Ltd EC-1000 , different frets number...
Hello, does anyone know why some ec-1000 models have 22 frets, whereas others (the majority) have 24? Thanks, Flavio
your question, yes, they sound a bit different. The 22 fret has that classic sound on the neck, almost fuzz like when you have it on the edge of breakup with a tube amp. It's not a huge difference, and only really noticeable in that specific situation IME. With my amps gunned, like I normally play, there isn't a huge difference. Obviously no difference on the bridge.
yeah, but it won't the same if you ask me next week, lol. Right now it's my 1000S because I'm working on a recording with it and needed a hardtail. These are all ones I've kept after playing them though. Some of them, like the Strat I never play, sounded better than anything in the music store. I've helped a lot of friends pick out stuff, and sometimes you play an instrument that just blows away everything else. He wanted a single cut humbucker, and I wasn't in the market for a guitar. Had nightmares of losing it, and went back that morning when it opened, lol.
probably just preference, the 22 vs 24 frets changes the placement of the pickups.
