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!

Build Quality & Comfort The INSPIRE’s high-quality plastic construction gives it solid, well-balanced feel while weighing just under 8 lbs., that's over 1 lb. less than my Fender Strat. While this may not seem significant at first, the lighter weight noticeably reduces fatigue during extended play sessions. The Strat-style body makes it very comfortable to play while sitting or standing. Its seamless build eliminates visible joints, the one exception being a removable plate on the back (all screws having a rubber covering to increase comfort) to presumably access the electronics inside. The fretboard has a smooth plastic finish, and the frets have rounded edges that stop just short of the edge of the fretboard, further improving comfort and playability as you play up and down the neck. Setup & Playability Out of the box, the INSPIRE arrives fully set up, requiring only a quick retune before playing. The action is low and well-adjusted, and the tension in the neck was set perfectly from factory. The string spacing and neck profile also feels very comfortable in my hands, allowing my stubbier fingers to comfortably play an A-chord using 1-2-3 fingering as opposed to 2-1-3 fingering. The closed tuners function smoothly and look great on this guitar. Smart Features & Sound Customization One of the standout features of the INSPIRE is the built-in sound processor and 15W speaker, which delivers rich, dynamic tones without requiring the additional purchase of effects pedals or external amplifiers. The guitar has an effects button that lets you cycle through 4 presets. Using the Enya Music app paired with your guitar, you can completely customize these presets using virtual pedal effects like amp model, equalizer, modulation, noise reduction, delay, and reverb. You also get access to additional presets in the app, a volume mixer, and other settings to adjust guitar behavior and updates. Also worth mentioning is the SSH pickup configuration and 5-way pickup selection switch that offers tonal flexibility to play multiple genres, and the push-pull volume knob enables coil switching to further enhance the guitar’s sonic range to dial in the sound you're looking for (a feature that is typically associated with higher-end guitars). Practicality & Versatility The INSPIRE has 3 ports: a 3.5mm headphone output, a 1/4" TS output jack, and USB-C for charging the built-in battery. While I haven't formally tested battery life, I've consistently been able to play for extended sessions without needing to recharge. This guitar is great and convenient for practice sessions since it can be played relatively silently with headphones plugged in (the natural sound of the strings is still audible due to the hollow plastic construction). It can also be played using the built-in speaker or plugged into an interface or external amp, all of which will also include whatever internal sound effects you have enabled in your preset. This versatility allows the use of the INSPIRE for private practice at home, recording sessions, and live performances without much additional hardware. Final Thoughts The Enya INSPIRE combines exceptional craftsmanship, modern features, and thoughtful design into an instrument that is comfortable, intuitive, and highly playable. For continued practice, casual sessions, and flexible sound shaping, it stands out as a top-tier option that balances innovation with practicality. Why trust my review? I am not a professional guitar player, but I appreciate a fine instrument. I've been playing ukuleles and guitars since 2020, and I've explored several instruments that balance quality, playability, tonality, and durability. Since my first purchase of an Enya Nova U Mini ukulele for poolside use, I immediately fell in love with the fit and finish of Enya's plastic instrument. Later purchasing the Nova U Pro (tenor ukulele), the Nova Go (3/4 acoustic guitar), and most recently this Nova INSPIRE, these consistently high-quality products provide great value for your dollar that have resulted in me putting more hours into playing them than my more expensive wooden instruments. Enya's customer support has also been very responsive and helpful to work with. I haven't yet played or handled their non-plastic instruments, but I can wholeheartedly recommend all of the above.

As an electric guitar, it's pretty decent. Lightweight, ergonomic, seems sturdy and reliable. It came setup pretty nicely out of the box, good action, good intonation, mostly in tune (given it was transported and changed climate surely). Playable out of the box. The pickups sound fine, frets are fine, zero nut is nice to have. No complaints on it as a guitar. But the party gimmick, built-in modeler and tuner, is AWESOME! Don't get me wrong - this will *not* replace dedicated pedals and amps. The modeller is very basic, and the effects don't sound great; reverb is fine-ish, distortion and drive are OK, delay is meh at best. The speaker can resonate at certain frequencies and feedbacks like crazy. Overall, it doesn't exactly sound like professional setup :-) But who cares! That's not what it's for! What it's for is that you can take this guitar outside of your studio, pick it up on the couch, bedroom, porch, park, cottage, picnic, backyard, *wherever*, and play an electric guitar without any other bits and pieces and cables and power and headphones and so on. It is LIBERATING and an absolute joy to play. If you're experienced, this will not replace your setup even a little bit, but it's a great addition with great freedom of movement. If you're a beginner, I honestly think this is not a bad way to start. As an electric guitar, it's perfectly fine, so the built-in modeller and speaker are just a very nice convenient extra bonus, and it WILL encourage you to play and learn :)

Bought it and got a faulty one but thanks to enya support especially sophia they gave me a replacement they even gave me a wireless pedal as a gift so i give it a 5 star

Si me gusto

Decent on board sounds, excellent build, good strong tuning heads, easy truss rod adjustable, however you can't remove the back under warranty which is a nuisance if a string breaks and gets stuck inside, also the app is useless, I've tried connecting all day no success. No UK adaptor. Update: Because of this I got in touch with Amazon and they advised to return it for safety reasons as the wrong adaptor was sent and the lady said they would remove the item. So I have to repack and they are picking it up tomorrow.

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.
