ESP LTD EC-1000 Black Natural Burst

What we say:

At A Glance:

The EC-1000 in Black Natural Burst has all of the performance needed for the modern metal player. 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 it's competition. The mahogany body and burled poplar top 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 thrown in for good measure it's got some seriously impressive specs.

Features We Love:

Seymour Duncan Pickups

The Alnico V Pegasus bridge and Sentient neck humbuckers are a great combination for metal players. They may be medium output, but the articulation and aggression is very clear and won't muddy when using more and more gain. For less aggressive tones, the push/pull coil split opens up a range of classic spanky tones.

Gorgeous Burled Poplar Arched Top

The select wood looks stunning with it's unique, striking pattern that is complimented by a translucent, glossed finish.

Slim, Comfortable Neck

The EC-1000's thin U shape neck is slim, but doesn't leave you looking for more to grasp. Somewhat 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 black 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
