They play fast, at least the EC series. Had to knock down the sticky clear coat on my ec-1000 to make it not stick when my hands sweat. Taking that top layer on the back of the neck down to a satin with some steel wool (fine) makes it feel smoother, imho. I wouldn't do it to my Eclipse II though

To be perfectly honest, it might be my favorite guitar to play. Just don't tell my Les Pauls that.

EMG's arent the best feature on them, you may want to swap those out

The EMG's are effective for certain sounds for sure, however RWND has made many posts talking about his obession to get the EVH/RR tone and EMG's aren't the best pickups to achieve that particular sound.

WHAT POST ABOUT EVH TONE
i wanted to see if anybody on this form could point me to replica t tops pickups so i could get a simular tone that randy had in the 70s and 80s

i just like the EMG tone it has nothing to do with randys or EVHs tone

Sorry, I thought I had read a post where you wanted EVH tone. I just said that you were at one time talking of how you wanted a RR tone so I just said that if you want that tone you won't get it with EMG's. If you want EMG tone then go ahead but it wont be Randy tone and theres nothing wrong with not having Randy tone, however you had said that you wanted Randy tone, so thats why I said what I did
