Key Features at a Glance

Advanced Multi-Voice Tonal Versatility

Powered by Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (Ceramic in the bridge, Alnico in the neck), the EC-1000 provides instant access to two distinct active pickup voices via the push/pull tone pot:

Pickup Position Voice 1 (Active Mode) Voice 2 (Push/Pull Engaged)
Bridge (Ceramic) Searing, high-output crunch with tight low end and crisp attack. Organic, modern-passive response with smooth dynamics and crunch.
Neck (Alnico) Modern active tone with a full, round character and high articulation. Crisp, fluid, and clean neck humbucker tone ideal for solos and cleans.
