Description
ESP LTD Arrow-1000 Guitar in Candy Apple Red Satin
The Arrow-1000 delivers a distinctly sharp, aggressive aesthetic matched by equally commanding playability. Its neck-thru construction and extra-thin U-contour neck encourage fast, fluid fretwork across the 24 stainless steel frets, while the satin candy apple red finish provides visual impact without the maintenance demands of a gloss coat. Built for gigging musicians and players who demand both speed and stability night after night.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale with 42mm locking nut and extra-thin U neck contour create an unusually comfortable platform for rapid playing and sustained bends. The 300–400mm compound fingerboard radius balances vintage comfort with modern low action, while 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear and maintain intonation across years of heavy use on stage. The 3-piece maple neck threaded through a mahogany body with a reverse headstock provides rigidity and sustain that translates to reliable performance under live conditions.
Tone & Electronics
The pairing of Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbuckers—featuring a ceramic bridge pickup and alnico neck pickup—with active electronics and push-pull voicing control delivers modern versatility and tonal clarity for any stage setting. The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge maintains tuning stability through aggressive use while enabling precise tremolo control, and the straightforward volume/toggle switch layout keeps operation intuitive during performance. Grover tuners and black hardware round out components prioritized for road reliability and dependable ownership.
