Hello, I just bought this ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo - See Thru Black guitar and I have a problem with the battery, it runs out quickly and when I use the Piezo Pickup after a while it starts to make a lot of noise and forces me to change again the battery, besides this my knobs are not push pull and I cannot activate the single coil option. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hey Lisandro, perhaps you are leaving this plugged in while not in use, also this may have been produced prior to when push/pull was standard equipment.  You'll want to reach out to our service department if you need further assistance with this, they can be reached at customerservice@espguitars.com

          Hello,

          Almost 2 months ago i've bought my EC1000p guitar. Recently i can hear some differences between Jack2(Mag) and Jack1(Mag/Piezo) while it is switched to "Mag only" .less gain and muddy sound while using Jack 1. why is that?Could it be the battery?

            Hey Amirreza, first assumption would be the battery.  Be sure not to leave this plugged in while you are not using it, the jack acts as an on/off switch for the battery.  If you need further assistance with this you may reach out to our customer service department at customerservice@espguitars.com

              Hi, I've got my ltd EC1000p several months ago and everything was working fine. but the other day when I plugged my guitar in JACK 1 with mono cable the magnetic pickup didn't work. when I use the mag/piezo selector only piezo pickup have sound. It means I don't have the blend of both magnetic and piezo right now. please help me with this. what could be the problem?

              it is good to know that when I use JACK 2 the magnetic pickups work fine and when I use a stereo cable in JACK 1, just piezo pick up have sound and nothing is coming out of magnetic pickups.

              appreciate any help or idea on this.

                Hi Arman, Did you try changing the battery? That is always the first thing to check. If it's not that, then I would suggest checking the output jack wiring and making sure that something did not break or move. It is common for example if the jack gets loose it could turn or spin and one of the wires or contacts could break or touch something and cause the output to be lost. If you need further help please contact your dealer or our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com

                  Todd,

                  Thanks for the help. I changed the battery and it solved the problem. the old battery had around 6V in it instead of 9V.

                  Thanks again for the reply.

                    Hey Arman, Glad to hear that! One tip I can give you is to unplug your cable when not in use, because it will drain the battery slowly. Usually batteries will last a long time, maybe a year or 6 months, but once the voltage gets much lower than 9V it should be replaced. Sometimes you will hear a distorted sound or "fuzzy" sound and it could be the battery is getting too weak.

                      Hi,

                       

                      I see that there has been an update to this model and it now includes push pull coil splits. Mine does not have that so I am wondering if it is possible to add to mine (does the pickups have the needed wiring in the pre updated model) and if it is possible, do you sell the items that are needed to make it work?

                        Hi Snir, The push pull function to split the coil is done by changing out the tone pot and reconfiguring the wiring. You should not have to replace the pickup. You can take your guitar to any repair person to have this sort of thing done. Sorry but we do not sell the parts to do this.
