Description

As one of the most innovative and versatile guitars in the LTD Deluxe Series, the EC-1000 PIEZO is our first model to include both standard magnetic pickups as well as a completely separate piezo pickup system. Piezo pickups create a very different sound from typical magnetic pickups, offering excellent articulate, acoustic-like tones. With the EC-1000 PIEZO, you can use the mini toggle switch to select between the standard pickup set -- the excellent Seymour Duncan ’59 and JB -- and a Fishman Powerbridge and Tailpiece, or even combine them both. This level of sonic flexibility continues to the guitar's dual output jacks, allowing you to route the pickups to different combinations of amplifiers or interfaces onstage for live performances or in the studio for recording sessions. The EC-1000 PIEZO offers a great-looking quilted maple top on its mahogany body, and is available in See Thru Blue and See Thru Black finishes.

Overall very well made. Pickups and control knobs working properly. Would have been a keeper, but had some finishing issues. Had to return.

  • This is an awesome guitar!
Color: Tiger Eye Style: Fluence
First, the stock photos don't really do the "tiger eye" justice. The color is more of a fiery orange than a brown that stock photos indicate. The flamed maple has almost a 3D look with the look of the grain changing with the angle of viewing. She's a beauty, but loves fingerprints. The Fluence pickups are supremely quiet, loud and clear, if that makes sense. My guitar teacher was impressed with the sound despite being an old-school guy when it comes to gear. I like the Fishmans, but you should try them out at a store first. The tuners are slick, sensitive and locking. The XL frets make bends easy and smooth and the neck is very comfortable. All in all this has a lot of nice touches and everything says quality. It's fun to play and really resonates in your hands, giving you feedback. I think this could use a longer scale length neck to go with the 24 frets, if I have any quibbles. This version is made in Korea. ... show more

  • Meh
Color: Vintage Black Style: Duncan
Strings are buzzing against the fret board and the intonation is off, needs work right out of the box. For the price, this guitar should be ready to play. Fret board was very dirty too, I don't feel like its worth the price at all. The neck feels small, maybe because its 24 frets on a 24-3/4" neck, probably should be 22 frets. Nice looking guitar though. ... show more

  • Fantastic Guitar
Color: See Thru Black Style: Piezo
I took this guitar on an airplane a few days after it arrived it had a good set up on it. I did a weeks worth of outdoor gigs in Florida it performed flawlessly. The piezo system is excellent. It stayed in tune well. I then flew back to Minnesota with it and did a gig in 90 degree heat in direct sunlight. Once again it performed flawlessly and stayed in tune. The neck didn't change at all in those temperature extremes. It is worth the money. ... show more

  • Just buy it you want regret it
Color: Tiger Eye Style: Fluence
Nothing bad to say about this guitar . I’ve own many American made guitars and wasn’t sure about Ltd plus coming from a online retailer what was it gonna be like . The guitar arrived fast and packed ok. The neck is really stable feet work is good miner fret buzz at a low action . The body was pristine, the locking tuners are very touchy high ratio . The Fishman pick ups well if you love EMG’s your gonna love these clarity of each string is unreal . I can also say this is the loudest resonating guitar I’ve ever seen ... show more

Color: Vintage Black Style: Duncan
For beginners is a good guitar, I am not a guitarist (professional) although, has a nice tone and the fretboard is dynamic, dies get out tube easy as my other electric guitar. I am still in the process of discovering more about this guitar I should say that for me is a little bit pricy
