Can someone confirm if my EC1000 has stainless steel frets please?
Serial: W19121237
Also, is this a 2019 model?
Many thanks
Had it for a month now, time for a review.
THE GOOD: It's an EC-1000, if you know its name you know its reputation. Consistently reviews at 5 stars, it's the sound of metal. Incredibly quick neck, the fastest I've ever played. Don't need splitcoils for a recordable clean tone, just need the right speaker/IR and a light touch. Weighs close to nothing. Frets are perfect, I repeat: THE FRETS ARE PERFECT. No issues with tuning stability whatsoever and most importantly, it sounds exactly like you expect it to.
THE BAD: Bridge saddles not notched at factory. Just six strings sitting on top of bridge saddles, I'm completely serious. I hope this isn't an intentional design choice because if it is, it's a horrible one. Lucky I own a set of files and was able to do the job myself. For most players this would have warranted a return. Plastic nut at this price bracket is a joke, replaced with Graphtec Black TUSQ XL, which is what the guitar should come with from the factory.
Is the guitar good? Absolutely. Is it okay to pay AUD1900 for an axe that's literally incomplete? No. Is it better than my Epi LP Custom Pro with Black Winters? Not really, certainly not AUD450 better. At the end of the day, I'll be keeping it because as an Australian left-handed person, my options are pretty limited when shopping for a guitar that has 24.75" scale and EMGs, and you can't do a respectable 'Tallica cover without EMGs.
The EC-1000 I reviewed is a Korean-made, not Indonesian or Chinese.
Whoa…I got this model new from Sweetwater this week and literally played it 10 hrs in three days. It’s incredible the level of guitar you can get for $1100. The EMG pickups are smokin HOT! That U shaped neck is the most comfortable I’ve ever played with easy access to everything. Stainless steel frets bend smoother than nickel. It’s kinda a grittier Les Paul built for sin. Definitely to want graduate to an E2 model next year. If you are on the fence seriously just buy one!ESP ROCKS! And thank you Korea!
