Description:

A Masterpiece in High-Performance Guitar for the Modern Era.

The newly-updated ESP LTD EC-1000 is a masterpiece in high-performance guitar design, seamlessly blending classic single-cut aesthetics with cutting-edge modern amenities. Start with the classics: a glossy black-finished beauty with gleaming gold hardware and special aesthetic touches like multi-ply body and headstock binding. Its set-thru construction at 24.75" scale with a mahogany body and three-piece fully-bound mahogany neck draw from the traditional school of single-cut guitar design, delivering exceptional sustain, resonance, and effortless upper-fret access.

But the EC-1000 Fluence also offers the modern amenities for today's music performance styles. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with ESP flag inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provides a smooth, fast playing surface that can handle everything from aggressive riffing to fluid lead work. The TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, combined with LTD locking tuners, ensure rock-solid tuning stability and quick string changes.

Loaded with a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups—ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck—this guitar 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 ceramic bridge pickup offers Voice 1: the ultimate high-output ceramic humbucker tone with crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl; and Voice 2: modern passive attack performance with superbly organic distortion characteristics and outstanding dynamics. The alnico neck pickup delivers Voice 1: the ideal active alnico sound—full, round, and boosted with unprecedented articulation and dynamics; and Voice 2: the crisp, clean, and fluid neck humbucker tone you've always wanted.
