Description

The LTD EC-1000T offers the tone, feel, looks and quality that serious guitarists need, at a price that working musicians love. With the EC-1000T, musicians get a traditional full-thickness body that is chambered for weight relief, making long shows less of a strain on your back. It offers set-thru construction for easy access to the higher frets. The EC-1000T comes with a Seymour Duncan Sentient neck pickup and Seymour Duncan Pegasus for the bridge. On the neck pickup, Voice 1 offers the coveted vintage P.A.F. tone, Voice 2 is an airy chime, and Voice 3 is a vintage single-coil. For the bridge pickup, Voice 1 is the P.A.F., Voice 2 is the classic hot-rodded humbucker, and Voice 3 is an overwound single coil. The resulting sonic versatility of this guitar is astounding. The EC-1000T also features a flamed maple top, mahogany body and 3-piece mahogany neck.

Note: If you choose the Black version, it comes with Fishman Fluence Classic humbuckers. These pickups, with voicings you can select with push-pull controls, offer everything from vintage P.A.F. tones through airy chimes through classic hot-rodded humbucker tones.

    This is a quality guitar. There is one problem. Two volume and 1 tone but the tone is a push/pull….shouldn't it be the individual volume knobs???

    I thought this yellowish guitar was the EC-1000T/CT and those pickups it comes with are Fishman Classics. And the FM is the black flame burst. Please confirm, because I wish to buy
