Will get pics up shortly 
£450
Currently strung with 11s and it's a beast, don't expect subtle with this, it isn't subtle. Wasn't going to sell it as it's pretty damn cool, but I have found something I have never seen before that is pretty similar.

strange how the pics are showing on Windows but not on iphone

I've got the EC-401 which is very similar but has a lower spec. Just wanted to say how stunning the build quality is on these guitars and how comfortable they are to play. I've got the same pickups which sound incredible and all round it's one of the best quality guitars I've ever owned.

Have a Bump Mike and GLWTS.

Cheers @Alnico ;
its a great guitar, its LOUD and pretty full on, but what i have my eyes on also has EMG 60/81s. 
tbh its better than any of the lower end Gibson Les Pauls i have owned

The Gibsons I owned were a 1990 'Studio', a 1960 Reissue 'Classic' and a 'Standard' but that was back in '98 so I can't really compare them because I can barely remember last week.
I do however know that I wouldn't swap my LTD for ANY Gibson now, I've really bonded with it and did from the moment I picked it up.
I still can't believe how good the fit and finish is on these guitars for the money.
At the price you've got yours up for it's even more of a bargain.
That '60' is the best EMG neck pickup I've used so far. I would normally put an 81 in the neck for it's "Bite" but the 60 is just way more sophisticated in that position.

Cheers @Alnico ;;;
you are  selling it for me :-) 

Alnico

*whispers*.......That was the idea Sherlock !!


Anyway, I just want to see you get back on the Baby Dean I know you loved so much !
I'm sure @Bridgehouse wants that for you just as much. 
That's what friends do for each other. .......eh?

LOL. 

mikeyrob73

Baby Deans not so easy to find these days @Alnico ;
expect the price to rocket and @Bridgehouse to apologise for all his jibes 

Alnico

It was meant in good faith and good humour.

Yeah I should have seen that.As I keep telling people, I never said I was clever !

To be fair neither does my sense of humour sometimes but I'd never intentionally make fun of someone in a bad way. I heard all about your experiences with the BD and I guess it's been a long day with not much sleep, I should have done that via PM really.
My Bad.

Least you've had a few bumps eh?

mikeyrob73

No worries @alnico I have a thick skin and a warped sense of humour at times

Withdrawn, I can't do I think I would struggle to get a better guitar even spending the £1k I was looking at spending by selling this and the jaguar
