The EC-201FT Black belongs to the family of modern single cuts in the "Les Paul" format. Its recipe combines contemporary ergonomics, black hardware, and minimalist electronics designed to get straight to the point. It targets those who want style, tuning stability, and the versatility of a coil-split without getting lost in a multitude of controls.
Ideal for beginner to intermediate guitarists, the EC-201FT shines in rock, hard rock, punk, and metal, while also being more restrained for blues rock or pop-rock thanks to the humbucker split. Its comfortable scale length and glued neck ensure an immediate feel, comfortable in both rhythm and lead playing.
The LH-150 humbucker in the bridge position delivers a robust tone, with firm mids and a clear attack, perfect for saturated riffs and singing leads. The push/pull "split" turns the pickup into a single coil for a snappier, airier tone, ideal for crunch or clean sounds. The mahogany set (body + glued neck) enhances sustain and warmth, while the Tune-o-Matic bridge provides precision, dynamics, and stability.
To get the best out of this guitar: nickel electric string set 10-46 (compatible with 6 strings), standard strap with strap locks, clip-on tuner, quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable. These accessories are universally compatible with this format.
