EMG pickup eminence

Are you ready for some ferocious growl? Powered by a pair of high output EMG Pickups the EC-401 unleashes a relentless ream of rock. The vaunted EMG 81 pickup is one of the most popular humbuckers out there for its incredible high end cut and fluid sustain. The powerful ceramic magnets contained in the pickup award you maximum force in your tone, giving your licks serious definition and tons of presence.

Paired with the formidable 81 is the EMG 60 at the neck position. Sonically strong and also high in output, the 60 focuses on emitting thick, boosted mids that give tremendous depth to low end notes. The creamy, mellower textures you can obtain with this glorious pickup make it suited to single note solos, rhythmic chords and bluesy drawls. The EMG 81 and 60 duet is such commanding combo, you're going to have endless fun exploring their potential.

Hard wearing hardware

Modern, cutting edge and reliable. The hardware of the EC-401 includes a Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Grover Tuners for efficient and stable performance. Offering excellent levels of sustain and stability, the Tune-O-Matic bridge allows you to make intricate adjustments to your intonation. Meanwhile, Grover tuners are the pinnacle of reliability and keep tuning solid all night.

3-Piece Mahogany neck paired with rosewood fingerboard

The 3-piece mahogany neck is sturdy, and more resilient to warping than the classic 1-piece neck. Mahogany as a neck tonewood is durable and offers a full and long-lasting guitar neck. The mahogany and rosewood coupling offers complex highs, warm lows and an overall beautifully soft and mellow tone.

Comfortable & attractive design

The classic EC body shape features a single cutaway, which offers easy access to the higher frets and extra comfort. The guitar's body is crafted from mahogany, which provides a rich and resonant tone, ideal for punchy rock music. The guitar is finished in Olympic white with statement binding for a classy and sleek appearance.
