Does anyone know the shaft size on the pots I like to change my knobs

I own a Phoenix 401 and love the neck through & the neck volute...these two features alone have made LTD my guitar brand of choice. Hope to get a Viper at some point. The Phoenix-1000 looks absolutely amazing - wish it had 24 frets. No more Gibsons or Epiphones for me.

If it had Seymour Duncans JB and 59 id buy on in a second

Here is my review:

As with most guitars the setup can be good or bad. The set up on this one had really high action, highest I have ever seen. Re-stringed it and re-set the guitar up to my specs. That went well, the neck adjustment was dead on which usually isn't the case. So I was happy with that.

One big issue with these style guitars is the tendency to neck dive due to the body design. This one was the worst I have ever seen!

Neck dive can be compensated for with proper location of the front Strat button to be closer to the neck heel. So to alleviate this so I could play the guitar standing up, I relocated the strap button to the rear of the neck pocket and this made a worlds of difference. Should have been already done this way since everyone for years has always known that explorer/Firebird type guitars are very prone to this.  The tone push/pull pot was literally barely hanging on it was so loose. So I tightened that up.

After all that I have a really nice guitar. Plays great and sounds great too. Overall very happy with the purchase.

This one was made in Indonesia which most of the LTD line has shifted to know due to the higher costs involved with South Korean factories these days. 

It would be just perfect if it had the coil split voice wired too and not only the voice 1/2 switch!

Hallo,

I have a question about the bridge. Is the spacing of the stop-tailpiece studs 81.5 mm / 3.2"?
Best regards.

Any plans on making this guitar in other finishes for 2021?

Awesome guitar! Any plans on making one in snow white with black pickguard?

Thanks, I have no doubt that I will like it. I own 3 LTD's. An EC 1000, EC 1000 FR and a EC 1000T. My favorite guitars.

have ordered the black cherry model. still waiting for it. John Marshall

When will these be available? I’m impatient when it comes to online orders and would like a rough idea of when to expect them to ship. 

Any chance to get this in black?

Ordered!  Can't freakin wait for it to come in.  98% of my guitars are EC models, so ready to see how the Phoenix feels.  Sure it will be a Thrash and Death Metal beast! \m/

The only thing that'd make this better would be a 7 string variant. Outside of that, I'm just glad the Phoenix is back. We need more of this kinda shape in the world.

Does this guitar have a satin or gloss finished neck?

What are the dimensions of this guitar? Length and width. I prefer using a well-padded gig bag. Any plans to offer a gig bag for this, ESP? Thanks. 

Any chance this be available left handed? Would really love to own one of these 

Any clue what kind of price this will be? A lot of the other models are up for preorders on retail sites, but I can't find this one anywhere 

Wooooowwwww so awesome
