Thanks guys, Yes the EC1000 seem to be a very well made guitar especially for the price, with ESP locking tuners & the Seymours's standard, you don't see many bad words said about this model.... I am loving it

I sold my Gibson 60's Special Tribute SG to buy this, I just did not get along with the P90's & even though I take good care of my guitars the flexy neck on the Gibson worried me as well, it seemed rather fragile......
The best part was I sold the SG for more than I paid for it so that was a bonus
