locking for a new guitar
locking for a new guitar
Hi there
i'm looking for a new guitar and need your help.
The specs for what i want:
EC / LP shape
no whammy bar
decent high output passive PUs (i.e. Duncan Jeff Beck)
don't care if 22 or 24 frets
should be not offensive to the eye, i.e. pink color :P
good hardware
it's going to be used for oldschool rock to modern metal.
price should be 700-900 €.
as far as i can tell there are a few LTD models with 'full thickness'.
to those of you who had the chance to compare these models, how much is the wheight difference and the tone difference say between the EC1000T to the EC1000. (As i understand: only the EC1000T and 1000CTM are full thickness?)
so far the most interesting models on the model overview are:
EC1000CTM
EC1000T
EC1000FM
EC1000VB/Duncan
unfortunatelly no model fullfills my expectations completely:
-the CTM has active PU's
-the 1000T has low output PU's and i can't find a shop here in my country that lists it
-the FM is not full thickness and the binding locks a bit too fancy, at least in the pictures. is it better in real life?
-the VB/Duncan locks really nice except the gold PU cases (can i get it without them?) and is not full thickness as well. it's listet in some shops but not in stock. when did it come out?
How is the production tolerance for these models, do i have to lock out for 'bad' guitars?
Can i get the standard models with different PU's or do i have to buy extra PU's and replace them (and lose warranty)?
How are the EC401 compared to the 1000?
Are there full thickness 401?
Any alternatives to these LTD models?
(i guess not :) )
If some of you could answer a few of these questions it would help me a lot. thanks.
