Description:

A Modern Classic. Elite Performance. Unmistakable Style.

Designed for professional guitar players who require the versatile tones, smooth playability, and complete reliability for serious recording and touring needs, the ESP LTD EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is a single-cutaway guitar that stands out from the crowd. This precision-crafted instrument delivers professional-grade tone, feel, and reliability in a refined single-cut design, featuring a sleek Candy Apple Red Satin finish with black and white multi-ply binding that defines the body and headstock.

Built with set-thru construction at a traditional 24.75" scale, the mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck unleash truckloads of resonance and sustain while providing unobstructed access to the highest frets. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets offers a frictionless, wear-resistant surface for lightning-fast runs and effortless bends. The matching-finish headstock adds a cohesive, professional look that completes this stunning instrument.

The tonal heart of the EC-1000 is the ESP-exclusive set of direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Humbucker pickups. Featuring an alnico pickup in the neck position and a ceramic model in the bridge, these pickups deliver three distinct voices accessed via push-pull controls on the neck volume and tone knobs. Voice 1 delivers tight, articulate modern metal tone with aggressive, mix-ready output. Voice 2 recreates Seymour Duncan's classic JB/Jazz response with warmth, clarity, and dynamic feel. Voice 3 introduces a powerful single-coil-style voice with enough articulation for cleans, edge-of-breakup tones, and layered production. The result is a guitar that covers everything from hi-fi cleans to searing high-gain fury.

Anchored by a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece and LTD locking tuners, the EC-1000 delivers rock-solid tuning stability, sustain, and intonation. With its comfortable Thin U neck contour and premium components, this guitar is an all-in-one powerhouse built to dominate any stage or studio session.
