ESP LTD EC-1000 Duncan Vintage Black - Electric Guitar

Product Information

The layout of control knobs on this guitar goes as follows: Volume/Volume/Tone, and Toggle Switch. What this guitar doesn’t have is a tremolo, so if you’re used to this feature, ESP LTD EC-1000 might not be your guitar of choice. Reliability In terms of playability, this is one of the EC-1000’s best qualities. Since the guitar is built so well, it plays like a dream right out of the box. I really didn’t even need to do a major setup when I first got it. For the most part, all of the ESP LTD lines of guitars are modeled after ESP’s official premium guitars. The LTD EC-1000 is no exception, sharing the same design as the ESP Eclipse E-II.

I should mention that EMGs are great for any genre. While the majority of players are into heavy metal, progressive, or anything else that requires a lot of overdrive, this doesn’t mean that you can’t play blues on it. With the right type of pedals, you can use EC-1000 for any music genre you can imagine. ESP EC-1000 Is Perfect For Whom? For example, the LTD EC-1000 offers 90% of what the ESP Eclipse E-II offers. So if you want the Eclipse, you’ll end up paying 2 times as much for a guitar that’s only 10% better.Made of a solid mahogany body with a superb colour transition finish, the EC-1000 is a true spectacle of a guitar - but it doesn’t stop there. Playability is always at the forefront of ESP’s design books. Honestly, I don’t really miss a tremolo with this guitar, and I am pretty confident that many other EC-1000 players won’t either.

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. This version of the EC-1000 features the EverTune bridge. The EverTune bridge has a revolutionary design that ensures your guitar stays in perfect tune no matter what. It does this by keeping a constant state of tension on the strings regardless of temperature or humidity changes. If you live in an area where there is a lot of climate change or is humid, you should definitely consider this model. It sounds like it’s too good to be true, but I can assure you that it works like a dream. There’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to setting one up properly, but once done, you basically never have to retune your guitar. Nevertheless, if you are used to this feature and need to have it on every guitar you own, beware that this instrument doesn’t come with a factory preinstalled tremolo, and it’s also quite problematic to find a separately sold tremolo that would fit it. Are there any alternatives? ESP LTD M100FM The look of the guitar is awesome , really , It's a single cut with a matte finish and amazing decals on it , can't have anything against that

Aside from that, the playability of the EC-1000 is incredible. It’s every bit as good as a real ESP Eclipse guitar at half the price. Different ESP LTD EC-1000 Models Players soon started to realize that ESP offered not only spare parts for guitars, but was also able to design a guitar from scratch based on the players’ wishes. During the nineties, ESP introduced LTD which was a sub-brand that offered similar guitars for a fraction of the price.

This guitar has such a good deep clean tone, but when you get it dirty is when it really shines. I will say that the fender does edge it out when playing those clean blues tones, but this is no slouch. I've owned this guitar for about 10 years.... and I can honestly say that even though my strat is valued over a grand more, I'd grab this one in a fire. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.It’s great to see that ESP isn’t cutting corners with this guitar. You get the real deal right out of the box, so you don’t have to worry about replacing them. In this article, I’ll be giving a comprehensive review of the ESP LTD EC-1000, breaking down its specs, features, playability, and sound. Having owned several of these guitars, I’ll be able to break down all of the nuances of this guitar, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. On the other hand, the EC-1000 is manufactured in South Korea. Guitar factories in Korea have a very good reputation. As far as budget guitars go, Korea makes the highest quality guitars out of the typical overseas manufacturers. In most respects, Korean made guitars are superior to guitars produced in Indonesia and China, which are other common countries where guitars are mass produced.
