The ESP LTD EC-1000 in Vintage Black is a refined take on the single-cutaway, pairing classic looks with passive boutique tone. Its set-thru mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck deliver the deep sustain and resonance this design is famous for, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless frets ensures smooth, fast playability across the 24.75" scale. A pair of passive Seymour Duncan JB and '59 humbuckers provides rich, dynamic, road-tested tone, with push-pull coil splitting for added single-coil voicings. A TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece with LTD locking tuners keeps tuning rock-solid, and elegant gold hardware with body, neck, and headstock binding gives it a premium, vintage-inspired look that belies its price.
