I bought my brother in law a LTD EC-50 for Christmas. It was the best price I could get on a left handed guitar.
An no, I don't hate him...
He has 4 acoustics (2 steel, a nylon, and a 12) and plays all the time, but I want to bring out his inner rocker. I bought him a Line-6 Toneport UX-1 last year so he could record his acoustics with a mic or using the piezos, so he is already got an "amp" solution.
Anyway, back to the EC-50. The fretwork is actually surprisingly nice and once I gave the fingerboard a nice clean and oil, the rosewood isn't too shabby.
Anyways, I'm going to give it a good set up and I am going to throw a JB and Jazz in it too. (Yes Ron, I'm polishing this turd to a fine lustre.) But while I was checking it I noticed the TOM posts are really sloppy in the studs. The studs themselves are fine, its just the posts rattle around inside. Should I hit them with some teflon tape or will the pressure from the strings make movement a non-issue? I'm just concerned about tuning stability. I want this to be the best $200 guitar ever made.
