The ESP LTD EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is a sleek, modern single-cut built for players who demand crushing metal tones, slick playability and rock-solid tuning stability. With its set-thru mahogany construction, ultra-fast Thin U neck and cutting-edge Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice active humbuckers, this EC-1000 is ready for tight rhythm work, fluid leads and everything in between.

Finished in a striking Candy Apple Red Satin with matching headstock and black hardware, it looks every bit as aggressive as it sounds. Stainless steel frets, locking hardware and a TonePros locking TOM bridge keep things precise and reliable, while the versatile 3-voice pickup system lets you flip from saturated high-gain to articulate cleans at the pull of a knob.

Whether you are chugging in low tunings, playing technical riffs or delivering soaring solos, the EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin gives you the feel and response you need, night after night.

Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Humbuckers

The EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is loaded with Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice active humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. These direct-mount pickups offer three distinct voices, accessed via the push/pull volume and tone controls, so you can move from tight, percussive high-gain to more open, dynamic textures without changing guitars. The active design keeps your signal powerful and noise-free, ideal for modern metal and high-gain rock.

Fast Thin U Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard

A 3-piece mahogany neck with ESPs Thin U profile delivers a fast, comfortable feel that suits rapid riffing and intricate lead work. The Macassar ebony fingerboard adds snap and clarity to your tone while providing a smooth, dense playing surface. Combined with a 350 mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, bends feel effortless and complex chords remain clear across the neck.

Set-Thru Mahogany Construction

The set-thru neck construction and mahogany body work together for excellent sustain and a rich, full-bodied sound. Set-thru builds offer the upper-fret access of a neck-thru with the punch and familiarity of a set-neck, giving you a responsive instrument that sings on leads and stays tight under heavy palm-muted riffs.

Locking Hardware and TonePros Bridge

With LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking Tune-o-Matic bridge and tailpiece, the EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is engineered for stability. The locking design helps keep your tuning solid through aggressive playing and frequent string changes, while the TonePros bridge enhances sustain and ensures precise intonation for accurate performance on stage and in the studio.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
