Sorry, no pix. Had one of those Enya Nova Go plastic guitars in the shop yesterday for a setup. What an odd little semi-musical chunk of plastic. Supposedly made from a carbon fiber/ resin mix - it's an ugly black thing smaller than a Les Paul. It weighs a mere pound or two, and that's IN the gigbag. I put a light inside the soundport, and I could see stiffening ribs inside, looking for all the world like an injection molded toy or kitchen storage device. I spotted a thin glue seam around the top, and the literature claims the fingerboard is Richlite, which also claims the frets are stainless. That part may be true, and the fret ends were very nice looking with hemispherical ends. They weren't polished to a high shine, but that took 5 minutes. The bronze strings sounded dull, but a fresh set in a lighter gauge improved the tone considerably. It's a 23.5" scale length, so it's easy to play. Zero nut, too - no setting the action at the nut. Truss rod works, love the tiny rubber plug serving as the truss rod cover. Tuning machines were smooth, strap buttons were tight. The client wanted a camping guitar that he could take out in hot weather or cold, dry or wet. A big $199 from Amazon, straight to his door. Included a polishing cloth (for a guitar textured like 120 grit sandpaper!), a truss rod wrench, a strap, and a booklet.
I won't be buying one, but it was interesting to fool with for an hour. The neck is extremely chunky with square shoulders, but it feels very comfy in the hand. I really liked the neck profile.
