's what the X4 automatically does - it turns on automatically when plugged; with the sonic electric you can choose ... I also learned (from you) that the battery on the sonic is accessible via the back panel. But I'm not an app guy, I'm a guitar player, and that's ALL I care about. With the sonic electric I never touched the app and mostly played it plugged into my Kemper head. With my X4 acoustic (which I will never part with) I dial everything down (on guitar, no "app" needed) except sometimes a little reverb. The fx are good enough to use, but not as good as outboard fx. The X4 and mini acoustic both have actuators built-in to them, which is a cool thing and it really works in a casual setting like at a picnic, and the only drawback I have ever considered is that you do have to keep the batteries tended to with those two (which is also true for this sonic go electric, an unusual consideration with an electric guitar!). Enya is a very innovative company! Gotta go, you're taking the back off! Nice review and enjoyable to watch! Carry on! :)
I love mine. Loved my Nova Go Sp1 practice unit. Protects all my wood ones. Walk in the woods in the rain. Cook with steam while practicing. Then this popped up. Had thought about modding an Sp1, but I had to pull the trigger. And I love the strap. Bought 3(mag straps, nicest modern strap I've ever touched, soft, understated, not bulky, have to touch one to know). Got one just to lower the price of the guitar. Ordered another and reordered when it was late, came together and kept both. Have some ideas to mod it. But it's great to play a comfortable single cut like an acoustic without even clipping on the spark go. But you can use it like a regular guitar without their effects. Can't say enough about it. Maybe I'll add a Piezo bridge and wiggle stick so I can sit between my 2 amps. But then again this is a convenience guitar. It just rivals most of the other ones that cost me 4 times more. Guess I'm a cheap date. I know I'm not a tone snob. I'm a late life player and I just want stuff that works and turns me on. I like certain throwback stuff and some cutting edge. This is just sleek and comfortable. It can fall off the couch. Keep the nice ones in guitar land. This one is for being out in life land begging to be picked up so you can practice 5 times a day no matter how short. Keep it behind the couch or in the kitchen, the garage, then get the cheaper SP1 parlor guitar for the front door or mud room next to your boots. Get you plucking for a bit the minute you come home. I even leave mine in the bathroom sometimes. No fear.
I think this has a place. Temperature and humidity changes when travelling...alnico 2 and 5 pickups...asymetrical neck, easy for my surgically repaired arm to play...light weight, easy on the neck and back...Great video!
I have the acoustic version of the nova go 1/2 size, which fits in my car and is great during "smoke" breaks at work. I ordered the sonic after watching several videos about it. Kinda wish this had been out when I bought the acoustic version, but the acoustic can sit next to my couch for breaks between shows.
I have one of those Casio guitars with the built-in tape deck. That only has one distortion sound but has become kind of cool by virtue of being old. I doubt this will age as well but it's a lot more functional, at least for a few years, then it will take someone clever to mod it into something cool again. I like the construction though, kind of Gibson Sonex-like.
I saw a video demonstration of one of these Enya guitars by a guy who was rocking out righteously at a campsite somewhere. He sounded pretty good, demonstrating all the tones, rocking like Van Halen or Angus Young. Then he said, "Whoops, it's 6:00 a.m., and I don't want to wake anybody up ..." and my thought was, buddy, it's probably too late to think about that now! I'm not saying I might not want to have one of these; seems like a cool tool, and a great travel companion, but the key would be to NOT assume that anybody else wants to hear it being played. I'll predict that it won't be long before there could be whole RUclips channels devoted to videos of these carbon-fiber guitars being ripped away and smashed to pieces by people who have heard just about enough "shredding" for one day.
Ive had a pignose guitar with a built in speaker (and it distorts and feeds back nicely) for like 20 years or so. It also plays really really well for a tiny little thing and sounds pretty good too.. They are great for just leaving out next to your arm chair and picking up whenever. Also as its a bolt on neck you can take it off and it will fit in a suitcase. It was £150 new and I still have it sitting next to me right now.
@@clintwilson6380 Yep, you can still buy them new. They do an all mahogany one now too... Really awesome guitars for what they are. Very overlooked if you ask me.
seems like a good choice for a travel guitar as you don't need to bring an amp and cables. Great for playing at college waiting for classes or something.
Hmm. Could have sworn I posted a comment yesterday...Oh, well. Thanks, Ryan for a great intro of the Sonic. I already own a Nova Go SP1 (acoustic/electric) in white. It's a fantastic instrument for the money. No worries about heat, cold, humidity. Perfect size for a couch guitar and does great either with onboard effects/speaker or plugged in. So, where am I going with this? I just ordered a Nova Go Sonic in, wait for it, black. Can't wait to get that sucker.
That's the best thing since Cort Effectors of the 80's.....I'd really like to get one of these, especially since I've had neck surgery, 6 pounds would be a huge relief....
I got this guitar on a whim 3 days ago, mainly because I have a Nova Go that's purely acoustic and I love that guitar. I wanted to see for myself if this guitar would be as good as that one and boy does it deliver. I have a minor nitpick about the builtin speaker causing feedback on the G string, but I'm pretty sure that's because of the way the guitar was set up from the factory and it just needs an adjustment that I haven't gotten around to doing yet. This guitar definitely punches above it's class in terms of price, I was shocked at the Nova Go acoustic and how nice it was to play and that didn't change any with the sonic. Enya has a customer for life with me as long as they keep up this kind of quality
Just FYI you guys inspired me to create my own RUclips channel and I'm getting my little video spot set up in my spare time to do my own videos so thank you, and guns and guitars, know your gear etc. For the inspiration!
Thanks for the greate review. The black one is all black. The white one should be all white including the neck / fretboard. Both would look a lot classier with shiny chrome pickup covers. I'd like to see them make a model with a removable nut so I could slot in a metal nut. A user removable speaker would be nice as well. Have the option to have the speaker in it. Or remove the speaker and snap on a cover plate to create a chambered LP style instrument. The speaker grill is likely to collect dust and gunk over time if it isn't cleaned regularly. The all carbon fibre construction is nothing new though. Steinberger wrote the book on that technique back in the 1980s. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
This guitar hits just about all the niches you got out there. On it's own, it feels like it'd be a great instument to learn the guitar with. The internal amp doesn't seem to be anything that would burst your eardrums, nor does it sound weak. A good feature would be to create a pedal or a pedalboard to get to all the presets on the fly, and turn them on or off without having to resort to the app (though it'd be fine if you'd want to load a customized preset). But, for the app itself, maybe have the ability to create and store a preset of your own customization on a future update or effects expansion? And add some more effects like shimmer, flanger... Outside its original scope, let's face it... It's by no means a slouch! You don't want the on-board effects (though they seemed fine to me), you can plug the guitar to a pedalboard of your own, or just an amp if you don't want the hassle of another box on the ground. And moreover... Carbon composite guitar! It will not need the same amount of maintenance as a wood guitar! It's built to last in the cold and heat, and that neck is likely to remain nice and sturdy for a lifetime - but truss rod is there for whatever minor adjustments that ever need to be made. I love it! This is the sort of guitar you cannot go wrong with! My consideration now lies in if you can adapt a Virtual Jeff to it for live plays and if it delivers properly with the onboard effects.
As a practice guitar, without having to pull out your amplifier or modeler, that seems useful. Also good for electric players who want to join in around the campfire, or when traveling, etc.
Mi ricorda tanto una chitarrina che vedevo sempre in vetrina passando dal negozio di giocattoli vicino casa, confesso che ne ero molto attratto, avevo 10 anni o anche meno
I just receive mine a couple of days ago. Everything is great, pretty much what I expected, is just what I wanted. It's the low E string that vibrates all the time unless you mute it. it's what is causing the feedback. It must be stopped. I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to do that.
I have an Enya Nova Acoustic Plus Concert Ukulele already, a Flight Centurion Tenor Ukulele, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Maple Fade 60s Inspired by Gibson guitar and an Epiphone SG Muse Scarlet Red guitar. So while it was interesting, it's not for me. Wondering if you tried the Spark line of amps which come with Spark software; Spark Go, Spark Mini, Spark 40 and Spark Live? I have the Spark Go and the 40 amps and the Spark CAB. I was hoping the Spark CAB was going to be more like the Spark Live which allows you to hook up to 3 other instrumental players besides yourself but it is just a cabinet. I have a wireless XSONIC AirStep SPK controller too.
what i want to know is, can you only save one clean patch for the clean preset? Or can I make all 4 presets a clean patch. One like the surf sound you made, and one dry, and one with a slapback delay, etc?
i have a coronado ii and it is one of the best guitar I have and its made in china , I had bothe fender esp horizon Chinese stuff don't need to be bad at all
that guitar would look so awesome with black binding around the body and headstock. also having black hardware (pickups, tuners, bridge, knobs, strap buttons, switch tip.) would make it more awesome.
@60 Ciclo Hum Pienso... que las guitarras eléctricas del futuro deberian no necesitar ser enchufadas para hacerlas sonar. Me acuerdo hay un video de Yamaha con uno o varios modelos de guitarras acústicas (incluyendo las españolas clásicas y flamencas) con unos botones en el lado amplificaban el volumen.
Got the nova go for my 2 y/o and he hasn't been able to damage it, and i actually enjoy playing it... he grabs it strums open chords and songs out nonsense
Hmm, i might wait for one at the right price for a practice guitar instead of schlepping one of my teles and little ibanez battery amp around, id sure be less sad if this got stolen/damaged than my "travel" tele...Could be handy around the campfire as well.
I honestly can't wait for Thomann to get their hands on it, slap the Harley Benton logo and sell it for $100 less. That's literally what they did by licensing the Enya Nova Go model and selling it as a Harley Benton TravelMate-E, which I can get for less than the Enya model.
I have an '80s Korean guitar with a built-in speaker that's actually one of my favorites. Speaker's broken though. My dad found it in a dumpster, so I call it the "Dumpstercaster".
Is the speaker itself broken or the amp powering it? Generally shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
what make/model? is it available used?
@@theothertonydutch The battery case in the back is gone.
@@scareantics It's a Synsonics Terminator. A quick Google search shows that it goes up for sale fairly often.

Can you make thing sound like an acoustic as well via the app settings?
Have you been able to play a backing track or something over BT on the built in speaker?
My first thought was how much fun this would be to mess around on with my grandkids. Something silly that they can make noise out of and slowly begin to get interested in making music.
Great review/demo Ryan. Thanks.

Your face gives away how much you enjoy playing it!
Ryan suddenly became a Doom Metal God after saying, "Let's just dump some effects on it."
what are theese pedal
For a minute I thought I was back in the 70s listening to a Mahogany Rush album when you got wild with the effects. Awesome.
John, i never really listened to them for some reason. If I'm missing out on something really good tell me the best place to start & I'll listen to some of it tomorrow. Thanx, and greetings from Downtown HoustonTx...
The sound that you got out of your rig when you said let's just dumped some effects sounds just like my rig is freaking amazing😂😂😂😂😂❤
Thanks for this video. Just ordered it in white!
I ordered the Black , it will be in my hands on Monday !

Has to be an armless chair for me while playing 😁.
Love to see different body shapes in the future
Great video, Ryan, and I dig your shirt....
If they make a 60 cycle X Enya offset "lil dripper" edition I will 100% buy immediately.
I won’t buy one until this happens.
This looks like a lot of fun. Hope I could get something like this in Europe. It might be my beach guitar this summer.

I can see myself getting one by Summer. Interesting design.
Nice review.
Thanks for posting.
Have liked and subscribed 👍😎💭🎸🎶💜✨
That is so awesome if I liquidate some of my stock I am getting one.
Who can say where the road goes?
Where the day flows?

Like the Zimms shirt

wish they made one without the speaker for like 200. this would be a great modding and tinkering platform
That's really cool. They should add a wireless pedal to switch the channels and an fx loop.
Wow, man, you had it all Tuned Up to Play Beach Boys' WIPE OUT. I wish you had played that!
I already want one!
Thanks for the greate review.
The black one is all black. The white one should be all white including the neck / fretboard.
Both would look a lot classier with shiny chrome pickup covers.
I'd like to see them make a model with a removable nut so I could slot in a metal nut.
A user removable speaker would be nice as well. Have the option to have the speaker in it. Or remove the speaker and snap on a cover plate to create a chambered LP style instrument.
The speaker grill is likely to collect dust and gunk over time if it isn't cleaned regularly.
The all carbon fibre construction is nothing new though. Steinberger wrote the book on that technique back in the 1980s. Cheers from the Land Down Under.
Totally reminds me of the Fernandes Nomad ads I always saw as a kid
A dude I used to work with had a Fernandez Nomad it distorted nicely, the action was a bit high, but, it was a lot of fun to play!!!!
I've got an Ibanez Gio Mikro with a built in speaker, and I'm not going to lie. It's kinda fun.

Hey is that an sx liquid behind you with the 3 P90's?! I love those!
Access to the upper frets looks good. Light weight is good. Probably more robust than a Gibson. It's got a lot going for it.
More robust than a Gibson....LOL that statement is epic...Not true but epic!
and lighter too
Would love to see them make one without the speaker, seems cool!
that's very cool for the price
I love my nova go. Its not the best sound. But considering its an amazing traveler for the price i love it
Well I like it
Thanks. I want one! But the price seems a bit higher now, eh?

Wheel at the heel, stainless steel, locking tuners, that would be a modern deal.
i have seen rewievs of this guitar on RUclips and I like this guitar, I ordered one white, nice video.its an alien guitar for shore.feedback😖😫😩
it's a fun gadget
Nice, but where to mount the Bigsby?
They must have put a lot of R&D into that tone composite. It sure has a bright, snappy high end 🤣
Actually that thing sounds good and is real interesting.
Pretty cool guitar..looks fun..do they make a blue one ? Lol hmmmmm😮😂
Okay, I kinda want one and then put miffy stickers on it
Guess I need one.
I have an Enya Nova Acoustic Plus Concert Ukulele already, a Flight Centurion Tenor Ukulele, an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Maple Fade 60s Inspired by Gibson guitar and an Epiphone SG Muse Scarlet Red guitar. So while it was interesting, it's not for me. Wondering if you tried the Spark line of amps which come with Spark software; Spark Go, Spark Mini, Spark 40 and Spark Live? I have the Spark Go and the 40 amps and the Spark CAB. I was hoping the Spark CAB was going to be more like the Spark Live which allows you to hook up to 3 other instrumental players besides yourself but it is just a cabinet. I have a wireless XSONIC AirStep SPK controller too.
hang a marshall MS-2 from the trapeze thing on my es125t and crank it up !
The battery stays in? How do you charge it? USB port?
That input jack into the circuit board definitely seems like the future failure point. Would love to see a strat body too. Love a good practice tool!
That's pretty neat, if only they could make a bass version...
Perfect for lo-fi and low-brow black metal
$349??!!! Shit. I just ordered one from Amazon and, with tax, I paid $400.17.
Does it have any neck dive?
what i want to know is, can you only save one clean patch for the clean preset? Or can I make all 4 presets a clean patch. One like the surf sound you made, and one dry, and one with a slapback delay, etc?
Pete townshend would like one of those. No Hiwatt Amp needed.
What I really wanted to know was, “Does it surf?”
And not surprised Ryan tried that out
Nope, no wiggly stick , no single coil ==> no surf ..
@@cvanhetkaar96 but not surprised that he gave it a shot
great video! nice product but expensive.
Thanks!
can you bluetooth into like a JBL or something. That would be nice
Is there a tuner anywhere?
i have a coronado ii and it is one of the best guitar I have and its made in china , I had bothe fender esp horizon Chinese stuff don't need to be bad at all
Nice shirt. I hope you guys met up
We did
I just purchased the Black ! It will be in my hands on Monday , I can't wait !
How are you enjoying it so far? I'm on the fence and want a real person's perspective.
finding this in 30 years in some dusty attic... good luck on the appstore getting this running
They will stop app support as soon as they sell out. Then : screw you guys!
Is the fretboard wood?
Can we change pick ups in this guitar?
that guitar would look so awesome with black binding around the body and headstock. also having black hardware (pickups, tuners, bridge, knobs, strap buttons, switch tip.) would make it more awesome.

Pienso... que las guitarras eléctricas del futuro deberian no necesitar ser enchufadas para hacerlas sonar. Me acuerdo hay un video de Yamaha con uno o varios modelos de guitarras acústicas (incluyendo las españolas clásicas y flamencas) con unos botones en el lado amplificaban el volumen.
Does it come in other colors?
He said “get into the guts”!!!!!!🤪
What's the scale length? Of you said I missed it
That app looks like it was made in the era of the iPhone 3G
Got the nova go for my 2 y/o and he hasn't been able to damage it, and i actually enjoy playing it... he grabs it strums open chords and songs out nonsense
They should just make alittle multi effects..but built into the body of guitar..onboard..No Apps...would be more fun..easier also.
Hmm, i might wait for one at the right price for a practice guitar instead of schlepping one of my teles and little ibanez battery amp around, id sure be less sad if this got stolen/damaged than my "travel" tele...Could be handy around the campfire as well.
wish they had installed an acoustic preset
I honestly can't wait for Thomann to get their hands on it, slap the Harley Benton logo and sell it for $100 less. That's literally what they did by licensing the Enya Nova Go model and selling it as a Harley Benton TravelMate-E, which I can get for less than the Enya model.
