LTD @ Davis GMC

If there's a no-nonsense LTD Eclipse model to recommend, I'd urge you to check out the Deluxe version. These are identifiable by the model number which are 4 digits. The Deluxes are in fact LTD's top-of-the-line model before things cross over to the E-II range. Prices are getting out of hand very quickly but in my personal opinion, it's still worth the price-to-performance consideration. Here are some featured models which are in stock now at Davis GMC. Folks, the model you see above is the 1000T in a satin finish ($1,880).

The instrument is unfinished at the rear as well so you get that wooden vibe all round, clear of any synthetic colouring. Pickups are the Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic.

If weight is a concern, then this chambered body EC-1000T CTM might be your thing. As such, it lists for a little more than the non-chambered version ($1,980).

For those of us in need of a quick pseudo-acoustic fix can consider the EC-1000 Piezo model ($1,980). This one comes with a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers (JB / '59).
