ESP's LTD 1000 Series encompasses a range of professional-grade instruments that are attainable for most serious guitar players. This EC-1000 is one of the most captivating models in the lineup, with its exquisite Quilted Maple top and mesmerising 'See Thru Purple Sunburst' finish giving it the look of a guitar twice its price.

It's not just a pretty guitar though. The ESP LTD EC-1000 is a dependable, high-performance workhorse that comes equipped with a host of premium features; allowing you to maximise your musical performances. This includes a pair of active EMG humbuckers, a set-thru-body construction, a sleek Macassar Ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets and LTD locking tuners.

Key Features

Mahogany Body — Provides a rich and deep sonic foundation for the pickups.
3-Piece Mahogany Neck — Layered neck design improves strength for exceptional tuning stability.
Set-Through Construction — Yields massive sustain and enables smooth, unhindered access to the higher frets; especially with the contoured heel and cutaway.
Thin "U" Neck Profile — Lean shape is suited for performance-minded players who prioritise both comfort and speed.
X-Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Resistant to corrosion for life-long performance. Wide and tall fret-wire provides a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords or single notes.
EMG Active Humbuckers — A powerful and versatile pickup set; combining the sheer aggression of the legendary EMG 81 (in the bridge position) with the smooth, punchy tone of the coil-splittable 60TW-R mounted at the neck.
TonePros Bridge & Tailpiece — Locking design prevents these parts from falling off of the instrument when removing the strings, and guarantees better contact with the body for increased sustain and resonance.
LTD Locking Tuners — Ergonomic machine heads cut down string-changing time and improve tuning stability, as less string winds are required around their tuning posts.

Stuff About 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.

Stuff About 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.

Stuff About 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.
