- After 2 years of owning this beast of a guitar, I wanted to give it an honest demo and review. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

I’m sorry about any background noise. They’re doing a renovation to the restaurant upstairs from my place.
I had the vintage black with emg's but had to sell it a while back cuz I needed the cash. it was the best feeling and best sounding guitar i ever played, i loved it so much. i really wanna get another ec1000. im considering getting this fluence version next time around.
John! You are humble as ever and your opinion is not biased at all in all honesty. Keep fucking playing metal \m/
Thank you very much brother! I try to stay unbiased and make the demos I used to search for.
nice guitar sound, makes my heart happy today
♥️ I’m really glad that it makes you happy to hear my demo and review. Thank you for checking it out and I hope you have a great weekend!
I think they’re the best pick ups on the market. Harmonics and definition is hundred percent.
I definitely agree but they are also the best pick ups when you are tuning very low.
It’s a very well specked out guitar - nice with the locking tuners. Sounds great too. Another excellent video, JB 🤘
Thank you Dunsy. These literally are the best guitar Fretz and I’m not exactly sure which type they are but the string glides over them so smooth without effort. Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets, LTD locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. It also offers set-thru construction with a mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck…. no idea the material for the frets.
@stories with RAFQA KHAN I subscribed 🌹 I love your channel!
Thanks for the honest review!
Great review! I've played one of those Ec-1000 guitars back in the day. My brother's friend had a black cherry one (an early 2000's model) and I've picked it up and played it. Really nice guitar! They sure change a lot with the features like pickups, locking tuners, and colors. I like the Les Paul shape.
It’s my favorite shape because it doesn’t have the neck dive but I feel like with the cut away for the stomach, it’s even more comfortable.
I love the LTD brand. They are made so well. The Fishman pickups also have a great blend of low, high and mid EQs from what I hear. Thank you for the excellent review, John. 👍
You’re welcome. I found that it helps make your guitar tone sound really sick which might not be so good for certain types of music but if you are playing some thing and you need a heavier guitar tone, this is the way to go.
Great work John, awesome demo man 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much and I am glad that you enjoyed my video! 🏆🤘I wanted to try to experiment to see how it goes when I put background music when I’m talking. What did you think of it? Was it less boring that way?
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Go for what you are comfortable with John, sounded great with the music as well 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥
@@AdamBurseMusic Thank you very much. I’m glad that it turned out good.
Wonderful video! The sound is so cool and exciting. Honestly, I do not use an electric guitar usually, but it is really interesting to see an electric guitar. Thank you for sharing. Big LIKE #20!
Thank you very much for checking out my video. I am the same way about an acoustic guitar. I like to see others play the acoustic guitar although it’s not some thing I can do very well myself. I also like watching somebody play regular rock lead guitar with solos and that’s something that I also cannot do well but I like to check it out.
Great guitar and review.. Well done! Big like and full support from another UA-cam musician.. Keep it up!
Thank you! I’ve got plans for a sweet video soon!
Wow.. Great review.
The sound is fantastic
Thank you very much. It’s definitely one of the better guitars I have owned.
GREAT WORK 🔥 i like this TONE 🎸💪🎸
Thank you. I’m going to keep a Halloween special going for the entire rest of October and I’m going to make one good video for a special on Halloween.
Awesome Sound and Video! I like your honest opinion
I appreciate that a lot! I’m definitely going to be doing some really cool videos for the rest of October being Halloween influenced.
Well Only Halfway Through This and I Think It Rocks And So Does Your Playing..Thanks For Sharing,I Love Black,I Get it about keeping it Clean,Dont Care as Long as Its Screaming,Lol,Have a Rockin Day 🤘🖤✌
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I’m looking forward to doing more videos with this guitar and possibly my purple Charvel soon.
I love the tone of that axe 🪓
This is definitely the best guitar I have ever owned for playing metal when you need a thick aggressive tone.
Hey I saw you comment on one of my videos and for some reason UA-cam deleted it, but anyways I appreciate it! Also that's a sick guitar, my uncle had one similar to that except it was purple. Great guitar skills you have too
I’m sorry about getting back to you so late but thank you so much for checking out my video. I also appreciate the compliments. This guitar is definitely worth every penny.
Amazing guitar really like it has a great tone with the locking tuners that’s super awesome 🔥🎸🔥
The locking tuners really help with making string changes more quickly 🎃🤘🎸🏆 But I love the frets because bending notes is a lot easier and smoooooooth!
You have an amazing guitar brother 💪💪💪
@@transforminggravity15626 Now I have another amazing guitar! Oh man! I won’t be able to stop making new vids with it either.
Wow it looks like new mm and the sounds was still great perfect
Thank you very much for checking out my video! I’m glad you like it. This is definitely my favorite guitar.
Hey, John! Just wanted to say thank you for your videos! Watching all of them 🤘🏽😛
Waiting for some Halloween themes, if you will celebrate it 👀👻
Have a good weekend as well, bye bye 👋🏼
I’m definitely going to be adding some Halloween themes. 🎃 They’re going to be so fun!
Hi morning and nice video thank you for sharing happy day good weekend too like 🙋♀️👍
Have a great week ahead! I love your cooking channel as I wish to cook more Thai foods.
Great stuff! I have to agree- these are killer instruments.
Thank you so much! It’s an old video but I’m glad people are still checking it out!
I’m not sure you’ll be into it but I’ve been focusing more on my smaller channel experimenting with electronic music. Here’s a link to a video. I’ll be adding industrial metal songs eventually with vocals in the near future.

Sub if you like what I do there. With this channel, I’ll probably start making grindcore or slam metal music with hints of electronic music infused into it. Just coming up with a name is difficult.
👏🏽👏🏽Nice demo/review! 😆I LOLed for real over the "bends over butter". So, speaking of finishes, we were just lamenting over gloss versus satin... the satin finish isn't as matte as actual matte finish, but gloss has been much easier for getting fingerprints/oils off compared to satin or matte.
Gloss would show fingerprints more than satin and that’ll show more than matte. I’m also a woodworker so that’s how I know. Oil finishes also show more than water based finishes
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Maybe I don't wash my hands thoroughly enough... and man, I wash my damn hands! 😆
@@Leenie333 😆 I normally don’t always wash my hands. It keeps our immune system heathy that way.
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Umm, lick some elevator or ATM buttons for a boost too? 🤮
@@Leenie333 Hahaha…. Kidding. 🤣😂😅😄
Hi morning and wow nice beautiful video thank you for sharing happy day good weekend too like 👍
Thank you so much for always giving my channel the support and love. I hope you have a great week ahead and you’ll stay tuned because my next video is going to be very nice.
Hey buddy thank you for the video. im into play mostly riffs from the big four(mainly metallica and megadeth. Do you recommend still this one or with EMG one ? What do you think about this guitar's performance when you play Metallica riffs
It lacks the bite EMG pickups have but it makes up from having a much thicker tone. It’s a tone you feel in your chest!
Sending my love and support 🤗❤️👍
Thank you so much for all of the support you have given to me! 😃
Thanks for all your information):Respect your opinion & sending my support)):: 👍
🇺🇸 I’m really glad to know that you liked my video plus I’m happy to get all the support that I can get! Thanks for checking out my upload!
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos of course🌷🌷🌷
@@AMERICAILoveYou I’m making the rest of my videos this month based around Halloween 🎃 🐈⬛ I hope you’ll get to see them!
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Thanks for telling):
@@AMERICAILoveYou You’re welcome! 🕷🎶🏆🍁 They’re all in good fun but feel free to share my videos too.
My Brother John This Guitar Is Absolutely Amazing END OF Story. Thank you brother for the kind words.
You’re welcome and I appreciate you checking out my video. I hope you had a great weekend!
Very nice upload, have a great weekend🙂👌
Oh yeah! I’ll have to make a quick add-in for my next video. I’m in a resort town in Stowe, Vermont! 🍁 I love this area! I hope you’re doing well!
Great video and great guitar!
Really looking forward to buy this one.
Wondering what gauge thickness and tuning you used for the video?
I’ve usually got this guitar tuned down a half step. You definitely will not regret it as long as you play metal.
great sound bro😊👍🤘
Thank you so much for checking out my video. I just uploaded a very nice long video regarding doom metal so I hope you’ll have time to check that out as well.
Thanks for the review! Question: your thoughts on the FFluence v EMGs 81/85 on the same EC1000? I'm torn between the two but sound is too compressed in the UA-cam comparisons... I love Trivium and Metallica, so I'm a bit lost... Any guidance would help as to the tonal differences. Tx ! 🤘
Actually, Seymour Duncan Blackout active pickups sound the best but you’d probably want EMGs for the sound you like. The Fishman Fluence pickups are really thick but slightly have a darker tone.
Nice video and nasty tone! What gear or set up did you use? thanks!
The guitar was going through STL Tones Amphub on the Eddie amp (EVH 5150iii) and I only did that. I have some newer videos where I do original death metal songs using this same setup. I’m glad you liked it!
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Nice, it sounded mean! thanks for the feedback. Hell yeah, i did like it. Thanks again :)
@@maxcady5287 Anytime brother!
Have you had toggle switch problems yet ? Thanks for your upload
I’ve had this guitar now for closer to three years but I haven’t had any problems with it yet.
Mmm you been lucky I guess? My exact model as yours had pick ups cutting out mildly first day but today I had to take out switch and modify springs on the switch, I've just read loads of people have had same issues, which is not good for a brand new axe, that being said it plays beautiful and sounds epic so maybe if the problem come back then a new switch ain't too expensive, good luck brother from UK 👍🙏🐈
Hi John great video! Would you ba able to tell me is it a heavy guitar I have health issues and can’t do the heavy guitars. Also, is neck thin and does it feel flimsy? Thanks! 👍
I’ve got feels 100% solid but it is a little bit on the heavy side. I’ve used to that band practices that last for three hours sometimes and I have a bad back now and it doesn’t give me problems, but I could understand it being a bit heavy for some people compared to a Charvel guitar.
I want to hear how the cleans sound on this
I did a few but this was just the high gain stuff. I do cleans separately cuz my amp’s clean is incredible but the gain knob becomes the volume knob so it would be challenging matching volume. But honestly, cleans aren’t really going to be good using any active pickup.
Guitar noob here can the fluence pickups here can they do hard and classic rock ok I was thinking of buying this guitar for hard and classic rock and for metallic riffs
They are probably not the best for doing hard rock. I would stick with EMG pickups.
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos really I thought emgs were not as good for rock now I’m confused rip
@@robbiemendezii4194 These sound good but they’re a bit darker.
like from me

@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos you are welcome, my friend. I subscribed to your channel last week.
@@stanislav182000 Ah ok. 😂😅I’m not young anymore so I’m pretty forgetful. I really appreciate that.
I didn't dig the Fishmans set in my charvel, these sound so good though!
Maybe it has something to do with what kind of wood the body of the guitar is constructed out of because this is pure mahogany and I feel like it has a nice thick neutral tone.
What does the S stand for?
Stealth. Mostly cuz of the black on black hardware.
Can you easily change the tune of this guitar?
It’s just as easy as any other guitar. It’s definitely well worth the money but you don’t get a whole lot of highs with this. There’s a lot of dark tones, which is what I like personally.
Hei! Is the neck satine or polished?
I believe it is both. It’s painted but glossy.
Does is stay in tune well?
Yes. However, there’s a trick I have for single cut guitars. I worked at a metal shop and took some powdered graphite home. I diluted about a spoonful of it in water to make it almost like a syrup. Then I lightly applied it over the slits on the nut where the strings pass through. However, the downside is it leaves a slight grey tint there but it lubricates where the strings pass and keeps it from coming out of tune. It does have locking tuners but they’re more for faster string changes.
How does It handle low tunings?
I usually have it turned down half step. Then I’ll drop the low string down an octave and it sounds incredible.
@@johnsguitarmusicanddemos Ever tried A# or G# on it? I play a lot of death metal, so just curious
@@lukeduke798 More….
ua-cam.com/video/FQcyFeyGJ3o/v-deo.html
This is the video I made a while back that sounds really good where I tuned it down one half step and the low string is G# and it’s brutal!
Made in indonesia? Or china?
Indonesian my friend!
Great upload Sending my love and support 💕❤️👍👍
❤️🌺🎶🍷 Thank you for all your support! It means a lot to me! Just wait until you see my next video for the Halloween season! I’m going to make the rest of my videos this month Halloween-based so it’ll be fun! 🎃 🥀🍂🐈⬛
