ESP LTD EC-1000 Electric Guitar - See Thru Black Cherry | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
This newly updated EC-1000 offers a luxurious, upscale look with its quilted maple top, See Thru Black Cherry finish, and special aesthetic touches like multi-ply body and headstock binding, with sleek black hardware complementing the overall design. Set-thru construction, Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups, and modern hardware bring today's performance amenities to this classic ESP LTD single-cut design.
Product Overview
The EC-1000 pairs set-thru construction at a 24.75" scale with a smooth heel joint, combining a mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck for a resonant, sustain-rich tonal foundation. A Macassar ebony fingerboard with ESP flag inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets deliver both a refined look and smooth, durable playability.
Modern hardware includes a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece for reliable intonation and tuning stability, along with LTD locking tuners to keep the guitar in tune string to string. The Thin U neck contour offers fast, comfortable playability suited to a wide range of styles.
Sound comes from a set of direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups — ceramic in the bridge, alnico in the neck — with black nickel covers matching the guitar's overall aesthetic. Each pickup offers two distinct voices via a push-pull control. The ceramic bridge pickup's Voice 1 delivers crisp, searing crunch with tight bass and no mud, while Voice 2 offers modern passive-style attack with organic distortion characteristics and strong dynamics. The alnico neck pickup's Voice 1 provides Fishman's modern active high-output tone — full, round, and boosted with exceptional articulation — while Voice 2 delivers the crisp, clean, fluid neck humbucker tone players look for.
Ideal For
- Guitarists seeking an upscale-looking instrument with modern active electronics
- Players wanting access to four distinct pickup voicings from one guitar
- Rock and metal musicians needing high-output tone with dynamic clean options
- Performers who value locking hardware for reliable tuning stability on stage
