ESP LTD EC-1000B Baritone Lefty Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD EC-1000B Baritone Lefty Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin
The EC-1000B Baritone Lefty is built for left-handed players who demand serious downtuned firepower. Its 27" baritone scale keeps string tension tight and responsive even in extended tunings, while the set-thru construction locks the neck solid through the body for maximum sustain and easy access to the highest frets. The thin U-shaped neck and 42mm nut width sit comfortably in your hand whether you favor traditional or modern grip styles, eliminating hand fatigue during long gigs and studio sessions.
Playability & Construction
Set-thru construction runs the neck directly through the body, giving you rock-solid structural rigidity and the kind of singing sustain that matters when you're pushing aggressive tones on stage. The 3-piece mahogany neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets create a fast, durable fretboard that handles both palm-muted brutality and clean lead passages without complaint; the 350mm fingerboard radius lets you chord comfortably and bend smoothly across the neck. The thin U contour and 42mm molded nut accommodate both traditional and modern hand positions, keeping your left hand fresh through extended sets.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—alnico in the neck for warm definition, ceramic in the bridge for aggressive bite—deliver expansive tonal range, and each coil has a push/pull voicing switch to dial in exactly what you need from song to song. The mahogany body with maple cap punches through with full-bodied resonance and excellent sustain, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru design and LTD locking tuners guarantee stable intonation night after night, even with the dynamic picking and string-bending demands of modern drop tunings.
