Frequently asked questions
Are these guitars identical except for handedness and finish?
Both share the same core specs: set-thru 3-piece mahogany neck, 24.75" scale, Macassar ebony fingerboard, 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, 350mm radius, 43mm nut width, Seymour Duncan Custom 14 pickup, and TonePros locking bridge. The main differences are left versus right-handed orientation, finish color, and slight tone voicing descriptions.
Can a right-handed player use the left-handed EC-01FT?
Technically no—a left-handed guitar's controls, strap button, and electronics are oriented for left-hand operation. Playing it right-handed would be awkward and uncomfortable.
Which is better for beginners?
Both are rated for intermediate to advanced players. The thin U-shaped neck and extra-jumbo frets favor experienced players comfortable with aggressive playing styles rather than beginners learning fundamentals.
Do both have the same pickup and electronics?
Yes—both feature the exclusive Seymour Duncan Custom 14 bridge pickup with push-pull volume coil-split for extended tonal range.
