GOLD ANDROMEDA
Guitars in the LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks, and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument, while remaining affordable enough for serious players. The LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Gold Andromeda has a completely mind-blowing iridescent finish that emits different hues as light is reflected from different angles. This guitar, with gold hardware that complements its finish, comes with a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups… Alnico in the neck, and Ceramic in the bridge, with a push-pull voice selection control. It also has 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and a TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece.
Masterpiece at a modest price.
Have had mine for 2-3 weeks now, arriving 6 weeks before estimated no less!
I was fairly skeptical about a guitar at this price made in Indonesia. Nothing personal against Indonesia, I just never see expensive items for sale in any industry from Indonesia; So I was concerned about what a kinda quality I'd receive for not only a piece of art, but an instrument.
This guitar is EXTRAORDINARY!
The construction is flawless, I've gone over it again looking for imperfections and haven't found in thing so a big win to the Indonesian craftsman making ESP guitars. It is every bit as good as my 2005 LTD made in Korea. Functionally every-thing's where it should be, stellar playability/fretboard, keeps tuning, and knobs n pegs are smooth turning. But the tones you can get with the Fishman Fluence's on this guitar are both manifold and distinct from one another. The paint job looks even more incredible in person as you can see the photo. The gold ranges from caramel/copper-ish to straw/platinum. The red is actually far more purple than it is red, but is still gorgeous. The gold fittings are even more vibrant and shiny in person too, as a whole the guitar is stunning.
You will regret nothing buying this.
You might want to try purchasing off Sweetwater; They offer financing through Affirm. Not only can it allow you to manage cheap payments ($50-$70/month) but you can build your credit as well. Only downside is interest, but I personally feel it's worth it.
Or if you don't want to go the interest route, Zzounds does loans with zero interest.
