Guoqiang Wang, Inheritor of traditional lacquer painting and decorating techniques.
Lacquer is the plant sap cut from the lacquer tree. The Compendium of Materia Medica records that "Lacquer tree, the whole plant can be used as medicine".Artifacts made of lacquer have the characteristics of wear-resistant, heat-resistant, water-insulating, good insulation, acid, and alkali corrosion-resistant, etc. It is a high-quality coating for the military industry, industrial equipment, capital construction, handicrafts, and high-end furniture.
The art of using lacquer is known as traditional lacquer painting and decorating techniques and is an intangible cultural heritage of China, with a history of more than 8,000 years in the country. Only the Ming Dynasty "Painting and Decorating Record" records that there are more than 180 kinds of lacquer crafts. Eart Musical Instrument Co. and Guoqiang Wang, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of traditional lacquer painting and decorating techniques, have entered into a cooperation to apply one of the nearly 200 different lacquer techniques to guitars. He not only solves the problem of over-uniformity of factory products but also meets the psychological needs of people in pursuit of individuality and creativity. This craft has been passed down from the Song Dynasty for more than 1,000 years. Its unique texture language, the direction of the mixed grain, and the colorful color experience all interpret the natural oriental aesthetics and the absolutely beautiful Chinese mood. This craftsman uses this process to realize the creation of one-of-a-kind pieces, giving each guitar the value of a work of art.

Quite extraordinary. Beautiful.
Hello from Orlando Florida USA. I have the EART Guitar T-380, Modern Humbucker Pickups, Double Coil Split, Two Point Tremolo Bridge, Solid Body Electric Guitar painted white. I love “almost” everything about this guitar more than my expensive Fender guitars made in USA. However, there is only one thing I didn’t like. The ball ends on fret wires look good, but when sliding my hand up and down the neck, the bumping gets painful. Also, the fret board edge is not rounded off for comfort. So, I spent many hours carefully filing the ball ends down flat to be look like all other guitars being sold in USA, plus I filed the fret wood edge round, which is also like expensive USA guitars have. Now it feels great and very comfortable to play. I cannot send a photo, but I am sure you understand what I am saying. I will translate English to Chinese with my computer.
你好，来自美国佛罗里达州奥兰多。我有 EART 吉他 T-380、现代双线圈拾音器、双线圈分体式、两点颤音琴桥、漆成白色的实心电吉他。我“几乎”喜欢这把吉他的一切，胜过我昂贵的美国制造的 Fender 吉他。然而，只有一件事我不喜欢。品丝上的球端看起来不错，但当我的手在琴颈上上下滑动时，碰撞会感到疼痛。此外，为了舒适起见，指板边缘并未经过倒圆处理。因此，我花了很多时间仔细地将球端锉平，使其看起来像在美国销售的所有其他吉他，另外我将品丝木边缘锉成圆形，这也像昂贵的美国吉他一样。现在玩起来感觉很棒而且很舒服。我无法发送照片，但我相信您明白我在说什么。我会用我的电脑将英语翻译成中文。

Thank you for the email.
I was just thinking of you guys this morning, I was going to email you to let you know how happy I was with both of my guitars. I’ve been playing for 38 years, and these two are the best guitars I’ve ever played. Really grateful to have come along and found you guys. Keep up the good work, I’m sure I’ll be back at some point. Take care.
