So, after around 20 hours of onboard, battery-usage time spread over several sessions over about 3 weeks, the battery indicator light on my new Enya X4 Pro AcousticPlus guitar finally turned RED. Time to recharge.
What do I now know about my Enya X4 Pro AcousticPlus? When playing acoustically only with the guitar's onboard effects engaged, the full-volumed usage of the effects falls off after several hours the time of which I'll have to reassess as I wasn't paying attention. The usage of the effects when plugged-in continued up to the battery-indicator light turning RED, and even beyond that point. Summary: It takes more battery power to run the effects actuator circuit and its physical movement transducer to produce acoustic-only effects. Thus, when the volume of the acoustic effects lessens, there's still plenty of battery power for plugged-in usage. In conclusion, for a plugged-in gig, with a pre-gig, onboard, full-battery charge, there is more than enough battery power for the guitar's preamp and effects for any gig for which you'd use the Enya X4 Pro AcousticPlus.

I just tried mine amplified today. Plugged it into my Yamaha THR30ii.
Also into one of my larger amps. As mentioned in a previous post need to drop the volume a bit on the guitar but overall very pleased with the plugged in tone. Sent from my motorola edge (2021) using Acoustic Guitar Forum mobile app |

Thanks the for review! I've been eyeing this guitar for a while now and figured there would be some input on it here
Just wanted to clarify but did you purchase it for $799.99 during a sale/price reduction? Or was that $799.99 via a credit or promotion that Amazon had? It wasn't clear to me because normally even as a Prime member, I've never really seen any additional discounts on otherwise "normal" priced items. Currently the guitar is $899.99 but if it ever actually drops to $799.99 I may pull the trigger. As it is, I need to offload some guitars. The next one I may sell is my Bourgeois OM Adirondack, but that's only if I can get the Enya on sale AND if I actually like it |

Love my Nova Go
I pulled the trigger on a Nova Go last week since it was down to $159 again!
I'm very impressed with the guitar. It actually reminds me a great deal of one of the Macpherson Touring guitars, but cheaper. The saddle on mine is flush with the slot and doesn't appear to have a weird angle. It looks like Tusq or maybe even Bone. I don't think the saddle radius matches the neck radius perfectly tho as the intonation is a bit wonky on the 6th string. The intonation actually arguably better in the middle strings than my Emerald X7, but I'm just judging off the mediocre strings. What is the heaviest string gauge anyone's tried on one of these? I generally use a set 16-56 and a bit worried this little plastic joy might buckle lol. I'm also a tad concerned that the nut is not removable and is part of the mold. Still I'll be playing this thing in bed and walking/hiking trips. |

After over two months of ownership, I'm still loving my Enya X4 Pro AcousticPlus carbon fiber/composite acoustic-electric guitar, and I'm still amazed it only cost me $799.99. Are any other Enya X4 Pro owners out there still in love with their Enya?

SpruceTop,
How is the neck width/string spacing on your Enya Pro? Could you measure it in mm? I am tempted but I am used to 1 3/4 necks, i.e. around 44.5/45mm at the nut, with a string spacing of around 38mm. |

Using digital calipers: Nut Width = 1.688 (1 11/16) Centers E to E = 35.5 mm The neck profile feels similar to my RainSong BI-DR1000N2 but just a smidgen narrower at the nut. ----- I could see going outward on each side another .75mm (.030") max or .63 mm (.025") to be safe as far as not causing the two E strings to roll off the edges of the fretboard. This would actually suit me better as far as ease of thumb-fretting.

Thanks!! Looks like Enya is having a 20% off sitewide sale on pretty much everything. I placed an order for the X4 a couple days ago and got it down to $719.99!!! If you have a Chase card with the quarterly bonus, you can also get another 5% back paying with Paypal. Effectively, I'm paying $683.99 for the guitar after all is said and done. It still hasn't shipped so *crossing fingers* that it will. It was just too good a deal to pass up. I used to have a CA GXi guitar but sold it and kind of miss it. It did feel a bit too bassy and midrangey for me and it *sounds* like that may be what I will get with the X4 (although changing strings helps) but I think it'll be nice having a guitar especially with those interesting onboard effects. |

EDIT: something I just realized though is the tax factor. Going through Enya directly, I seem to have avoided being charged sales tax hahaha. Amazon you'll definitely get that tacked on. Just food for thought... Last edited by jplee3; 10-11-2022 at 04:05 PM. |

I just noticed there is an enya11 discount on their site that gives you free shipping and the matching price to Amazon at 20% off.
I don't know how their return policy compares though Edit: noticed it was already mentioned above. Sent from my motorola edge (2021) using Acoustic Guitar Forum mobile app Last edited by Aspiring; 10-11-2022 at 10:19 PM. |
