Description
ESP LTD EC-1000B Baritone Lefty Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin
The EC-1000B Baritone Lefty is built for left-handed players chasing downtuned heaviness without compromise. Its 27" baritone scale maintains ideal string tension and articulation in low tunings, while set-thru construction locks the neck solidly through the body for maximum sustain and upper-fret fluidity. The thin U-shaped neck contour and 42mm nut width sit naturally in the hand, letting you move between traditional and modern grips without hand fatigue.
Playability & Construction
Set-thru design gives you rock-solid sustain and structural integrity that holds up under aggressive playing. A 3-piece mahogany neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets create a fast, responsive surface built to withstand years of hard use; glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots keep you oriented in low-light stage environments without visual distraction. The 350mm fingerboard radius feels at home whether you're digging into chords or running lead lines.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—alnico in the neck for warmth and clarity, ceramic in the bridge for aggressive bite—cut through a mix and handle everything from chunky rhythms to soaring solos. Push/pull voicing switches on the tone control let you access alternate voice circuits on the fly, expanding your palette without cluttering the control panel. The mahogany body with maple cap rings with full-bodied sustain and definition, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru design and LTD locking tuners keep you locked in tune through punishing sets and live performance demands.
