[drey138]

I'm debating between gloss black and vintage black, can't make up my mind.

vintage black.

[NevermoreMan90]

The vintage black is awesome. It looks the same as it does in the picture in person. Its the same shade.

[N3rdAl3rt]

snow white

[Shreddy]

There's thousands of 'em on the interwebz. I remember finding them when i wanted it.

[D-EJ915]

VB or VHB (the satin ones) they just feel better than the glossy ones.

[FakeAssNikes]

VB no doubt. I can't stand abalone.

[Shreddy]

+1 ...white binding ftw!

[Demon Child]

well the satin finish will wear off and the gloss finish wont...so..up to you.
i like the feel of satin more so that's what i'd go for.
my old EC-500S felt nice but it started wearing off after a month, before i sold it.

[DUKE]

VB no doubt. I can't stand abalone.

yeah, that black on an EC doesn't mix well with abalone.

[ShreddyMcFunTits]

Hold on to your cash for a little wile and get the blue flame one.

[Shreddy]

+1-1...

Green flame ftw

[Fade To Black 1985]

Vintage Black (got one)!

[drey138]

^^^ POST PICS!

does the satin finish really wear off? lame.

[Fade To Black 1985]

I've got no problem with the satin (yet)!

[TWS]

Yes, it's not lame, have you ever seen an old strat? It gives the guitar character.

[nickwiggityBUHeh]

Go for the Satin.

[XbrockX]

The satin finish rubs off into a gloss finish after a single tour.
Get the Gloss, classic looking.

[Thrashman]

I'd personally take the vintage black one, since it looks better..

Also, the abalone on the fretboard has a tendency to flake after some time.

[JeanPaul du Vinnie]

I absolutely love the blue ones and really like the green ones. Good move from LTD.

Next step is to ditch the horrible abalone bling. Who ever came up with that? If it didn't have that and just some natural or white binding on the body, I just might've saved up a little bit more before going for the ec-400.

[Total Eclipse]

^ I dunno. I think the abalone actually looks pretty good on the blue EC!

[shred-hed]

The new See-Through Green looks really cool imo.

[asbloodrunsblack]

see thru green , or see thru blue

[the run away]

http://www.espguitars.com/images/guitars/ec-1000_SW.jpgi personaly enjoi the snow white

[TREVA]

[sandman29]

[val]

Vintage black (gold binding/hardware) or see-thru black cherry with flame top

[Casey K]

[takesnogutz666]

[DixSerina]

See-thru blue most definitly. The vintage black is a close second.

[Rex Rocker]

whichever ones don't have abalone! :)

VBK and VHB if I'm not mistaken...

[Jagw]

Looking to buy the STB one the second it hits the shops in the UK. Anyone got any idea of when this might be?

[haha]

just a question: is the only difference between the 500-series and the 1000-series the fancier finishes in the higher one?

[haha]

btw, vintage black!!

[Christah]

just a question: is the only difference between the 500-series and the 1000-series the fancier finishes in the higher one?

You get Schaller locking tunas & a tone-pros bridge on the 1000's. I think that's everything.

[audiophil]

The VB one. I bought my in the USA because the Vintage Black one in Germany hast the abalone stripes like the black ec 1000 and abalone just looks good as the inlays.
The guitar is awesome.

[ShreddyMcFunTits]

because the finish hasn't been posted yet.

See-Thru Black Cherry

[ECFreak006]

thats an absolute amazing looking guitar...fucking gorgeous

[InVinoVeritasXXX]

Blue or green, definitely.

[yngmab]

definitely you shoul choose the satin black, it has ebony fingerboard the others have rosewood an it also look great, of course a lot diferent from the usual glossy guitars but its fucking sweet, y have one and its awesome, the only bad thing y see on it is that the gold hardware wears out on the bridge, and i have read some peopl says that it also does on the knobs but i use them A LOT and they are fine so maybe its just with some guitars, you can put it some hind of spry to protect them so the wont loose the color but well i think any of those guitars are amazing

My EC-1000VHB slays any other EC-1K out there i feel:
