Not the best choice at the price
I bought my EC-407 last year.
During next 3 month after purchase i changed frets and electronics.
Stock fret work was awful, high e and b strings didn't sound a on 5th, 7th and 16th frets. 1 month after, three-way switch broke down. Bridge position didn't work. After 1 month more, bridge volume capacitor broke down. So a changed both frets and electronic and now works. Nevertheless the guitar itself is comfortable, stock pickups are quite good. There is a little neck diving but not in critical way. It's comfortable to play standing. So the guitar is not bad, it looks cool, it sounds good, but i'd recomend to check it carefully before purchase. And of course, maybe i was a little out of luck, and other EC-407 don't have the problems i mentioned.

The guitar looks and feels great but I can't review the sound before a proper set-up. Unfortunately it's unplayable when straight out of the box. I've never played a guitar with so much fret buzz before. The first 2-3 frets make no sound at all, and the first 7-9 frets have a huge amount of fret buzz (I think some frets are a bit popped out). Also the intonation is a mess but this is something I can fix my self. I bought this from Thomann because it was cheaper from my local shop, but now I'll spend these money on a luthier. Other than that it arrived fast, well packaged, with no sign of damage.
I will edit this review after the set-up.
