a very different type of guitar in this video
this is the Enya nexG 2 travel acoustic Wireless future guitar
so the in your nexG 2 is really all three a carbon fiber guitar which comes with diadario acoustic
guitar strings and ships in a beautiful padded soft gig bag you attach the upper arm with two
thumb screws which also doubles as the strap buttons and it's all done in seconds there's
a fantastic wireless charging stand with the deluxe version and to be honest it looks like
a piece of art when it's charging on the stand it really does look so cool and that indicates
that this guitar is a little bit unique there's also a color touchscreen where you can select
different parameters the Looper drum machine and guitar tones such as acoustic rock some
effects and so on more of course in the app plus there's a tuner too really easy to navigate and
the built-in speakers are actually really good plenty of bass and the mids and highs from it
are nice because it has a woofer and a tweeter in there and it sounds like an acoustic guitar when
playing it pretty silent though when the control panel isn't engaged so let's first take a listen
to it and I'll mic it with a blue baby bottle condenser straight into Logic No post processing
now the guitar also has a line out for your guitar lining for another mic and
a headphone out as well for silent jamming as well as Bluetooth functionality which means you can run
your smartphone through it to play backing tracks for example and there's also a Bluetooth wireless
foot switch with the deluxe edition which gives you better control over the Looper and drums it
makes looping a whole lot easier as a touchscreen It's tricky to engage accurately when looping and
in the Box you also get this Bluetooth microphone which you can sing through and it has added Reverb
and the sound comes out of the speaker on the guitar or you can use the microphone to profile
your favorite acoustic guitar and use that tone in the nexG 2 guitar it's one of the presets
and there's also a pair of really good in-ear monitors included with the deluxe edition as well
this really does have it all now of course there's an app that connects
via Bluetooth for added functionality plenty of tones sounds effects and lots
of added extras just register with your email address it was really easy for me
and you also get access to the drums Looper and a mixer and so on so let's check that out
you get plenty of goodies with the NexG 2 guitar including a pair of Wireless in-ear monitors as
I said the microphone Etc it's like a complete gigging setup in one convenient case but what's it
like as a guitar the playability is pretty decent I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner though
purely because the tactile feedback isn't the same as an acoustic guitar the Frets are quite low and
there's a zero for it as well and the action at the 12th is slightly higher than that of a
regular acoustic I did adjust the truss rod though but that only goes so far also when you slide a
note on acoustic it will ring and sustain a little one that doesn't really happen on the nexG 2 maybe
it's fingerboard material I don't know having said that it is a lot of fun to play and not difficult
to play by any means and I found it comfortable in the playing experience was good carbon fiber
neck feels great as do the tuners and it plays like a normal guitar wood it does weigh quite
a bit more than an acoustic they were close to seven pounds with the speakers and electronics of
course but you do get four colors to choose from and some really nice ones as well for all tastes
okay then who's it for well it's a fun guitar to play first off and I played with that a lot over
the last two weeks and it's really inspiring and Incredibly unique it's an all-rounder
somebody fancies an acoustic but wants to rock out someone who wants to play along with backing
tracks or the drum machine and the Looper and they like to have a sing-along or know someone
that likes to sing and we all do karaoke nights even campfire stuff just pass the mic around
and it looks caught charging in the room is it the future of stringed instruments though
let me know below what you thought and if you enjoyed this video try one of those next cheers
