ESP LTD PHOENIX-1000 VW

Phoenix-1000 electric guitars are part of the LTD Deluxe series. Their tone, design, workmanship and playing characteristics fully correspond to professional instruments. They represent a good choice for players looking for a guitar that would represent them with dignity in terms of sound and design.

The PHOENIX-1000 VW offers an interesting offset hard & heavy body design. The body construction itself is composed of mahogany wings and a three-piece through neck made of maple with a narrower fast Thin U profile. Twenty-two Extra Jumbo size frets divide the Ebony Macassar fingerboard surface. Position blocks make it easy to navigate its surface.



The combination of Seymour Duncan passive pickups, i.e. a high output humbucker and a neck single-coil, gives the guitar a wide range of sound colours, which can be expanded thanks to the Push/Pull tone shutter function (to change the character of the humbucker to a single-coil). The sound of the instrument will thus stand out in a variety of (even completely different) musical styles. A three-position pickup switch completes the controls as standard.

The strings are held in the company's quality locking mechanisms and a solid Tonepros Locking TOM and string bridge. The stylish look of the instrument is accentuated by the Vintage White finish and gold hardware.

ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera. Due to the popularity of these instruments, a subsidiary company LTD was created to offer popular models in an affordable option. Even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, however, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components.
