Deal Details
EART seems to be blowing out sunburst and surf green thinline-tele-style electric guitars. Specifically, you do not get to choose the color: they will send randomly either sunburst or surf green.
The retail price for these is $449, but they routinely are priced around $240. As such, the current sale price of $152.15 (with free shipping) seems slick for a guitar with these specs. I attached a screenshot of my final price. It shows the use of the code JACKDAVID[ for an additional $5 off ($157.15 - $5.00). I didn't type that code in. The site added that code automatically. The white color version was briefly on sale for $189 at the Eart site a few days ago, but is now $269. Amazon's price for white is $243. Update: original code expired. Try code: CWOFF50 -- it is working as of this update (7aug2026, 8:01PM PDT; sold out again by 8:52PM PDT)
Specs:
EART--Chinese made guitars--has a pretty good reputation for making a quality product. Here are three YouTube reviews of the E-TT2 (Landon Bailey [youtu.be]) (60 Cycle Hum) [youtu.be] (Guitar MAX [youtube.com]). Of these, the most negative thing I saw was Landon Bailey's arrived with a hairline crack in the neck pocket (which to me is personally a huge negative. That said, I have owned an Ibanez guitar with such a hairline crack and it did not affect the guitar playability, The aesthetic imperfection was irritating to me though). Most reviews are quite positive on these guitars. Phil McKnight did a deep dive video [youtube.com] about a non-thinline EART tele-style guitar. It was quite positive. My impression is that these guitars are not perfect, but high quality for the price.
It comes with no gig bag---just a box with a guitar in it. Eart has a U.S. warehouse and their site spells out their refund policy [eartguitar.com] (within 30 days of receiving the guitar, full refund and they pay shipping if the guitar is defective, damaged, or incorrect)
I do not own this guitar yet. I did buy one with this sale.

Amazon has them for $449 get 2 for the price of 1 (add 2 items to the cart).
I own a GW2, and I think it falls more into the quality you would expect from a current mid-tier Cort made guitar--which is to say that it has no obvious defects and has good fretwork.

To gert rid of inventory clearly. I don't think you can complain. I think you are hard set to find a guitar with steel frets and bone nut for that price anywhere else.
Shipping:
The guitar ships in a fairly small box, as far a guitar shipping boxes go. The guitar itself was protected in a styrofoam shell. Ten to twenty percent of guitars I receive via shipping arrive damaged--often the inexpensive ones are not-as-well packed, so I am pleased (and probably a bit lucky) that this one arrived in 'new' condition.
Condition:
The guitar weighed in at 6.58lbs. I received a sunburst model. I tuned it and it played well. I have not given it a thorough inspection yet (I didn't measure the action, for example). First impression is positive--no finish flaws or hairline cracks on the body (or at neck pocket); no fret sprout; there is one spot on the underside of the neck that feels like a speck of finish got on it; I will look at it with a magnifying glass and may get some very fine grit sandpaper to remove it (assuming it doesn't come off using my fingernail)... I felt the spot, but have not got a good look at it; I didn't notice the spot while playing it--only when moving my palm against the underside of the neck to check for imperfections. The tuning keys felt smooth and nice, and the knobs did too. Pickup selector switch was adequate, but not awesome. The intonation is fine but I will slightly adjust the high B and E strings after playing it for a couple of days (those two notes were a tiny bit sharp on the 12th fret). The pickups seemed fine, but I need to play with them more.
Other:
The guitar came with a 20-page instruction manual that includes CAD diagrams and partial schematics, and describes how why and how to adjust the truss rod and saddles--relating to action. It does not discuss intonation, though it does show diagrams of how to move the saddles forward and back. The manual covers all Eart models, so each guitar type gets about 3-4 pages. Besides the manual, the guitar came with three guitar picks, a truss rod adjustment tool, a small allen wrench for saddle height adjustments, and a small allen wrench to loosen and tighten the volume&tone knobs.
I am very happy with the purchase.
In any event, the fretwork feels very good. The finish has no defects I can find so far. The neck is satin smooth. Mine needed a bit of neck relief, which needed about 1/4-1/3 turn of the truss rod to add. The lower pickup needs a bit of tweaking to make it sit even. But the pickups sound good, and the acoustic qualities of the guitar are readily audible. No complaints.
