ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone Electric Guitar – Charcoal Metallic Satin | 27" Baritone Scale, Set-Thru Mahogany Construction | Fishman Fluence Modern Pickups, Macassar Ebony Fingerboard & Stainless Steel Frets

Description:

Extended Range. Uncompromised Tension. Dark, Minimalist Design.

The ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone is the extended range guitar you've always wanted, delivering the iconic single-cutaway Eclipse shape in a 27" baritone scale. Typically tuned a fourth below standard, from B to B, this six-string guitar lets you explore the downtuned sounds of modern rock and metal while still maintaining ideal string tension—ensuring tight, articulate low-end response without the flabbiness often associated with down-tuning.

Its darkly minimalist design pairs the look of a Charcoal Metallic Satin finish with black single-ply binding and a Macassar ebony fingerboard with no inlays…except for the glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots, providing excellent visibility on dark stages. Built with set-thru construction, the mahogany body with maple cap and three-piece mahogany neck provide exceptional sustain, resonance, and effortless upper-fret access. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 350mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets offers a smooth, fast playing surface built to withstand aggressive riffing and fluid lead work.

Loaded with a set of direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups—alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—the EC-1000 Baritone delivers unparalleled tonal versatility. With a push-pull control on the tone pot to select voicings, you can unlock a vast palette of tones at your fingertips. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body and LTD locking tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, sustain, and quick string changes.
