The ESP LTD EC-1000T FM Eclipse in Black Natural Burst is a sleek, modern rock machine that blends molten tone with boutique looks. With a burled poplar top over a mahogany body, a fast thin U neck and a powerful Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus pickup pairing, it is built to handle everything from articulate prog riffs to saturated modern metal, all while feeling instantly familiar under the fingers.
Its classic 24.75 inch scale and set-neck construction give you the sustain and warmth you would expect from a single cut, while the contoured Eclipse body and Macassar ebony fingerboard keep things precise and comfortable. Add in LTD locking tuners, a TOM bridge and a push pull coil split for extra versatility, and you have a stage ready workhorse that looks as good as it sounds.
Volcanic Seymour Duncan Tone
The EC-1000T FM comes loaded with a Seymour Duncan Sentient in the neck and a Pegasus in the bridge, a pairing designed for high gain clarity and expressive dynamics. The Pegasus delivers tight, focused lows and a rich midrange that keeps complex chords and rapid riffs defined, while the Sentient offers fluid, singing leads and detailed cleans. Together they give you a wide tonal palette that excels in modern metal, prog and hard rock without ever getting muddy.
Legendary Eclipse Feel and Aesthetics
ESP’s iconic Eclipse shape gives this guitar a familiar single cut silhouette with a sleeker, more aggressive twist. The burled poplar top finished in Black Natural Burst adds a boutique, custom shop vibe, with the figuring of the wood visible beneath the finish. Combined with black hardware and a dark Macassar ebony fingerboard, it is a guitar that looks every bit as serious as it sounds.
Fast Thin U Neck and Ebony Fingerboard
A three piece mahogany neck with a thin U contour and 24 extra jumbo frets makes fast runs, wide stretches and big bends feel effortless. The 350 mm fingerboard radius keeps things low and flat for easy string bending and low action, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard adds a smooth, snappy response that helps every note cut through the mix.
Rock Solid Hardware and Versatile Controls
A TOM bridge with tailpiece and LTD locking tuners provide stable tuning and solid intonation, ideal for heavy riffing and aggressive playing styles. The control layout of individual bridge and neck volume knobs, a master tone with push pull function and a three way toggle switch gives you quick access to a range of sounds, from full humbucking roar to more cutting, coil split textures.
Key Features
- Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus Pickups – This high performance pickup set delivers tight, articulate high gain tones with excellent note separation. The Pegasus keeps riffs punchy and defined, while the Sentient offers smooth leads and detailed cleans, giving you the flexibility to cover modern metal, prog and beyond.
- Mahogany Body with Burled Poplar Top – A solid mahogany body provides warmth, sustain and a powerful low end, while the burled poplar top in Black Natural Burst adds visual flair and a touch of brightness. The result is a tone that is rich yet clear, and a look that stands out on any stage.
- Thin U Neck with Macassar Ebony Fingerboard – The three piece mahogany neck with a thin U contour and 24 XJ frets is built for speed and comfort. Paired with a smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard and a 350 mm radius, it encourages fast, precise playing and makes complex techniques feel natural.
- Locking Hardware and Practical Control Layout – LTD locking tuners and a TOM bridge with tailpiece keep your tuning stable and your intonation accurate, even under heavy playing. The dual volume controls, master tone with push pull and three way toggle switch make it easy to dial in everything from full bodied humbucker tones to sharper, coil split sounds on the fly.
