ESP LTD EC-1000S Black Fluence

What we say:

At A Glance:

The EC-1000 in black 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 Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, it's versatility is second to none.

Features We Love:

Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Pickups

The Fishman Fluence pickups are a bit of a game changer. From Texas blues styles to modern metal at the mere touch of a push/pull control, the different voicings will cover vintage and modern tones and everything in between.

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.

Stainless Steel Frets

Twenty-four extra-jumbo Stainless Steel frets have been worked into the Macassar ebony fingerboard. Stainless Steel will outlast traditional fret material, meaning you have one of the most durable frets currently available. Their increased size makes it easier to fret a note resulting in a faster-playing neck.

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
