X4 PRO Carbon Fiber Acoustic Electric Guitar, 41-Inch Full Size Cutaway Design, AcousticPlus Pickup System with Built-in Effects & Tuner, Includes Deluxe Hard Case, Leather Strap, Cable

I’ve been spending some serious time with the Enya X4 Pro lately, and honestly, it’s a weirdly impressive piece of gear. If you’re used to traditional wooden acoustics, it takes a second to wrap your head around, but it definitely solves a lot of common headaches. The biggest reason I looked into this was the carbon fiber build. I’m tired of babysitting humidifiers and worrying about cracks every time the weather shifts. This thing feels like a tank. You can leave it out on a stand in a dry room or take it outside, and the tuning barely budges. It’s a total "grab-and-go" guitar. That AcousticPlus Tech The built-in effects are the coolest part, even if they seem like a gimmick at first. There’s an actuator inside the body that vibrates the wood (well, the carbon) to create reverb and delay without being plugged into anything. It makes practicing on the couch way more fun and addictive How It Actually Sounds Is it going to sound like a vintage Martin? No. It’s a bit more crisp and bright. However, the bass is surprisingly punchy because of the bigger body size. It doesn't have a plasticky sound I was afraid of. The neck is super smooth. It’s got a slim, electric-like feel that makes it easy to play for a couple of hours without your hand cramping up. It’s very "space-age." If you love a guitar that looks high tech like a racing car, the matte black finish and offset soundhole this instrument has that attractiveness It comes with a hard shell case, It’s great for protection. I would take this anywhere and not worry about damaging my beautiful guitar Bottom Line If you want a guitar that you don’t have to fuss about, this is it. It’s perfect for traveling, camping, or just having a reliable backup that always stays in tune. It’s a modern tool that just works.

I'll admit I was skeptical that a carbon fiber acoustic without a single piece of wood in the body would end up sounding like a sterile, plastic-like toy. Well, I wrong. The Enya X4 Pro isn't a gimmick; it's a revelation. This guitar is a complete game-changer and has quickly become my go-to instrument for everything from campfire sessions (projects like a dreadnaught in a GA body) to serious practice. The sound has a Tone so rich, you won't miss the Wood (tone wood joke). From the first strum, the X4 Pro delivers a full, resonant, and balanced sound that rivals instruments two to three times its price. The 95% purity carbon fiber top produces an incredibly rich and vibrant tone that is anything but synthetic. The bass is deep and articulate, the mids are warm and full, and the highs sparkle with a brilliant clarity. Playing an open chord feels like a massive, resonating wave of sound is being unleashed. Enya's "elevated neck" design and offset soundhole likely contribute to this impressive projection and tonal quality. In short, it sounds amazing, and you'll find yourself forgetting it's not wood or simply not caring. The Effects: Built-In Magic for Amp-Free Playing with the Acoustic Plus pickup system, the X4 Pro's "secret weapon" which truly sets it apart. Having high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects built directly into the guitar is an absolute luxury. The real genius, though, is that the effects work acoustically without plugging into an amp. This feature alone has completely changed how and where I practice. Adding a touch of reverb or a hint of chorus in a quiet room makes the experience more immersive and inspiring. The integrated microphone also picks up percussive elements for fingerstyle players, adding another layer to the already fantastic sound. The one caveat is the onboard speaker isn't very loud, so if you plan on gigging larger venues than a coffee house, plan on plugging into an amp for the effects to reach the crowd. Beyond the sound, the benefits of carbon fiber are undeniable. I no longer have to worry about temperature and humidity changes warping my guitar, which makes living in Michigan more bearable. The neck is comfortable, the action is perfect out of the box, and it simply stays in tune in fluctuating temps better than any wood guitar I've owned. The Enya X4 Pro is more than a guitar; it's an innovation. It delivers a superior acoustic experience with mind-blowing built-in effects, all wrapped in a durable, consistent, and beautiful package. If you're looking for a guitar that pushes the boundaries of what's possible while being portable enough to throw in the car for the weekend getaway and stay well under $800, this is the best option on the market. An absolute steal for the money.

So far I’ve only had it for a couple of days now but it’s absolutely worth the purchase. A little side note for anyone who does buy this: #1 You must charge the on board effects before you can use the tuner. #2 You cannot use the effects or tuner while charging. With the strings that came with, it was very easy to tune and it has stayed tuned. The tone is beautiful! Even without effects it sounds like it has reverb. Also not to mention the case is very sturdy! You also get a good strap and quarter inch cable.

The profuct came in early with no damage to it. Out of the box the hard case is beautiful and sturdy. The guitar top is beautiful but the sides and back look and feel a bit plasticky. But at this price range its to be expected as carbon fiber is expensive. Had it for 2 days. Still experimenting with the effects controls. Works as advertised. Unplugged its not as loud or as nice sounding as a wood accoustic in the same price range. What sets it apart are the onboard effects. But plugged to an amp is a different story. The sound is more brilliant. I only give it a 4 star because the action on the string is way too high and needs alot of adjustment on the nut and saddle.

Product was great until the battery died and I realized the electronics were faulty. USB C charging port did not work so I cannot recharge the battery.

Check your top IMMEDIATELY upon getting your guitar BEFORE you tune it up... there should absolutely be no waves or dents ESPECIALLY NEAR THE BRIDGE. Tune it up and check for waves... there shouldn't be ANY. To check it: hold the guitar at eye level in such a way that you can see the actual reflection of something (a sunlit window works well) you have to look across the top of the guitar. If it's not flat send it back... dents dings and distortions in CF are a BAAAAD sign there's a tremendous amount of stress in that particular area... this isn't wood and that load will not balance over time. It's also a sign of internal reinforcements not being properly bonded to the top... I'm writing this because I'm furious about the $864 to my door guitar I recieved yesterday... I absolutely LOVE the guitar, the sound, the neck, everything is PERFECT on the one I recieved... but it's more warped and wrinkled across the top near the bridge than a side street in Cleveland... it's legitimately the worst factory blem I've ever seen escape ANY factory for ANY product let alone a guitar. I work with aircraft composites and am extremely familiar with carbon fiber... First off it's dirt cheap material, but the labor and tooling is quite expensive to do it properly... their advertisement of "cost savings" for the neck and body not being woven CF is absolutely BS. Good news is, the material the neck and body are made from is EXCELLENT. It's still a carbob composite, it's just not hand laid woven CF and or what most people would refer to as "carbon fiber"... it's extremely durable stuff and was used heavily in professional RC cars in the 90s before the newer advanced polymers took over. Never in my life did I expect it to sound and play like it does... and that's why I am so mad right now. They spent all of this time and money for extremely high dollar molds for the neck and body, and then slapped a sheet of woven CF plate on top with another flat sheet of partial reinforcements internally under the bridge... you can literally see the outline of internal reinforcements and where they were and were not properly bonded through the top of my guitar. This is what causes dents in CF. Improperly bonded parts not evenly distributing the load... I am also extremely unhappy with the fact that the CF top wasn't clear coated... I can see every single weave dimple in the right light. This is absolutely unacceptable quality of finish for ANY woven carbon fiber part or component in 2023. I don't work with flat sheet carbon often, but I've never seen sheet with a finish quality this dimpled in 20 years so I don't know what's going on here. I've also never seen this particular weave so it may be some oddball prepreg not made for structural applications... and the top of a guitar is EXTREMELY structural so idk. So yes... as of OCT 31 2023 Enya is sending out guitars that you can actually play out of the box and they sound AWESOME. I've played mine for about 8 hours now exactly as it came... it actually did "settle in" quite a bit and the tone got significantly more consistent and enjoyable on day two... If you're buying a CF guitar don't expect a goofy Martin boat paddle sound... and if you're a tone jockey that will wear special acoustic grade shoes just to make your guitar sound better... these aren't for you. The tone of an instrument comes from YOU... but That being said strings do matter, and I personally would throw a set of Martin Retros on this thing. I hate phosphor-bronze normally but these actually settled in and mellowed out overnight. The mids were pretty obnoxious yesterday, but I was already mad at the guitar for being a manufacturer defect... Either way... this is NOT worth ANYWHERE near $900 even if it was absolutely perfect. Most musicians aren't familiar with current manufacturing technology... but I'll put it this way. There is NO REASON This guitar should cost more than what they sell their small travel guitar for... the materials are dirt cheap and the labor is exactly the same between the two. There is almost zero skilled labor that goes into the manufacturing process used to make these guitars unlike wooden guitars... the other CF guitars are hand made/laid as well and that's where their $3500 price actually makes sense. This guitar is literally molded exactly like any other large hard plastic part, it's the exact same material many high temp automotive components are made of (intake manifolds being the most common.) With the case I feel $400 would be an acceptable price for the full sized model... the price difference between the travel guitar, 3/4 guitar, and this full size pro 4 are just insane considering there's absolutely no difference in the manufacturing process and a very small difference in the materials cost... This isn't a competitor to a Rainsong... and personally I'm kind of bitter about it being marketed as such. This isn't a carbon fiber guitar... it's a molded carbon composite guitar. Basically: if this manufacturer can get their quality control under control and price these things REASONABLY, there is no reason every single guitarist shouldn't have one... I absolutely expect to see more of this molded composite technology in musical instruments and I'm actually now excited about it. Thing this absolutely thunders down low... it's almost got a grand piano type of resonance. Sound is thicc... It's not just loud, but a very "large" sound that I've never heard another guitar make and this is all without any electronics. Haven't played another composite guitar other than an ovation. the battery is an 18650 and it's on the back of the pre amp on the inside... difficult to reach but mine just needed to be popped in. If you press the button and nothing happens... the battery needs to be popped in on one side. They likely shipped this way to keep the battery from draining during storage. ... not a bad a idea to pop it out for long term storage. You'll also have to remove the battery for airplane travel... the FAA don't play around with lithium batteries and they do prosecute if they catch you with one in your luggage So the battery is absolutely replaceable and VERY common... they really should have put an access panel or battery box like every other guitar with a battery. Good news is for gigs you could absolutely keep a spare on hand and awkwardly swap it if you had to... Summary: if you want to keep charging $900 delivered you actually are going to have to build a guitar that LOOKS like a $900 guitar. The feel and sound are there... and the case is actually pretty cool. The electronics are a big meh... but once I actually spent a few hours figuring out what the knobs actually did (they're "labeled" sort of) I was able to finally enjoy the effects... took a lot of time tinkering and playing "nothing else matters" 😆 Haven't plugged it in to anything yet because I've already told myself this thing is going back... but I've got a strong feeling it's going to sound extremely good through my normal recording gear which is why I bought it. Grand finale/final section i promise: I'll likely give them another year to figure it out and buy another in late 2024... I'm not a second chance kind of guy with instruments, but the fact Enya is actually actively working to improve these guitars and has excellent customer service from what I can gather, I can't help myself. I've got a local Enya dealer and I may just go buy one from them... I've got a feeling I personally got a dud (which should NEVER have left the factory). Had I bought this as known defect/blem model... I'd be over the moon right now and this would be a 5 star glowing review... I've bought MANY factory defect guitars over the years, but I also didn't pay full price. That's the issue here... it's an awesome guitar, but not $900 awesome. Yes, I could easily fix the issues with my guitar and make it look like what I expected... but I wasn't looking for a project, I was looking for a guitar.

Out of the box it plays rough, but once you get it setup it plays quite easy.... The effects are very neat and when compared to dreadnought guitar this guitar will definitely keep up and even cut through them at times acoustically without the use of effects. It certainly is not perfect but for the price of the average carbon fiber manufacturing factories world wide this guitar is by far the best bang for the buck and should be considered the best entry level acoustic guitar ever. Tuning is accurate... The neck is straight but not really adjustable (not a deal breaker) but the intonation is very close all the way up the neck. I highly recommend this guitar for beginner, intermediate, and advance players who do not want to ruine their wooden instruments for the use of playing outside... I have yet to test what it sounds like plugged in but I've seen other reviews speaking highly and can't wait to test it... Happy picking everyone!

This is a great guitar with a unique/characteristic and wonderful sound in pure acoustic without any effects - it’s surprising really. It’s not a wood guitar, but it will add wonderful depth and a different sound to your guitarsenal. The effects are not as “wow” as some would have you believe. It’s not a shredder. That said, it makes me write and play in a different way. In other words, it gets me out of my familiar and lazy comfort zone and into trying new things. I think guitars are a personal choice and you just find one that fits. I have a cheaper $200 guitar that I would not trade for a $3000 Martin. It is my own “Trigger.” This Enya guitar may not be a soul mate. It is, however, a very high quality technically excellent instrument; more of a predictable quality tool than something organic with a soul. That is actually a good thing, I suspect every one of these will sound very similar and very good. I recommend it. Wonderful bang for the buck.
