This is the EC [A]-1000, [C] it's a single cut that's part [G] of LTD's Korean made Deluxe [E] series.
It's a great rock and metal guitar that we've looked at a couple of times before within the pages of Guitarist Magazine,
but what makes this brand new version very interesting indeed is its bridge.
It's loaded with an ingenious Evertune F bridge.
It's something that's designed to once and for all get rid of this very familiar experience.
So, how does it work?
Well, we go into some detail within the pages of the July issue of Guitarist Magazine, but for now here's a quick [Em] overview.
The concept is based on the system keeping perfect balance of tension between the strings and the springs.
The saddles move forward when the string is bent.
When the string is released, the spring of that saddle pulls the string back into pitch.
And that's it pretty much in a nutshell.
You can adjust the string height and, very importantly here, the intonation,
with two rows of screws that are set into the aluminium bridge itself.
Break out a 2.5mm allen key and away you go.
You can see that the array is fairly substantial and somewhere in there is also a dampening system that negates any spring rattle.
It's clever stuff.
Still, all that means nothing if the Evertune doesn't actually do what it so boldly proclaims.
Can it really mean that your guitar will never ever go out of tune again?
Well, indulge us as we undertake a simple test.
We'll abuse the very strings off the EC with a series of stupidly huge bends,
then we'll check the resultant tuning and then do the same with a Gibson Les Paul Standard.
Both guitars are strung with D'Addario 10-46 strings and here we go.

Hopefully you'll agree that that's a pretty impressive test.
And although we must say that the [Eb] EC did need a tuning tweak after a couple of days of hard reviewing,
we're pretty much sold on the Evertune.
