Hi, guys! Is still Abalone binding placed around the fretboard? I was so in love with that...

 

Carl N.

The binding on the neck will not be abalone but nearly everywhere else will be!

Arbre D.

Hello, please can you tell me if this guitar have push/pull to split the coils ? It's unclear, because many website's vendor tell it doesn't have it in the guitar description.

Todd B. ESP

HI Arbre, Yes we are building this model with a push-pull, but we only started that last year.

Todd B. ESP, below u've said:The EC-1000ASB does not have a solid maple top under the flamed maple veneer. 

Does that man it have a proper flame maple top?

Samuel M.

See my question below.

Carl N.

Hey Alex, this will have a flamed maple veneer.  A veneer is much thinner than a carved top or drop top.  Hope this helps!

Alex S.

Carl N. yes it is, thank You for the reply. Now I know the site provides a wrong information in specs of the guitars, coz it is clearly says TOP: Flamed Maple

Carl N.

Hey Alex, if you want to get technical a veneer is still a top...while it may not be the full thickness top that you can get on our more expensive models in the end it is still classified as one.  A lot of companies use veneers advertised as tops, this is nothing new in the guitar industry.  To put it in perspective there is a $300 upcharge for flamed maple and a $600 upcharge for quilted maple tops on our USA Eclipse instruments, which are full thickness tops, hope this helps you realize the cost involved with using full thickness tops and that most mid-priced instruments advertising tops are using veneers.  Though this should be nothing to cause concern or make you feel like we are deceiving you.

Hello: the guitar stand I got for my EC 1000 Amber Sunburst says: 'Not recommended for nitro cellulose lacquer finish'. Is the EC 1000 Amber Sunburst nitro?

Carl N.

Hey Emiliano, your EC-1000 has a polyurethane finish, nothing to worry about with your stand.

Is there an average/approximate weight for this particular model that you could guesstimate for me? My baseline is my Epiphone Les Paul Custom that weighs 8.4 pounds and because of my degenerative spinal disorder is getting progressively heavier on me. I know it varies depending on wood density, moisture content, appointments, and such, but there has to be a ballpark. That's what I need. Thanks in advance for any/all help!

Todd B. ESP

Hi, the approximate weight for this model is 9lbs.
