ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Guitar in See Thru Black Cherry B-Stock 1447
Description
ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Guitar in See Thru Black Cherry B-Stock 1447
This EC-1000T CTM sits balanced and responsive in your hands, thanks to its Thin U neck contour and moderate 8 lb 11 oz weight that keeps fatigue out of long sets. The Set-Thru construction locks the neck directly into the body for the sustain and resonance you need on stage, while the See Thru Black Cherry finish reveals the figured wood with striking depth—a guitar that looks as serious as it plays. Minor cosmetic blemishes on this B-stock unit do not affect playability—a genuine value on a professional-grade instrument.
Playability & Feel
The 24.75" scale with 24 XJ stainless steel frets and Macassar Ebony fingerboard at a 350mm radius responds cleanly to every pick attack and bend, giving you articulation and control across a wide dynamic range. A 42mm molded nut and Thin U neck profile in 3-piece mahogany cradle your hand naturally, letting you focus on playing rather than fighting the instrument during intensive work.
Tone & On-Stage Reliability
Dual Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbuckers with push-pull voice controls give you three distinct tonal characters—warm classics to modern bite—all passive for signal integrity and zero noise floor issues. A TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece paired with LTD locking tuners and gold hardware locks in your intonation and holds tight under the demands of touring and heavy playing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect the sound or playability?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—such as small marks or blemishes on the finish or hardware—that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You receive the same professional-grade build quality and full manufacturer warranty as a new instrument at a significant discount.
What tonal options do the Fishman Fluence pickups offer?
The dual Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers feature push-pull voice controls that deliver three distinct tonal characters: warm classics mode, modern articulate voicing, and a third option—all powered passively for pure, uncolored signal. This versatility lets you dial everything from vintage sustain to cutting contemporary clarity.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or funk playing?
This guitar is optimized for hard rock, metal, and progressive styles and is not recommended for jazz or funk. The voicing, pickup character, and overall design favor sustained, aggressive articulation rather than the nuance and smooth response those genres typically demand.
How does the Set-Thru neck construction affect sustain and tone?
Set-Thru construction couples the neck directly to the body, enhancing sustain and tonal coherence compared to bolt-on designs. Combined with the full-thickness and chambered mahogany body, this delivers the resonance and body-to-neck coupling that professionals rely on for heavy, sustained playing.
What skill level is this guitar designed for?
The EC-1000T CTM is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Its responsive 24-fret ebony fingerboard, Thin U neck contour, and balanced weight support intensive play and demanding technique without fatigue.
