Enya Nova Go Sonic 39" Carbon Smart Electric Guitar, Built-in 10W Speaker

I bought two versions of this. I bought myself the JT signature model. I decided to get that model because I liked the fact that it had pick up covers. I liked the pick ups that it had in it better I liked that it had the face switching push pole knob and that it was also compatible with their wireless pedal. My wife and I have both been professional musicians most of our lives. We both predominantly play Gibsons. The thing that interested us, and these was the fact that you can toss them in your car and not worry about the heat getting to them or the cold. I’d seen other players compare these with Gibsons, but I didn’t really take it too seriously. Enya Sonic JT review: I’m shocked at how well it holds tune and how low the action is. The built-in effects sound great in the app is really easy to modify them with. I had no problems with the app. I don’t understand why it doesn’t have a better review on the App Store, but it works great and has way more features than what I’d even realized. The tone of the guitar is compressed, but in a good way, I was actually shocked how clear it sounded when recording with it. He’s really aren’t your standard pick ups. It’s very easy to pick out the individual notes. It’s got a very clear crisp sound to it. The tone switch adds depth, but not muddiness to the Guitar. It’s much lighter than my Gibsons and I love the shape and feel of the neck. It feels very smooth to play. The volume of the built-in speaker is more than adequate to be able to practice and sing-along. The aesthetic of the Guitar in person is very much like if APPLE came up with an iPhone Guitar. It’s very sleek and luxurious looking. It has a different feel to it and more residence than any Guitar I’ve ever played actually, which really surprised me. The tuning stability. It’s kind of mind blowing. I guess. I never really noticed how much I had to tune my guitars until I had one that I virtually never have to tune. I play a lot of different genres as a studio musician. Everything from pop to blues to metal in this Guitar is more than capable of doing it. It works great for studio use and practice, but I wouldn’t really recommend it for stage use. The reason being is that the mixture of the insane amount of residence that the Guitar has and the pick ups can kind of cause a feedback if you’re moving into distortion. It works great for clean live. The quality of the build and everything is so good that I’ve actually thought about getting another one just to tear the electronics out of so I could put some pick ups that are a little more distortion friendly into just to see what happens. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend this Guitar. The white Enya Sonic review: I bought this one for my wife. I can’t really tell the volume difference between the 10 W on this one and the 15 W amp on the JT model. Play ability feels the same. It also has the push pole knob, which I believe change his phase for the pick ups as well. It doesn’t have a tone knob and the pre-loaded effects don’t sound as fancy as the JT model. The color of white that it is is beautiful though it’s very ever so slightly sparkly. Again, I would highly recommend this Guitar to anyone, and so would she. Both guitars are very comparable and feel except the next fuel a little different. The white one feels a little more like a standard shape whereas the JT model has more of a V shaped neck by the head stock, but both of the necks are very slim and comfortable. We love them because it’s so easy just to flip them on and play right there without having to hook anything up. it’s great to be able to leave them in the car and not worry about the neck warping. I guess the only thing left now to do is to get sponsored by these cats. Lol Cheers!

Did a ton of research and watched everything on YT before making purchase. I knew I was likely getting a pretty great guitar at a good price (with a small but possible chance of getting a broken one)... Turns out I made a really good choice. If it keeps working well for a few years it will be a great choice! It came well packaged with everything. Physically it is in perfect condition. I did have to tune it. Took a few minutes to figure out the app but all good there too. Only minor feedback I could give to the folks at enya is that I purchased the "ocean blue" and the fade on the guitar body is not well done. It's not horrible, but it's not nearly as well done as the picture shows. I noticed the same thing when watching YT - some of the "ocean blue's" were well painted closer to the nice fade seen in the publicity images however some were like mine - MUCH heavier on the full deep blue. I'm going on a hunch here but the ones they sent out for promo reviews might have received a tiny bit more attention To explain: In the photos (and in some videos) the full deep blue stops around the bridge and slowly blends over a few inches from deep blue into white in a nice straight even way ending just after the first pickup. What I received (and saw others had) was one painted full deep blue up into the first pickup and also ENDING the fade into white before the end of the pickup.... All of a whole approximate 1" band wide fade! A whole inch of actual visible blue. It almost looks like I have a black and white guitar with a narrow blue band. Probably would have been closer to name this paint job "mariana trench blue", lol. What makes it more noticeable is that it's painted in a curve and unevenly blended way across the face . I'm not exaggerating when I say it looks like something I could do with a spray can of white paint against a piece of dark blue poster board by arcing my arm back and forth pretending to airbrush. Oddly, the headstock fade looks great (evenness and straightness). Okay, sorry for the lengthy feedback. It actually looks really great still - even though it's not quite what the marketing photos and sponsored video reviews might have you hoping for so be wary if the look being like the pictures is important to you. A perfect paintjob isn't a must for me. I'm not performing with it. That leads into... I bought it with the intent to use it for learning, practicing and even some song writing. It's perfect for it. Even taking places and playing out and about and not having to have any other equipment or being concerned about temperature / humidity (yay carbon fiber). I wouldn't leave it in a fiery hot car but non extremes wouldn't have any impact. But camping, BBQ's, picnics. It would be perfect. TLDR: I love this thing, It feels great. Plays great/easy. Everything is working well so far. It sounds really good. I'm overall very satisfied and very happy with this purchase. This is an EXCELLENT guitar for an incredible value. I wouldn't be performing with it - i.e. they introduced a pedal as a feature for the new slightly more expensive "Inspire" model to allow switching to (some) effects directly. The "Go Sonic" does not have this pedal available. You are stuck using the button on the guitar going sequentially through them. Would love to see that offered as an optional add on for this guitar too. This guitar so far seems like one of those rare things that come along that's a lot better than anyone would expect. It's built great quality wise. Made of carbon fiber. Feels good. Easy to play. Sounds great. Well designed. Full of awesome features like a zero fret. And if this guitar is intended for a beginner - wow! It's perfect for any beginner who is serious. It would be like getting a new sports car for driver's training! lol Hope this is helpful to someone!

I’ve owned a few guitars over the years, but the Enya Nova Go Sonic is easily the most innovative piece of gear in my collection. Being made of carbon fiber, it feels incredibly sturdy yet lightweight, and I never have to worry about humidity or temperature warping the neck. It stays in tune perfectly, no matter where I take it. The integrated speaker and smart features are the real game-changers here. Being able to toggle through high-quality built-in effects (delay, reverb, distortion) without plugging into an amp or pedals is incredibly liberating for practicing on the couch or traveling. The clean tones are surprisingly crisp, and the high-gain presets have some serious bite. The playability is top-notch right out of the box. The neck profile is slim and fast, and the zero-fret design makes the action feel consistent across the entire fretboard. Plus, the fact that it doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and has a headphone jack for silent practice makes it the ultimate all-in-one tool for modern players. If you’re looking for a guitar that’s durable, portable, and packed with tech that actually sounds good, this is it. Enya has really raised the bar for what a "smart" guitar can be!

I bought this because I have one of Enya's travel guitars, which I love. When I saw an online review of the Go Sonic, I immediately ordered one. As with the online review I saw (where the reviewer favorably compared the Go Sonic with his $6,500 guitar), I was amazed that such a great guitar could be purchased for so little money. I expected it to be more expensive because of the tariff situation, but it was just a little over $300. This is what Enya did right with this guitar: * The build quality and attention to detail is better that what you'll find in new Gibsons. There were zero flaws. * The playability is wonderful and easily adjustable. The truss rod is easily accessed and really helps here with action control. I could get this guitar to play exactly as I wanted without having to touch the nut. * It sounds great. (I could write a lot more about this, but, in the interest of brevity, will leave it at "sounds great.) * The fact that it has a built-in speaker that sounds good makes this a wonderful practice guitar (see next item), but the guitar is good enough to gig with. If I ever had to play at a venue with flying beer bottles, the Go Sonic is the guitar I'd take. * The carbon build, for me, carries two huge advantages: 1. I can leave it out permanently and, if my animals knock it over, it is far more resistant to damage than a wood guitar would be, and 2. I can leave it out and it won't be negatively affected by temperature and humidity changes. In fact, it never goes out of tune. The upshot is this: This is my "always out" guitar because I'm secure that nothing bad will happen to it. However, if I was wrong about that and a meteor hit it or something, I'm only out about $300. * The onboard electronics are great, especially if you like a little crunch. (Having said that, the clean tone is good, too, although in onboard speaker struggles to get it loud enough). * It looks cool. The only "con" I can think of: I wish it had a physical tone knob. I don't understand how such a great instrument can be offered at such a low price. It can't just be the lower labor costs in China. I think it's more likely that this is due to some very smart people at Enya making very good decisions.

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 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.

Through my initial period of play and inspection, I have been very impressed with the new Enya Nova Go Sonic. I own an Enya Uke, and two other Enya guitars (Nova GO and NexG). I also own several other guitars and instruments. I have found the Sonic to be extremely comfortable to play. I am absolutely loving the playability of this guitar. The Sonic compares favorably with my favorite Strat in this regard. The weight is negligible, yet enough to feel solid. The neck is so smooth. The neck has a flatter profile similar to ones I have played in the Fender Ultra series with the wonderful neck heel. The black carbon fiber finish presents an aesthetic I love. The fit-and-finish are near flawless to my eye. This guitar represents a great value to the modern musician. On-board digital effects with customizable parameters and a built-in 10-watt speaker with blue-tooth phone app control and customization make this a formidable little axe. I have not scratched the surface of editable presets yet, although I have spent alot of time working between presets and the wonderful tonal options presented by the two humbuckers and a push-pull for coil configuration (something I have always desired). Many of the features I have wanted (found in the expensive Fender Ultra series) are present here. I am obviously more of a Fender guy, although I own a Les Paul upon which the Sonic body style is based. I also have a PRS guitar which is a dual humbucker. I think this guitar could be an incredible tool for the performing musician. Conceivably one need not necessarily lug about all manner of pedalboards, etc. I cannot attest to this in practice, but I intend to check it out. I have taken my other Enya instruments on trips with me and the portability and accessibility of Enya gear makes a trip to the mountains magical. A little down time, even in the car, becomes a musical adventure. I believe the Enya Nova Go Sonic is also a songwriters dream - a self-contained, portable instrument with myriad sonic options to explore and OTG recording. Is this a multi-grand ultra/elite guitar, or a Les Paul? You be the judge. Does it need to be? Are you looking for a quality musical tool at a good price? Can I throw my Strat or LP into the backseat and head to the mountains? Sorta. I guess. Conceptually, the marriage of instrument and sound-processing capabilities in one “sports car” package at a value price is a likely game-changer in the way musicians like myself go after their craft. Welcome to the Sonic Age…

The volume on the built in speaker really low at full volume. The tones on the app are terrible. I spent a lot of time trying to adjust the tone to no avail. I had a pair of over ear head phones but they didn’t work with the guitar. Not sure if that was due to the headphones though. I used an external amp and it was closer to the tone I’m used to, but that defeats the purpose of this type of guitar. I wanted to buy the guitar to be able practice quieter. I do not recommend this guitar even for beginners. It’s just another gimmick. I’m not happy with my purchase at all.

I purchased the Novo Go Sonic...no discount other than the Prime Day deal. I've been playing since I was a kid and own an embarrassingly stupid number of guitars. I'd been looking at the Enya guitars for a while because I've wanted an electric with an on-board amp to have around the office. After buying a little Pignose guitar which doesn't stay in tune and sounds terrible. I finally grabbed a Nova Go Sonic during Prime Day and have been having a blast with it since it arrived. Even with the the electronics and on-board speaker, it weighs just under 7lb's. It was set up well from the factory, seldom needs to be tuned (even after leaving it in the car for the afternoon), the fit and finish are great for a sub-$400 guitar and the included gig bag is really nice. The fun comes with the built in amp and effects which exceeded my expectations. There are 4 presets in the guitar which are available at the push of a button, and the guitar syncs wirelessly (and seamlessly) to an Enya iOS app which has plenty of additional presets you can tweak or use as-is and save to the guitar. The tone is nice and very 3-dimmensional coming out of the on-board speaker. It's not particularly loud but it sounds BIG. I've always loved the sound of controlled feedback (not squeal but controlled harmonic sustain) that you can get with a guitar next to an amp. The little Novo Go Sonic (and Inspire) do it GREAT!!! The amp models and effects include: Deluxe Clean & 100 Distortion amp models 5-Band EQ Modulation (Chorus, Trem or Vibrato) Noise Reduction Delay Reverb I've had the Sonic for a couple of weeks now and it's held up great. I haven't plugged it into one of my amps yet to see how it performs as a traditional guitar and I haven't tried hooking it up to BT to play along with a track through the guitar's speaker, which I believe it can do. The Sonic has been such a blast that I've since gotten an Enya Inspire for the house. The Inspire is basically a Super Strat with a trem and a bit louder internal amp. It does everything the Sonic does and more !!! You can't go wrong with either one of these...loads of fun and an amazing value !!!

Just want to say this thing is amazing. My fingers hurt because i cant put it down. Its light and all around feels very good to play. I have a few nice guitars, multi fx pedal and a marshal half stack and find im playing this guitar more then any one of them. I had some string buzz, contacted the manufacturer and they walked me through fixing it. I highly recomend this brand and company. They really do love their product and stand behind it 100%. The speakers sound pretty good. If you get feedback, in the app that pairs to the guitar there is a mixer option that lets u increase or decrease the volume that will fix the feed back. The app itself is pretty straight forward and ive made some pretty good metal tones from it. Only thing i can say about the app is id like more options for cabinets, pedals etc. But for it being a free app. I cant complain at all since i have come up with some pretty cool tones. 1 of my favorite things is you can save tones to the button in certain orders. When i play bucketheads soothsayer i start with a cleanish tone for the start, slap the button to a metal tone and slay the next part in distortion. I 100% prefer it to stomping a foot pedal. You can play backing tracks from spotify thru the speakers and play along with songs. I dont do this often but when i did it was actually a blast. Ive hung mine above my couch. Might have been a mistake because i cant keep my hands off it but it really is the perfect little lay back and jam couch guitar with no cords or mess. Just pick up and play. Almost forgot to mention plugging headphones into this is insane. Sounds sooo good. I got a cheap pair of over ear headphones and am still in shock at just how good it sounds through them. Overall this product is great! I do feel sorry for my poor little fingers as i cant put this guitar down but If you are on the fence about getting 1 of these, i promise it is worth it and more. Even without the fancy gimmicks that sold me on this. If it had no speaker, if it had no built in multi fx and stayed this price. I would still be rocking this thing thru my pedals and amp over my other guitars because it just feels that good.

Yes

Ganz ok.

Amazing product

Excelente guitarra, muy buenos materiales, funciona a la perfección. Muy recomendable.
