EART Headless Electric Guitar fix Bridge for 6 String Travel Guitar Small But Full-scale LEAF Guitar Ultra-Light For Travel and Performance Right Solid-Body Guitar, Natural (GW2)

For 417 (CDN) plus tax to my door in four days is one thing. For it to look amazing is another. For it to play amazing with ZERO set up is another. Best guitar purchase is a very long time. Playing for 40+ years. played em all, own a few. This guitar feels great - neck is amazing. I could sit here and write for a while about this product. Very happy. Seriously very happy. I don't have a problem with the pick ups or the hard ware. Bridge may need a replacement at some point. Fun Fun Fun.

I purchased this guitar despite being skeptical about it being any good due to the very affordable price. I also did have a small hiccup with the first guitar I ordered but EART was quick to respond and save the day. Hands down the best support I have seen especially with what seems like a small player in the guitar game, at least here in the US. On to the guitar itself. Aesthetically it is very stunning and easily rivals more expensive guitars in the looks department. Right out of the box the guitar was playable but the action was not to my liking so I spent a few minutes lowering the action as far as it could. This bridge is very good at staying in tune but is a little tricky if it's your first time working on a headless guitar. I figured it out pretty quickly though. Google and YouTube is a good place to start. The body is very comfortable. The pickup routes might not be perfect but for the price I cant complain nor will it ever affect playability. The 5 piece neck feels great with absolutely no problem hitting the 24th fret. The fretwork is very nice and the fret ends are better than even some of my high end USA and Japan made guitars. That being said, it blows guitars in its price range out of the water. I'd compare it to guitars in the $500-$700 range. The pickups sound surprisingly good and the only real drawback I could find is that the guitar is not shielded so you will have some hum. Its quite easy enough to remedy with some shielding paint or even some copper or aluminum tape. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and impressed with the support from EART. Of course for this price it is not perfect but it's damn close in the places that matter. If you're thinking of buying this guitar I would advise you to pull the trigger. Just know you might have to put in some time to set it up a bit.

This guitar is so comfortable to play! Neck feels wonderful, action is low without buzzing, it's ergonomic and back feels less tired. Love it so much. I've played a number of electric guitars over the years, and my eart Headless has become my favorite.

UPDATE: I don't see it mentioned anywhere else, but regarding the output jack -- When I removed the cavity-cover to look into shielding it, I noticed the jack has 3 terminals on the back... so I plugged in a TRS cable and used the multimeter to check continuity from the terminals to each of tip/ring/sleeve on the other end of the cable. It IS a TRS jack. Mine has the ground wired to the "ring" contact so using a TRS cable doesn't work right, but still... I had to do the amazon replacement on the first one. It had an issue with the bridge being wonky, and the burling of the veneer top was a bit excessive -- to the point that it looked to have some minor chipping around the deeper/wider "pockmarks". It's something I'd be OK with on a used guitar, but not on a new one. These bridges are a neat design, but they do suffer from the issue that they're cast from soft metal instead of being machined from more solid stock. The first one I got seemed to be assembled poorly/incorrectly, with at least one of the grub-screws for saddle-adjustment being crooked and stripping out the hole. ...that's a QA/QC thing, but would be pretty easy to miss. The sort of thing you're only likely to notice when you adjust intonation. Can't hold that one against EART, since they aren't the ones who make these bridges, they just install them. Apart from those two issues, I'm pretty impressed with it. Fretwork is very nicely done -- a little uneven, but they're nicely polished/rounded, no sharp edges, no sprout, no dead-frets, etc. nothing that interferes with the playability. I love that 5-piece neck. Fretboard is smooth. weight is low and balance is perfect. I don't know what sort of pickups are in it, but they sound fantastic. I may replace them eventually, but only if I'm in a tinkering mood... there's not really any other reason I'd want to, they really do sound good. The wiring/soldering in the control-cavity is well-done. ...but I did the amazon replacement thing due to the issues I mentioned earlier. The replacement was better in almost every respect. Not just correcting the things I mentioned, but the grain looks nicer (all over - the top, the back, the neck), the neck feels smoother, the frets are still a tiny bit uneven but they're closer to even than the first one was. If I was really determined to find fault (besides just withing the bridge was more solidly built), I guess the tone-pot is a bit stiff to turn. Not "scratchy", it just doesn't turn smoothly. Strangely, it was like that on the first one too... just the tone pot, not the volume. That may wear-in, or a shot of DeoxIT might fix it. The cover for the control-cavity is almost too perfect a fit, making it difficult to remove. Complaining about anything being "too perfect" feels overly nitpicky though. The cavity is unshielded, but that's an easy fix. ...on the subject of the pots, some folks complained about the knobs on the vol/tone pot... I actually kind of like the way they look, but not the way they feel. Those are the only things I might change right away. If you like headless guitars, this is unquestionable the nicest one I've found for anywhere near this price-point. I might even grow to like it more than my Steinberger.

When I first got the guitar I was really disappointed with the action. It looks like it was set high to reduce string buzz. I was a little confused because everyone was raving about the low action and easy playability. I was ready to return it after a half hour. The reason for the high action was a considerable bow in the neck. About 2mm at the 8th fret with 1st and 24th fret pressed down. So I proceeded to adjust the neck. I gave the trust rod a quarter turn every half hour until I got less than a half mm at the 8th fret. Then I was able to lower the action way more than my les paul and strat with very minor buzz when playing hard. The action is now perfect. The guitar comes with 10 to 48s but I will soon switch to ernie ball super slinky 9 to 42s which are my preferred strings. Sound wise, the pickups sound really good for a guitar of this price. The neck is smooth and the bridge is less bright than a semour duncan distortion humbucker. But still handles distortion very well. It has 14k ohm bridge and close to 8k ohm at the neck. At the end, it turned out to be a great guitar. Nice look, compact but full scale, light weight compared to my 76 les paul, and a great non-harsh sounding guitar which keeps tune. If you order one and it is not setup properly, take the time to set it up and you will have a great guitar. Highly recommended.
