This is a pretty slick guitar very well worth the price. My biggest concern is if I wish to change the pickups that it's a very complex wiring because of the added amp.
Thanks for the review - just ordered one now off Amazon - been playing since 1987 and I just want something minimal and lightweight to mess around with in bed or when I'm lazing on the couch with NO CABLES (ie. built in speakers) that isn't a Casio or Yamaha toy guitar from the 80s!
Congrats, I think you'll really like the guitar and that's really what it's best at. If you'd like I think I can share some of my presets with you, just shoot an email to aminorerrorrocks@gmail.com and I'll figure out how to make that happen. Thanks for watching!
@@aminorerror Your videos are great. If you have not picked up a Strandberg with True Temperament frets you are missing out! What it does for sustain and natural harmonics is unreal. This Nova guitar seems cool. If I get one... I'd definitely want to get the frets replaced at some point. Nickel frets are terrible on any guitar, too soft for most strings. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate you giving the channel a sub! I haven't checked out a true temperament guitar yet, they're just so freaking expensive I can get like 8 guitars in for review for the same amount of cash and I'm not in the market for a new guitar to keep so idk when I'll be able to check out the true temperament ones. They look really cool and I do think they're revolutionary and cutting edge though. Maybe the price will come down in the future!
I saw in a bunch of reviews people said the frets are a soft alloy and show wear even after just a few hours of playing, what are your thoughts on this? I bought the much cheaper Nova Go acoustic because of this but it's great and I'm still curious about getting a Sonic at some point
Thanks for watching and giving the channel a sub! My experience hasn't been that and I've spent quite a few hours using the guitar (that should be pretty obvious from my demo track too). Maybe they've changed the quality of the frets or some other people aren't the best at using a light touch when playing (that goes even more so for bending). The zero fret on this guitar is the component I'm most skeptical of lasting. Strandberg uses a higher quality/harder stainless steel fret for their zero frets and they still have problems with them wearing (although all of my 'bergs have been solid).
Thanks for watching! Depends on how serious you plan to take your productions. If you're looking to start doing some recording and like having a built in amp and fx then this will work great. Anything beyond that just be aware of the built in FX's limitation. Good luck!
I was so going to buy this untill I heard that putting the in guitar amp vol to anywhere above 50% will result in perpetual feedback. I wanted to be my GO TO travel guitar + using it for small cafe open mic gigs/ busking but considering I can't crank up the volume without that jarring vibration has left me truly sceptical.....I have other standard guitars but needed dedicated ones for the travel companion......I'm now eyeing the blackstar carryon guitar with a portable GTR fx pedal/headphone amp like the mooer prime or nux mighty plug pro..... Really hoping someone debunks that excess feedback thing on this go sonic so that I can pick one up
The feedback is only an issue on high gain amp tones and it's def not designed to be loud enough to be used for an open mic gig. This is for bedroom practicing volumes only, thanks for watching
