Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between these two guitars?
The EC-1000B is a left-handed model; the EC-1000 is right-handed. All hardware, pickups, electronics, neck construction, and tonal character are identical between them.
Are the pickups and electronics the same on both models?
Yes. Both feature dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers (alnico neck, ceramic bridge), active electronics with independent volume controls, master tone with push/pull switching, and TonePros locking TOM bridges with string-thru design.
What skill level and genres suit these guitars?
Both are designed for intermediate to professional players in metal, hard rock, djent, and drop-tuning styles. The 27-inch baritone scale and articulate pickups excel in aggressive, extended-range composition and are not ideal for jazz, country, or folk.
Is there a price difference between the two models?
Both are listed in the mid-tier price bracket with no stated price differential. Check current availability, as left-handed models may have different stock or lead times.
