Help me chose !

[@ToroKchannel]

Thanks to all of you for your votes ! The LTD EC-401 is ahead on your list but the Cort KX 500 or 507 is not far away. When I have ordered yesterday, the LTD EC 401 in the color I want to see and to show was no more available - delayed by 2 or 3 weeks - so I chose the cort KX-507 in Thomann 70th Anniversary edition for the next video. The LTD EC-401 will come next :)

option 3 seems interesting

[@damianp3305]

Option 1- Cort. There were too many HB recently.

[@ToroKchannel]

I didn't realize I had made that many HB reviews lately. If I go for the EC-401 I will make an in depth review of it and a second video to compare it with the SC Custom III Active. As I'm writing these words it appears that the EC-401 is ahead on the poll, but the Cort come in second position so, I will review it anyway :)

Hi Francois, I find in a great idea. Thanks for asking and going to slightly different shores (Fishman). My favor is towards the Cort KX-500 at first. But I would also love to see you reviewing the Cort KX-507 and the HB MAX Fusion. So my preferred ranking is: 1. KX-500 2. KX-507 3. HB MAX Fusion. Thanks in advance! 🙂

[@omgnerv]

I think there are plenty of people who review the big brands. there are only a few good ones reviewing and comparing Harley Benton. Also I'm interested in your high quality comparison of the HB against LTD. I'm sure you'll do a great job! I like both - HB and LTD but because of reasons I don't own a LTD yet. But do what ever floats your boat 🙂If you are interested in the other 2 speccs - go for it. I'll watch anyways. 👍

Hii! Great ideas! I think the 401 would be the most interesting, but only if you could get an ec1000 i know i know…😅because I’m really curious about this hb-ltd comparison, but in terms of quality and price range, the ec1000 can give us the real reference point, bc it’s kinda the top of the line. If it’s unfeasible, my second choice it’s the cort kx500. Thank you for the useful videos!

[@ToroKchannel]

I think I need to explain why I chose the EC-401 instead of the EC-1000. The specs on the EC-401 are very very close to the Sc Custom III active : grover tuners that are not locking tuners, EMG 81/60 that are technically close to the Tesla Active pickups, and a difference of price that already is important but not crazy. On the SC-1000 you've got stainless steel frets that are not the same as on the Harley Benton - and maybe that's worth analyzing - locking tuners and, eventhough you've still got EC-1000 with EMG 81/60, you've also got Fishman Fluence and it looks like most customers who want active pickups are going there. Not even talking about the 27 different variations you have ion the EC-1000 (finishes, pickups, evertune bridge or FR and so on) the difference of price is huge. As I'm writing this comment, the cheapest EC-1000 I could get is a B-stock EC-1000 vintage black with EMG 81/60 and I'm not even sure this one is coming with stainless steel frets cos' it's not specified. So I see your point, and maybe in time I will go for the EC-1000, but as I'm reading the comments I realize many people would like to see the EC-401.

Option 3, please.

[@fstath]

The EC-401. I'm curious to see how it compares to the more affordable HB.

[@guntotinguy16]

Can't go wrong with the LTD...

[@agostinodemarcus3617]

the fanfret cort for me, something different, HB and LTD I guess we already know what to expect

[@Axilot]

For me: 1-Cort 6 strings 2-Esp Ec-401 3-HB

[@therockvolution9597]

Option 3🤘

[@geyst666]

Cort KX500 please 🤟🏽

[@miyaaaaw]

I love this idea! Option 2 please

[@krisgarrein9632]

Cort KX-500 or 507 pickup review would be cool, thanks

[@FreddyKrueger]

LTD 401, although I would prefer a comparison with the EC 1000

Option 4: LTC EX-200 OW 🙂

[@ToroKchannel]

I'll keep this one in mind :)

[@Vashaco]

Option 4 please

[@omgnerv]

me again 😅 have you heard of SPIRA guitars? seems to be new on the market and a sister brand of JET. they make some 7strings too. maybe this is also something you would like to try / review. I couldn't find any reviews yet - since its very new on the market. I've seen them on gear4music. Of course I'm curious if they are at least as good as HB ;-)

[@ToroKchannel]

Thanks for this info, I have never heard about thiss brand. They look very young, they've got less than 40 followers on FB ! They say they're making guitars for metal players so I guess they deserve me to try one of their axes ;)

[@MD.Wildboar]

나는 친구의 Cort KX를 빌려서 쳐보았고 매우 인상 깊었다 후회는 없을것이다

[@xSTONYTARKx]

Didn't watch yet, just saw the picture. Based on looks alone, the red one.

[@morffeusdeus]

Cort

[@DmitriKononenko-n9l]

LTD, for sure.
