This guitar is total awesome sauce. Update: I've been playing this guitar for a few months now. Still sounds amazing. My main guitar is a Gibson Les Paul but this thing is right up there, and its SOOO much lighter than the Gibson. 5 Stars still stands!

    • Good guitar bad frets.

Review Image by TheGrimRater TheGrimRater
The seller Sam ash provided the guitar. It’s great except the frets. If you pass the 45 days they will not care one bit if they sold you something faulty to begin with. Frets are sharp on both sides and uneven at certain points. Out the box this issues occurred I should have played it once I ordered it. If you order and get one with no issues it truly is a nice guitar for beginner-intermediate players. ... show more

    • Very nice guitar
Style: Standard Color: Black
Edit: Excellent guitar. Replacement was in perfect condition. Be wary that amazon ships the guitar in the original product box and is very prone to damage.

I actually purchased the guitar for my son for which happens to love it! He thinks it is great...easy to handle and it was what he was looking for. He probably would do a better job describing it.

    • Most comfortable guitar I’ve ever played

Review Image by Saltz Saltz
I have two LTDs red Strat style and charcoal EC-401. This guitar is amazingly comfortable and it sounds great. I played a lot of guitars over the 30+ years and I can’t tell everybody how much I love this thing After proper set up an intonation the neck holds up nice once you dial everything in and it doesn’t move. It’s lighter weight is appreciated compared to others with the same body style. Pickups: EMG 81- Bridge EMG 60 - Neck Got plenty of mean and saturated sound from the 81. Great sustain More so a muddy tone with the 60 but may sound sexy with Texas Blues amp sound I like EMG and you can customize them if you’d like. These are active pick ups and they run on 9 V or 18v Running them at 18 V increases the headroom and other tonal qualities. I tried this technique on two guitars and one sounded awesome. The EC-401 was better left at 9v ... show more
