Integrated sound system and smart features

The built-in 15-watt speaker allows you to play without an external amplifier. This is useful for practice, developing ideas and spontaneous jam sessions. The ENYA ES1 Pro smart system provides onboard presets and digital sound options, allowing quick changes between different sounds without external effects.

Bluetooth connectivity can be used with backing tracks during practice. A 3.5 mm headphone output enables quiet practice, while the USB-C port supports charging and OTG recording of ideas to mobile devices.

Design and playability

The Dragon Flame design gives the guitar a distinctive appearance. The pickup configuration, with a single-coil at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge, provides a broad range of tones. The 24 frets extend the range for solos and melodies, while the 2-point tremolo enables vibrato effects and expressive playing.

The carbon-fiber composite construction is designed to withstand changing temperatures and humidity, contributing to stability during everyday use and transport.
