ESP LTD EC-Black Metal Electric Guitar - Satin Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The ESP LTD EC-Black Metal is a purpose-built instrument designed for extreme metal guitarists who demand uncompromising tone and menacing aesthetics. This all-black solidbody electric guitar features a mahogany body and set-neck construction for massive sustain, paired with a scorching Seymour Duncan Black Winter humbucker that delivers crushing high-gain tones. With its blacked-out hardware, Macassar ebony fingerboard with glow-in-the-dark side markers, and quality construction matching ESP's LTD Deluxe 1000 series, the EC-Black Metal is ready for the most intense performances in underground metal.

Product Overview

The EC-Black Metal showcases ESP's iconic Eclipse body shape crafted from resonant mahogany and finished in menacing satin black polyurethane. Every component on this guitar is blacked out, from the hardware to the pickups, creating a sinister aesthetic that commands attention on stage. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features no traditional inlays, maintaining the all-black appearance while glow-in-the-dark side markers provide essential position reference in dark venues. This uncompromising visual design perfectly matches the guitar's sonic capabilities.

The 3-piece mahogany set neck features a comfortable thin U profile that facilitates fast, technical playing demanded by modern extreme metal styles. The 24.75-inch scale length and 13.77-inch fingerboard radius provide familiar feel for players transitioning from classic rock guitars, while 24 extra jumbo frets offer effortless bending and tapping across the entire range. Set-neck construction ensures exceptional sustain and note definition, critical for maintaining clarity during high-gain, technically demanding passages.

At the heart of this guitar's sonic arsenal is the Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter bridge humbucker, specifically voiced for extreme metal applications. This pickup delivers crushing distortion with punishing midrange and aggressive harmonic saturation that cuts through dense mixes. The TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation, while LTD locking tuners ensure your guitar stays in tune through the most aggressive playing and dive-bomb techniques. A single volume control keeps the electronics simple and responsive.

Key Features

Seymour Duncan Black Winter Humbucker

The Blackened Black Winter bridge humbucker is engineered specifically for extreme metal, delivering crushing distortion with exceptional note definition. This pickup's aggressive midrange voicing ensures your riffs cut through dense band mixes while maintaining harmonic richness and sustain during leads.

Set-Neck Construction

The glued-in set-neck joint provides superior sustain and resonance compared to bolt-on designs, allowing notes to ring out with exceptional clarity even under extreme distortion. This construction method also improves upper fret access for technical lead work and ensures stable neck alignment for consistent playability.

Premium Mahogany Tonewood

Both the body and 3-piece neck are crafted from mahogany, a tonewood prized for its warmth, resonance, and midrange focus. This wood combination delivers the thick, powerful sound essential for heavy rhythm work while maintaining articulation during fast palm-muted passages.

TonePros Locking Hardware

The TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece lock securely to the body, maximizing string energy transfer for improved sustain and resonance. Combined with LTD locking tuners, this hardware package ensures your guitar maintains precise tuning through aggressive playing and stage abuse.

Glow-in-the-Dark Side Markers

Practical innovation meets dark aesthetics with glow-in-the-dark side markers that charge under stage lights and remain visible in dark venues. These markers provide essential position reference while maintaining the guitar's blacked-out appearance on the fingerboard face.
