Eart
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I went with EART, and was quite surprised by the quality. It doesn’t feel as polished as my Japanese Ibanez, but it’s totally playable. I was expecting to play it for a few months and upgrade, but I think I’ll keep it as a travel/beater/...
- I'm happy with my eart but the price seems high
- I got one of the EART tele style ones. They go on sale on Amazon sometimes. 275 CAD I just saw it for 200 CAD. Would highly recommend
- Also Eart has a very attractive 7 string headless for $699
- The wood finish slaps on eart :(
Cons
- Eart looked fine from a design standpoint, but the QC seems about on par with typical Aliexpress guitars (eg, extremely hit or miss).
- One of my favorite guitars I've used. Fretwork is great, neck feels great, pickups should definitely be swapped out eventually lol.
- I've got this, pickups was too muddy imo, swapped them with more bright ones and got a perfect tele tone
- hav heard mixed reviews on th EART.
- Eart seems to offer guitars with the cheapest quality. Frets aren’t even, tuners are stiff or even stuck, pickups are muddy, and they play like very affordable guitars.

I have one and love it, best fretwork I've seen in an affordable guitar (even when compared to great medium level instruments to be honest, it was that great on mine), I bought it a little skeptical about the quality and as a cheap taste of what a Strandberg could be but ended up just perfectly satisfied with the Eart, so I just kept it. Definitely worth it for the price.
I got an EART recently i play a lot. easy to take with me too
Took this from being a good guitar to a great guitar.
