I just went out and bought myself an LTD EC-1000 Snow White in color. It has EMG 81 in the Bridge and an EMG 60 in the neck and i know EMG is not a great "tone" pickup, espacially the 81, but i do have to say it saounds pretty great. The 60 on the other hand seems to have tons of tone which surprised me. I plays great better then anything i own at the current time..and i'm up to 8 guitars now
This thing is COVERED in Abalone..not mother of pearl as everyone seems to say it is.
I Recommend trying one of these. i paid $980.00CAN which is about $4.00 US, lol. j/k

These are nice guitars and much lighter than a Les Paul. I had the Truckster, but wasn't a fan of the James Hetfield "relic'd" / "distress" look. But it did play and sound nice.

Your white model, imho, is the best looking available. If we "could" buy it for $4.00 in the U.S., we'll I'd buy all I that could afford, 2 of them!
