ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Evertune Lefty Guitar Black
The ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM delivers everything a left-handed player needs for serious gigging and stage work. Its mahogany body with maple cap produces warm, articulate tones with punchy midrange and singing sustain that cuts through a mix. The thin, fast neck glides under your fingers across all positions, while the Evertune bridge locks your intonation solid—no tuning drift between songs, no middle-set adjustments. Built with professional-grade components throughout, this guitar excels in rock, metal, and blues where thick, responsive tones and rock-solid stability define your performance.
Playability & Feel
The thin U neck contour paired with a 42mm molded nut and 350mm fingerboard radius creates a fast, comfortable playing experience across all positions. Twenty-two XJ stainless steel extra-jumbo frets provide pronounced definition for both aggressive attack and nuanced expression, while the 24.75" scale balances traditional feel with modern responsiveness.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Classic Humbuckers deliver thick, articulate tones with natural harmonic clarity across a passive electronics layout featuring independent bridge and neck volume controls with push/pull functionality plus a dual push/pull tone stack.
