Hey all,
I was looking to buy one of the baritone E-IIs but they're currently on backorder until January. So in the meantime, as GAS will do... I am looking at the cheaper SC LTD models.
I have some ESPs and have had them in the past and I also had an LTD AL-600 that was really nice but frankly years away from coming even close to the quality of my SV Standard.
Since I had the time I started comparing pictures of the black EII with the black version of the SC and the build quality looks soooo close in un retouched photos. I know there must be a difference in quality but are those signature models somehow build to a higher spec than I remember? In comparison, the green sparkle and black LTDs actually look more exciting/polished than the EIIs. So much that I am actually considering going with one of those.
Does anybody here have both and would like to share their experience with both? I know the price difference is obvious and so must be the quality but it seems like the LTD is punching high enough to be a strong contender, especially with the Fishman set installed from the factory, even though I am totally fine with the EMGs in the EII and actually like the pickup layout on that way better.
I have seen the LTDs go for really low prices locally so might be worth a try.
Thanks for the info. Happy holiday's y'all.
