ESP LTD EC-1000 Fluence Electric Guitar - Black Gloss

ESP LTD EC-1000 Fluence Electric Guitar – Black Gloss | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The ESP LTD EC-1000 Fluence is a premium single-cut electric guitar that pairs the iconic Eclipse body platform with Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups — delivering an extraordinary range of high-gain and classic rock tones from a single instrument with two selectable voices per pickup. A solid mahogany body, set-through 3-piece mahogany neck in a Thin U profile, Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, TonePros locking Tune-o-Matic bridge and tailpiece, and LTD locking tuners complete a specification that covers everything from modern metal chug to creamy classic solos without changing guitars. Serial number CI25030089, weighing 7.76 lbs., finished in Black Gloss with gold hardware throughout — a visually commanding instrument that performs to match.

Product Overview

The EC-1000's Black Gloss finish with gold hardware is one of the most classically striking guitar aesthetic combinations available — the deep, mirror-like black body set against warm gold TonePros bridge, gold locking tuners, and gold Fishman Fluence pickup covers creates a visual contrast that commands attention on any stage. The Eclipse single-cutaway body shape is the silhouette that frames all of this — extra mass for genuinely epic sustain, slightly arched top for comfortable picking hand positioning in any style, and a sharp cutaway that provides unrestricted access to all 24 frets for upper-register shred and lead work.

Set-through mahogany neck construction is the tonal foundation that most distinguishes the EC-1000 from its more affordable LTD siblings. The neck wood extends through the mahogany body rather than joining it at a surface heel, creating a continuous wood path from headstock to body end that maximizes resonance transfer and produces the sustained, bloom-and-decay note character that set-through designs are celebrated for. The 3-piece mahogany neck construction adds the stability advantages of multi-piece construction — cross-cut grain orientation resisting the warping and dead spots that can develop in single-piece necks under varying environmental conditions. Thin U profile and 13.77" Macassar ebony fingerboard produce a fast, comfortable playing experience that keeps technical and demanding playing accessible over extended sessions.

The Fishman Fluence Modern pickup pairing is the tonal heart of the EC-1000 Fluence — and the dual-voice system is what makes this guitar genuinely exceptional. Unlike traditional wire-wound pickups with a fixed tonal character, each Fluence Modern pickup stores two complete, selectable voicings. The neck pickup's Alnico magnet Voice 1 delivers tight bass, crisp highs, and a subtle modern growl for modern active pickup character. Voice 2 provides a high-output humbucker character with more harmonic density and distortion-ready output. The bridge pickup's Ceramic magnet construction produces Voice 1's tight, articulate modern active clarity and Voice 2's aggressive, high-output humbucker ferocity. All four voices are hum-free regardless of which voice or combination is selected — the Fluence system's multi-layer coil technology eliminates the noise issues that single-coil and older active pickup designs can introduce.

The TonePros locking Tune-o-Matic bridge is a component upgrade that experienced players recognize immediately — TonePros is the most respected aftermarket TOM bridge manufacturer, with locking studs that prevent the bridge from shifting or moving during playing, maximizing resonance transfer between bridge and body and ensuring precise, stable intonation. It's a common and expensive aftermarket upgrade on lesser guitars. Having it factory-installed on the EC-1000 at its price point reflects the level of specification LTD commits to on their Deluxe-tier instruments.

Ideal For

• Rock and metal guitarists who want the Fluence Modern's dual-voice tonal range — modern active clarity and high-output humbucker aggression — in the Eclipse single-cut platform
• Players who want set-through mahogany construction's maximum resonance and sustain in a premium active pickup guitar
• Guitarists who want Macassar ebony fingerboard, stainless steel XJ frets, and TonePros locking bridge in a factory specification rather than as aftermarket upgrades
• High-gain and modern metal players who want hum-free active pickup performance with the voicing flexibility of the Fluence system's push-pull voice selection
• Guitarists in Idaho Falls looking for the EC-1000 Fluence's premium specification at an LTD Deluxe price point — TonePros, stainless frets, Macassar ebony, and Fishman Fluence in one guitar
