ESP LTD EC-1000T, Black Natural Burst Overview

ESP LTD EC-1000T, Black Natural Burst

Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument, and the LTD EC-1000 has consistently ranked among the world’s most popular guitar models for the past 20+ years by delivering the high quality single-cutaway guitar shape designed for serious musicians at a price that everyone can afford. The “T” in the EC-1000T stands for “traditional”, which invokes its full-thickness body with no belly cut, but is chambered for weight relief and comfortable playing. It has a flamed maple cap on its mahogany body, with a three-piece mahogany neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. The EC-1000T tone is provided via a set of high-output Seymour Duncan Sentient (neck) and Pegasus (bridge) passive pickups - splittable by way of a push-pull control, for mind-blowing tones for metal, rock, fusion, progressive, and other genres. It includes flag inlays, full body/neck/headstock binding, and premier components like LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.

Available in Black Natural Burst finish.

Ticks every box. Size and weight approximating to a Gibson Les Paul. Superb pickups and fretboard (arguably better value than a L.P.). Well constructed in Korea. Good balance and appearance. Well set up when received. Sounds good for smooth jazz (wouldn't know about metal, thrash, bash and shred - hate that kind of stuff but then I am pushing 72 ! )

Amazing guitar!! I love the full thickness ESPs as the Les Paul Standard is my favourite guitar to play but these are half the price but just as nice to play. Very well made at their Korean factory, which is well known for high quality production. If you're thinking about buying any of the 1000 series, I would highly recommend any of them!
