ESP LTD ARROW-1000ET Evertune Black Guitar B-Stock
The Arrow-1000ET sits in your hands with an extra-thin U neck contour and neck-thru construction that channels energy directly into sustain and resonance you'll feel on stage. This aggressive, arrow-shaped design couples premium materials with cutting-edge hardware to deliver an instrument engineered for professional-level gigging and studio tracking.

Playability & Neck Feel
Neck-thru design with a 3-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard delivers rock-solid stability and a fast, smooth playing surface that responds immediately to your fingers. The extra-thin U neck contour, combined with a 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius, lets you lock into aggressive bends at the first fret and navigate technical passages in the upper register without friction, while the 42mm molded nut spaces the strings consistently across the fretboard for reliable intonation.
Tone & Reliability
The revolutionary Evertune F-model bridge keeps your tuning locked tight through entire sets—no tuning drift between songs, no hassle when you need to focus on playing. Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups—alnico in the neck position for warmth and articulation, ceramic in the bridge for aggressive punch—switch between voicings via push-pull control and toggle selector, giving you tonal range across multiple genres without changing guitars.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—marks or blemishes on the finish that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You get full manufacturer warranty and the same professional-grade performance as a new unit at a significant discount.
How does the Evertune bridge work, and why does it matter?
The Evertune F-model bridge uses a constant tension system that maintains perfect tuning and intonation even under aggressive playing, extended performance sets, or extreme bends. This eliminates tuning drift, making it ideal for long gigs or studio sessions where stability is critical.
What kind of tones can the Fishman Fluence pickups deliver?
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers feature alnico voicing in the neck (warm, articulate) and ceramic in the bridge (aggressive, punchy). A push-pull control lets you switch voicing instantly, and a toggle switch selects between neck and bridge pickups, giving you versatile tonal range across metal, hard rock, and progressive styles.
Is the extra-thin U neck comfortable for traditional jazz or folk?
The extra-thin U contour and 25.5" scale length are optimized for speed, technical precision, and drop tunings—best suited for metal, hard rock, and progressive styles. Traditional jazz and folk players typically prefer thicker neck profiles and different hardware voicing.
What specs make this guitar stable for drop tunings and extended playability?
The neck-thru construction with 3-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard delivers superior stability, while the 300-400mm compound radius handles both aggressive bending at lower frets and technical upper-register work. The 24 stainless steel frets and 42mm nut ensure consistent playability and tuning stability across demanding applications.
