I'm calling it now. If you stick around and continue to refine your content and video quality, you'll be among the top guitar KZbinrs. It took Fluff years to develop this kind of on-camera charisma. Well done, dude!

[@DenDenBMX]

aw shucks, I really appreciate that man, thanks for watching!

[@Rockandrollaz-d8l]

Totally agree. I subbed immediately. Your funny and super charismatic. Keep it up. You’ll hit a million.

[@burtosu86guitar]

This one is good 🤘🤘🤘

[@johnanon3081]

Can you perhaps put out a video on any upgrades that you'd make to these LTD series guitars? Things you might upgrade first..... like pickups, tuners, nut, bridge, electronics?

[@avalon6015]

I have been saving up for a long time to get a guitar I can gig with now that my band has some shows regularly. Had my eyes on a couple of epis that launched recently cuz I always dreamed of owning a LP custom but Im still in college so no budget for that just yet. But after a couple of days of research, gotta say LTD is way above their league in this range. I need to have that EC1000T, It just looks and sounds so much better than pretty much every other single cut that I have seen near and even slightly above that price point, went to a local shop to try one out and fell in love instantly. Great content man, thanks a lot for the tone demos, helped me a ton

[@DenDenBMX]

glad this helped you man, thanks for watching!!

[@xtakerux]

my subwoofer approves that the 1000T CTM got some extra low frequencies

[@DenDenBMX]

aw hell yeah! thanks for watching!

[@grim2710]

I desperately want an Ec1000! 💔 Love your videos and your guitars

[@DenDenBMX]

I hope one arrives to you in your future! thanks for watching!

[@Prophet_-vt2op]

Never thought I'd watch a video for a EC 1000 review and hear usher. Rock on dude

[@DenDenBMX]

haha I love that solo, thanks for watching!

[@Blueesteel_]

Good vid man you earned a sub 👍🤘

[@DenDenBMX]

Aye thank you so much for the support man, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bretthead3268]

just got the LTD EC-1000t CTM..Can't put it down..But after hearing how badass you play!. Im ready to hurl it out the window!..lol

[@DenDenBMX]

im glad to hear you love yours dude! and that's very flattering thank you! been practicing for a long time!

[@mishswb4950]

I have the ESP EC 1000 Black Cherry. Doesn't have a single coil tap annoyingly. But it still rocks and is awesome. It was between that and Gold Andromeda for me and I chose the solid colour version.

[@DenDenBMX]

Aw hell yeah, I love the andromeda ECs, glad to hear you enjoy yours as well, thanks for watching!

[@honzak2]

Thank you, that’s exactly the comparison I was looking for. I know the pickups are different but do you feel any difference in resonance/tone/sustain caused by the thicker/slimmer design?

[@DenDenBMX]

not really to be honest, all 3 of my ec-1000s sound great and loud acoustically and all have great sustain

[@honzak2]

@@DenDenBMX Thanks! I'm glad to hear that

[@daz97]

That voicing 3 is stunning imo

[@DenDenBMX]

duuuuuuude I love the single coil voicing, now I don't need to get a strat lol

[@staffa74650]

Thank you ! Very Good video. Have you tried seymour Duncan Sentient & pegasus on a LTD ec 1000 ?

[@DenDenBMX]

I have not, now that I think about it I don't think I've played very many Seymour Duncan pickups besides the black winter that came in my reaper

[@fordhammie]

Mann ESP made the right guitars with the 1000's and my newly aquired EC401QM with active EMGs 😎 Hands down a better rig than the Les Paul I had and with a volute, the ESP rules the schools! Annd, the EC naming comvention makes sense 😂

[@DenDenBMX]

I know it makes sense if you know guitar stuff but for the normal person I can see how overwhelming all those numbers and acronyms are haha, but yeah ESP is king!

[@popescusergiu469]

Hi man, great video. Is the standard position the "hot rodded" mode? It always confuses me. Thanks in advance!

[@DenDenBMX]

So on the open core classics normally the main voicing is the PAF sound and voicing 2 is the hot rodded one and voicing 3 is single coil, but esp ltd wires their guitars to have the main voicing be the hot rodded voice

[@popescusergiu469]

@@DenDenBMX thanks for the response!

[@justinp9170]

I'm not nearly as good of a player, but I really want a EC-1000S. Both of these sound just as good though lol

[@DenDenBMX]

As long as it's an ec-1000 you cant go wrong, thanks for watching!

[@hellraiser361]

0:15 hey mate what about comfort comparison? Does Ruth have no belly cut and such and how’s the weight compare too?

[@DenDenBMX]

I'm used to the traditional les paul shape so both are equally comfy to me, Ruth does not have a belly cut and is full thickness so i'd say most people would think Verionica is more comfortable with the thinner body and belly cut, Veronica is lighter but not by much

[@72911e]

I like the sound of veronica a bit more...but she sound alot like tone 1 and 2...enough that I could live with 1 ec 1000. Tone 3 is different but my telecaster has all that covered....tone 3 is cool in this vid give how diff it is. Awesome. Really enjoyed it. I am looking at a 2010 black ec 1000. I think glossy tho I would prefer matte maybe.

[@DenDenBMX]

the cool thing about ltd is a lot of their glossy guitars still have the satin neck, thanks for watching!

[@bravenewbat1853]

Not gonna lie, my wife left two years ago- and I busted out laughing when you said that😂 it was hilarious

[@DenDenBMX]

Oop😂 well I'm glad you enjoyed my dude! The best breakup advice I've ever heard came from my mom and she said: "she wasn't your first and she won't be your last"

[@LS67NOVA]

Isn't the CTM chambered and the 1000 soiid?

[@DenDenBMX]

jyes

[@rongarza1974]

I am interested in the EC-1000, but concerned that the 24 frets will feel too cramped past the 15th fret or so?! Been trying to find one to demo around my area.

[@DenDenBMX]

I personally have not had that issue but yeah I'd recommend trying one yourself to be sure!

[@barsalbayrak841]

How can you get such scary sound with Gojira plugin? I use it too, it's like album sound. You should change the cabin.

[@DenDenBMX]

Gojira is the scariest sounding plug-in that's why I love it! I just wasn't using Joe Duplantier's presets in this video that's why it sounds different

[@martinlahaie6012]

Plugins...?

[@DenDenBMX]

yeah i'm not plugged into a traditional amp, I plug my guitar into my audio interface on my computer and use amps on my computer called plugins

[@TimothyBliss11]

Boy That Chair Takes a Beating. (,)

[@DenDenBMX]

it has been farted on SO many times

[@dannyhatfield7259]

Pretty good demo bro 👍🏻

[@DenDenBMX]

thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it!

[@CNYKnifeNut]

Which ESP LTD should I EDC?

[@DenDenBMX]

the ESP LTD EC-1000 is the perfect ESP LTD to EDC to prevent you from getting an STD during SDCC on Y2K IMO, TTYL

[@gt_bk]

Guitar alone, CTM sounds better but mixed with drums and bass, EC-1000 would be nicer

[@DenDenBMX]

Interesting take! Thanks for watching!

[@Md1982IT]

😘

[@DenDenBMX]

🥰🥰🥰

[@ExoTheEmo]

You look like a lesbian. Great video bro 👍🏿

[@DenDenBMX]

Well I am attracted to women🤷‍♀️
