The mahogany body of the TE-1000ET Charcoal Burst model T is adorned with a poplar top and Charcoal Burst finish. A three-piece maple neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. the neck recessed deeper into the body, is joined by a Makassar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo stainless steel frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by offset position dots.
Two active Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers with ceramic and Alnico magnets give the guitar a great dynamic sound (without any accompanying noise) with precise articulation of individual notes/chords and, if needed, a good dose of punch/aggressiveness. The Push/Pull function of the tone control allows you to switch between voicings - the guitar's sonic arsenal is thus much wider than it might at first appear. A three-position pickup switch completes the controls as standard.
Precise and stable tuning is guaranteed by the string attachment in the Grover tuning machines and the Evertune model F tailpiece, which compensates for string tension during plucking and sharper playing, ensuring the guitar stays in tune in all conditions.
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, has been formed to offer popular models in an affordable option. However, even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components.
