LTD 2022 - Singles

I'm still looking through the LTD 2022 releases. Nothing 'new' just some interesting iterations. This year, they have entry level, single pickup models. In fact, they have a few, beginning with this EC-201...

... the Explorer-esque EX-201. That's right - reverse headstock ...

... the super shred-friendly M-201HT ...

... & the TE-201 (I still don't fancy that headstock). Each guitar is finished in black from one end to the other & feature 24 frets. These are simple, utilitarian guitar with a no-frills one pickup performance. You either embrace the limitations or move on with other models with more pickups on board. 

Single pickup guitars, well, they are risky business. You either have a local fan-base for them & enjoy good sale or you don't. Judging by these releases, the implication here is that the single pickup models, across the board, are doing well. No point making more of these if they don't bring in the money. I look forward to see these here at Davis GMC but it might take a while. These are affordable models & I sincerely hope the current shipping charges won't drive prices up excessively like they did to the PRS & Edwards guitars.
