LTD EC-10 The ONLY Guitar a Beginner needs

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

I bought one of these online and it arrived yesterday. After unboxing it and looking it over and handling it in person, I am quite impressed so far with just how well built and put together it is. It does not "feel" like a $179 guitar at all. Might be one of the best guitars in this price range. I used to have a Dean Vendetta XM years ago and the quality of this is miles ahead of that.

[@aliparvin-ui7df]

Its the first time i see you guys and i'm gonna keep watching you for a lifetime , thank you for being such spiritual✌️

[@johnkren2636]

I got one of these in the mail yesterday, and normally I have to set them up, but with this one, all I had to do is set the action and hit the ground running! One of the better guitars I've played, and I've been at it for almost 20 years.

[@elderberry-hamster]

Wow, you guys took that budget guitar and made it sound like a premium instrument. Very enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you so much.

[@IRISHguitarist777]

Thank you Ross! It's crazy quality for the dough!

I'm taking up guitar again in my early 50s. Channel content like what Phil and yourself provide gives me the inspiration to finally become a guitarist and have some fun!! Cheers!

[@Sub-zero1123]

I was lucky, I got full matte black, I mean back of the neck as well. I think that was a limited edition, don't think they make it anymore. All the rest is like in the video, shiny black and back neck is natural finish. I changed the bridge and tuners black as well and look so cool now. Like LTD Black Metal guitars. You can tell someone I bought it for $500 and they will believe you. The sound as well. For the price, this is the best. I bought a new one for $150.

[@aussiephildan440]

Well done Sir. A bargain indeed

[@Mayzek]

liked this video so much that i've probably watched it about 11 times now & I'm thinking about buying this guitar or the LTD EC-401qm... i can afford either guitar but I'm not sure which one to get... haven't played for 8 years so I'm basically a total beginner again... do you think the EC-401qm with EMG active pickups would have better sustain? & would it be worth the extra $520??

[@aussiephildan440]

Cheers Mayzek. The active emgs will definitely give you great sustain. The feel of a more expensive guitar might help to keep you motivated. Hopefully you can play them side by side and choose the right one for you.

[@Mayzek]

@@aussiephildan440 thanks :)

[@IRISHguitarist777]

Hi Mayzek,l can absolutely guarantee that if you go into the 400+ series you are looking at serious quality,1000 series of course is the best then 600 series ( usually for signature models) 400 is the last of the pro quality ,once you go to 350 or lower you will see a slight drop in quality and Country of Manufacture will go from Korea to Indonesia and when you hit 200 you can be sure it will be Vietnam and finally China but LTD is an incredible company for quality even with a limited budget. I have 15 of them now so l really do love the LTD guitars!

[@RenanMartinezA]

LTD EC 10 - ( ECLIPSE ) -🎸 one of the best price - quality guitar ever, with another LTD in the List, the legendary LTD Viper 10 🎸 by the way give please a Ec 10 to the short hair cut guy 🤓

[@weedyguitarstudio1715]

I have a blue one in Lefty and I have a lot of nice guitars but this one is great for the price nice tone!!

[@njgaming427]

Should i get the Ltd EC-10 or the Ltd Viper-10 for a beginner guitar?

[@aussiephildan440]

Depends on what style you prefer. Both will be fine

[@njgaming427]

@@aussiephildan440 Thanks for the quick reply . Well I am interested in learning classic rock , hard , psychedelic , prog and punk rock. Not so much blues and metal .After giving it some thought I believe that I should go for the Ec -10. Is that a good choice or should I choose the viper 10?(or something else , my budget is 200€). Thanks a lot.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

@@njgaming427 the only difference between the two is the body shape. Everything else is pretty much the same. So it depends which look you prefer.

[@IRISHguitarist777]

Hi NJ! Dan here,sorry,just saw this now. If you watch our new video,l literally got a Viper just yesterday and absolutely love the shape! Vipers basically are LTD's version of the SG and the EC is the Les Paul so it's all down to taste and what you like in a guitar shape but either are guaranteed to ROCK!!!!

[@Bu7asoOon]

With such awesome skills any guitar would sound amazing. But if Dan approves, then that's what I'm gonna get 👍🏼

[@mylogify]

Hi guys, just own a EC-256 as my first guitar, I am just curious, I am using an app. called Yousician, it teaches through tabs, is it wrong? I want to play like you guys one day, and should I learn with notes? What would you advise? Cheers.

[@IRISHguitarist777]

Hi Mylo,Dan here again,i've seen Yousician and it looks very clever. I guess the best way to learn is to take every level of guitar study step by step. Learn basic chords Maj/min then more advanced 7th maj/min chords,then 9ths,11ths,13ths then play chord progressions. Then learn lead scales, Single string work,always clean playing,kill any buzzing notes etc. Learn maj/min scales and be able to play them all over the neck,listen to backing tracks and jamm along to them. Also there are thousands of beginning guitar videos on YT to watch. Heres a few tips on a video we did for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH3GfaFsgNRgedU hope that helped,above all just keep playing as much as you can,you WILL PROGRESS. Good luck man! From AP&D.

[@IRISHguitarist777]

P.s. the LTD EC-256s are amazing guitars,beautifully made and pure quality for the price! We love em.

[@kohZeei]

i know you said that you thought sg's were to unbalanced or something, but putting that aside would a sg g310 be of more quality than this ec-10?

[@aussiephildan440]

I could not tell you. Best thing to do is try both and see what you prefer. I have not played a epiphone g310. They look like similar build quality being both bolt on necks.it depends which neck profile you prefer which pickups you prefer and overall how the guitar feels to play. I hope you find the right guitar for you

[@kohZeei]

@@aussiephildan440 For me the most important thing is how durable the frets are so that I don't have to get those replaced every two years. But I guess I would have to pay a lot more for such a guitar?

[@kohZeei]

Or are all frets made out the same material?

[@unforg1v3n]

Would you suggest this one, a Washburn X-33B, a Washburn X-30B (if you have any experience with them) or a JS22 Dinky for a beginner? The Washburns' are on sale for more than 50% and they're around the same price as the others or even cheaper. I've been thinking about what to buy for 2 days straight and I'm still not sure what to do. I researched the hell out of Floyd Rose's because I liked the Washburn X-40 the most which was also more than 50% off, before deciding it'd be too much of a hassle for a beginner like myself in case something went wrong. I just can't find much info or reviews on the Washburns and I was wondering whether their original retail price being close to €400 has anything to do with them having better quality parts than the guitars at the €200 range. Is a Tune-o-matic bridge better than having a tremolo (like the JS22 Dinky) in terms of tuning ease and/or staying in tune?

[@aussiephildan440]

I have no experience with the Washburn or the dinky. Hopefully you can try before you buy. A tun a magic style bridge will always be more stable then a tremolo style bridge and usually better for beginners as if you put slight pressure on a tremolo style bridge the guitar will be out of tune. Good luck

[@Kurdtgerardo]

Im getting this guitar and replacing the pickups for an emg's 81/85 and playing with a Boss katana 50 mkii. What do you think? Its a good guitar to get the best of those emg's?
