ESP LTD M-1000 Electric Guitar - Candy Apple Red | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The ESP LTD M-1000 is a high-performance solidbody electric guitar built for rock and metal players who demand uncompromising tone, effortless playability, and stage-ready features in one aggressive package. Dual Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers deliver hard-hitting, versatile tones across a wide range of genres—with coil-splitting for single-coil spank when the situation calls for it. From the set-through 3-piece maple neck to the Floyd Rose tremolo, the LTD M-1000 is a bona fide rocker ready for high-gain heroics at every level.
Product Overview
The M-1000's body construction begins with a set-through 3-piece maple neck as the central spine, with two alder wings attached on either side to boost resonance and deliver the well-balanced tonal character alder is known for. The body receives additional carving for player comfort, including a generous belly cut and deep cutaways that provide total access to the upper frets—details that make a real difference during extended live performance. Finished in a striking Candy Apple Red, the M-1000 turns heads before a single note is played, making it one of the most visually commanding electric guitars available at a guitar shop in Idaho Falls.
The 3-piece maple neck is carved into ESP's extra-thin U profile—substantial enough to grip chords comfortably, but streamlined enough to stay out of the way during intense lead work. A satin finish on the back of the neck promotes fast, fluid movement across all positions, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets create a glassy, effortless playing surface that rewards both rhythm and lead players. The set-through construction significantly increases sustain compared to bolt-on alternatives, giving every note a long, singing decay.
Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups are among the most versatile high-output pickups available, delivering tight, articulate response with the punch and clarity that modern rock and metal demand. Each pickup is coil-splittable, unlocking a range of single-coil tones that extend the M-1000's sonic versatility well beyond the high-gain spectrum. The Floyd Rose tremolo rounds out the feature set with a performance-ready vibrato system that stays in tune through even the most aggressive dive bombs and pull-ups.

Key Features
Fishman Fluence Modern Active Humbuckers Fishman Fluence Modern pickups deliver tight, articulate, high-output tone with exceptional clarity across all gain levels—purpose-built for modern rock and metal. Each pickup is coil-splittable, giving players access to single-coil tones that broaden the M-1000's sonic range considerably.
Set-Through 3-Piece Maple Neck Construction The set-through neck joint maximizes the contact area between neck and body, significantly enhancing sustain and resonance compared to bolt-on designs. The 3-piece maple construction adds stability and further contributes to the guitar's articulate, balanced tone.
Extra-Thin U Neck Profile with Macassar Ebony Fingerboard ESP's extra-thin U profile keeps the neck fast and comfortable for both rhythm and lead playing, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets create a smooth, glassy playing surface that makes every position feel effortless.
Alder Body Wings with Player-Comfort Carving Two alder wings flank the maple neck core, contributing the warm, balanced resonance that alder is prized for. Additional body carving—including a deep belly cut and upper-fret cutaways—ensures comfort and accessibility throughout extended playing sessions.
Floyd Rose Tremolo System The Floyd Rose tremolo enables expressive pitch manipulation—from subtle vibrato to full dive bombs—while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability. It's the performance-ready vibrato system of choice for players who demand reliability alongside expressiveness.
Satin Neck Finish The satin finish on the back of the neck reduces friction for fast, fluid movement across all positions, helping players reach new speeds without the sticky drag that gloss-finished necks can produce.
