Pros
- I love my Eart GW2. I have the hard tail version, but it’s one of my best playing guitars.
- It’s crazy that some of the cheaper Chinese headless like Eart GW2 that cost half as much or less have them but HILS don’t
- My gw2 came with D'Addario strings. Does yours still smell strongly of the box? I've had mine for a few weeks and the smell is finally almost gone.
- still playing eart gw2 its 10/10 on feel, maybe the the pickups arent premium quality? but who cares you can mod it whenever and it never goes out of tune
- I recently bought the gw2. It's built really well and all I had to do was slightly heighten the low E string due to some buzz. It has the double humbuckers and I think they are perfectly fine. I bought it to comfortably play in my lazy b...
Cons
- Has anyone been able to find a gig bag that properly fits the gw2? I bought the one recommended on Amazon and it is too tight.
- The nut was cut wrong. Way too wide. This causes plinking if you bend.
- I have an eart-gw2. Upgraded the pickups which are muddy. ... I know my fret number 13 or 15 is bad on the high E. But I never got a setup. Because it was almost perfect upon delivery. It was the pickups that I did not like. Very compact...

I recently bought the gw2. It's built really well and all I had to do was slightly heighten the low E string due to some buzz. It has the double humbuckers and I think they are perfectly fine. I bought it to comfortably play in my lazy boy and it's awesome for it.

I bought the GW2 to mod and experiment on b/c it was so cheap and i turns out I like it just about as well as any of my other guitars. It's extraordinarily resonant so playing unplugged works almost as well as my Vela semi-hollow. The fretboard feels great and the bridge works just fine. It holds a tune well and doesn't get in the way imo

I have an Eart GW2 and I just got a Hils HN4. I know this is subjective but overall the Eart seems superior in every aspect. The frets were perfect from the factory, the neck seems more comfortable, the action is as low as I want it.
