EART Takes Aim At Traditional Guitars (Stainless Steel Frets AND MORE For $400)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2022
- With a beautiful, all-mahogany construction, a thin D-shape neck, stainless steel frets with rounded fret ends, and an open grain finish... this $400 semi-hollow body guitar from Eart competes VERY favorably to some of the traditional Gibson and Epiphone designs! Let's review it and see how it plays and sounds.

Yes! The weight in kilometers! "And that's not far at all" hahaha, man, your subtle humor is awesome. Great video as always!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Don't forget about buying a vintage airplane! 😉 fun video.
The best jokes don't look like jokes at all.
Yes but how many parsecs does it weigh?
Aahhhhrrrgg,," my Biden impersonation "
Get em while you can at $279.30
Eart recently dropped the price from $379.00 down to $279.30 (sept 21 2020) my brother was constantly borrowing my Gibson 335 for recording projects. I would get it back with dead strings and new scratches. I told him to buy his own and sent him your review. That was 6 months ago. I gotta tell ya I was blown away when I played the Eart 335. Its lighter than my Gibson by at least 2 pounds. It plays and sounds fantastic. The finish work at the fret ends is not good but that doesn't impair the playability. The unbranded tuners stay in tune! What an amazing semi hollow body guitar for the price. I can only imagine how it could sound with real PAF, or Duncan pickups. Great review Mr Carlisle. Thanks for steering your followers in the right direction.

My EART E-335 was flawless right out of the box... just love it and nothing beats it for the price.
Love the informational videos like this! Keep em coming!
I love it when a guitar's headstock is the same color as the guitar body. That really adds to the look in my opinion. I think it sounds good, too.
By the way, the guitar weights 2.8 kilograms, not 2.8 kilometers. Kilometers is a measure of distance, like miles. Kilograms is weight.
Pretty sure Max was trolling in that clip.
Seriously great demo as usual Max. I'll be looking into one of these simply due to this review. Your review of the AIO semi hollow got me to try one. After that one showed up I was hugely impressed with the quality. You haven't steered me wrong yet. I like my KSA50 as much as my old Gibson es335. Great work, keep 'em coming Max.
The clean tones are beautiful ! It handles the gain great with no feedback.
The only guy who doesn't play blues licks on a 335..nice!
Hi Max. Just a small correction. Metric weight is not in "kilometers" but "kilograms".
I thought it might be some kind of inside- joke, maybe referring to his car & aviation channel or so.
He did say "so not very far at all" right after, so it seemed to be a subtle joke.
Lovely review. I especially liked the parting comparison about 'value' when one is considering buying a used vintage Jaguar or a used airplane! I must admit, I rarely have those kind of dilemmas. Thanks for making me smile, Max
I have this guitar and it came flawless - couldn't be happier. Thanks for confirming my buying decision.
Wow, that's an awesome sounding guitar! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it! Thanks Max!
Great review and awesome licks man. I own one of these and its a really great guitar, keep shredding dude.
Thanks so much for these reviews.
I have two Eart and I could not be happier they are fantastic.
Great demo Max! The only issues ive heard about is the set up which is something all guitars need. This guitar really sounds great and has killer specs.
I enjoy the fact that there is a lefty of it. Great video Max. Found your channel a while back when I was looking for an affordable guitar and sticked to your channel. Impressive skills and great reviews.
Awesome, thank you!
It sounds and looks great!!! I haven’t wanted a hollow body guitar in quite a while, but this one looks very promising.
I have a first gen EART headless that is one of my favorite guitars. I def want to pick up one of these. They really have been doing well the past few years.
You've rapidly become my fave guitar tuber, such great and informative content, thanks!
I agree fret buzz can be "difficult"- especially when you adjust the guitar and it still persists. If the action got changed on the guitar, don't forget to adjust the pickup height (afterwards). It's good to have the spacing between the pickup and the string correct. I want 1 of these guitars for sure.🎸
Starbucks barista: "What can I get for you?"
Me: "I'll take a double-shot roasted mahogany Venti Mocha."
I wonder if you like it better than the one you said you finally found your perfect blue's machine video? I've watched a lot of semi hollow guitar videos and I still love my ES 339 pro with the original headstock and the rosewood fretboard and coil splitting features. If I was to buy another one it would be the Monoprice burst you did a video on previously.
I've got their HSS strat and the fretwork is amazing. Would like to upgrade pickups but so playable. Did need similar adjustments too
The last time I heard some stunning hollowbody shredding was at Woodstock, by Alvin Lee of Ten Years After.
It seems that Epiphone got too comfortable under the Gibson umbrella and slowly has raised their prices, until competitors jump in the gap with better QC and specs.
Mind you, a stainless steel fret conversion by a skilled luthier may cost you easily more than $400!
Alvin lee was great musician. He at his time was considered one of the faster guitarists. But man good he play. And think about this back then you just basically play thru your Amps .Which is what Rory Gallagher did. To sound like lee or Gallagher today we have all kind of help technology wise. I don’t guitarist today appreciate that fact .
It was obvious how easy the guitar was to play by your extremely fluid, clean and blistering licks. Really impressive.
He can do that on a fencepost with barbed wire for the strings.
@@BuckFlicks You beat me to it!
I have a killer Jay Turser that I bought for $250 with an included Washburn hardshell case, when I walked into a guitar shop in Fond du Lac Wisconsin to buy some picks. The neck, action, intonation and pickups are just awesome. Looks like I need another one! Eart. I'm keeping an eye on these!
Wow! The sound is amazing! Ok not just Max's skills but the guitar itself as well! And stainless steel frets? The competition can't touch this in my opinion! Thanks Max!
Max can make a cigar box sound good.
BTW.. I bought my Boss Katana 50 MK2 based on Max Review.
Great review, Max! Those stainless frets will beat Epiphone's scratchy frets every time.
The truss rod cover is a copy of ibanez's design, i have that on 2 of my ibby axes... Works great and is never annoying to use. It usually takes a pick to flick it open, but after that. Adjusting the truss rod is so much easier with the door than without
I wanted to try a semi hollow and ordered this model after watching some videos. And I couldn't be happier, it's my favorite guitar now. As a plus it makes me sound better than I even am :) The playability of the neck is a dream and so much fun and ease. What I love most is the deep rich yet brilliant sound of this piece of amazing wood. The haptic is so pleasant I can't stop playing it. You are absolutely right and the shredding proves that this is a jazzy looking ultra speed board.
It’s so damn good…bought it 3 months ago…play it more than anything else
What is the weight compared to a strat? I have bad shoulder, looking for a lightweight guitar.
I love open-grain finishes like on my Gibson SG Faded. It's neat to see a semi-hollow with such a finish - it seems rare to find semi-hollows with open-grain, woody finishes. I ended up buying a Dot when I was looking for a 335-style since it was a satin finish, though it is a smoother, cabinet-like satin finish and not a grainy one like my SG Faded. Now if only this was in the smaller 339 size; that is my favorite style of guitar and right around the perfect size in my opinion. The Dot is a bit too large for my preference though I like having it around to change things up occasionally, but I would love to buy an open-grain 339 if one was available. :)
I am convinced Max, you can make any guitar sound like a custom build. Fantastic playing and tone.
Did not expect such shread out of the gate with such a model
But , that is Max
Eart are making some great guitars at sensible prices.
I have an E-3S and the playability out of the box was excellent with only
small adjustments required to suit my requirements.
The necks and frets are a step above the competition.
A brand to watch, the big names should be taking notice.🙂
Would love to see you review the Eart CP-1. I’m interested in their “U to C” neck profile.
Gibson and Fender custom shop owner and this was the best guitar I ever bought..until I got their Tele :) OMG these are good stuff. Did buy their EGLP "Les Paul" and returned it though.
Eart used all Epiphone parts ! I took my Eart 335 apart at arrival , and noticed Epiphone parts ! Epiphone is actually stamped on the output jack !
Got a firefly 338 and I wish I waited for this. I know I can buy one of these and probably will.
EART is making some nice guitars, but the positive feedback has resulted in stopping the "introductory prices." However, you do get what you pay for. Stainless steel frets that are rounded off are a huge deal. Glad lefties are available, too. It's not that hard to make short runs these days, is it?
Nice review!
Looks like a real winner!
I got the most cheapest HSS Stratocaster from EART AL112B. It's from Guitar MAX that introduced that budget brands guitar. And it's sure amazing for that price. I too got a Samick Royale RL1 Grett Bennett Signature Series semi hollow guitar & might get another semi hollow from Ibanez AS73.
This is why this is the best time to buy a guitar right now. I think this is the golden age for competition of affordable guitars with high quality unlike Gibson. lol
$400 with Stainless Steel Frets? Jesas Christ!
I enjoy the industry insight videos. I also agree with your assessment here, Eart has really begun to solidify into a pretty respectable guitar manufacturer. When you also take into account the custom shop level brands coming out of China like Shijie and Eastman it’s clear that the Far East is really coming into their own. One last thing, I also have the Mustang GTX100 and think it’s the ultimate home amp. It sounds really good, models the entire signal chain (pedals included) of your favorite bands/songs and can be completely controlled from your phone or tablet! It doesn’t get much better than that 🤟🏼
One big problem.....
The Chinese Communist Party enslaves people.
Don't support slavers.
They want YOUR liberty too!
@@ratwynd the chinese communist gov't is despicable, no doubt, but lets also try to remember that the chinese people making the guitars I've mentioned are people just like you and I. They have hopes, dreams and aspirations just you we do and they are trying their best to make a guitar that breaks the 'chinese crap' stereotype. not sure where the balance lies but it's still something to keep in mind.
@@BigIronTexas Hi Big Iron, It is not about the people of China. They are like people anywhere, some good, some bad. We all love, bleed and die.. I have been to Asia multiple times, and the former Soviet far east. I have been among them in their part of the world.
My question is why buy ANY product that benefits the slaver regime of the CCP, helping their economy enough to keep their people from revolting for freedom at the expense of free people in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Eastern Europe Australia , Canada or the USA? All of whom make the worlds best instruments ( which is clearly subjective of course ).
But to me a very important ingredient of any purchase decision is if the people who made it are part of a non-democratic enterprise like the CCP.
For comparison, those who knew of the crimes against humanity of the Third Reich in 1934-39 before war broke out but still sought to do business with them are just as guilty as Herman Goering in my book.
@@ratwynd well the beautiful thing about America, at least for the time being, everyone gets to enjoy their own opinion and point of view
@@BigIronTexas Agreed. Safe travels and fair wind in your sails, sir.
Whatever ya' got, pick it along the way!
Outstanding sustain
Those Eart guitars seems quite nice ! Mahogany is awesome ! I prefer C-shape necks, but D are cool too! Definitely not that much intto the Semi-hollow bodies, but this guitar sounds nice!
This guitar is not my cup of tea but it's awesome to see it demo'd as if I was playing it. That's one of my favorite aspects of your work. You don't pick up every thing and go straight to "chugga jiggy wugga.
This guitar should really have block inlays to put it over the top. Great video!
2.8 Kilometers, that is one looooooooong guitar! Great vid, as usual, Thank You!
Budget guitar ain't really arrived until Max demos it. I have a Wolf KSA-50 that I love, but am thinking the Eart would be its equal with a little setup and would then put Jones filtertrons in it.
Awesome !! This gets me the TED NUGENT vibe ! ;D !
Your killing me Max ... I have the epiphone es335 and love it ... but I do like saving money... but I've had mine for awhile so I guess I didn't miss out..
You take jazz/blues semi hollow guitar for review and play metal. Mind blowing
You ought to do a review on the Kramer 220 fr? Bought out by gibson.
You should check out the starshine Les Paul copy guitars. They seem great and from other videos I’ve seen they are really nice. You should also review the new Glarry ES-335 style hollow body guitar which looks really nice with a few finishes including natural.
Max how long have you been playing guitar? I really loved the lick at the beginning!
by no means on this earth is there another dude who can say shreddable .....like this dude! those blues tones ....man there aint a sound like it
o7 salute
Maxx awesome as usual, not interested in purchasing this but you make it sound great. I will buy your Wold TC1 tele if you still have it, if not I'll buy it from the guy who you sold it to. :-) I want that TC pretty please.
Have you tried a Shine Chet Atkins made at the epiphone factory.
They are beautiful.
I wish it had block or crown inlays. I'd like to see you give Sire guitars a once over.
Great demo! I didn’t know Danzig shredded…j/k great review Max!
While not really my style, that guitar is pretty damn cool. Looks beautiful too.
Rob have your heard of the boss SY-1000!? Omg its amazing! Its the most powerful guitar synth to date. It has instrument modeling and cool synth sounds, but it has GUITAR MODELING! It can sound like any guitar with any PUs you want. It also has some new tech that brilliantly simulates bowed instruments...it also has ALL THE CAPABILITIES OF THE GT-1000! id love to see you mess with it.
I am no expert, but I think a lot of novice guitarists shy away from semi-hollow bodies. They think it's just a jazzie, bluezie guitar and they would rather shred or "rock out" (and i get it. the look almost as important for some). But what a versatile style though! Even a practice amp with some sort of functionality and a pedal or two and they will shred and sound good doing it. I did an Epi Studio first because of the HH set up, then a Squire SSS (but has a hotrail on the bridge. Then the "super-strat" with HS and hotrail on neck. Then finally a semi-hollow body (cheaper than the other three) and at the end of the night that's the one I have in my lap.
Thanks for the review. This Eart caught my eye. It looks to be very nice. In the end, I don’t know that if it is worth the roughly $200 more over the Firefly. Just my opinion.
Oh its worth it. I have one and it is flawless. I have had issues with firefly guitars. It also has a bone nut which i dont think he mentioned.
Nice vid!
Congratulations on your quickness. You were first to respond to this video. Enjoy your Blue Ribbon for the day.
High ive heard the 2022 is not as good as the 2021 signified with its love rock logo any thoughts would be appreciated as i just bought lefty eart 335 you made it sound amazing thanx i hope mine is ok
The bridge adj. wheels will slip (on any similar guitar) lowering the action.
That guitar does look beautiful!
Nice looking guitar Max
As I said below your previous demonstrations of the other brands, Max, I've got to reiterate the rate how adept you are at demonstrating how a semi-hollow model can be used in a hard rock context.
Which preset on the mustang is the DSL? I normally use the 80's British setting (which is the JCM 800 amp sim), but I have a old GT (non GTX) model. Though I think I can get the preset if I update it, but is what is the name of the amp sim for the DSL? Thank you.
Max I had a choice between the eart for 275 or red Epiphone for 300 and was thinking for resale of getting Epiphone but when you said Jackson neck it sold me on the eart thanks Max you made my decision easy
It's very nice looking, just thought the headstock could have matched the body a bit better...
My Epi dot has f holes that look like an eight year old did them with a bread knife and magic marker..
Plays and sounds nice though.
For some reason I don't quite understand, Epi's hold their value on the used market too. I'd buy the EART in a heartbeat though... nice demo Max.
Ta.
Max. Could you plz demonstrate more than shred? Full demo of abilities would help me. I very little coin.
I reluctantly had to sell my 335 Custom-shop to a friend. I'd love to know how this guitar compares.
Very similar to Washburns HB 32 full Mahogany model in satin with the antique aged copper hardware for similar money $450.00. Plenty of sustain with those pu’s in the EART.
Not a fan of the painted headstock but the shape of it is interesting; plus aren't these guitars usually made out of maple?
Fantastic axe
Max, have you ever reviewed a Tokai single cut Love Rocks model?
Wait,
2.3 kilometers?
Just kidding
I’ve been wanting this guitar to give to my dad ever since I first saw an EART played by Enzo Taves and yourself and Darrell Braun and actually many others.
But. You really sold me on this 335 Eart Version
EART E335 would compete well with similar Epis. Probably built in identical nearby factories. Asian guitars are good! I have some Epiphones I'm happy with but would look seriously at EART in the future for a semi hollow like this one.
Can you do a review on a guitar that is made to look old..
A relic guitar..I was thinking of making one out of my 78 dollar one I got on eBay..
But I need to find one that I want to model it after...
Guitars are so cool 😎
A shame that it's currently unavailable, what a lovely guitar!
Amazon says it's in stock when I clicked.
Cool guitar;
But other than the very cool rounded stainless frets?
It seems? from your video.
That this EART guitar is remarkably Close or alike ?
To my, "Ibanez Artcore AS73" Semi-Hollow in Tobacco Brown, Satin finish.
Which is a great guitar (To Me).
And they even are priced the same,
Anyway a side by side look at both would be cool.
Oh The Ibanez Artcore has a 2 control knob (rather than 4 knob) model of this guitar that is typically under $300.00. Anyway thanks Max.
every other review of thus guitar I have seen said the neck was roasted maple, which I tend to believe based on the look of the grain.
That trust rod cover thing is an Ibanez thing. Even on the cheap ones. I'm sure it cost them .50 to make. But man does it help a lot !
My Epiphone 335 weighs 9 lbs. A nice guitar but heavy. A 6lb version sounds great. Also the Epiphone's neck is THICC. A light and easy fretted shredder sounds appealing.
A log of Ibanez models do that on their truss rod covers as well.
This thing sounds awesome! How are you not getting crazy feedback though, being a semi-hollow?
its really not that bad...
dont face the amp head on with cheap non potted pickups and we both know were not gonna run original pickups very long
2.8 kilometers... rare blooper fly-boy! 😁
Keep writing music brotha! Your hella gud...
I would recommend a Gretsch,. For almost same price if you catch a deal. Or I just purchased a Squire classic vibe Starcaster for 360, new. There are so many other options at this price point. But of course it's all subjective.
Kilometers?😆😆😆 That was a good one. The guitar looks and sounds great! Thanks for posting!
Max, love your channel, love your playing, love your reviews...but, weight is 2.8 Kilometers???...LOL. That must be a Canadian weight....hehe
I like how the headstock narrows in a little. Just so you know that string angle isn't so sharp. It's good looking also and i love the satin finish. Just always a little shocking to see someone shreadin a hollow body
Exactly! 🎸
I think it's understandable the action would be too low... coming from Indonesia to N.A. is a huge drop in humidity. Unless they were set up in a temperature and humidity controlled shop, the neck would have moved in both directions during its nice long wait between manufacture and shipping. Results vary on your particular location and/or environmental control.
Which one is better? Firefly 338 or this?
Does it stay in tune? Because my Gibson guitars and Squier telecaster stay in tune for days.
