Product Description
The ESP LTD EC-1000 Granite Sparkle takes the classic single-cut rock machine and arms it for modern metal and high-gain performance. With a sleek set-thru mahogany construction, ultra-stable hardware and a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers, this EC is built to deliver crushing rhythm tones, searing leads and surprisingly pristine cleans, all wrapped up in a stage-ready Granite Sparkle finish with matching headstock.
Under the glittering exterior you get serious pro-spec appointments that make a real difference when you plug in. Stainless steel XJ frets, a Thin U neck profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard give you a fast, slick playing feel that will keep up with the most demanding techniques. Locking hardware from TonePros and LTD keeps tuning rock solid, while the 24.75 inch scale and mahogany body provide the familiar feel and punch that EC players love.
The real tonal magic comes from the Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice pickups. With push/pull controls on both volume knobs and the tone control, you can access multiple distinct voices from each pickup, from tight, aggressive active tones to more open, dynamic sounds that sit perfectly in a mix. Whether you are chugging in drop tunings, playing articulate prog lines or switching to glassy cleans, the EC-1000 Granite Sparkle has the versatility to cover it all.
Finished in a bold Granite Sparkle with black hardware and MOP script inlay, this guitar looks every bit as powerful as it sounds. If you want a reliable, gig-ready instrument that combines modern metal performance with classic single-cut attitude, the ESP LTD EC-1000 Granite Sparkle is a serious contender.
Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Power
The EC-1000 Granite Sparkle is loaded with Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers in Alnico (neck) and Ceramic (bridge) configurations. Using the push/pull neck volume for Voice 3 and the push/pull tone for Voice 2, you can instantly switch between multiple tonal characters without changing guitars. From tight, saturated high-gain to more open, expressive voices, these pickups stay clear and noise-free even under extreme distortion.
Fast Thin U Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard
A 3-piece mahogany neck with Thin U profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard gives you a smooth, fast playing surface that is ideal for modern techniques. The 350 mm fingerboard radius keeps bends comfortable and chords clean, while the 42 mm nut width feels familiar and easy to navigate whether you are riffing low or shredding high.
Stainless Steel XJ Frets for Longevity and Precision
With 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, this EC-1000 is built for years of hard playing. Stainless steel resists wear far better than traditional fret materials, keeping your bends smooth and your intonation accurate over time. The larger XJ size makes big bends, fast legato and precise vibrato feel effortless across the entire neck.
Rock-Solid Locking Hardware
A TonePros locking Tune-o-Matic bridge and tailpiece work together with LTD locking tuners to keep your tuning stable and your intonation dialled in. The locking design improves sustain and transfer of string vibration into the mahogany body, while making string changes quicker and more secure for players who gig or record regularly.
