Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in bridge technology?
The EC-1000ET uses an Evertune F-model bridge that automatically corrects intonation across the fingerboard, eliminating the need for manual adjustment even during aggressive playing. The EC-1000QM uses a traditional TonePros locking TOM bridge, which requires standard setup and maintains tuning through mechanical locking.
How do the frets differ?
The EC-1000ET features 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets designed to handle extreme bending and playing techniques. The EC-1000QM uses 24 standard XJ stainless steel frets, which are suitable for most playing styles but less specialized for extreme techniques.
Which guitar has better visual appeal?
The EC-1000QM features a quilted maple top with see-thru purple sunburst finish for striking visual impact. The EC-1000ET offers bold metallic silver binding with satin black finish for a more understated, workmanlike premium appearance.
Are the pickup and control layouts the same?
Both use EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60TW-R neck pickups with coil splitting capability. The EC-1000ET provides bridge volume, neck volume, tone with push/pull, and toggle switch. The EC-1000QM uses independent volume controls for each pickup, push/pull tone, and three-way toggle switch for similar functionality with slightly different layout.
