The ESP LTD EC-1000 is a striking take on the classic single cut, boasting ultra modern high performance playability. It perfectly balances pro level specs and everyday musician accessibility in one enticing package.
Construction
This is quintessential ESP style. The EC-1000 is a hot-rodded mean machine, featuring a stunning flamed maple top on a mahogany body; a tried and tested choice for single cut guitars. Seamlessly set through is a matching mahogany neck in ESP's comfortable thin “U” shape. The 24.75 inch ebony fretboard makes it incredibly easy to jump between the 24 extra jumbo frets and adds to the aggressive tone of the guitar.
In the hardware department, the EC-1000 is kitted out with an ever-reliable Tonepros locking bridge, paired up with indispensable set of LTD locking tuners. These are sure to keep the guitar in shape through any heavy playing session.
Sound
The EC-1000 is equipped with an impressive Seymour Duncan Custom 5 and Jazz pickup duo in the bridge and neck positions. If you're looking for a guitar that covers both old school style and modern metal clarity, this is the one to do it.
The Custom 5 is a high output alnico 5 humbucker packing a full, bright tone and balanced bass and treble. The Jazz is equally high in output, delivering even glassier characteristics and a tighter bass response for Santana-esque leads.
