ESP LTD Arrow-1000 QM Guitar Charcoal Burst Satin B-Stock
The Arrow-1000 QM sits in the hands with an extra thin U neck contour and 25.5" scale that makes upper-fret runs and position shifts feel natural and fast. The neck-thru mahogany construction with quilted maple top rings with sustain and clarity, while the reverse headstock and Charcoal Burst Satin finish project confidence on any stage. Built for gigging musicians who demand tonal range and hardware that won't fail during the gig.
Playability & Construction
The neck-thru mahogany body and 3-piece maple neck deliver the sustain and structural rigidity that keeps notes singing through long sets. All 24 frets feel accessible and smooth thanks to the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 300-400mm compound radius and 24 XJ stainless steel frets. The 42mm locking nut and extra thin U neck contour work together to support aggressive lead lines and tight rhythmic control without fatigue.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups—alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—cut through a mix with articulate, punchy character and genuine separation between voices. The master volume with push/pull voice control and toggle switch give you multiple tonal options live without reaching for a pedal, while the Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge paired with Grover tuners locks in tuning even under aggressive bending and dive work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and why is this unit discounted?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with its original manufacturer warranty intact, but has minor cosmetic imperfections—finishing marks, small blemishes, or packaging wear that do not affect tone, playability, or durability. You receive a professional-grade instrument at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for beginner or intermediate players?
This is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The extra-thin U-profile neck and 25.5-inch scale favor faster lead work and complex passages rather than beginner-friendly playability, and the high-output Fishman Fluence pickups are voiced for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent genres.
How do the Fishman Fluence pickups perform in high-gain settings?
The neck pickup uses alnico magnets for warmth and articulation, while the bridge uses ceramic for punchy aggression and clarity. The push/pull voice control and toggle switch let you dial in tonal character on the fly, ensuring sustained resonance and tonal separation even in dense, aggressive mix contexts.
What tuning stability features does this guitar have?
The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge, 42mm locking nut, and Grover tuners combine to provide rock-solid tuning stability during aggressive playing and string bending. The stainless steel frets and compound radius fingerboard (300–400mm) also support precise intonation across all 24 frets.
How does the Arrow-1000 QM compare to the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 or Ibanez RG Premium?
The Arrow-1000 QM competes directly with these models, offering a neck-thru mahogany body, Fishman Fluence voicing, and an extra-thin U-profile neck for fast access and sustain. Choose based on body shape preference (Arrow body vs. traditional or RG), pickup character (Fluence vs. alternatives), and feel in hand during a trial.
