EART GW2 25.5" Headless Electric Guitar - Roasted Padauk Soild Body/5pc Maple Neck - Alnico-V Pickups, Stainless Frets

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.

After all the (mostly positive) reviews I've watched on Eart guitars, I really wanted to give one a try. I'm also a fan of headless guitars. This one did not disappoint. Quality is excellent. Perfect fret work, no high spots, super polished. The pickups claim to be 57+ Classic PAFs. They sound surprisingly good, if a tiny bit dark and mellow. Neck feels good. The only nit to pick is the bridge tuners. They work and stay in tune well but are a bit fiddly to tune up. I actually cut off a piece of hex wrench and attached a knob so I have a better tool to turn the tuners (better than the mini crank they provide). Adjusting intonation is also tricky because you have to detune and lift up the string to get to the right screws. However, you're presumably not adjusting intonation all that often so not a big deal. I bought this as an Prime Day Lightning Deal. For what I paid, this guitar is easily worth the money and a great bargain. While I definitely have too many guitars (is that possible???), this one is fun and a pleasure to play.

This guitar would be a slam-dunk five-star rating if they'd only included some instructions on how to tune, re-string and set the action. The bridge is not in any way standard. The pictures in the listing are confusing and the video online is definitely not written or presented by a native English speaker. I figured it out inspite of all that. The actual guitar is very well made, the design is very interesting and the playability is great. the neck was reasonably straight. The frets are jumbos and are polished out very well. The pickups sound wonderful and I have not found them to be microphonic. The three-way switch is not noisy and the knobs appear to be metal and well finished.The guitar is well worth the money , but the presentation and documentation need to catch up. I expect these guitars to take off the way the Firefly guitars have and be in high demand.

I've played high end Fenders, Gibsons, and Ibanez guitars. This thing is really well build. Right out of the box it looks stunning. I love that they went with more of a stain finish than gloss. The neck is smooth. It isnt a modern C. It's more flat. I'd say closer to a D shape. A cross between an Music Man and a Wizard III neck. It's very comfortable. It has the belly cut an the arm cut for comfort. I have no clue what the wood is besides the Indian rosewood fretboard and the Poplar top, but its hefty and feels good. You can feel the holes in the poar top as well as the grain of the wood on the back. The 5 piece neck is super nice. The stainless steel frets are probably pre cut, but there is no issue with that. The bridge is a generic bridge you can get from amazon (I got the non term version). The pick ups are good, but not amazing. Worth changing if you have the money for better ones. The volume on mine works fine, but the tone is either all the way on or all the way off. I'm having a blast playing this. I even set aside my player plus strat and my JP150. This guitar is incredible. I know this short review wont sell you on it, you have to try it for yourself. The price is more than reasonable and it plays extremely well. Give it a shot. You wont regret it.

I am completely surprised at the quality of this guitar and the quality craftsmanship of the instrument. The fretwork is flawless and plays like a dream. Smooth and flowing!! I am blown away... Wow!! There is only one drawback and that is the pickups. They work well and sound ok, but definitely will need to be upgraded. Originally adding in some Dragonfire pickups would have been a great addition and made this guitar a steal for the price, but add in your own pickups of choice and you have an amazing headless guitar for much less than the others. Overall, it is a quality instrument at a great price. If you are in the market for a Headless Guitar at a great price, get them while the price is this low. Because, I foresee these guitars gaining popularity and price increases. They are that good!!

Great little guitar! Love the stainless steel frets and electronics! It plays like a much more expensive instrument. I bought one 6 months ago. The first one played okay at first. Then started buzzing on every string after a weeek of heavy use. I returned it - shipping paid by Amazon- and got a replacement. The second one is great! Came set up perfectly and still plays the same after almost 6 months of daily use. With Amazons free returns, you can try it out for a month and decide for yourself.

UPDATE: I don't see it mentioned anywhere else, but regarding the output jack -- When I removed the cavity-cover to look into shielding it, I noticed the jack has 3 terminals on the back... so I plugged in a TRS cable and used the multimeter to check continuity from the terminals to each of tip/ring/sleeve on the other end of the cable. It IS a TRS jack. Mine has the ground wired to the "ring" contact so using a TRS cable doesn't work right, but still... I had to do the amazon replacement on the first one. It had an issue with the bridge being wonky, and the burling of the veneer top was a bit excessive -- to the point that it looked to have some minor chipping around the deeper/wider "pockmarks". It's something I'd be OK with on a used guitar, but not on a new one. These bridges are a neat design, but they do suffer from the issue that they're cast from soft metal instead of being machined from more solid stock. The first one I got seemed to be assembled poorly/incorrectly, with at least one of the grub-screws for saddle-adjustment being crooked and stripping out the hole. ...that's a QA/QC thing, but would be pretty easy to miss. The sort of thing you're only likely to notice when you adjust intonation. Can't hold that one against EART, since they aren't the ones who make these bridges, they just install them. Apart from those two issues, I'm pretty impressed with it. Fretwork is very nicely done -- a little uneven, but they're nicely polished/rounded, no sharp edges, no sprout, no dead-frets, etc. nothing that interferes with the playability. I love that 5-piece neck. Fretboard is smooth. weight is low and balance is perfect. I don't know what sort of pickups are in it, but they sound fantastic. I may replace them eventually, but only if I'm in a tinkering mood... there's not really any other reason I'd want to, they really do sound good. The wiring/soldering in the control-cavity is well-done. ...but I did the amazon replacement thing due to the issues I mentioned earlier. The replacement was better in almost every respect. Not just correcting the things I mentioned, but the grain looks nicer (all over - the top, the back, the neck), the neck feels smoother, the frets are still a tiny bit uneven but they're closer to even than the first one was. If I was really determined to find fault (besides just withing the bridge was more solidly built), I guess the tone-pot is a bit stiff to turn. Not "scratchy", it just doesn't turn smoothly. Strangely, it was like that on the first one too... just the tone pot, not the volume. That may wear-in, or a shot of DeoxIT might fix it. The cover for the control-cavity is almost too perfect a fit, making it difficult to remove. Complaining about anything being "too perfect" feels overly nitpicky though. The cavity is unshielded, but that's an easy fix. ...on the subject of the pots, some folks complained about the knobs on the vol/tone pot... I actually kind of like the way they look, but not the way they feel. Those are the only things I might change right away. If you like headless guitars, this is unquestionable the nicest one I've found for anywhere near this price-point. I might even grow to like it more than my Steinberger.

Manual is not so good as far as tuning and setting bridge height. If this guitar had a bridge like Ibanez, It would be a 5 star buy.
