Enya Nova Go Mini guitar

with the enya nova go being exceptionally well received, I've purchased the budget travel 1/4 size 'mini' version for its looks and sound at a bargain price of £80/$100?
at 32"long and with no effects built in, is it for me?

Thanks for the review. May try one out. I think the issue you had with barring was your manly sausage fingers 😂 In my experience travel size guitars require an adaption in playing style compared to full size. Be interesting to try one of these out 👍

[@asc24hoth]

Thank you for watching. I struggled with this one and a harley benton ds-10 mini but not my harley benton Delta blues t which is almost the same size . I also have 2 concert ukuleles that I can fret fine but...let me know how you get on, it's a fantastic object, just unusable for me as an instrument.

[@Mr.Distance]

Nice playing man. This thing seems to sound great for gentle picking!

[@asc24hoth]

I couldn't fret it properly, (fat fingers/slender fret margins)and it always sounded slightly out if tune. We sent it back. That said thank you for taking time to watch.

[@cruisip9722]

Thanks , someone say have minor intonation issue

[@woowwoow6543]

Try tuning a to a, mostly guitalele which is similar in scale length tuning in a

[@asc24hoth]

Thanks for watching but I sent it back, fret wise my fat fingers couldn't cope.

[@chongheng3541]

Would this be ok for a beginner that mostly plays chords for singing?

[@asc24hoth]

Thanks for watching but no, not in my opinion the next size up might be better but costs a lot more, it's had very positive reviews. This mini might be cheap but it's not practical.

[@chongheng3541]

Alright thanks a bunch!

@@asc24hothwhat would be the reason why it's not recommended for beginners for playing only chirds?

[@sonnyhernandez9782]

The onyl issue is you cant amplify that right?

[@asc24hoth]

No, the sound was OK for just practice. The real issues I had were that even some basic chords were hard to fret as it's got quite a thin and short scaled fretboard. I could have compromised with that for the way it looked but it wouldn't tune right either. The low e string was out for either open or bar chords if u played one type of chord the tuning was then out for the other. Thank you for watching.

Hi, do you know what string gauge comes stock on the Nova Go Mini? Thank you😊

[@asc24hoth]

I am sorry I dont, I sent it back shortly after the video as it was hard for me to play due to my thick fingers and it wouldn't seem to stay in tune the intonation seemed a bit off. Thank u for watching, sorry I can't be of help.

[@RobertBartko]

@@asc24hoth thanks for your reply. Yes, the frets are really tight , and my goodness… the intonation is a mess.

[@marcymcflybv1558]

In my spec sheet it says Enya Custom. Might replace it with a D'addario or Elixir

[@RobertBartko]

@@marcymcflybv1558 thanks so much 🥰

[@marcymcflybv1558]

@@RobertBartko no prob, but I realized I didn't fully answered your question 😅. I guess this is a 12g tho.

[@HirusenEsp]

is it low action ?

[@asc24hoth]

Decent enough but I struggled with the small frets and intonation

[@doitallgamez3626]

I'm 6'2 would you recommend this guitar

[@asc24hoth]

Thanks for watching sadly I can't say that I recommend it at all to anyone. I couldn't get a decent chord out of it. I don't think your height will be the issue. My fingers are rather thick, this appears to be my main barrier to being able to play it as the frets are very narrow.
