Ltd EC-1000 Eclipse Electric Guitar W/emg Pickups - Violet Shadow

Amazing, right out of the box! Gorgeous maple top and headstock design along with the flag inlays and black/chrome hardware. But how it handles...wow! The 'U' shape neck is just like my '72 Strat so the LTD felt familiar right away. (The U neck is chunky and may not be right for everyone) It's really well balanced sitting down or standing with a strap. The action is spot on and access to the higher frets not a problem. The bridge is comfortable on the right hand. And the specific instrument that I ordered is HEAVY. It feels like I'm playing a full guitar, not just a slice of a guitar! And the sound... THE SOUND!!

Took a little while to get used to the high output of the EMGs but well worth it. I could not be happier with this guitar and the price is incredible.

I love this guitar and it arrived two days after talking to Sweetwater. Pictures don't do it justice, unreal how beautiful this guitar is. I have been looking but I can't find a flaw.
