ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Fluence Black Guitar
The EC-1000 Fluence Black is built for gigging musicians and studio players who need a road-ready workhorse. Set-thru construction pairs with a thin U-contoured neck for fast upper-fret access and sustain that cuts through a live mix, while the mahogany body and three-piece neck deliver warm, resonant fundamentals that sit well in any ensemble. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist the wear of heavy touring, and the 24.75-inch scale length offers classic balance and feel for lead and rhythm work alike.
Playability & Construction
Set-thru body construction pairs with a thin U neck contour and Macassar ebony fingerboard (350mm radius) to create a responsive, comfortable platform for extended playing sessions. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear while the 42mm molded nut maintains precise string spacing and tuning stability, supported by LTD locking tuners and a TonePros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece for rock-solid intonation.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups with alnico neck and ceramic bridge elements deliver the articulate snap you need for cutting leads and the body required for driving rhythm parts, while active electronics enable the Voice 2 option accessible via the tone knob for expanded tonal range on stage or in the studio. The Volume/Volume/Tone/Toggle Switch layout keeps controls within reach and mind during performance—no unnecessary complexity when you're deep in a set.
