About Smart Guitars

Smart guitars combine traditional guitar design with built-in digital effects, Bluetooth app control and silent practice features. Onboard reverb, delay and chorus, loopers and drum machines let you shape your sound directly from the instrument, with no pedals or amplifier required. Most models include a headphone output and a rechargeable battery, making them ideal for practice, songwriting and travel.

The range covers smart acoustic, electric and nylon-string models from Enya and Donner. Enya's SP1-equipped acoustics, such as the X1 Pro series, offer onboard effects with app control, while the Nova Go and Nova Go Sonic bring the same smarts to compact carbon-fibre bodies. The flagship NEXG series adds a built-in speaker and full performance features, and Donner's HUSH PRO models pair a near-silent travel design with modular preamp effects and cabinet simulation.
