ESP LTD EC-1000 BP Eclipse Electric Guitar In Blue Natural Fade

The ESP LTD EC-1000 BP in Blue Natural Fade takes the classic Eclipse single-cut shape and gives it a modern, boutique twist. With its stunning burled poplar top, pro-grade Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus humbuckers, and rock-solid locking hardware, this guitar is built for serious players who need reliable performance, effortless playability and a standout stage presence.

Designed for working musicians but priced within reach of regular players, the EC-1000 BP delivers fast, comfortable playability, tight and articulate tones for modern metal, and enough versatility to handle everything from glassy cleans to saturated high-gain riffing. Set-thru construction, a mahogany body and a Macassar ebony fingerboard ensure excellent sustain and response, while the Thin U neck contour and 24 extra-jumbo frets make complex techniques feel natural and controlled.

Sleek, Modern Take on a Classic Single Cut

The EC-1000 BP keeps the familiar Eclipse silhouette but dresses it up with a burled poplar top finished in striking Blue Natural Fade. The figured top and deep blue burst give the guitar a boutique, custom-shop look that stands out under stage lights and in the studio. Combined with black hardware, it has a contemporary, aggressive aesthetic that perfectly matches its performance-focused spec.

Set-Thru Construction for Sustain and Upper-Fret Access

Set-thru construction pairs a mahogany body with a three-piece mahogany neck, giving you the warmth and punch associated with classic rock and metal guitars, along with excellent sustain. The clever neck joint design offers smoother upper-fret access than a traditional set-neck, so fast solos and high-register bends feel comfortable and unhindered right up to the 24th fret.

Fast Thin U Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard

The Thin U neck contour is designed for speed and comfort, allowing you to move quickly across the fretboard without fatigue. A Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 350 mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets gives a slick, responsive feel that is ideal for precise riffing, wide bends and low action setups. Whether you are chugging tight rhythms or playing intricate leads, the neck is built to keep up.

Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus Pickups

A Seymour Duncan Pegasus in the bridge and Sentient in the neck provide a powerful, articulate voice tailored for modern high-gain styles. The Pegasus delivers tight low end and clear mids that keep complex chords defined even with heavy distortion, while the Sentient offers smooth, detailed neck tones for fluid leads and expressive cleans. Passive electronics and a push-pull tone control add extra tonal flexibility, making it easy to move from crushing rhythm sounds to dynamic, nuanced lead tones.

Pro-Grade Locking Hardware

With LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, the EC-1000 BP is engineered for tuning stability and solid intonation. The locking bridge helps maximise string-to-body contact for better sustain and a more immediate feel, while the locking tuners make string changes quicker and help keep the guitar in tune through aggressive playing, bends and palm-muted riffs.
