(see video)3 Star ReviewsPaul S. - Really?My tuners are just fine and stay in tune like the rest of my guitars that have tuners that work.Divots in frets after a couple weeks? I'd have to see that to believe itMine look shiny after a little use but that seems normal.Talking about replacing frets on a guitar that costs less than a fret replacement?Sounds like you just wanted to return it to me.Cameron - copied other reviews?Love to see this fret wear both 3 star reviews discuss my frets aren't having that problem.FEEDBACK is a feature set up your guitar for CLEAN if you don't want feedback.Amazon Customer - BEST REVIEW YET!The guitar IS COOL the app sucks but works.Several times it seemed the guitar wouldn't work unless it has WiFiStill haven't figured that out yet but it works now.App doesn't have a tuner and the auto shut off is non functional.(I think that's why I thought I had a battery problem)Enough, that's it for my review of reviews. Covered it all.Most of the reviewers didn't mess with the app and just didn't like the default settings.I own several ENYA guitarsI sent back the NEXG because it wanted me to create an online account or it would SHUT OFF!!!I own, and LOVE, my X4 PRO and my NOVA GO SP1I even installed a HyVibe in the X4 PRO it is so nice.BOTTOM LINE from a guy who's on stage 2-3 times a week.The crowd loves this thing, Open MIC musicians want one and my grandkid was absolutely befuddle by the feedback FEATURE.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Final thoughts:5-stars, a no brainer of a purchase.I think Enya knocked it out of the park with their all carbon X4 Acoustic guitar (I paid $799 for that instrument, would gladly pay it again despite the price actually coming down since then!). I bought the NEXG and was really disappointed with it, but decided to give this Nova Go Sonic a try anyway. I am really impressed and can wholeheartedly recommend it to solid electric players for an upgrade to your wooden instrument collection without breaking the bank. I don’t think you will regret it.Pros:*Great shape, smooth matte finish, stealthy/classy look and feel*Light weight*Great neck, very smooth, low action, access to high frets is amazing*Great rounded smooth frets*Quality AlNiCo pickups, clear, quiet, ... MoreFinal thoughts:5-stars, a no brainer of a purchase.I think Enya knocked it out of the park with their all carbon X4 Acoustic guitar (I paid $799 for that instrument, would gladly pay it again despite the price actually coming down since then!).

I don’t think you will regret it.Pros:*Great shape, smooth matte finish, stealthy/classy look and feel*Light weight*Great neck, very smooth, low action, access to high frets is amazing*Great rounded smooth frets*Quality AlNiCo pickups, clear, quiet, balanced and unique neck and bridge tones; Series/parallel switching maintains humbucking and cuts output like coil tap*Quality switches and potentiometer*Feels and plays like a $1000+ instrument at a fraction the cost; remarkable value*Built-in amp with speaker and various effects makes practice super easy and fun*Some of the built-in OD effects play just like the venerable Sustainiac (again at a fraction the cost)*I expect this instrument to last forever despite typical storage/jostling/bumping/playing/general use.*It really sounds great amplified, not unlike other of my quality H-H solid body guitars (again, at a fraction the cost).Cons:*Wish it had never-wear stainless frets for this otherwise very well-appointed instrument*While most of the effects are interesting and fun, some of the built-in effects are either dull or too harsh (but they are all customizable in the app, pretty fun to mess with for practice, and it is not necessary to use these when plugged into your amp, it plays it like a standard double humbucker solid guitar when ‘OFF’). I don’t think the effects could replace quality pedals or external DSP effects, but it is not priced to do this.*Neck is a little bit flexible for composite (like my wood instruments, I can flex the neck fore/aft to get flat/sharp tones, which I wouldn’t expect from carbon), but I’m sure it is stronger than any wood, and the truss rod adds additional strength and adjustment. Obviously there is no scarf joint (or any joint for that matter) to fail.Short video of my 13 year-old doing his classical guitar stuff on this Enya just to demonstrate the low action and clean tones. Amazon made me compress and reduce quality due to size, but the audio gets the point across. The amp is dry, all effects are coming from the guitar onboard effects.

TL;DR It does what I think it is made for very well. If you were only going to have one electric guitar, you could do a lot worse than this one for the price. The app is bad though.I picked this up as a living-room guitar due to being able to play without having to hook up any cables or anything. It just hangs on the wall and rocks when it's time to rock. For that, it's excellent. I'd previously purchased one of the little acoustic numbers (Nova Go 1/2 size) and been very impressed with the sound and playability in the small form factor. This guitar is just as playable but the proportions are pretty normal for an electric. It is surprisingly light overall and not neck-heavy like my more conventional wooden electric guitars. The fretboard is flat and the frets are ... MoreTL;DR It does what I think it is made for very well.

For that, it's excellent. I'd previously purchased one of the little acoustic numbers (Nova Go 1/2 size) and been very impressed with the sound and playability in the small form factor. This guitar is just as playable but the proportions are pretty normal for an electric. It is surprisingly light overall and not neck-heavy like my more conventional wooden electric guitars. The fretboard is flat and the frets are extremely well-dressed. Since it's cast, the neck is exactly as flat and level as it was in the factory when you open the box which when getting a guitar you can't play-test first is a huge bonus. It comes with a case but no strap, so get one of those too.The built in effects and speaker work how I expected them to. The speaker output isn't as good as you get out of a discrete amplifier, but that wasn't the point and I wasn't expecting it to be. You can jack it into an amplifier and the sound there is very good for stock electronics under a grand. It has four onboard "patches" that you can switch between by clicking a knob on the front. They're totally serviceable and can be adjusted using the app, which I'll get to talking about in more detail. It has an internal battery and is USB charged so everything you need to go out into the forest and scream at the squirrels is onboard. It gets louder than I need it to be for noodling in my living room. It's probably loud enough for busking or open-mic on it's own if you don't have to beat a drum kit or anything. It came with light strings on it and once stretched they stay in tune well so the tuning machines are at least decent.One of the main advantages of the acoustic when I was shopping for it was being made entirely out of carbon fiber and steel, which makes it more resistant to abuse like big temperature fluctuations and moisture or whacking it into things accidentally. This one is also made of carbon fiber (mostly, there's likely some plastic in there) but with the electronics I would think twice about leaving this one outside while camping or in my car overnight. I expect it to be just as resistant to things like dings and scratches.As for negative points, there aren't too many. The whole guitar resonates like crazy with the open low E string when playing though the speaker, especially with any kind of drive. It's not really an issue through an amp and I can work around it mostly by keeping the string muted when I'm not using it, but it might be more annoying for someone just learning how to play. It is much less pronounced with the "clean"-ish settings. The truss rod adjustment is done with a special tool, which will only be annoying if I lose it but when it's just a standard Allen wrench it's pretty easy to replace. I'll cross that bridge if I have to I suppose.My least favorite thing is the app. It requires extremely invasive permissions to use plus signing up for an account with a verified email address and doesn't really have a ton of functionality to justify these things. Each patch has a combination of the five or six "modules" that you can swap around and adjust which lets you create some different effects to mess with. I'm not going to keep it installed though as for living-room noodling the four defaults work just fine and I have enough corporations trying to harvest my data without inviting another one into my parlor. If you're already a guitar player then you probably have better effects to use anyway and if you're just starting out then what's there will get you a fair ways. The only thing I think I'll miss is the battery level, which is displayed in the app but otherwise you have to guess at. I'll just keep mine charging when I'm not playing it probably.The app isn't a deal-breaker for me so I'm still pretty happy with my purchase. I'd still buy it knowing what I know now. It was, however, worth dinging a star from the review.
