ESP LTD TE-1000 Electric Guitar - Silver Blast | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The ESP LTD TE-1000 electric guitar reimagines the classic T-style platform with modern appointments and exceptional tonal versatility that transcends traditional genre boundaries. This professional-grade solidbody features a lightweight swamp ash body paired with premium Seymour Duncan pickups, delivering everything from crystal-clear clean tones to aggressive high-gain sounds. Built for intermediate to professional players, the TE-1000 combines timeless aesthetics with contemporary performance features that make it equally at home in jazz clubs, recording studios, or rock venues.
Product Overview
The TE-1000 showcases a solid swamp ash body finished in striking Silver Blast gloss, providing lightweight comfort without sacrificing resonance or sustain. Swamp ash delivers balanced tonal characteristics with pronounced midrange clarity and excellent high-frequency definition, making this guitar remarkably responsive across the entire frequency spectrum. The classic T-style body shape ensures ergonomic comfort during extended playing sessions while offering the iconic visual appeal that has defined electric guitar design for decades.
The roasted maple neck features a Thin U profile that facilitates effortless movement across all 24 frets, finished in smooth satin for reduced friction during fast passages. A Macassar ebony fingerboard with 13.77-inch radius and offset dot inlays provides optimal playability for both rhythm work and lead playing. The roasting process enhances the maple's stability and tonal response while adding vintage-style aesthetics. Extra jumbo stainless steel frets offer exceptional durability and precise intonation, ensuring consistent performance through years of intensive playing.
The electronics package centers on a powerful Seymour Duncan pickup combination—the APH-1N humbucker in the neck position and Custom 14 humbucker at the bridge. This versatile pairing covers vast tonal territory, from warm jazz voicings to aggressive rock and metal tones. Push-pull functionality on the volume and tone controls unlocks additional coil-splitting options, while a Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body design maximizes sustain and vibration transfer. LTD locking tuners and black hardware throughout ensure rock-solid tuning stability for demanding stage and studio applications.

Key Features
Premium Swamp Ash Construction
The solid swamp ash body delivers exceptional resonance with balanced tonal characteristics that emphasize midrange clarity and articulate high frequencies. Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended performances while providing the robust low-end response and sustain that professional players demand from solidbody electric guitars.
Roasted Maple Neck with Thin U Profile
The roasted maple neck combines vintage aesthetics with enhanced stability and tonal response, while the Thin U profile offers comfortable grip for all playing styles. Satin finish reduces friction for lightning-fast movements, making complex chord progressions and lead passages feel effortless even during demanding performances.
Versatile Seymour Duncan Pickup Configuration
The Seymour Duncan APH-1N neck humbucker provides warm, articulate tones perfect for jazz and blues, while the Custom 14 bridge pickup delivers aggressive output for rock and metal. Push-pull controls unlock coil-splitting options, effectively giving you single-coil sounds alongside full humbucker power for unprecedented tonal flexibility.
