This EC-Black Metal is a serious contender for metalheads and hard rock players. The mahogany body and those Black Winter pickups deliver a thick, aggressive tone that cuts through the mix. It’s a well-built, premium-priced instrument that's surprisingly comfortable to play thanks to the 350mm radius neck.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 'XJ' neck profile is generally a medium-thin C shape, slightly flatter than some of LTD's more vintage-inspired necks, providing good speed and comfort.
Absolutely; the Blackened Black Winter pickups handle drop tunings exceptionally well, maintaining clarity and aggression even with lower tunings.
The matte finish is stylish, but it’s less forgiving than gloss finishes; be prepared to wipe it down regularly to avoid fingerprints and potential scuffs.
