Only one comes out of the closet at a time. Kinda like this place....

What's the big deal about them? They look like they ripped off their design from the Ovation Breadwinner. The one knob guitar looks like it was cut from plywood. Were they really worth it? Like they're better than a Les Paul for its price range. I think any guitar you play everyday is worth it regardless the price. Whether it's a $100 Squier or a $10,000 Gibson Jazz box - if you can afford that.

Take a few minutes for this. Every single aspect of the guitar was re-thought and optimized for comfort/playability/stability/tone - everything.

That's an older model. I have Progs.
Chambered swamp ash, maple top (the Plini model also has a veneer of Aussie blackwood), 3-ply maple neck with carbon fiber,
ebony board, SS frets, and Suhr SSH+ and SSV pups.
The Plini has no tone control and only a 3 position switch - middle position being one of the split coil from a std. 5-way.

No hyperbole: My playing has improved and been more consistent since getting fully comfortable with it. Wished I stumbled
on them years ago.

Take a few minutes for this .... Leo Fender did the same thing when he designed the Stratocaster. It's probably the most copied style for a solid body guitar body out there, which is a testament to how well Leo designed it. The most comfortable guitar is the Jazzmaster, but I really don't care for its Trem system and the bridge can rattle apart. But as far as comfort and tone is concerned it's the Jazzmaster all the way.

I've seen similar guitars that you own on Amazon -- sub $350 price range. Since you have the original (authentic) model you should buy the EART copy and do a side-by-side comparison video and post it. But it has to be the EART, it has some of the same features -- Ash body etc. Let us know if the EART is as good as the original and worth getting. Either way you probably can return it & get your money back. Remember: EART guitars. It's ear with a "t" or Earth without the "h."

You being an ass Neo?

No need to school me on Leo and the Strat - but you knew that.

If you're not interested in the guitar, why'd you ask the ****ing question?

What do mean not interested? I've seen guitars like them on Amazon I wanted to know more about them esp. the EART version of that guitar. Maybe it is too far-fetch of an idea, but I was hoping you could buy the Eart clone and do a comparison video between them to see how close it is to the original. I found out about that brand when Darrell Braun did a video on the Eart E-335 and gave it a really good review. The (headless) Eart W (1&2) have a compound radius neck 9.5" to 14" Ash body, exotic wood top, stainless steel frets etc etc.

I thought you wuz kidding but sure enough.

I guess you can say you've made it as a guitar brand if the cheap overseas guys start copying you.

"Indian rosewood fingerboard, mixed arc (9.5-14), 24 grades of high-oxygen quality silk, crown, polished round, not hurting hands."

A for effort!

Now I can work out while I play my knock-off POS MIC Les Paul. lol The slightest neck bend and that things gonna snap in two. What a hunk of junk. That Squier Strat plays real nice and that Schecter Diamond has it's pro's and con's, but that was bought the night of my first gig with Koncrete Pillow for real cheap about a decade ago. I think just over $200. My Washburn nylon in the back of that tree is my oldest. I bought her in 1999 and she's real buttery.

My Carvin and Cordoba stay in their cases and my PRS stays by my recording rig.

I haven't played much lately, but I have a small gig next weekend so I gotta hone some chops this week. I set this all up recently in my garage and I'll probably plug in there for a bit and bother the neighbors.

Nice! Love the mini Dean!

Plankton 06-07-2021 08:46 AM

Thanks mang. I play that Dean Uke the most out of all my guits. Just about every morning (if I remember lol), I'll play a bit for my plant before leaving for work.

As for that dobro, it's another MIC POS that was gifted to me a while back. It played ok when I first got it but it deteriorated quickly and is just about non-playable now from warped wood and cheap build quality. It's literally falling apart, but here's how it sounded the first week I got it. It's got a pre-amp in it so it was easy to plug in and go at it:

Amazing how a Dobro immediately brings out that southern Allman Bros type rhythm vibe!

Very cool.
