ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo Electric Guitar See Thru Black Seymour Duncan and Fishman

ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo Electric Guitar – See Thru Black | Quilted Maple Top, Set-Thru Mahogany Construction | Fishman Powerbridge Piezo System, Seymour Duncan JB/'59 Pickups & Dual Outputs

Description:

The Ultimate Hybrid. Electric Power. Acoustic Warmth.

The ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo is one of the most innovative and versatile guitars in the LTD Deluxe Series, being the first model to include both standard magnetic pickups and a completely separate piezo pickup system. Featuring the iconic single-cut Eclipse body shape with a stunning quilted maple top in a rich See Thru Black finish and sleek black hardware, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically flexible.

Built with a set-thru construction at a comfortable 24.75" scale, the mahogany body 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 that can handle everything from aggressive riffing to fluid lead work.

Loaded with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a '59 in the neck, the EC-1000 delivers powerful, articulate tones—from chiming cleans to growling high-gain saturation. The push-pull control on the tone pot allows for coil-split tones, expanding your sonic palette. The Fishman Powerbridge TOM-style bridge is embedded with piezo pickups, providing rich and natural-sounding acoustic tones alongside the aggressive sounds of the magnetic humbuckers. A mini toggle switch lets you select between magnetic, piezo, or a blend of both. With dual output jacks, you can route each pickup system to separate amplifiers or interfaces for ultimate live and studio flexibility.
