ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM TS

The EC-1000 electric guitars with the characteristic rock LP body shape 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 mahogany body of the EC-1000T CTM TOBACCO SUNBURST SATIN is adorned with a maple top and a spectacular veneer of flamed maple. This is a solid-bodied guitar with the standard thickness of traditional LP models, however, the chambering makes it lighter than traditional LP models, which you and your spine will appreciate after extended playing. A three-piece mahogany neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. the neck is recessed deeper into the body, is joined by an Ebony Macassar fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Extra Jumbo stainless steel frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by position blocks.

Two active Fishman Fluence Open Core humbuckers not only provide the guitar with awesome dynamics and precise tone articulation, but also, thanks to two Push/Pull drivers, complete sonic versatility. Each humbucker offers three different sonic characters, allowing you to switch between a wide range of musical genres - from jazz/blues and classic rock/hard rock to metal. Two volume potentiometers, a tone shield and a three-position pickup switch are used to make standard adjustments to the guitar tone.

The strings are held in quality locking company mechanics and a solid Tonepros Locking TOM and stringer. Nice workmanship is accentuated by the multi-layered double-sided body binding and black hardware.

ESP has been making 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.
