EC-1000 or EC 500
EC-1000 or EC 500
New to the board here and looking at my first purchase of a ltd. I have played the 1000 before and loved it, but I am also considering the EC 500 as I love the look of it (haven't played it though). I understand the small difference in specs of these guitars, but I am basically wondering if they have the same feel and playability. Is the sound of the ec 1000 that much greater than the ec 500? I guess my question is directed to those who have played both guitars.
The price of the EC-500 i'm looking at is 550 used, in great condition
and the EC-1000 is 749.99 new
Im kinda torn, my eyes say 500 but my conscience says 1000.
Thanks for any info.
EC-1000, much better guitar, built better and to my eyes, feel and ear, the smaller things that the EC-500 dosnt have, the EC-1000s make the diference.
Same factory, same specs, different binding. |I
I have a H500 and H1000 and there's not much of a difference concerning playability or tone (except for the 18V mod).

the ONLY difference between the 500's and 1000's that i've noticed is visual things. when i've played them, they didn't feel or sound too much different.
the 1000 I played (gloss black) sounded a bit thinner compared to the black cherry 500 I played which had a nice fat sound.
but i'm sure that probably is just one of those, some guitars have it others don't kind of things, i'm sure the 1000's are easily just as good from guitar to guitar.
