No bending
No left hand muting
No actual learning from the app
Lots of lies in the internet advertising (dubbed with **real** guitar sounds)
And... USD569 !!!

I do apologize for my hard words, but this review can't possibly qualify as « honest » and your test is definitely **NOT** « ultimate ».

[petercohen]

When you ignore the problems with their advertising and price point it makes your review look suspicious. And please don't say it's a well-priced midi instrument because it's not being marketed as that.

[PhoenixRising-nmhe]

Having played the guitar for 60 years, I can tell you that arthritis makes the fingers unable to form the correct shapes anymore. Making it easier to press the 'strings' doesn't help if you can't put the fingers in the right position in the first place.

[NuncNuncNuncNunc]

Honest? Let's see...
1:50 "This is marketed to people who have arthritis" - large photo on main page shows young guy seeming to have no difficulty holding pick or barring neck. All of the models depicted on main page are young seemingly without any dexterity issues. If DAW is needed then there is another issue for those with arthritis. The company makes no mention of arthritis. Did @JamieDupuisMusician even ask anyone with arthritis to try the instrument?
2:40 "This could potentially bring someone success [making MIDI music]" - did you ask anyone in that category?
3:40 How easy is it for someone with arthritis to (dis)assemble the instrument?
5:10 Are you actually getting any vibrato?
8:40 Again, another mention of people with pain in their hands, but not actually asking anyone in that category to try the instrument

Missing:
can the tuning be changed
does string tension change over time, can it be adjusted
how are broken strings replaced
how does it compare to other similar instruments (or are you not allowed to say)
how does it compare to a nylon string/steel string guitar at similar price
company bills it as a learning guitar, which you don't. Why?
as someone with experience, do you think it is a good instrument to learn guitar
is their software any good
what other software did you need in order to get the sound in the video and price (hint at least another ~$100)
latency
were you paid to make this review

They are marketing it as a way to learn the required skills before getting a real guitar, not as an overly expensive midi controlller with a redundant 50w speaker in it and an app with some unrelated games on it. The reason they got slated was because guitar reviewers feel that the product does not meet the required brief to be fit for the purpose that it's being marketed and sold for. In their marketing, they are even implying that it's better than a guitar. This would be unfair to prospective customers (who want to learn how to play the guitar), which is why they are facing such flack from guitar reviewers. That and the alleged intimidating emails that threaten these reviewers not to criticise the product as part of their 'honest review'.

[mikescarborough]

They actually send out cease and desist letters to YouTubers who give this product negative reviews. That's beyond a red flag to me. No thanks!

[nekot]

This guitar is not a guitar, it is a way to check who will say whatever for money.

[kenabi]

they're not confused. the company claims one thing, the reality is wildly different. they're getting dragged for it, and the, quite frankly, sub standard implementation, both hardware and software.

even as a midi controller this product is.. sub par.

and the company response to people being highly unimpressed with it for the price is.. less than stellar.

[paulysguitarjournal]

This is the only positive review I have seen so far. Everyone is calling it trash. Did they send you the email? 😅

[azzan]

The thing i am most wondering is can it do alternate tunings? If not, it wasnt built to be a guitar or even guitar like. I learned about alternative tunings early on and they are a mainstay for guitarist.

[BracchiAlessandroFineArt]

if this was at 80 $ and didn't had misleading ads it wolud be a nice toy.

[ItsOmarBro]

Lol this should have just been a midi controler/ launcher. For guitarist who can't be don't want to learn piano this is a mad tool for recoding midi on a daw.

[samiam]

It's a overpriced toy, being marketed as a 'guitar' it is a bad joke.

[Liofa]

There's something strange about this review compared with other "honest" opinions on youtube. I'll let you all watch the others to make up your own mind.

[mustywalrus]

Crap. Over priced crap. Looks like guitar hero, just missing the buttons.

[veri]

4:55 Does vibrato actually work as being shown? I would think not. Doesn't seem to be mentioned elsewhere unless I missed it

[robertallen]

I have arthritis and neuropathy in hands and fingers. I grieve for the time used to spend playing guitar. I just want to know if it would be worth buying.

[chrism]

I love what you managed to do with it but they really did mislead people by trying to market it as a learning tool... in that description it is an expensive bag of dog turd.

[adhaskym.a]

This is the worst guitar product ever. The company controlled what influencers have to say. Rubbish company. Rubbish product.

[waltribeiro]

So helpful. Do you prefer the strings glued onto the neck? Or do you prefer button frets - like the Yamaha EZ AG ?
