Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body, maple top, and set-thru mahogany neck give this left-handed single-cut a warm, thick midrange with long sustain, while the 24.75" scale keeps string tension relaxed for expressive bends and heavy chording. Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers cover a wide range: the Alnico neck stays warm and articulate for cleans and lead phrasing, and the ceramic bridge pushes tight, cutting high-output crunch, with push-pull coil-splitting on tap for thinner, more open single-coil-style voices. It suits rock, metal, and progressive playing where fast lead work on the 24-fret Macassar ebony board and clear note separation under high gain both matter.
ESP LTD EC-1000 Lefty Guitar in Gold Andromeda B-Stock
The EC-1000 Lefty delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its thin U-shaped neck profile and set-thru construction that extends the neck deep into the body for smooth upper-fret access. The Gold Andromeda finish shifts and reflects across the iridescent surface, creating a striking visual presence that stands apart from conventional guitar aesthetics. Built for left-handed players who demand versatility across rock, metal, and progressive genres without compromise on tone or build quality.
Construction & Tonal Foundation
The mahogany body paired with a maple top delivers warm, rich resonance with solid sustain, while the 3-piece mahogany neck adds depth and consistency to the overall sonic character. Set-thru construction anchors the neck directly through the body, maximizing vibration transfer and eliminating the tonal limitations of bolt-on designs. The 24.75" scale length strikes a balance between playability and string tension, accommodating both aggressive bending and precise articulation across all positions.
Playability & Electronics
The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 13.7" radius accommodates fast lead work and aggressive playing without fretting out, while 24 extra jumbo frets provide ample real estate for modern technique. The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—deliver multi-voice capability via push-pull coil-split, ranging from warm and articulate to high-output and cutting; combined with TonePros locking bridge and LTD locking tuners, this configuration ensures rock-solid tuning stability and comprehensive sound customization.
