There is no doubt, we are in the high end LTD by ESP, it is well worth the EC-1000 and company despite what you read on different forum.
Made in Korea, this guitar has two EMG 81. In the neck position is a little cold but with a good multi effects pedal such as GFX8, one can arrive at sound and jazzy blues. In the bridge position gives access to modern and ultra sounds very typical style deChimaira, Machine Head, In Flames, etc ... In other words, artificial harmonics are legion.
The maple neck conducting liner combined with a Floyd Rose (original please) provides excellent sustain.
The guitar has two knobs (volume and tone) and a 3 position switch (neck pickup, bridge, or both).
UTILIZATION
The neck is fairly wide and will suit large hands but not discouraged small (a few hours to get used). However it is a real highway, the slides are closed eyes and the pleasure of play is greatly improved.
It is worth noting that access to the treble is particularly easy as on most of ESP and LTD.
Unfortunately the fact that the guitar is fully maple (body + table + handle) makes weight are very important and promising sore shoulder after a few hours of play standing (concerts and repeated '), get your subscription to the gym ! Strato basic form to get high with a nice arm which does not MH400 nt for example.
Even with a crappy amp (well, not too much) we arrive at an excellent sound quality. It really feels the power of both the power chord EMG81 and for solos.
I put 9 / 10 just because of the weight of the beast.
SOUNDS
Both say right away, this guitar is definitely not for the punkers, the jazz, the blues man, etc ... although, as I said above, with a small pedal effects ...
This skyscraper is primarily made for metalheads who like tearing the ears of their neighbors with powerful riffs and slamming solos.
For my part I play on a line6 spider II 212 home and a Peavey 5150 and repeating in concert '(provided by the Brise Glace, Association of amplified music Annecy). This config gives a precise and powerful. All combined with a Zoom effects pedal GFX8 and you have a real killer.
OVERALL OPINION
I have this guitar for about 1 month and it never let me down. My frequency of play is about one hour and a half days (and yes there are studies too) and I discover every day more about the scratches. What I like about this guitar is of course his sound and vibrato. Before this guitar I was not too fan of vibrato but since the purchase of the M-1000 I think I could not part with it. Without too much abuse, I must admit that a little bit of vibrato solo that sounds really good.
I tried the MH 400 nt, which also sounds great by the way, but having sufficient financial contribution I have been tempted by the M-1000 in part due to its pink floyd and aesthetics.
The price of this guitar is relatively high (€ 1190 in Annecy Music) but visually and technically, it is truly a cut above other guitars made for such use.
You have understood the choice I would definitely do it again.
