YouTube video Jon is just TOO LouD!! · 2020-12 — Plays an Enya X1 Pro carbon-fibre acoustic and shows what it can do.

Why it matters

Enya's X-series uses a carbon-composite body, which is the reason these guitars appear in travel and outdoor use rather than in studio comparisons. Prices rise with body size and electronics, from the compact models up to the larger X3 and X4 versions. The design trade-off is that a composite body sounds consistent in poor conditions but different from a wooden guitar of the same price.

Note

The unbreakable travel favorites.

Before you buy

  • Composite bodies sound different from wood: play one before deciding
  • Electronics and body size drive the price steps
  • Check whether a case or bag is included
