@@williamtaylor1433, Personally I am not a fan of PRS but I have heard good things about SE Standard from friends. I will try one out eventually.

9:45 that hole is probably from drilling the wire chanel from neck cavity to bridge cavity. 11:43 those holes are to hang the tailpiece in the chrom galvanic bath, so the visible and functional rest of the piece is completely covered in chrome.😊 The EC-256 sounds way better to my taste. More melodic and with definition.

really detailed video - thanks a lot :-)

I love my EC-256 and it's pickups compared to the other guitar. The EC-10 it's good if you just a Metalhead Shredder but the 256 is more versatile.

true. i had a 256 for a few days but didnt like the pickups for metal. they sounded fuzzy and hollow with high gain. but they sounded good clean, and the coil tapping was really nice for playing clean.

@@waynepurcell6058 I actually just picked up another 256 to compliment my 401 with EMGs. This one's a b stock so I got it for 300, just a couple minor flaws in the polyurethane from what I can tell.

What do you think about the LTD V-50 with LH-150 pickups? Is it a worthy option in our time?

i had a 256 for a few days with some bad fret issues and a cobalt blue finish that looks more like seafoam green. returned it for a 401. aside from the issues though i didnt feel like the guitar was worth 600 dollars and i would have been better off with the ec-10. i ended up going with a 401 that was on sale and am happy with it, korean made and emg pickups.

I just got this guitar. I’m intrigued by your advice of doing proper setup first. Can you give me some pointers how to go about it? Only thing I know is using adjustable rod to adjust string height on the fretboard.

@GeorgeVGuitars

Жыл бұрын

Радвам се, че ти харесва. Към какво клониш, повече ритъм или сола? EC-10 е една идея по-удобна за сола с 24-те прага и по-тънък гриф. Екото е класическата лес пол формула с 22 прага и сет нек. Най-добрият вариант е да дойдеш при мен в Мюзик Дивижън ако си от София и да видя, с кое се справяш по-естествено.

I’m currently looking to buy the EC10 but I’m also conflicted between the 256 and the EC10. This video is also helpful, I sort of consider myself a beginner but not really? I have played the acoustic on and off for about 20 years but I don’t really know any songs completely? I learn bits and then learn another song. I can play Under the Bridge, Plug in Baby by Muse. I guess what I’m asking, as someone who isn’t a complete beginner but new to electrics, would I be better getting the 256?

@GeorgeVGuitars

Absolutely, go for the 256 if you have played for that long. Speaking of Muse, not exactly related to the band but still in the 256 budget, check these out, amazing guitars! Epiphone Muse: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e355pZWQos_Lk8o.html

Stop using pedals to sell a simple guitar.

@GeorgeVGuitars

Жыл бұрын

Stop using what? 👀

ec-10 sounds and looks like a pice of shit, it's not even worth 300 bucks. ec-256 obviously better in every aspect, BUT if you have 600$ - you can buy used ec-1000 (DELUXE), and it will be an investment, nobody is interested in cheap shit, so the EC-10\256 will become cheaper, which cannot be said about the deluxe. I say this as someone who once had an LTD F-50, sold this pice of trash, and bought an EC-1000 vintage black EMG 2012, one year ago. Buying the 10th series of LTD guitars - you pay for the garbage that says LTD. Buying 256 series - you get something like a quality instrument, but still pay a huge sum for the brand. And when you buy guitars of the 1000s series, you buy a really high-quality, professional instrument, on which you can learn to play, record, and go on tours. Such a guitar is a guitar on all your life, it does not have to be new from the store, used guitars are the most rational choice.
