Default Enya Carbon Fiber Guitars -- Anyone Tried One Yet?

I saw a promo for this and it looks like an intriguingly tempting buy-in for a carbon fiber guitar. Has anyone heard anything about/tried one of these?

Hello all, I’m new here. I’ve ordered an Enya X4 Transacoustic. It ships Tuesday. I’ll let y’all know what it’s like when I get it.

I ordered an X4 With the transacoustic as well. Ordered from Amazon, and my current expected delivery is Feb 12th. I sure hope we made a good move ordering these. The X4 looks like a winner to me.

That does seem heavy! Perhaps it's the weight of a really well packed shipment. I saw a reviewer hold the x4 horizontally by 1 hand and it didn't look like he was struggling. He may have a hell of a grip though..
