10:48-10:56 Hunter: "This is the worst I've ever explained my thinking process." I speak fluent chug and completely understood what you were going for.
I started watching you when you made your review on the Ec-401QM and you had ~5,000 subscribers. I'm glad to see how far you've come and that you still love LTD single cuts!
Have had a hard time finding this in Canada. Finally found a company who would ship to me and just got it. Holy hell, this guitar is DAMN NICE. My first w SS frets, and it's pure butter. The satin on the back of the neck is also a game changer. Pretty sure the neck stayed ultra thin on the production models though. Mine is really small/thin. Luckily I like thin necks.
Congrats on getting to be the FIRST, especially since it's a single cut! Glad to see those 2021 models are kicking ass. Don't really need a new guitar, but man those are tempting!
I still keep one EC1000CTM and one EC1000FR with two MH1000FR LTD's in my collection. It's funny how they're my go to for certain songs and I bypass my Lesters. Now, I love my Lesters - but the EC LTD's are great and the EC EII's are my most played and I never take my Lesters on the road. You just can't go wrong with the 1000/1001 series LTD's! If you can save up for a EII - you won't regret that either! Great gear available without draining the GAS fund all the way! I mean you gotta have some GAS stash, especially with the Neural DSP Quad Cortex dropping! Excellent video! Keep doing the good stuff!🤘😁🤘
Hearing you go from random scratch riffs to the demo tune was pretty cool. I throw around so many riffs and get unmotivated to take them further. Now I might be a little more apt to stick out the process. Rad guitar. Will be getting one of the Evertuned models for 2021.
Some say he only eats brussel sprouts baked in a butter glaze, sliced almonds, red peppers, black pepper, fetta and parmishan cheese, with a dash of sea salt. Yet Taco Bell will do today. And he writes chugs it takes a sun gear to turn over. The man! The Legend! Der Fish!
I never commented when this video came out, but your review helped me research more into this guitar and decide to purchase my first ESP! Bought this exact guitar but in the see thru cherry because red and gold do something for me. Been a Jackson fanboy for years. No idea why I never hopped on the ESP LTD bandwagon. Thank you!
I really wish they made an EC 1000T in gloss black with white binding. I know they have a gloss black EC 1000 with white binding, but I want a thick ass one
@@PeterLeMusic I don’t want the 12 fret LTD inlay that says the model, I just want the flag inlay on the 12 fret. And also, that’s literally what this is in the video bruh ^^^
Great vid. I'm so happy ESP is fojng stainless frets. Hopefully it spreads to companies like Charvel, Ibanez, etc. A Charvel with stainless frets would be sweet because they are so playable already.
This seems like it would make a great “main” and my first real legitimate guitar. Like this could be a one and only. Only thing that might be cool to have is a 24 fret version.
Singlecut Simp Squad, stand up! Really hyped on these, about time ESP / LTD started using stainless frets. The TE-1000 in black blast with the sandblasted ash body and roasted maple neck looks super promising too.
Yeah... So... Love lp style.... Love esp/ltd/schecter single cuts.... Love tobacco burst.... Love satin.... Love Fishman fluence.... Good God almighty... Thank u sir.... I need this!!! ❤️😩
Very nice, almost bought a used EC-1000 a deluxe with ebony and flame but it had emg's... not a bad thing but wasnt looking for that, otherwise an impeccable guitar. One briefly popped up just like Agufish's EC but it actually had Seymour Duncan Jazz/ JB in the bridge and that one didn't last long. I guess them going with Fishman they saw as an upgrade over the EMG's. I actually like EMG's piano like cleans but you definitely have more options with the Fishmans for high gain.
Hunter you should consider allowing me to do vocals for your demo tracks! i think people would demand an album.. releasing a weekly demo track mix would be awesome, with the guitar featured in the track in the title, put it on spotify haha.
So if anyone should (for whatever reason) doubt the sheer goodness of stainless steel frets, that hunter describes... I can absolutely approve. I have a 200€ Ibanez GRG plek'ed and refretted with ss frets and they truly are the best. This cheap guitar now plays better than some of the custom shop models you can find out there. It's really no joke and I cannot get how anyone can not like them. The ONLY reason could be, that they do give a little more high end in your sound. But you could just roll back the tone control or the amp settings if that was really your problem... I can anyone encourage to modify their guitars if they have the money for it.

Your productivity is through the roof! Proud of my Agufish Signature Guitar! 🎸🤘
The mexican... disapproves
I guess getting sponsored by them you won't be paying for diarrhea anymore.
I had one request when mixing this, and that was for Hunter to insert the Taco Bell logo. Pleased to see he followed through 🤣
Is it actually the taco bell, used for the sample? It's fucking hilarious
@@ChiefSpartan1 Shhh 🤫 🤷🏻♂️
That shit had me dead I wasn't prepared😂
Nice to see someone ACTUALLY Pull through for the viewers for once. Well done sir.

3:58 he clearly mastered the notes in between
I'm not even at that point yet in the vid but I now know he's going to play Some Kind of Monster
damn didn't know you could play some kind of monster???!!! it must have been really hard trying to learn the notes in between.
😂 😂 😂
When listening it was the notes in between that were fucking with me.

Socks.
"lets see how this bad boy chugs"
plays Blink 182
Freakin loved this :P
nice
Absolutely phenomenal playing. That model is definitely on the list now. Love the combo of the thick body and the access heal.
That is easily one of the best looking guitars you've posted in a while. I'm a massive ESP/LTD fanboy but even still, that is gorgeous.
Some Kind of Monster, Seek, Creeping Death, Master, Fuel, an Eclipse and cool demos like always?! Great stuff man!
You missed ain't my bitch
@@kevingivens5083 And Hero of the Day and Fade To Black!
@@Metallex And One.
I am so glad someone is showing the Load and Reload era some love. Two of my favorite albums. Badass guitar, btw!
LTD is out for blood with the quality they're throwing out in 2021. Fantastic video too, sounded great and was really entertaining!

Is that 3 videos in 3 days?
Every day brings a new blessing.
who edited this? because that toilet/bell made me choke on my own spit.
hahahaha I had way too much fun with it. Jordan edits all the ASKgufish stuff, I edit all the demos!
"Alright, I just wrote a sick metal jam, now let's play some old-school pop punk riffs on this thicc boi"

Man that sounds and looks killer!!
Hell yes, Hunter! This is the sickest demo track I've heard from you. Big fan!
Crazy. I was fixing my driveway today with Metallica blasting, and yes Load and Reload included. I think those albums have aged well.
Congrats, Agu. Well deserved. 🔥
Agufish I just ordered the see thru Black Cherry EC-1000T CMT and am adding a bone nut, and having it PLEK'D. I cant FREAKING WAIT!!! OOOOOOH YEAHHHH
Clearly, the tastiest licks came from pringle! Ltd is on my list for next instrument purchase.
One box combo with a side of free chugs lol
Killer demo, dude. Really excited for LTD’s whole 2021 lineup and this is just making me even more hyped.
This is the exact guitar I want. I only discovered the flamed maple version this afternoon which lead me here. Sounds awesome!
Engl amps impart so much of their own thing, i have no idea if i like those pickups. Still cool that that demo was up that fast!!
This may be the best tone I've heard you have! Killer riffs
Not sure how I feel about the clean tones but that distortion sounds killer
The demo track bro is amazing, like your style man...
Been looking forward to this since they announced it, it's the Eclipse I've always wanted! Awesome spec for the money.
Dude that sounds and looks siiiiiiick!!!!
“Oh yes, it will be mine” lol
I have an EC-1000T CTM with emgs from a few years ago. Mine is all black, but it's easily my favorite guitar.
Killer review. Stop showing these awesome guitars you are going to make me want to buy one :-) ESP Send this man more fiddles.

I really enjoy watching you go through your writing process. It's really helpful to someone like me who struggles with it. Thanks

I dig the demo track! Never heard snything from the bans that inspires it, but your take was great!
ive just gotten my first ltd ec256 lefty because of your ec256 lemon drop video. thanks!
I've always thought there should be more "Hero of the day" out there. Nice work.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Duuuuuude you spoil me, man 😢
No prob pal. Happy to support ya!
So after fees you get like a nickel right?
4:05 that just reminds me of the video of Kirk trying to learn that riff 🤣🤣🤣😂🤘
You're a great player and very inspirational ,I look forward to seeing more esp ltds in future .and of course loadsa chugs.
I'm still EMG 81/60/89 etc at 24 volts. but those are NOT bad. I have a set of SRC fluence they're fine
That box looks perfect for stockings socks...
Btw love the content and good luck with the upcoming year :)
I thought it looked good in pictures but it looks even better on video; damn that's a gorgeous guitar
This demo track is definitely taking the #1 spot for me.
I thought they'd switched production of the 1000 series to Indonesia? Glad to see they're still being made in Korea.
I really wish they made an EC 1000T in gloss black with white binding. I know they have a gloss black EC 1000 with white binding, but I want a thick ass one
Look for a EC1000 CTM
@@PeterLeMusic I don’t want the 12 fret LTD inlay that says the model, I just want the flag inlay on the 12 fret. And also, that’s literally what this is in the video bruh ^^^
Might have to cop one myself. So thankful for that stainless fret treatment on these! Eyeing up the gold andromeda.
I love the EC 407. 25.5in scale, really nice neck, great fret access too.
Uh because you do some of the best reviews on the tube dude!
Yes! I love the Blink Tunes at the end!
I come here for your playing
All the covers in the end very fun
Dam that's one nice guitar. ESP doing some sick things, glad Pringle approves.
I need that gold/white one!
Just pre ordered mine.
It has been 36 hours since the pre order and I'm tired of waiting.
Traditional finishes always, in my opinion, seem to look amazing on guitars aimed at hard rock and metal. Can't explain it.
Props on the “Ain’t my bitch” riff
Great vid. I'm so happy ESP is fojng stainless frets. Hopefully it spreads to companies like Charvel, Ibanez, etc. A Charvel with stainless frets would be sweet because they are so playable already.
Thats a sweet guitar. I really think I may buy myself an EC-1000 this year
Gorgeous a Golden Retriever!
WE LOVE PRINGLE!!!!
i got a full thickness e-ii great guitar. The full thickness is awesome. This LTD looks great. Love the finish
Fantastic review. The thin neck kills it for me, but you gave so much useful info for prospective buyers.
I appreciate the chunkiness of the body - people say this about me all the time.
This seems like it would make a great “main” and my first real legitimate guitar. Like this could be a one and only. Only thing that might be cool to have is a 24 fret version.
My next guitar right there I believe
Prefer the E-II run Gloss with this colourway, it looks awesome
How different is this from 2022 model? I'm strongly considering the violet shadow
Your accidental key change in the lead writing actually sounded pretty sick
Singlecut Simp Squad, stand up!
Really hyped on these, about time ESP / LTD started using stainless frets.
The TE-1000 in black blast with the sandblasted ash body and roasted maple neck looks super promising too.
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻.
ESP is bringin' da heat in 2021!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is basically my ideal singlecut. holy shit.
Finally someone is paying respect to "Hero of the Day"
Awesome video brother! God bless
Socks like.... the one in Discord?
If only I were so lucky 😂
@@agufish I'm always here for you ;)

Yeah... So... Love lp style.... Love esp/ltd/schecter single cuts.... Love tobacco burst.... Love satin.... Love Fishman fluence.... Good God almighty... Thank u sir.... I need this!!! ❤️😩

Dean has some pretty good stuff this year
Very nice, almost bought a used EC-1000 a deluxe with ebony and flame but it had emg's... not a bad thing but wasnt looking for that, otherwise an impeccable guitar.

It’s notes in between that are fucking with me
Ok...pretty sure I am not the only one that will agree.....we need more bells...and their respective visual cues in the mixes!!!!
Now that's how you Christmas.
Hunter you should consider allowing me to do vocals for your demo tracks! i think people would demand an album.. releasing a weekly demo track mix would be awesome, with the guitar featured in the track in the title, put it on spotify haha.
Sounds insane!! 🤘
3:48 "I guess it's alright"XD
Not only do I appreciate your channel, but you included the importance of Taco Bell.
5 stars.
I don't get why the binding cuts off on the back... makes no sense to me. Nice axe regardless
I can't understand that either
I'm dying to receive my 256 that I ordered 5 months ago!
Cherry red flame top! I hope it comes through..
Good demo. Thanks bro

I really really want one with an actual flame maple cap!
I've wanted this guitar since they announced it, hopefully they start distributing these after namm so I can play it
I ordered one because that color is total Doritosburst.
Oh you bastard you had me dying the Taco Bell edits hahaha
