Wow!!!
So I bought this fully intending to use it mostly for when I travel, but when I pulled it out of the box I was absolutely mind blown at the quality and feel. It’s very light; the body is small but not so small that it’s hard to play. The cut outs in the body are placed well and allow for easy playing while at a desk. It plays amazing and the pickups are actually pretty good. I was thinking about swapping them out for some DiMarzios but these are good enough that I haven’t bothered to look into that a whole lot. I use amp sims almost exclusively though so I cannot speak for regular amp performance. The bone nut is a really cool feature for such an inexpensive guitar, and the frets are polished well and are smooth.The out of the box set up was pretty good and there doesn’t appear to be any dead notes. Making adjustments is easy, and I absolutely love the wheel at the bottom of the neck for adjusting the truss rod. Way better than having to jam a wrench in between the strings on the headstock.Hugely impressed with this guitar! I was initially a little skeptical but it very quickly became a favorite to pick up. If you are interested in a headless and don’t have Strandberg money, this is 100% a killer option. I’d love to see a 7 string in the future, I absolutely would not hesitate. The finish is very cool and unique, but seeing some standard finishes would also be a lot of fun.My only gripe is that the bridge sits up higher than what I’m used to, so palm muting and chugging took a little getting used to. I’d also love to see a gig bag made available, I had to find one on eBay that would fit it. These notes are not enough for me to give any less than 5 stars though!

Awesome Guitar, Awesome Company!
The media could not be loaded. 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.

Absolutely amazing quality and sound
I bought this on a whim. I have Suhr, Gibson, PRS, etc guitars so I really don't need any more instruments. I just enjoy working on guitar related stuff so I'll occasionally buy a "project" to mess around with crowning / leveling frets or electronics. I ordered this figuring that I would need to really put some time and effort into this to make it playable. Plus I don't have a headless guitar so there's that.But so far this guitar needs nothing. Seriously. I'm sincerely impressed with this instrument!Construction:The wood is nicely finished and smooth. The clear coating is well done and the grain of the wood is actually attractive. All of the joints are tight, the controls are smooth, the pickup switch is nicely detented, and all of the screws are firmly fastened. At this price occasionally that's not the norm at all.Fretwork:The fretwork isn't PERFECT . . . but it's WAY better than what you'd get on a $500 Squier. It call it easily the match or better than a production Ibanez though.Pickups and electronics:The pickups are Eart's house brand (I guess) but I don't think that I'll be replacing them. They sound great - a nice chimey neck pickup and a mid-focused but shimmery bridge tone. The middle position sounds great as well. They aren't Seymour Duncans or Suhr pickups but they sound as good as the pickups in my PRS SEs. Amazing value and tone for the price! The electronics are very well soldered - heck they even use full size pots!Setup and hardware:The hardware is decent. The headstock end of the string holders is sleek and simple - the bridge is the only slight con of this guitar for me. The bridge holds tune well but the tuners are stiff and very temperamental - it takes very little turning to over/under tune the note you were aiming for. You just have to be very careful as you turn them. The setup and action out of the box were pretty much spot on - I might lower it a bit after it acclimatizes to my home but frankly I'm amazed. The setup is FAR better than the out of the box setup on any guitar that I've bought for less than $1000. Who ever worked on this one was a great setup person considering that it came all of the way from China and *still* had decent action and prefect intonation.I don't usually write reviews but this guitar and the attention to detail that went into it deserve it. Absolutely amazing quality for the money - I will be buying more of these for other experiments. I'd love to have one with P90s!Folks at Eart - you need to develop a fanned fret seven string version as well. If you do please let me know - I'd love to help you with product testing on that. You all know how to build a guitar!
