Description
Sound & Tone
The 27-inch baritone scale with heavy .013–.062 strings keeps low tunings tight and defined, while the mahogany body with maple cap and Macassar ebony fingerboard balances warm midrange body against a crisp, percussive attack. Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers — alnico in the neck, ceramic in the bridge — bring high output and clean articulation, and the pull-tone voice switching moves each pickup between distinct characters for everything from thick, sustaining leads to scooped, aggressive rhythm tones. It sits naturally with heavy riffing, extended-range metal, dark alternative textures, and ambient or experimental writing where clarity in the low register matters.
ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin
The extended 27-inch baritone scale delivers crystalline clarity and articulation even in drop-tuned territories, while the sleek charcoal metallic satin finish feels like pure silk under your fingers as you navigate complex passages. The mahogany body with set-through neck construction produces warm, woody resonance with modern punch suitable for heavy riffing, dark alternative textures, or experimental soundscapes. Fast, responsive playability encourages exploration from lightning-fast lead work to thick, singing sustain.
Playability & Construction
The thin U neck contour paired with a 350mm fingerboard radius creates a comfortable, modern playing feel that accommodates both aggressive lead technique and smooth bending. 24 XJ stainless steel frets with glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots ensure durability and visibility during extended sessions, while the 42mm molded nut provides proper string spacing across the wider baritone neck.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck position and ceramic in the bridge—deliver versatile, articulate tones with switchable voices via pull-tone controls, giving you access to multiple sonic characters without leaving the instrument. Active electronics with bridge volume, neck volume, and tone push/pull switching provide responsive control over dynamics and character, while LTD locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through ensure rock-solid tuning stability across extended sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tuning range is this baritone designed for?
The 27-inch baritone scale is engineered for drop-tuned and lower-register playing, shipping with D'Addario XL158 baritone gauge strings (.013–.062). It excels in drop-D and lower territories for metal, progressive, and experimental compositions.
How do the Fishman Fluence Modern pickups differ between neck and bridge?
The neck pickup uses alnico magnets for warm, woody resonance, while the bridge uses ceramic magnets for modern punch and articulation. Both have pull-tone voice switching to access alternate voicings, and the active electronics let you control volume independently per pickup for responsive dynamic shaping.
Is the neck comfortable for both speed and bending?
Yes. The thin U contour and 350mm fingerboard radius create a modern, fast-playing feel, while the set-through mahogany construction and responsive fretwork support smooth, controlled bending across extended sessions. The 24 XJ stainless steel frets are built for durability.
What locking hardware does it have?
The guitar features LTD locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through design, both engineered to hold tuning stability during aggressive playing and extended gigging or recording sessions.
What is included and what are the key specs?
The guitar ships strung and ready to play with D'Addario XL158 baritone gauge strings. Key specs include 27-inch scale, mahogany body with maple cap, set-through neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, 42mm nut, glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots, and charcoal metallic satin finish.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
