Product Description
The ESP LTD NV-1000 is a razor-sharp, neck-thru V built for high-gain precision and stage-dominating presence. With its sleek Black finish, active EMG pickups and a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo, it is a purpose-built metal machine that excels at tight rhythm work, fluid leads and aggressive divebombs, all while staying rock solid under the heaviest playing styles.
Centred around a neck-thru 3-piece maple neck with mahogany wings and a Macassar ebony fingerboard, the NV-1000 delivers instant attack, long sustain and superb upper-fret access. The Thin U profile and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets make fast runs, wide bends and intricate techniques feel effortless, while the locking nut and Grover tuners keep everything stable and in tune.
An EMG 81 in the bridge and EMG 60 in the neck give you the classic active metal voice with tight low end, cutting mids and searing highs, backed up by smooth, glassy cleans and singing leads. Direct-mount installation maximises resonance and focus, and the simple master volume and toggle switch layout keeps you locked into the performance, not the controls.
Finished with a striking Silver Block with Gold Shadow inlay motif and all-black hardware, the LTD NV-1000 looks every bit as lethal as it sounds. If you want a modern V-style guitar that can handle extreme tuning stability, articulate high-gain tones and fast, technical playing, this is a serious contender.
High-Performance Neck-Thru Construction
The NV-1000 uses a neck-thru design with a 3-piece maple neck running the full length of the body, joined by mahogany wings. This construction enhances sustain, improves resonance and gives you seamless access to the highest frets, ideal for expressive solos and extended-range riffing up the neck.
EMG Active Pickups for Modern Metal Tones
With an EMG 81 in the bridge and EMG 60 in the neck, both direct mounted, the NV-1000 delivers tight, articulate high-gain tones with excellent note definition. The 81 excels at crushing rhythm work and cutting leads, while the 60 offers smooth, clear cleans and singing sustain, giving you a versatile palette for modern rock and metal.
Floyd Rose 1000SE Tremolo and Locking Nut
The Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo paired with a locking nut lets you perform extreme vibrato, divebombs and flutters while maintaining tuning stability. Combined with Grover tuners, this setup is built for players who demand reliable performance under heavy whammy bar use and aggressive playing styles.
Fast Thin U Neck and Stainless Steel Frets
The Thin U neck profile, 350 mm fingerboard radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets create a fast, comfortable playing surface. Stainless steel frets are highly durable and smooth, making bends and vibrato feel effortless while offering long-lasting performance for touring and regular gigging.
Features
- Neck-Thru Mahogany and Maple Construction - A 3-piece maple neck running through mahogany body wings provides outstanding sustain, resonance and stability, while also giving you effortless access to the upper frets for lead playing.
- EMG 81 / EMG 60 Active Pickups - The EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck pickups deliver powerful, noise-free performance with tight lows, cutting mids and smooth highs, perfect for modern metal rhythms and expressive solos.
- Floyd Rose 1000SE Tremolo System - The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge and locking nut combination offers rock-solid tuning even under extreme tremolo use, giving you the freedom to use divebombs and pitch effects without sacrificing stability.
- Macassar Ebony Fingerboard with Stainless Steel Frets - The dark, smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide a fast, precise feel, enhancing clarity and making advanced techniques easier and more comfortable.
