Enya Inspire Shinichi Kobayashi Signature Electric Smart Guitar in Loong Flame

The Enya Inspire Shinichi Kobayashi Signature Electric Smart Guitar in Loong Flame takes the Super ST concept into the future, blending a cutting-edge carbon fibre composite build with a powerful onboard smart system. With 24 frets, an HSS pickup layout and a fully integrated 15 watt Bluetooth speaker and FX engine, it is equally at home on the sofa, in the studio or on stage.

Built from a single piece of die-cast carbon fibre composite, Inspire is light, rigid and incredibly stable, with an ergonomic asymmetrical neck that feels fast and effortless right across the 24 fret range. The ENYA ES1 Pro system unlocks four banks of presets, onboard effects and flexible routing, so you can send your sound to the internal speaker, an amp, your interface or a PA, all from one sleek, modern instrument.

Whether you are a travelling guitarist who needs a compact all-in-one rig, a creator who wants instant recording over USB-C, or a player who simply loves futuristic design, the Inspire Loong Flame gives you a huge palette of tones and tech without sacrificing the feel of a serious Super ST.

Modern Super ST Performance

With a 25.5 inch scale, 24 medium high-crown frets and an HSS pickup set controlled by a 5 way blade switch, Inspire delivers the versatility you expect from a modern Super ST. From glassy neck single coil tones to tight, focused bridge humbucker sounds, it covers clean, crunch and high gain with ease, while the extended fret range opens up advanced lead work and modern techniques.

One Piece Carbon Fibre Composite Construction

The whole body, neck, fretboard and nut are formed from a single piece of acoustic carbon fibre composite using integrated die-casting. This design gives exceptional strength and stability, with impressive resonance and a consistent feel in any climate. The exquisite matte finish and Loong Flame styling complete a futuristic aesthetic that stands out on any stage.

Smart System with Onboard FX and Speaker

At the heart of Inspire is the ENYA ES1 Pro system, built around a proprietary DSP chip with four banks of four presets ready to go. A vibration-isolated 15 watt onboard speaker with Bluetooth 5.0 lets you play along with tracks, practise or perform without extra gear, while the high signal to noise ratio keeps your sound clear and detailed.

Flexible Multi Output Connectivity

The multi output panel gives you a standard 6.35 mm instrument out, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB-C for OTG recording and charging. You can route your sound to the internal speaker, a traditional amp, an audio interface or a PA, tailoring the setup to each situation. Fast charging and the built-in rechargeable battery keep you powered for longer sessions with minimal downtime.

• Integrated 15 Watt Smart Speaker System - The built-in 15 watt, vibration-isolated speaker with Bluetooth 5.0 lets you play anywhere without an external amp. Stream backing tracks from your device and hear your guitar and music together, perfect for practice, busking or quick jams.
• ENYA ES1 Pro DSP with 4 x 4 Presets - The onboard ES1 Pro system offers four banks of four presets, giving you instant access to a range of tones and effects. You can switch sounds quickly using the power button controls, keeping your focus on playing rather than menu diving.
• One Piece Carbon Fibre Composite Construction - A fully integrated die-cast carbon fibre composite body, neck, fretboard and nut provide outstanding stability and a consistent feel. The lightweight 3.3 kg design reduces fatigue, while the matte finish and Loong Flame look deliver a distinctive, modern style.
• Versatile HSS Layout with 2 Point Tremolo - A custom ceramic humbucker in the bridge and ceramic single coils in the neck and middle positions, controlled by a 5 way blade switch, cover a huge tonal range. The patented 2 point tremolo system and push pull series parallel switch on the bridge pickup add expressive vibrato and extra tonal options.
