Hey guys/gale

Just picked up a 412ce. Outstanding condition. It has an ES2 gen one in it. Any suggestions as to best EQ for the best sound? Let me know

Thanks

Set your amp or mixer channel flat for highs and lows and your mids at below flat (about 9:00 position or 25%). Start with the high and low control on the guitar at flat (the detent) and adjust as needed. I like to bump the low just a bit and cut the high just a bit, but your situation and experience may vary. The ES2 does not want or need to be over eq'd. Keep it simple and enjoy the nice tone.

+1 on your advice for both the ES1.2 and ES2.
