only still own the purple one. well, the black one is in a case somewheres with no pickups at the moment, went through my phase of wanting and liking the black trucksters, and luckily outgrew it.
has anyone ever had a custom pickguard fitted for the EC series? I'm thinking about getting one done for my EC1k
It wont fit unless you move or get rid of that first vol knob. I wanted to do it to my EC 256 and thats the problem I ran into. If you had the old style 2 & 2 control layout (like the truckster, iron cross, etc) you would just have to shave a little off the middle piece between the pickups and it would fit perfectly, but that knob on the new style EC's is in the way.
...Well, unless you drill a big hole in the middle of it LOL
The way old LTDs had actual abalone inlays from the factory. The LTD logo on the 12th, though, is plastic. Not like the abalone on my Mirage custom :-p
This one actually has the serial stamped on the fretboard right below the 24th fret. It's a hair above 45000, but I don't know LTD production amounts, or how the serials are done. I assume sequentially, but I'm not sure.
iklomate,
I got the waterslide decal sheets locally from a train hobby store. I printed my design on normal paper, and then took it to a copy store and had it copied on to the waterslide paper. Depending on what you do, you have to spray a couple of coats of laquer on the paper before wetting it. The best results would come from an ALPS printer if you can find one.
Nice inlays! Totally agree bout the neck. I find myself picking up my EC-50 before my MH-250 just because of how slick the neck plays!!!
