ESP LTD TE-1000, Black Blast Overview

This model is part of the Limited Deluxe Series, which combines quality with affordability, featuring professional-quality features, while also being great-looking guitars.

The LTD TE-1000 has a Swamp Ash body with a Roasted Maple neck and fretboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets, and also features LTD locking tuners and a Hipshot string-thru bridge.

For pickups, it has a Seymour Duncan Sentient at the neck, which is a vintage output pickup and provides a balanced, versatile tone with articulation, great for lower tunings, and a Seymour Duncan Pegasus at the bridge, which delivers rich harmonics, warm, balanced responsiveness and a sparkly top end that works well both for clean and distortion. Combined, they offer a wide range of modern metal tones.

To complete the look is black hardware, off-set abalone dot inlays, and a subtle Black Blast finish.
