HOMEEC-1000 MGO Review
Excerpt from Guitar Player Magazine (March 2010)
The design, for one, certainly evokes the Les factor, but the "unfurled flag" fret markers, wavy-top headstock, sharp cutaway, and supermodel-slim profile are striking artifacts of a modern burner. The build quality is magnificent. The review model's gold finish is flawless, and the high-gloss lacquer is as smooth as a just-Zamboni'd ice rink. All hardware is battened-down tight—the pickups don't rattle in their mounts, and there are no buzzes or wonky knobs.
Basically, everything about the guitar screams that you paid a lot more than $799 street for it. We've certainly seen much more expensive models come through GP Central with slightly less-outstanding craftsmanship.
I was impressed that, even with stupid amounts of saturation from amp-and-pedal combinations, the EC-1000 wouldn't spazz out and produce blurry, vague, or hazy sound. Not every guitar can make that boast—which is why dual-humbucker players should definitely check out an EC-1000, as well as why I feel it deserves the ultimate GP recommendation of an Editors' Pick Award.
