LTD EC-331 vs EC-401
LTD EC-331 vs EC-401
Hi! I´ve been looking at getting an LTD eclipse and would like to hear if anyone has any experience with the EC-331 and EC-401. Except for the hardware and electronics, is there any real quality difference? They both have actives, which i don´t like so the pickups don´t matter.
No, seriously. The difference is brand name hardware. Pickups and tuners. That's it. Otherwise identical guitars in every other aspect.

Like them or not, the 401 has higher quality (and more valuable) EMG 61 and 80. The 401 also features Grover tuners as opposed to the 331's ESP generic tuners.
