ESP LTD EC-1000FM See Thru Purple

What we say:

At A Glance:

The EC-1000 in See Thru Purple has all of the performance needed for the modern guitarist. The single cut, 24.75" scale length, set-thru neck design clearly takes inspiration from a classic model, but it's the refinements that are where ESP really shine. With some well placed contours in the body and sharpened edges, the Eclipse is less 'clunky' than its competition. The mahogany body and maple cap combination handles all of the bite and attack needed, but with a prominent mid range to thicken up your tone. With a TonePros TOM style bridge and tailpiece and two Seymour Duncan humbuckers, it's versatility is second to none.

Features We Love:

Seymour Duncan Humbucking Pickups

The guitar features a pickup combination that's engineered for the finest rock tones. The Custom-5 in the bridge position is like a vintage humbucker that's been modded to have a higher output. With a tight low end, scooped mids and controlled highs, the Custom-5 is a great all-round pickup with an aggressive edge.

In the neck position is a Jazz humbucker that's loved for its ability to bring clarity to your neck position tone. With a rich quality on cleans and punchy tone for overdriven solos, the Jazz is ready to take your sound to the next level!

Gorgeous, Classic Looks

The stunning flame maple top, finished in See Thru Purple takes inspiration from sought after vintage instruments but with all of the playability of a modern guitar. Infusing timeless looks with a modern feel is ESP's bread and butter and it really shows in this model.

Slim, Fast Neck Profile

The EC-1000 has a thin U shape neck which is slim, but not so thin that you're left looking for more to grasp. Somewhat of a classic feature to ESP guitars, it will satisfy both the guitarist new to the brand or someone who is well accustomed to the sleek neck shape.

Highlights:

• Macassar ebony fingerboard that looks great with the nickel hardware and will give bite and high end clarity to your playing
• Locking tuners for extremely reliable tuning stability
• Set-thru construction for increased sustain and resonance
