Just an update on the NEXG 2N

[tapper mike]

As some of you may remember earlier this year I bought one.


It was good fair sounding but terrible playing. The first issues were that there are barely any saddle slots for the strings to sit on and it isn't intonated. Fortunately one didn't hear the out of tune nature till one got up on the dusty end of the neck.

I never adjusted to the neck. It's too fat and narrow for nylon strings. And here's the kicker it's nothing but problems changing the strings.

So I had it sitting on the guitar stand giving it a rest. Between the heat and humidiy the D string broke. It was tuned to standard tuning but I guess the heat and humidiy caused issue. Then a day later it was the low E string followed by the A. I'd run out of strings so on a trip to a guitar store I picked up a fresh set and... To my surprised the high e string was lodged in a way that made it un removeable (Watch the vid where Walter talks about restringing.

I had to tie the broken e string to another e string in order to have a whole one that I could tune. Sometimes the double knots were to big and wouldn't fit down into the whole and sometimes they'd slip out of the slot on the way back up. I spent six freaking hours trying to change strings on the damn thing. Broke more along the way but I only bought one set of nylon strings as I figured I'd only need one.

Yes the included "sounds" were fun and useful. I'm sure maybe in time I'd adapt to the neck for adequate performance. But after all the rage from what should have been a simple string change I'm done with nylon string guitars for at least a year. and the Enya product line forever.
