Enya Inspire 39" Smart Electric Guitar - Carbon Fiber Body with Built-in 15W Speaker, 20 Tones & App Control, 4 Presets, Bluetooth, Gig Bag Included

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 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.

An amazing guitar and well worth the price. It sounds amazing and plays amazing. If you are learning or just want an awesome on the go, ready to go guitar this is a fantastic choice. Love the design and app that comes with it for your phones. Truly worth the money.

This Smart Guitar is probably the Best started guitar you can buy for a new student young and old. The built in amplifier is a game changer and something all of the big name guitar makers should have done for us guitarists many years ago. I'm sure Fender, Gibson, etc. will be copying the design of this guitar to produce their own Smart Guitars in the near future... I am 65 years young and have been rocking out with vintage only Fenders and find most modern guitars severely lacking in quality and playability. The Zero fret is a great addition and the solid one-piece carbon fiber body/neck construction is done very well. My ONLY cons: I don't like the feel of the carbon fiber on the back of the neck. I also found the frets to be a bit to large for my liking but not too big to be unplayable. I also was hoping the contour of the neck would have been contoured on the opposite side of the neck in the first position. The wattage is sufficient but the sound quality nice at lower volumes but becomes distorted at higher volumes. I believe this can easily be overcome by increasing the amps wattage output to 20 watts and incorporating a base response speaker into the system. All in all this is a great guitar for the price. I think these guitars make great starter guitars and great travel guitars. If they priced this guitar under $500 it would probably fly off the racks at every guitar store!

I was a little skeptical but hopeful this was really all the influencers claimed this guitar to be. I'm not disappointed. I have a few professional (pricey) guitars, but the last few years I've really been into quality affordable gear. Some of it is good, some not so good. This is really good. The material and workmanship of the Enya is top notch. I like this carbon fiber composite material of which it is built, silky smooth, just the right weight and the tone... as good as any guitar I've played. Even without the builtin amp or plugged in, the guitar resonates quite well. You can hear and feel what you're playing quite well. I am a fan of the zero fret design, which in my experience works better at keeping the guitar in tune than most traditional plastic or bone nuts (unless the nut has been finely honed and crafted by a luthier or good guitar tech). The tuners are quality tuners. The truss rod adjustment, so much easier to adjust at the body than the neck and super easy with the tools provided. And this innovative tremolo/vibrato/whammy bar spring tension adjustment is brilliant! If you need to go lighter or heavier with your string gauge, this spring adjustment makes it so convenient to dial in the trem again. The builtin amp is solid with plenty of thump. The cleans all the way to the high gains are good. If you want some feedback, it'll sing, beyond fun since the speaker is in the body, but very controllable. The app is a little finicky (I've only tried iOS version) but it'll let you try new sounds, add effects and assign up to four patches on the guitar. This is a great practice and learning tool as well. But even without all the fancy "smart" builtin features, this is guitar worth the price for learning, practice, recording or live performance. It seems really durable and unaffected by humidity and temperature and seems to be something that'll give years of service. Finally I sent a question about the guitar and customer service was prompt and friendly. It looks like Enya will be a well recognized name in the guitar and music world.

I’ve been playing guitar for a while, and I can honestly say this electric guitar has made my life a lot easier—and way more fun. The biggest reason? I don’t need to bring a big amplifier anymore. That alone makes this guitar a win for me. The built-in 15W wireless speaker sounds much better than I expected. It’s clear, loud enough for practice or small hangouts, and super convenient. I can just grab the guitar, turn it on, and start playing—no cables, no amp, no setup. That kind of simplicity makes me want to play more often. I really enjoy the onboard presets and 20 different tones. Switching sounds is quick and easy, and I don’t have to mess with pedals or extra gear. Whether I’m practicing clean tones or trying something more experimental, everything I need is right there. The carbon fiber body feels solid and lightweight, and it’s comfortable to play for long sessions. It also feels durable, which gives me peace of mind when taking it out of the house. Enya did a great job including useful extras too—the gig bag, charging cable, and adjusting wrench mean you’re ready to go straight out of the box. Overall, this guitar is perfect if you want something portable, modern, and easy to use. Not having to carry a big amp is a total game-changer, and the sound quality and features make it totally worth it. I’m really happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a smart, grab-and-go electric guitar. 🎸

This guitar had the best setup out of the box I've played on any guitar under $1000. Not joking! The action was low, the intonation was nearly perfect, the frets were polished out of the box, the truss rod didn't need adjusting, and the frets have those cute little rounded ends. Since it's composite, the neck doesn't move at all with temperature changes. It stays in tune better than any wooden guitar. I can pick it up after a week and it's still in tune. It's great because you don't have to connect it to anything or have anything with you. You can leave it anywhere, pick it up and play it anywhere, and if it's late you can plug headphones right in and it sounds great. It's not a heavy guitar, and the body is softly contoured and comfortable to play. The gig bag it comes with is nice too, with plenty of padding and a pocket for the truss adjuster, picks, and cables. It's nice to buy something that doesn't make you buy anything else to use it. My main criticism: WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE A TUNER? It's got all this computerized amp modeling, it would be easy to add a tuner. But they didn't, and since the composite neck is so rigid, clip-on headstock tuners often miss the note and I have to plug it in to tune it. I don't have to do this often, but it's still an annoyance. I would also add coil split to the rear pickup. Finally, the last "purple" preset sucks: it sounds too much like the previous high-gain preset, just with extra mud. I would replace it with something ambient and shoegazy with lots of reverb. Of course you can do this with the app, but it deserves better out of the box. Finally, the fact that you can plug a cord in and use it as a completely normal passive guitar is reassuring. If all the fancy electronics break 15 years from now, I still have a good-playing electric guitar.

I’ve been using the Enya Electric Guitar Inspire 39” Smart Electric Carbon Fiber Guitar for almost two weeks now, and I’m honestly very impressed. I live in Hawaii, and the humid climate here can be tough on instruments, but this guitar performs amazingly well. The carbon fiber body feels extremely solid yet lightweight, and it’s not affected by humidity or temperature changes at all. It’s very comfortable to hold for long practice sessions and looks modern and high-end. The 15W built-in wireless speaker is surprisingly loud and clear. I love that I can just pick it up and play without connecting to an amp—perfect for practicing at home or casual playing. The 20 distinct tones and onboard presets are fun and versatile, covering clean, rock, blues, and more. Switching tones is easy and smooth. Sound quality is clear with good sustain, and the neck feels smooth, making it friendly for both beginners and experienced players. Battery life has been solid so far, and charging is convenient with the included cable. The package is very complete: charging cable, adjusting wrench, and gig bag are all included, which makes it great value for the price.
