Description

The EastCoast HM1 is an entry level guitar built for rock and metal. Featuring high-output humbucker pickups that produce a punchy, articulate, and fat sound perfect for heavier styles of playing. The slim tapered neck carve and medium jumbo frets enable you to swiftly move up and down the fretboard with ease, with a Rosewood fretboard giving you a warm tonal resonance that feels luxurious under your fingers.Set Up & Checked by AndertonsEvery EastCoast guitar and bass is individually inspected, set up and play-tested by our experienced Quality Control team before it leaves us. We check everything from the instrument’s finish and hardware to the action, intonation, neck relief, electronics where applicable, and overall playability, making adjustments where needed to ensure it meets our standards. So whether you’re buying your first instrument or choosing an EastCoast bundle, you can be confident the guitar or bass at the heart of it has been properly checked and is ready to play.Key Features Poplar Body — Provides a tight and balanced sound. Poplar is also light, making the HM1 ideal for beginners who want to practice in a standing position without feeling strain on their shoulders. Maple Neck — The HM1’s neck is very comfortable to play and is made from Maple, which gives the guitar a bright and “snappy” sound. It comes fitted with big frets which make it easy to fret notes cleanly and accurately. Rosewood Fingerboard — A stunning material typically used on mid-priced and high-end guitars. It’s very silky and adds warmth to the HM1’s overall tone. Humbucking Pickups — These are the magnetic parts of the guitar that take the vibrations of the strings and direct their sound into an amp. The ‘humbuckers’ in the HM1 produce a powerful tone, suited for both rhythm and lead guitar playing. Volume & Tone Controls — The two dials on the right hand side of the body let you change the tone and volume of the pickups, so you can experiment with their sounds. You’ll never get bored of what the HM1 has to offer! Dual Fulcrum Tremolo — This type of guitar bridge allows you to use a ‘whammy bar’ to manipulate the pitch of the strings, from subtle to chaotic!
