The ESP LTD EC-1000 in Vintage Black is a metal mainstay built around the punishing clarity of active EMG pickups. Its set-thru mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck deliver thick, sustaining tone, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless frets and a 24.75" scale make fast, aggressive playing effortless. The active EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck humbuckers serve up the tight, saturated, articulate voice that's defined countless heavy records. A TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece with LTD locking tuners ensures stability under the most demanding playing, and refined gold hardware with multi-ply binding gives this workhorse a genuinely premium look. It's a proven high-output machine for serious players.
