ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Guitar, Macassar Ebony Fretboard, See Thru Black Cherry

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Active Humbucking Pickups – See-thru Black Cherry

Looks, Tone, and Response — This LTD Has It All

The ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM blends the look and feel of a traditional chambered single cut with the versatile active electronics to handle modern and classic styles of music. The EC-1000T CTM’s weight-relieved mahogany body comes crowned with a satin-finished maple top for comfort and presence onstage. On the playability side, its 3-piece mahogany neck and 13.8-inch-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard provide the room and reach to take your rhythms and leads to bold new heights. Best of all, whether you’re playing smooth jazz or technical metal, you can coax endless textures out of the EC-1000T CTM’s tri-voiced Fishman Fluence active pickups. Set-through neck construction gives this guitar long-lasting sustain and excellent articulation, while a TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece deliver dependable tuning stability and intonation. Complete with an eye-grabbing finish and premium black hardware, the EC-1000T CTM is one guitar that has it all.

Fluence Open Core Classic pickups give you endless tonal options

With the EC-1000T CTM’s Fishman Fluence active pickups, you’re able to harness several decades of the most sought-after rock and metal tones ever mined. Yours with the tug of a pot are three distinctly different voicings for each pickup:

• Neck V1: a vintage-sounding PAF humbucker
• Neck V2: an airy chime with plenty of sweetness
• Neck V3: a quacky, spanky classic single-coil
• Bridge V1: a bridge-position PAF with extra output
• Bridge V2: a muscular, hot-rodded humbucker
• Bridge V3: an overwound single-coil for Texas blues to screaming leads

And unlike other wire-wound pickups, Fluence Open Core Classics are able to deliver these classic voicings without noise or inductance issues. Discover for yourself why many guitarists have trusted our axes to the Fluence system — check out the LTD EC-1000T CTM.

Classic look meets modern performance

Nothing screams hard rock like ESP’s EC-series single-cut body style. The chambered body of this single-cutaway design gives the EC-1000T CTM epic sustain at a reduced weight, whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the EC-1000T CTM’s highest frets, and this guitar is equipped for everything from growling rhythms to singing leads.
