ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo Deluxe Electric Guitar - See Thru Black

ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo Electric Guitar – See Thru Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo is one of the most sonically versatile guitars in the LTD Deluxe Series — the first EC-1000 model to combine a full magnetic pickup system with a completely separate piezo pickup system in a single instrument, giving players access to three distinct sonic worlds from one guitar. Serial number W24100165, weighing 6.76 lbs., finished in See Thru Black over a quilted maple top on a mahogany body with black hardware throughout. Seymour Duncan JB at the bridge and '59 at the neck with push-pull coil-split, a Fishman Powerbridge TOM and Tailpiece piezo system with independent volume control, a mini toggle for source selection between magnetic, piezo, or both simultaneously, and dual output jacks for fully independent signal routing — to separate amplifiers, interfaces, or any combination of the two. Set-through 3-piece mahogany neck at 24.75" scale, Macassar ebony fingerboard, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and LTD locking tuners complete a specification that is as impressive to play as it is to look at.

Product Overview

The quilted maple top in See Thru Black is a sophisticated and visually striking finish choice — the translucent black allows the quilted maple's three-dimensional figure to read clearly through the dark tint, the rippling quilt pattern creating visual depth and movement that plain finishes and solid colors cannot achieve. Against the black hardware — Fishman Powerbridge, LTD locking tuners, pickup covers, and toggle hardware — the See Thru Black finish creates a unified, monochromatic, premium visual presentation that is understated and serious without being plain.

The EC-1000 Piezo's defining innovation is the integration of two completely independent pickup systems with genuinely flexible routing options. Most acoustic-electric and hybrid guitars integrate their piezo and magnetic systems with a single blended output — the EC-1000 Piezo goes further by providing independent volume controls for each system, a mini toggle switch for source selection (magnetic only, piezo only, or both combined), and dual output jacks that allow the magnetic and piezo signals to be sent to completely separate destinations simultaneously. In a live performance context, this means the magnetic pickups can go to a guitar amplifier while the piezo signal goes directly to the front-of-house PA — producing a layered sound that combines electric guitar and acoustic-like character from a single instrument without compromise. In a recording context, both signals can be captured to separate tracks simultaneously for maximum post-production flexibility.

The Seymour Duncan JB and '59 combination is one of the most widely trusted and musically versatile humbucker pairings in rock and metal — the JB's hot, harmonically complex bridge character paired with the '59's warm, articulate, vintage PAF-inspired neck voice covering an enormous range of musical territory from clean to high-gain. The push-pull coil-split on the tone control adds single-coil voices from both pickups, extending the magnetic pickup system's range further into clean, chimey, vintage-style territory. The Fishman Powerbridge's piezo saddle transducers capture the string's acoustic vibration at the bridge contact point for an articulate, acoustic-like tone that is genuinely different in character from the magnetic system — not a simulation of acoustic tone but an actual acoustic transducer response.

The set-through 3-piece mahogany neck construction eliminates the neck joint for maximum resonance transfer and sustain, the Macassar ebony fingerboard provides crisp, defined tonal articulation and smooth playing feel, and the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets deliver the long-term durability and consistent playing feel that nickel frets require repeated leveling to maintain. At 6.76 lbs., this is a notably light example of the EC-1000 Piezo that wears comfortably through long sets and extended playing sessions.

• Live performers who want to run magnetic pickups to a guitar amp and piezo signal to a PA simultaneously from a single instrument
• Recording guitarists who want to capture both magnetic and piezo signals to separate tracks simultaneously for maximum studio flexibility
• Players who want the JB and '59's classic rock and metal tonal range with push-pull coil-split alongside a genuine acoustic-like piezo voice in one guitar

Key Features

Dual Pickup System — Seymour Duncan Magnetic and Fishman Powerbridge Piezo
Seymour Duncan JB bridge and '59 neck magnetic humbuckers paired with a Fishman Powerbridge TOM piezo system — two completely independent pickup systems with their own volume controls, source selection toggle, and dual output jacks.

Mini Toggle Source Selection — Magnetic, Piezo, or Both
A mini toggle switch selects between the magnetic system, the piezo system, or both simultaneously — the most flexible source selection available on a production guitar.

Dual Output Jacks — Fully Independent Signal Routing
Two output jacks allow the magnetic and piezo signals to be routed to completely separate destinations simultaneously — separate amplifiers, separate interfaces, or any combination for live and studio applications.

Seymour Duncan JB and '59 with Push-Pull Coil-Split
One of the most trusted and versatile humbucker pairings in rock and metal — hot JB bridge character and warm '59 neck warmth, with push-pull coil-split for extended single-coil tonal range.

Quilted Maple Top — See Thru Black
Translucent black over a quilted maple top creates a sophisticated, monochromatic visual presentation that showcases the quilt figure's three-dimensional depth through the dark finish.

Set-Through 3-Piece Mahogany Neck — 24.75" Scale
