ESP LTD EC-1000 Duncan Vintage Black - Electric Guitar

Product Information

Nevertheless, if you’re convinced that this is your instrument of choice even though it’s out of your budget, you might want to consider getting yourself a second-hand EC-1000. High-quality guitars usually work very well even after several years of service. Some mediocre details For example, if you’re interested in playing blues, jazz, country, or pop, a Les Paul or a Stratocaster is much better at handling low gain tones. You can find an Epiphone Les Paul or a Mexican Stratocaster for cheaper, and they’ll get the job done. The Verdict

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. It’s also a lot lighter than a Les Paul, so you’ll be able to play long sessions, sitting or standing.Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. Don’t get me wrong. There are definitely guitars out there that are higher quality than the EC-1000. However, you’ll have to pay a lot more for a guitar that’s only marginally better. For example, the LTD EC-1000 offers 90% of what the ESP Eclipse E-II offers. So if you want the Eclipse, you’ll end up paying 2 times as much for a guitar that’s only 10% better.

For the most part, all of the ESP LTD lines of guitars are modeled after ESP’s official premium guitars. The LTD EC-1000 is no exception, sharing the same design as the ESP Eclipse E-II. The layout of control knobs on this guitar goes as follows: Volume/Volume/Tone, and Toggle Switch. What this guitar doesn’t have is a tremolo, so if you’re used to this feature, ESP LTD EC-1000 might not be your guitar of choice. Reliability This version of the EC-1000 features the EverTune bridge. The EverTune bridge has a revolutionary design that ensures your guitar stays in perfect tune no matter what. It does this by keeping a constant state of tension on the strings regardless of temperature or humidity changes. If you live in an area where there is a lot of climate change or is humid, you should definitely consider this model. It sounds like it’s too good to be true, but I can assure you that it works like a dream. There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to setting one up properly, but once done, you basically never have to retune your guitar.

Customer Reviews

And on paper, the EC-1000 is objectively a fantastic guitar, especially when you consider the price. As you'd expect a Les Paul guitar to be , it's a bit heavy , not too bad though , so don't worry thinking it's weighting like a tank , but it's just a bit heavier than your regular standard style guitar The Finish is incredible , it feels so good and you can sense the work that has been put into the instrument The ESP LTD brand has an outstanding reputation for delivering quality electric guitars at affordable prices.
