Description
ESP LTD EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin
The EC-1000 locks in immediately with its thin U-profile neck and set-thru mahogany construction that moves effortlessly under your hands. Built for gigging musicians who need responsive action, clarity, and sustain that cuts through on stage. The Candy Apple Red Satin finish catches light without glare—a practical matte sheen that looks sharp under venue lighting and stands up to road wear.
Playability & Feel
The 24.75-inch scale and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius let you move fast and precise, whether you're dialing in articulate single-note runs or driving hard into chords. Set-thru neck construction with the three-piece mahogany body transfers every ounce of string vibration directly into the core—minimal loss, maximum punch and sustain when you need it live.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Humbuckers respond with tight, defined output and switchable voicing that lets you reshape your tone between songs without swapping gear. Independent volume controls with push/pull functionality and a split-coil tone knob give you real tonal range on stage, while the TonePros locking TOM-style bridge and LTD locking tuners keep your intonation solid through a full set with zero tuning drift.
