Description
ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000QM See Thru Black Cherry Guitar
The EC-1000QM is built for players who need a workhorse that delivers consistency on any stage. Its smooth three-piece mahogany neck and perfectly contoured body sit comfortably whether you're standing all night or sitting in the studio. The set-thru construction combined with a resonant mahogany body and stunning quilted maple top produces rich, articulate tone with excellent sustain and harmonic complexity. This guitar excels across metal, hard rock, blues, and progressive applications, equally capable of thick, saturated tones or expressive, nuanced voicings.
Playability & Feel
The 24.75-inch scale length and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide comfortable fretting across the neck and enable precise intonation with an extended bending range. LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with tailpiece ensure rock-solid tuning stability during aggressive playing and dive-bombs.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickup set—featuring an alnico neck pickup and ceramic bridge pickup—delivers authoritative, defined output with natural compression and clarity across all frequencies. Active electronics with volume/volume/tone/toggle switch configuration provide full tonal control, from tight, aggressive rhythm tones to singing, sustained leads.
