Just picked one of these up. Nice guitar! It is not neck heavy like the EC1000 Tiger eye was that I had. This one has a heavy body which I like.

 

Fishman Fluence pickups are the best bar none. They don't have the sterile sound and harsh top end that other actives that you guys use. Would love to see you guy have more of the Fluence in many more of your guitars. EMG is tired and the same old design for over 40 years

Hey David, glad you're enjoying your new LTD and thank you for your feedback!

David try the EMG'S JH set there the best pickups they ever made yet only use em on Hetfields signatures which makes no sense to me... 

David W.

Thanks, that is what I thought. But one of the online vendors, AMS said they were made in China or Indonesia. Must be a mistake on their part.

Carl N.

Hey David, not everyone can be perfect. 

David W.

Are these guitars made in China now? I have seen on several online vendor websites that these guitars are made in either China or Indonesia 

Carl N.

Hey David, these are made in both Korea and Indonesia, hope this helps!

Can i use 0.070 gauge on 6th string?

Carl N.

Hey Bucky, just like the SN model you had asked about, changing these to a larger gauge and/or tuning would require your instrument to be setup to accommodate the larger diameter strings or lower tuning.  A professional guitar technician should have no problems performing this type of change for you.

Ordered this one today and bought the hardshell case with it. Very excited about it getting here

Received my S Fluence this last Friday. Mine is Indonesian. When I saw that I was disappointed. I have a couple of Korean built guitars that are phenomenal. This guitar really put any doubts i had about country of origin being the deciding factor over the quality of a guitar. I have some expensive guitars including a U.S. made PRS. And this guitar plays and sounds as good if not better than any of the other guitars I own. Which include Ibanez, Kiesel and Ernie Ball. If you have any doubts put them aside this is an amazing guitar.
